Wholehearted Devotion: Living Fully for Christ
I found Spurgeon's Morning Devotion for November 14th particularly convicting so I added a prayer at the end.
"I will cut off them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham." - Zephaniah 1:5
Uniting the Divided Heart
The divided heart is a universal struggle, an age-old tug-of-war between the fleeting allure of this world and the enduring beauty of God’s love. It is not difficult to see how our hearts drift—our desires sway toward wealth, lusts, and approval. These things whisper promises of satisfaction, yet they inevitably leave us more restless and anxious than before. We find ourselves torn, seeking God in moments of need, yet tethered to ambitions, fears, and comforts that offer no lasting peace.
Resting in "It is Finished"
"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished,' and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." — John 19:30
In His final moments on the cross, Jesus spoke three words that carry eternal significance: "It is finished." For the Christian, these words are not just a historical statement; they are a lifeline, an invitation to rest, and a wellspring of unshakable peace. But what does it mean to live in light of "it is finished"?
What do Christians mean when they say that people need to be "saved"?
Do we mean that people need simply to modify their behavior and obey God’s law? It would be great if it were that simple, but that is not what we mean (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16).
Do you know that your sins are forgiven?
by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
'I am glorified in them' (John 17:10).
