Unseen by human eyes, a great exchange took place as Jesus hung on the cross. He took all our sin upon Him and bore the wrath of every single one . . . past, present, and future.

From Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

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

Sometimes, we need a housecleaning of the heart.

From Ezekiel 36:26: “A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you, and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

Catherine Marshall (1914-1983) was an American author who wrote about Christian inspiration as well as other nonfiction and fiction works.

But by faith I see God and, inaudibly, I hear Him on a regular basis, reading Him written in the events of my life–whether it be the crushing blows that drive me to my knees or the joyous triumphs that send my heart winging.

From Matthew 28:20: “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

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

F. B. Meyer Quote

The one thing that hinders God is our unbelief.

From Mark 9:23-24: “Jesus said to him, ‘If you are able! All things can be done for the one who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!'”

F. B. (Frederick Brotherton) Meyer (1847-1929) was an English pastor, evangelist, and Christian writer. He was heavily invested with inner city mission work in both his native country as well as the United States.

Each day, each moment is so pregnant with eternity that if we tune in to it, we can hardly contain the joy.

From Psalm 118:24: “Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.”

Gloria Gaither (born 1942) is a Christian singer, songwriter, and speaker. She performed with the Bill Gaither Trio from 1965 to 1991.

A. W. Pink Quote

Evangelical repentance is not at the beck and call of the creature. It is the gift of God.

From Romans 2:4: “Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer. Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers. This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

Too many times we miss so much because we live on the low level of the natural, the ordinary, the explainable.

From Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who works wonders; You have displayed Your might among the peoples.”

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author. During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.

There is only one place where we are right, and that is in Christ Jesus.

From 1 Peter 2:9: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the excellence of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

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.

Remember, ultimately we are not submitting to human authority but to divine authority.

From 1 Thessalonians 3:11-12: “Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for You.”

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