Christians should reflect Jesus to the world so that all can share in the joy of salvation.

From Galatians 2:19-20:  “For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.  I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Calvary would remain forever in darkness, if not for our Father’s grace in sharing the ultimate love of His Son.

Early morning surroundings

Freshly brewed coffee now poured

Moments of light compounding

Conversation with faith’s Lord

 

Bible’s pages reopened

Study begins with God’s Word

Grace knocking, heart now opened

More than coffee being stirred

 

Gentle spirit settles in

Wisdom seeks receptive ear

Father finds trusted plug-in

Lessons become crystal clear

 

Coffee cup now filled with grace

Sunrise seals Savior’s snapshot

Rising in this humble place

Redemption forever bought

Oswald Chambers Quote

Pray now; draw on the grace of God in the moment of need.

From 2 Corinthians 6:1:  “As we work together with Him, we entreat you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.”

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.
