Life is short. It is extremely short. James says that we are mists that appear for a little time and then vanish (James 4:14). This becomes evidently clear when people around us pass away long before we expect them to. We expect everyone to live to be eighty or ninety years old. The truth, however, […]
We have made it to the last day of this daily devotional study on Romans 12! A lot of ground has been covered over these thirteen verses. The apostle Paul has taken us into some thought-provoking truths, as he has shown us what true Christians are supposed to look like. He ends this section of […]
We are on the second to last day of our current daily devotional! Romans 12 has had some very timely and challenging truths in it. Paul has had much to say about how we respond and retaliate in certain situations. More specifically, he has challenged us with how we should respond when we have been […]
Today’s verse in our daily devotional has the potential to set our hearts free, if we choose to trust it. If we truly trust what Paul is saying in verse 19, then we will be able to live out some of the other commands that we have already discussed. In verse 14, Paul told us […]
We are closing in on the last few days of our daily devotional on Romans 12! I don’t know about you, but it seems like the apostle Paul’s words get more and more convicting as we go! He is giving us a one-sided command today. This command has nothing to do with anyone but ourselves. […]
“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.” (Romans 12:17) This verse is so good and so important for Christians to understand and take to heart. Paul is giving us some practical wisdom for guarding our image and witness as we continue on in […]
“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.” (Romans 12:16) Today is something I think we all need to hear! If you are new to this study, we are currently in a 13-day daily devotional on Romans 12. I would encourage […]
“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15) We are continuing on to day 7 of our daily devotion on Romans 12! Crazy! If you remember on Saturday, in Romans 12:13, we saw Paul call the church to act like the church. He called Christians to act like Christians by meeting […]
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.” (Romans 12:14) Talk about starting the week off with a tough command! As we pick back up with our 13-day daily devotional on Romans 12, verse 14 gives us some hard truth. We are supposed to bless those who persecute us? That seems so […]
“Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.” (Romans 12:13) Today is day 5 of our 13-day daily devotional on Romans 12! Paul has some important words for us in verse 13. He is going to take us back to the roots of the early church. I am afraid that we […]
