Where does Godly wisdom come from? Is it found in the many books we read, or the things we watch on tv, or some other electronic gaget? This morning I want to speak to the treasure that is hidden in the Father and in Christ, “wisdom.” We know that God had given Solomon great wisdom, for sure more than any other of his time. God used him to declare and show the wisdom of God to God’s people. We know that the book of Proverbs was written for the purpose …
Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according …
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan – October 16th, 2020
Have you ever had occasion to rejoice before the Lord? The answer should be yes every day! What are a few things that bring rejoicing to the Christian? (1.) God’s Word (Jeremiah 16:15), (2.) Assurance (Luke 10:20), (3.) Salvation (Luke 15:3-10), (4.) Persecution (Acts 5:40-41). In (Philippians 4), we see Paul rejoicing over God’s provision for him (Philippians 4:10-23), it is a thank-you for the financial gift sent to him by Epaphroditus. It is a magnificent thing when we see God provide for our needs, …

(Philippians 2:3-4)…..3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Self-centeredness is a very, very old problem. The first sin in the world was committed when Satan talked Eve into thinking that her own will was self-sufficient (Genesis 3:1-6). Yet, self-centeredness is a peculiarly modern way of thinking too. Humanism, the prevailing philosophy of the modern …

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. 2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” 3 As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips. 5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance …

(2 Timothy 1:13-14)….Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to yo, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
I see so many people running to and fro these days looking for that church that will please their flesh more than being Biblically sound. It seems that the Word of God (Scriptures), have become the boring part of the service, so the result is that its preaching and …

(1 Samuel 16:7)…..But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not seeas man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
When Samuel was sent to anoint the new king of Israel, he learned that God’s measure of a person was different than man’s. God hasn’t changed His ways in this at all. As a matter of fact, He is the same yesterday, today, and …

(Psalm 45:1-9)…..My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. 3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty. 4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. 5 Your arrows are sharp in the …

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me …

(Psalm 30) is titled….“A song at the dedication of the house of David,” (you might want to take a moment to read it before you continue in this devotion). It is thought that David wrote this Psalm later in his life after the Lord’s promise in (2 Samuel 7) that established his throne forever, and gave permission for the temple to be built by Solomon. It might be that David was looking back, and reflecting on all that the Lord has done for him and promised him. Maybe you …
