Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan – July 30th, 2020

Habakkuk was a contemporary of Jeremiah and was written probably between 609 and 605 BC – a time of major upheaval. Assyria, the major world power that had destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel about one hundred years previously had fallen, and the Babylonians (Chaldean’s) were beginning to look threatening. The southern kingdom of Judah has had a mixture of good and bad kings, and are now filled with corruption. Writing fifteen to twenty years before Habakkuk in about 625 BC, Jeremiah assesses the state of his country (Jeremiah 5:26-29). …

Morning Devotions With Pastor Dan – July 29th, 2020.

Does God really care about me? – Does God really understand what I am going through in my life? – Is God really there? – Can I really trust Him? These are questions we might hear in today’s world from people who are looking for help and hope. There are many things in this world which people put their trust in or get their security from, the sad thing is that most, if not all, of what the world derives their trust and security from will fail them. As a child …

(1 Samuel 13:13-14)…..And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

In Paul’s sermon at Antioch, in which he briefly recounts the history of …

(Matthew 7:21-23)…..“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

This verse out of Matthew’s Gospel has always been one of the most fearful verses to me as I have studied the Scriptures through the …

There is a Bible verse that most everyone knows or has at least heard it some time in their life. Yes, you guessed it, it is (John 3:16). This morning I just want to break down this verse a little bit.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

GOD SO LOVED – The word “so” often denotes intensity. For instance, a man may say to his wife, “I love you sooooo much,” as he wishes to express the measure …

I have been looking at Paul’s life all week, and the things that he tells the believers in Galatia about the gospel and the state of his old nature as he lives for Christ. That he has been crucified with Christ. Just look how Paul says this in…..

(Galatians 2:20)…..I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave …

What a promise we have that the Lord will never leave us or forsake us. It sure is comforting to know that truth. But how many know this?

(Deuteronomy 31:8 NASB)…..”And the LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed.”

God’s promise is He will never leave us or forsake us. Yet we may sometimes feel hopeless and helpless — like we are facing life all alone. Regardless of the circumstances, or how you feel, remember that …

When we take a moment to look back over our lives – we can see that God has been faithful to us in everything. Oh, it may have been difficult at times, but He is more than faithful to those who are His. I hope that you too can testify to the Lord’s faithfulness. His word declares His faithfulness to you – (Numbers 23:19) (Deuteronomy 32:4) (Psalm 33:4) (Isaiah 41:10) (1 John 1:9) (1 Corinthians 1:3-9) (Philippians 1:6) (2 Timothy 2:13)

His faithfulness does give us a sense of comfort – and great security – but it …
