So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.   - Luke 11:9-10 This promise is one of those Bible verses we know, but rarely practice. It's a great verse to frame and put on the wall, but a better verse to live by. Prayer is not a on...

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. - Romans 6:14 The good news of the Gospel is that sin no longer is in control of your life. Jesus' blood has paid the penalty for sin and has broken the power of sin. Before you came to Christ, sin was your master. You were in bondage to temptation and a slave to the call of sin. When you came to Christ, everything ch...

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. – Titus 3:5 God's mercy is poured out on those who put their faith in Christ. Mercy is not getting what you deserve.

When He makes a promise, He keeps it. God is faithful to accomplish His Word in your life. God called you to a new life in Christ. He is working day by day to make you more like Jesus. What God begins in your life,...

Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass. - Joshua 21:45 In this passage, Joshua is reviewing the faithfulness of God. All the promises He made to Joshua, He fulfilled. God has not changed since the days of Joshua. He is still the promise-keeping God. You can have confidence that if God has made a promise, He will be faithful to fulfill t...

Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. – John 15:9 If there is one word that summarizes the Gospel, it's love. From the beginning, love was the central theme of Christianity. God loves you so much that He gave His Son. Jesus said, as much as God loves Him, He loves us. When you understand just how much God loves you, the Christian life comes alive. As we walk in...

Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. - Philippians 3:20 In this episode, we look at six things God says about heaven. As a Christian, you need never worry about "if" you will go to heaven. Through faith in Christ, you have the promise that when you close your eyes in death, you will open them in the presence of God. As citizens of heaven, w...

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. - Ephesians 3:20 I love this promise because it speaks to the unlimited power God has made available to you and me.

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 Soon or later, you'll discover you're living on a spiritual battlefield. You may not see it as you drive to the office, or take the kids to school, but a spiritual battle is wagging all around you. The forces of darkness are coming against you and your family.   The only way to survive and live in victory Christ has promised is to liv...

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. - Psalm 37:23-24 Falling and failure are part of life. Most of us have or will have a great fall. It may be a financial fall, could be a relational fall, or even a moral fall. No matter what your fall looks like, it is common to all of us. The g...

The world as we know will pass away, and God will rebirth creation with a new heaven and new earth. At that time, God will establ...

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.  - Ephesians 1:18-19 Before you came to Christ, the Bible says the world has blinded you to God's love and goodness.

First, He declares that He has been given all aut...

Today we celebrate the one year anniversary of The Daily Promise. We have much to be thankful for, so we are focusing on a promise related to giving thanks. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. - Psalm 118:29 You can give thanks today because God is good.   You can give thanks today because God is caring for you in ways beyond your knowledge.   You can gi...

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Isaiah 1:18 This promise begins with an invitation. God invites you to come to Him with your sin. When you sin, the last person you want to talk to is God. So often, when you sin, you hide from God. You feel guilty and shame...

Stop and think about this for a moment. Right now, God is thinking about you. You have His attention. He is pouring his love over you as he thinks about you. You can never comprehend the number of precious thoughts He has toward you.   As the father of three grown children, I think about my kids many times a day. Sometimes it's a fond memory of the past. Sometimes it's a wish to see them soon, and...

The Christian life is a Joy-filled life. Jesus was the most joyful person to ever walk on the earth. He destroyed the burdensome teachings of the religious leaders and invited His followers into a joyful relationship with God. It was His overflowing joy that attracted people to Him. Second, to love, joy is the main characteristic of the Christian life. When Paul described the characteristics of a...

I have a giant tree in the center of my back yard. It towers above the house and is the home to a group of squirrels. The squirrels love this tree. They chase each other running and jumping from limb to limb.   They love to climb out on to the very edge of the smallest of branches. You can see the limb droop as they walk out to the very edge.   They're never worried, nervous, or cautious; they loo...

You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain. – John 15:16 It's a little hard to wrap your head around this, but the God of the universe chose you. He spoke to your heart and drew you to Himself. Before the world even began, God chose you to be his child. One day God looked down and saw you. You were filthy, defeated, a...

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. - 1 John 5:4 As a Christian, you walk in victory, overcoming the world. You overcome temptation, sin, and every attack that comes against you.   Your victory doesn't come from your personal discipline, hard work, or effort.
