April 22, 2020 – Devotion With Pastor Dan

It is early Wednesday morning here in beautiful Rathdrum Idaho, and from the looks of it, we may have a little bit of rain today. But, that doesn’t mean it will not be a nice day, of course, every day should be nice and wonderful in the life of a Christian right? No matter how cloudy it seems. There are the cloudy days that bring rain, and there are cloudy days that bring despair when trials come. It’s true, trials come and are difficult to get through at times, you know that …

(John 15:5)…..”I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Now that is a verse that has been on my mind for quite some time, a few years anyway. I have come to realize how true it is. Yet the human response still remains the same in most, if not all, the people we run into on a daily basis, who believe they can do everything without the Lord’s help and power. Think …

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17)

Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:11)

The first three Evangelists spoke of redemption as a pardon of sin, or Justification. John spoke of it as a Life which Christ is to live in us, or Regeneration. In …

It’s not every day that we roll out of bed and think that we live in a perfect world, trouble free, no difficulties, all things wonderfully full of frosting and gum drops. OK!, so never! But in Christ we have the promise of Him working all things to the good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. But let’s assume you are feeling troubled, inadequate, weak, defeated, overwhelmed, alienated, or alone? Here are six gospel promises to embrace today:

1. The Gospel Promises Forgiveness Today

(Joshua 1:9 – NKJV)…..”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Oh how we forget that very truth! How many times are we afraid because we forget that God is with us wherever we go. Maybe we just haven’t come to believe that His promise to us is that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Over and over the Bible tells us to not be afraid. …

(2 Thessalonians 3:16 – NKJV)…..Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Several times the Bible refers to God as the God of peace. But
as English readers, we miss the full meaning. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament of the Bible was written in Greek. All English Bibles are translations. The Greek word translated peace is eirene (i-ray’-nay), which corresponds with the Hebrew word translated peace, shalom
(shaw-lome’). If you study extensively, both in …

(Philippians 3:14 – KJV)…..I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Have you ever thought about your life? Sure you have, we think about it everyday from the time we wake up until the time we go to sleep. As a matter of fact, we are consumed everyday with making our life wonderful here on earth. Or at least we try to. But what will really matter at the end of your life on earth? I think here would be a good time …

God gave instructions to the Israelites so they could escape the judgment coming on the Egyptians.

(Exodus 12:7,13 – NKJV)….. “And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept my Fathers commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10 – NKJV)

The question is often asked: How can I come to abide in Christ always? To live wholly for Him? Such is my desire and fervent prayer. In our text the Lord gives the simple but far-reaching answer: “Keep My commandments.” This is the only, the sure, the blessed way of abiding in Him. “If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My …
