Men and Women; are we Lost in our Natures Today?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Our Sexuality and Faith

I have never done this before, but my devotional message yesterday contained a gem that our society today seems to have lost. I received a nice email from Lou who is a wonderful friend, wife to Jack, mother of five daughters, woman that has worked a lifetime alongside her husband, and a saint who is now in her later years of life; I want to share her note with you, along with my reply to her. Here is what she wrote to me regarding my grandfather’s saying (A man is only as good as his word) that I shared briefly with you in yesterday’s devotional titled “The Revelation of Answered Prayer.”

Feral Man, and the Loving Hand of God

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Transforming the Feral Man

When we first meet Him, God doesn’t just rush into our lives, He treats us much like I learned to treat stray or feral dogs and cats when I was a boy. When I met an animal for the first time I would approach it very slowly, and when I noticed that it was getting nervous or was preparing to run I’d stop; all the while I was speaking to it in a soft and reassuring voice. This is very similar to how God approaches us before He reaches out His hand towards us.

Experiencing the Spiritual and Physical in our Lives

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Dichotomy of Man

Experiencing religion, and the dichotomy of man, will be our topic of study today. We will explore who we are, and those moments of religious experience that are so important and life changing for us. Moments like our new birth in Christ, baptism, communion, Christening, marriage, foot washing, receiving the Holy Spirit, and all the other experiences of faith that form our lives, as well as our faith, and worship.

The Power of Relationship, and Fellowship, within our Faith

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Relationship, Fellowship

There are individual aspects to our faith that are undeniable; we must personally decide to believe in, and worship, God, and individually we must be called to Jesus as the Son of God, to live our lives in faith, but these individual acts of belief guide us into something more, a relationship with God, and Jesus Christ. Even further than this, our singular actions of dedication, and faith, are meant to bring us into fellowship with one another. The Holy Spirit brings us together in this way through our love, and faith. Do we have this fellowship, or are we wandering alone in our faith?
