I’ll be taking a short hiatus for the next 3 weeks to do some study and preparation on the next Bible devotional that I’d like to share with you. Around mid-November, be on the lookout for the next post on this blog: a short study on the armor of God! Have a blessed day!

verse 14: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” When I was a young Christian, I admit that I was a little confused by the Trinity of God. God exists in 3 persons: God the Father, God the Son, [...]

verse 8: “For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.” Remember disagreements that you’ve had with your parents? Trying to change a parent’s mind on something can result in all sorts of tactics. They may range from pleading and begging to arguing outright to the “silent treatment” to threats of [...]

verse 4: “For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we shall live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.” Think on these statements: “He was crucified because of weakness”…Jesus took all the sins [...]

verse 14: “Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.” Paul here is reminding the Corinthians [...]

verse 11: “I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.” A nobody? We’re talking about Paul here, the greatest missionary the world has ever seen! Here is a man [...]

verse 10: “Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” You know, when I was younger, I was fairly fast (though not a speedster)…but today, my 14-year-old son can outrace me (don’t tell him that!) I [...]

verses 7-9: “And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me – to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart [...]

verse 30: “If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.” “We’re Number 1″! How many times have we seen or heard this chant on many a sports event broadcast? What always struck me funny was this: I expect to see it from those few teams and fans who, according [...]

verses 13-14: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” My oldest son’s high school that he attends has as their mascot, the Red Devils. Of course, when you see drawings of the mascot, it’s of [...]
