Do not fear.
March 6, 2014. “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1) There is a song called “Do not fear” based largely on this text in Isaiah 43. It…
Faith amidst abandonment.
March 5, 2014. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? (Psalm 13:1-2) Have you ever felt abandoned by the Lord? Don’t…
Entering into God’s presence.
March 4, 2014. “I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” Our feet have been standingwithin your gates, O Jerusalem!” (Psalm 122:1-2) There was a time in my life, albeit I didn’t realize this at the time, when going to church was an obligation. For me…
Approaching the word of God.
March 3, 2014. How do you read the word of God? Is it taken at face value? Do you not read it and just let others tell you what it says? Do you read a verse that seems to say something clearly, and then let a “scholar” dissuade you from believing it? What is your…
The Lord and his call.
March 2, 2014. “There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6) All praise to the Father, who is of…
Teaching the taught.
February 28, 2014. Today I am interviewing for a position in the Quantitative and Chemical Biology program for a Ph. D. at Vanderbilt. So far I believe it is going pretty well. What I have noticed, dawning on me at lunch, is how different of an environment it is from the student center. Don’t get…
Messianic prophecy.
February 27, 2014. Tonight during small group we are going to be discussing Messianic prophecy and its use as a apologetic tool for the Christian faith. What is interesting to me is why we don’t use this tool more often. It is clear from the New Testament scriptures (particularly the book of Acts) that this…
The family of God.
February 26, 2014. I have set up a twitter account if you would like to receive notifications when I post. It would make me so happy if you followed me! @dailydevotion14. Also, if there is anything you would like me to discuss or any other way you would like to see me get media out,…
Seemingly new revelations.
February 25, 2014. I cannot tell you how many times I have read through the opening chapter of Acts. Probably between 50-100, though that is purely a guess with no statistical backing. However, I was having a bible study with a friend today, and when we read through the first five verses, two different ideas…
Pressing on.
February 24, 2014. I apologize that this is so late in the day. I had a busy day with a lot of driving, so I am just now getting the chance to sit down and write. I have made a commitment, and I plan to stick with it. For this reason have I chosen today’s…
No balm in Gilead.
February 22, 2014. Today I am attending Challenge Youth Conference as a recruiter for the CSC on UTC‘s campus. I was able to sit in on part of a lesson given this morning where the speaker was going over a section in Jeremiah. I liked this section so much, I decided to do today’s post…
