VMI, and Answering the Call of the Gospel

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Choosing to Believe

Hearing the gospel of Jesus (that He was born, lived, suffered, died, and was resurrected to redeem us from sin and death), and having this message fall on that fertile spot within us, creates a need for it that is unquenchable. Are you one of those in whom the gospel of Jesus Christ has found a slight furrow into which its seed has fallen and taken root? If so then despite the season you are in, you will be called to tend it... time and time again, day after day, you will nurture it until it bears sweet fruit. For all the others there will be only darkness, and a withering drought.

I am Hated because Jesus was Hated

Daily Devotional , Those Who Disbelieve

Are you a disbeliever in spiritual things? Do you shun God, and Jesus Christ? Do you lash out at those who do believe in them, and who lead lives of faith? I often asked myself why atheists were not satisfied with simply not believing, but had to enter into a personal war against faith, and people who did believe. Then in the midst of prayer I had an epiphany... their disbelief was fueled by a sense of unworthiness, and the feeling that they could never live a sin free life as God asked; so they struck out at that thing which they felt they couldn’t achieve. The sad truth is that they had no personal hope, or understanding of God’s mercy, and His grace that flows to them through Jesus.
