Discipleship is based on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on adherence to a belief or a creed.

From John 21:15-17:  “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?’  He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love you.’  Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’  A second time He said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me?’  He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love you.’  Jesus said to him, ‘Tend My sheep.’  He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me?’  Peter felt hurt because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’  And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know everything; You know that I love you.’  Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My sheep.'”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

God’s justice indeed must be satisfied; and there is no way in the world to give satisfaction to God, but by believing in Christ.

From Acts 4:11-12:  “This Jesus is ‘the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.’  There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”

Ralph Erskine (1685-1752) was a Scottish-born pastor and Christian writer.

The best place to start doing life with God is in small moments.

Earth’s crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God:  But only he who sees takes off his shoes.

From Exodus 3:4-5:  “When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, ‘Moses, Moses!’  And he said, ‘Here I am.’  Then He said, ‘Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.'”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) was an English poet of the Victorian era.  Her published works earned popularity in both Great Britain and the United States.

God has the right to be trusted; to be believed that He means what He says; and that His love is dependable.

From Proverbs 3:5-6:  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

A. J. (Arthur John) Gossip (1873-1954) was a Scottish-born pastor and Christian teacher.

Reminded with each sunrise

Praise Resurrection’s light

Redemption rises with Christ

Witness empty tomb at daylight

 

Gates of righteousness opened

Rejoice, be glad in it

Salvation’s final answer

At Calvary, Christ’s love submits

 

Freed from sin by Savior’s blood

Spirit stirs within man

Nourished with His mercy’s peace

Promises fulfilled through God’s plan

 

Each step, filled with repentance

Mercy always present

Believe in faith’s risen Lord

Gathered in prayer, as He meant

 

Follow Shepherd’s tender voice

Path ahead, filled with love

Grace shall cleanse, power to free

Truth speaks from Heaven’s throne above

From John 20:26-27:  “A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them.  Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’  Then He said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see My hands. Reach out your hand and put it in My side.  Do not doubt but believe.'”

Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” will be nothing compared to the myriad of angels who will sing in antiphonal voice as we join them in praises to the Lamb of God.

From Revelation 5:11-12:  “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, singing with full voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!'”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

The simplicity of the Gospel gives what the complexity of human wisdom promises but never delivers.

From Micah 6:8:  “He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?”

John MacArthur (born 1939) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Our Lord received Himself in the fire of sorrow, He was saved not from the hour, but out of the hour.

From John 12:27-28:  “Now My soul is troubled.  And what should I say:  ‘Father, save Me from this hour’?  No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.  Father, glorify Your name.   Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.'”
