REMEMBER! – Matthew 5:14-16 Devotional

REMEMBER!

Matthew 5:14-16 – Devotional

Matthew 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

“Though now at his Savior’s side, he is sorely missed for his rock-solid faith and thankfulness for God’s grace, his big heart, his quick smile, and for always being there with a word of encouragement.” These words were just a part of an obituary for a man I had never met and who lived and died hundreds of miles away from me.

What wonderful memories he has left behind for friends and family who knew him and will always remember him. The life that he lived became the very precious memories that would linger in their hearts.

Have you ever written an obituary? Perhaps it’s a father, mother, or a sibling? It is a daunting task and no doubt you will end up with tears as you reflect on those times in the past that will always be remembered.

An even more daunting task is to type your own obituary. In what way do you want to be remembered? Has your light burned so bright that it provided light to those who walk in darkness? Do you live so consistently for the Lord that people will remember you as one who walked close to God? Now is the time to take stock of the things that really matter in life and will count for eternity. REMEMBER!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

WHOEVER BELIEVES! – Music Devotional

WHOEVER BELIEVES!

Music Devotional

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has created a new song entitled, “Whoever Believes.” He would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Whoever Believes (inspired by John 3:16-17)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born[a] Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him” (John 3:16-17)

[Verse 1]
God so loved the world He made,
Love beyond all measure shown.
Not a distant silent love,
But a gift from heaven’s throne.
He gave His one and only Son,
Sent to walk the earth below—
Love came down to rescue us,
More than we could ever know.

[Pre-Chorus]
A door is open wide today,
An invitation to believe.

[Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
From every nation, every people,
God’s great love is reaching far.
No more lost and no more broken,
Life is shining from above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will find eternal life in love.

[Verse 2]
He did not come to judge the world,
Not to bring a word of blame.
He came to save the lost and wandering,
Calling every soul by name.
Light has come into the darkness,
Hope for all who choose to see—
Love has made a way to heaven,
Through the cross at Calvary.

[Pre-Chorus]
A door is open wide today,
An invitation to believe.

[Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
From every nation, every people,
God’s great love is reaching far.
No more lost and no more broken,
Life is shining from above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will find eternal life in love.

[Bridge]
Two roads before the human soul,
One leads to life, one fades away.
But mercy calls through Christ alone—
Believe in Him today.

[Final Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
God so loved the world He gave us
Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Lift your eyes and see His mercy,
Heaven’s gift from up above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will live forever in His love.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

CLEAN UP YOUR ACT! – Luke 19:45 Devotional

by | Apr 23, 2026 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil's Evotional Read

CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!

Luke 19:45 – Devotional

Luke 19:45

“Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it.”

There have been a few times in my life when I was so dirty I looked like a dust ball. This was after spending hours on a mower or plow. It was a sheer delight to step into a shower and wash away the accumulated dirt and grime.

In the week of His crucifixion, Jesus exposed the sins of the leaders. The religious hierarchy had departed far from God’s demand for holiness. Jesus saw that they had violated the sanctity of the temple by allowing commercial enterprises to exist in a place they should have kept holy. They compromised in order to profit financially. They may have justified their actions by claiming that allowing peddlers in the temple was just to make it easy for the pilgrims to be able to sacrifice. Jesus was not deceived!

As I read today’s Scripture I am struck with the reality that anytime Jesus comes into our life, He wants to cleanse us. He will not tolerate our feeble excuses for allowing sin to contaminate us. He is the only One who can clean us completely.

How does Jesus go about cleansing the sin in our life? 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Is there sin in your life that needs to be cleansed? Read this verse and then obey it!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
