April 22 - Philippians 4:4-8 Virus Devotional

APRIL 24 – PHILIPPIANS 4: 4-8

REJOICE IN THE LORD

If anybody had an excuse for worrying, it was the Apostle Paul. His beloved Christian friends at Philippi were disagreeing with one another, and he was not there to help them. We have no idea what Euodia and Syntyche were disputing about, but whatever it was, it was bringing division into the church. Paul does not write, “Pray about it!” He is too…

APRIL 23 – PSALM 19

GOD’S LAW IS PERFECT

Today, we continue our series by focusing on God. Psalm 19 is a classic psalm about the beauty, majesty, glory, and perfection of the Lord. There is so much information about God in this psalm. The psalmist gives us a great model of how we can praise God and remember who He is and what He has done. It shows us that the Bible and Christianity is not just a…

THE MEANING OF “INTERPRETATION” IN 2 PETER 1:20

new #blog: THE MEANING OF “INTERPRETATION” IN 2 PETER 1:20 #bgbg2 #inspirationofscripture #biblestudy #biblereading #christianity #trustinJesus https://seekingourgod.com/the-meaning-of-interpretation-in-2-peter-120/

This post focuses whether 2 Peter 1:20 refers to the origination of prophecy or to its interpretation. This was a short two–page paper addressing this issue. Much more could be said on this topic, but this is just an introduction to the issue. Both sides have very valid arguments but this is my viewpoint on the matter

    Second Peter 1:20, along with 2 Timothy 3:14-17, are two important passages…

APRIL 20 – PHILIPPIANS 2:12-15

LIGHTS IN THE WORLD

Continuing our reading plan, we stay in Philippians 2 by looking at verses 12-15. In this section today, Paul returns to the exhortations which he began earlier in verses 2-4. Verses 14-15 (and 16) give specific instructions on how to work out God’s “good purpose” (v. 13) concerning daily Christian living. Paul had shown them in 1:27-2:13 the…

APRIL 17 – PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11

“HUMILITY THAT SAVES”

Today, we focus on the attitude of Christ. We look at how Christ modeled everything right and good and how he set a perfect example for us to follow. Paul describes the power of Christ as well as how we, as believers, are to be united as the body of Christ. this section shows the power of attitude and how we are to examine ourselves and our…

PSALM 9:9-10 GOD IS OUR STRONGHOLD

Today’s devotional is a quick reminder about who God is, especially during times of trouble. We are attacked often during these trials to trust ourselves, others, or other means, but this psalm speaks to the value of trusting God.

9 The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; 10 And those who know Your…

PHILIPPIANS 1:21, 27-30 LIVING ON MISSION

Today, we finish Philippians 1 by looking at Paul’s command to live on a mission with a heavenly perspective, standing in faith, and being united as Christians and united in purpose to glorify Christ and share the gospel.

THE PEOPLE AND OFFENCE OF HEBREWS 6:4-6

THE PEOPLE AND OFFENCE OF HEBREWS 6:4-6 https://seekingourgod.wordpress.com/2020/04/15/the-people-and-offence-of-hebrews-64-6 #bgbg2 #hebrewsbiblestudy #christianity #biblereading #biblestudy #bibleexposition

Expositional paper on “THE PEOPLE AND OFFENCE OF HEBREWS 6:4-6”

Hebrews was written to encourage the believers to mature (Heb 5:12-14; 10:24) and to warn readers about the dangers of disowning Christ and thereby reverting back to their old ways (Heb 3:12-14; 6:8-9; 13:13). The warning passages seem to indicate Hebrews was written to professing Christians, but not all may be elect or have failed…

April 14, 2020 – The Majesty of God:

Today, we turn our attention to the Majesty of God. We focus on the only God there is and whose handiwork is all around us. Today, we look at Psalm 8 and look to follow the example of David by acknowledging God:

1 O Lord, our Lord,     how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2     Out of the mouth of babies and…

April 13, 2020 – PHILIPPIANS 1:15-18

“His Kingdom”

Today, we continue our “Unshakeable” reading plan by looking again at Philippians 1. This time we look at verses 15-18. The passage reads:

15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17The former proclaim Christ out of…
