Daniel 9:9 “To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him” Everyday even the mightiest Christian rebels against God. Yet everyday, when we confess and repent of our wickedness, the Lord offers His forgiveness. And I’m so thankful He does. But why does God do it? First and foremost,… Continue reading June 20th – Daniel 9:9

June 3rd – Isaiah 43:25
Isaiah 43:25 When someone wrongs us and then genuinely apologizes, the Bible tells us to forgive them immediately. Hard enough. But then God goes one step further and calls us to not only forgive, but to forget. Offering the same complete forgiveness to others that He offers us each day. Because few things are more… Continue reading June 3rd – Isaiah 43:25

Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” I don’t know about you, but I struggle with repentance.

April 21st – Revelation 16:9
Revelation 16:9 Throughout the book of revelation you see a people with a hardened heart against God.

March 26th – Psalm 15:1
Psalm 15:1 If the list of requirements to dwell with God forever sound impossible, it’s because it’s supposed to be. For we can’t truly realize our need for Jesus until we understand how far we have fallen short of God’s holiness. Christ is the only one who can cleanse us and prepare us to dwell… Continue reading March 26th – Psalm 15:1
March 13th – 1 Corinthians 10:13
1 Corinthians 10:13 Evangelist Billy Sunday once said, “Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.” Temptations are everywhere, and not even the strongest Christian is immune to their pull. But thankfully we have the blessing of knowing that God will never let Satan tempt us… Continue reading March 13th – 1 Corinthians 10:13
March 6th – Psalm 106:6
Psalm 106:6 Comedian Flip Wilson was famous for always using the phrase, “The Devil made me do it!” And he isn’t the first.

But that excuse didn’t work for her, and it… Continue reading March 6th – Psalm 106:6

February 8th – 1 Peter 4:8
1 Peter 4:8 The one thing Peter wanted Christians to know above all else, was the importance of loving one another. Not because loving others earns God’s forgiveness. For we know that our sins are paid for through the blood of Christ. And forgiveness for sin comes only through trusting in Him. Instead it means that… Continue reading February 8th – 1 Peter 4:8
