PURE MILK OF GOD’S WORD!

1 Peter 2:2 – Devotional

1 Peter 2:2

“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”

I recall watching our grandchildren tasting their first solid food. It brought back many memories when our three children tasted their first solid food. As I recall it was always mashed potatoes and gravy that I slipped into their eager mouths.

I had copied what I had observed my dad frequently do. It was usually the men in the family who did it. It was never my wife or mom who did the sneaky deed. My wife, Joyce, or my mom would chastise us, but it was fun anyway!

It is humorous to talk about our babies needing their solid food, but all too often we have huge congregations of believers who still exist on predigested spiritual food instead of sinking their teeth into something solid by devoting quality time in the personal study of God’s Word.

As you honestly evaluate your spiritual life, where do you see yourself? Are you able to dig into the solid meat of God’s Word or is it necessary for you to have someone else feed you? It is time for us to grow up!

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

ETERNAL LIFE! – 1 John 2:17 Devotional

by | Jun 9, 2026 | 1 John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ETERNAL LIFE!

1 John 2:17 – Devotional

1 John 2:17

“The world is passing away and the lust of it,
but the one who does the will of God abides forever.”

Some quick-witted person has observed that none of us will get out of this world alive. While that may be true in the physical sense, it certainly is not true in the eternal sense!

From time to time I allow my mind to attempt to fathom the reality of eternal life. I soon realize for the human mind it is impossible. We have always experienced a beginning and ending, so the idea of everlasting eternity stretches our mind past the breaking point. We simply must accept eternity as an unknown reality!

The reality of eternal life is true for the believer and also for the unbeliever. Each and every human will live forever. We will live in heaven with God or in hell with Satan. I have chosen eternal life in heaven with God!

Our decision as to where we will spend eternity must be made before we die. Now is the day of decision and sadly some have delayed to make the decision and the hour of death has taken them. I implore you to make sure you accept the glorious offer of eternal life while there is still time!

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

JESUS ALONE! – Luke 12:15 Devotional

by | Jun 8, 2026 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS ALONE!

Luke 12:15 – Devotional

Luke 12:15

“Take heed and beware of covetousness,
for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

I was once asked to visit our county jail and speak with a young man who had been convicted of a fairly serious crime. As I sat down at a table in the visiting room, Ben approached with a wide smile and placed his Bible on the table. It was a very touching meeting as Ben shared from his heart.

Ben told me that a year ago he felt he had it all—a new pickup, a boat and a motorcycle. Ben also had a wife and two kids and his future looked bright. Then he made some foolish decisions, because even with all of his possessions, Ben wanted even more. He committed a crime to get them. As a result he lost his wife and family, house and vehicles.

The smile on his face did not match the story Ben was relating to me. Ben shared how he had given his heart to the Lord Jesus while he was locked up in the county jail. I still can recall as Ben placed his hand on his Bible and said that the only things he could now count as his own were his Bible and a sweater back in his cell. Ben related that with Jesus in his heart he was the richest man in the world.

Ben deeply regretted his sin and offenses and what he had done to his family, but he was rejoicing in the fact that he had passed from death to eternal life and now possessed treasures which are of far more value than anything the world has to offer. It reminds me that when we come to the place that Jesus is all we have, we will find that He is all that we will ever need.

Many passages in Scripture bring us to the vital truth—Jesus is all we will ever need. Like that young man in the county jail, with Jesus in our heart we are richer than the wealthiest man in the world. It is time we start living with that truth.

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