Are we filled with the Fullness of God?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , The House of the Lord

David wrote and sang often in his psalms about living in the house of the Lord, and we realize that this was his great desire. Now as Christians our body has become the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the reality of God residing with us is more than David’s hope, or a distant dream… it is reality. To the Christian the question becomes this; do we long to live in God’s house (our bodies) with Him as David did, or do we treat Him like a guest that we love to see come, but whose leaving is a relief to us?

Loving The World, Loving our Enemies, and Choosing our Friends

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Friends

Who are our friends? Who do we associate with every day? We are told to love our neighbors, and our enemies, and we should, but most of these are not believers in God, and Jesus. So if they are not believers should we just love them… or are we to make them our friends and companions as well? How about making them our close friends, or a BFF (Best Friend Forever)? If this bothers you, would it make a difference if these unbelievers who don’t follow Jesus were law abiding citizens of good moral value? What does scripture tell us about who our friends should be?
