God’s Continuing Creation, and our part in it.

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotion, Creation, Continuous

Has God finished His creation and turned it loose to play itself out? Is the big picture painted, and now we simply exist within it trying to perceive what it might look like if we could only step back to see it in total as through God’s eyes? Are we merely ants skittering here and there doing our small part, with our only purpose being to play out a part in some divine production? Well friends, God’s creation remains under constant construction, it is meant to be for and about us, and His love for us demonstrates this.

Reclaiming the Raging Flame of The Lord’s Church

Church, Communal Worship, Daily Devotion, Christian

Do you regularly go to church, and if you do, how do you worship God? More to the point is this... do you worship God together as a church body? Do you lift up your praise, worship, and prayers as one, and then wait on Him? Congregations that don’t worship together might contain specks of brilliant faith scattered within the pews, but never really meet God as He desires.

Standing as One Before a Changed Life in Christ

Richard Forbes
Daily Devotion, Faith, Christian, Changed Life

When you gave your life to Christ, did you become a changed person? Did you join with all those who had come before you in reestablishing your life, and allowing Jesus to give you a fresh start? Did you follow Jesus into a righteous and holy life of worshipping God with a His saints? We are meant to leave behind those things that once defined us and become like Christ... Godly, righteous, Holy. Are you wandering alone?

Come Out of the Cave Elijah!

Richard Forbes
Faith, Daily Devotion, Church, Not Alone, Christian, One

Are you a loner in your faith? Do you feel like you can take the Bible and journey to a mountaintop on your own without regard for the Church or the body of Christendom? Do you look at bible characters such as Elijah the prophet who was sent to the mountain to wait in a cave for the Lord God to appear and say “this is me! I am meant to be alone!”; do you think that is what Jesus did? Well if so, you had better rethink your position of faith, and your approach to religion. We are all meant to be one, just as God calls us to believe as one, He then joins us to the body of faith to become one with it... one Church.
