Daily Devotion: Unconventional Tactics

April 18, 2016

We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you. 2 Chronicles 20:12 In 1980, a woman hopped on a subway during the Boston Marathon. No big deal, except for one small detail. She was supposed to be running the marathon! Later, witnesses saw her jump into the race less than a mile from the finish line. She finished well ahead of all the other female runners, and oddly, she wasn’t winded or even sweating much. For a brief time she looked like the winner. In a conflict long ago, a people who were losing a battle found a more honorable way to win. When messengers told King Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom,” he was terrified (2 Chron. 20:2-3). But instead of turning to typical military tactics, Jehoshaphat turned to God. He acknowledged God’s supremacy and admitted his own fear and confusion. “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (v. 12). Then the king chose singers to lead the army into battle. Instead of a war cry, they...

Daily Devotion: Avoid Worldly Competition

April 19, 2016

Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another. —Galatians 5:26 According to the world's system, the best place to be is ahead of everyone else. Popular thinking would say that we should try to get to the top no matter who we have to hurt on the way up. But the Bible teaches us that there is no such thing as real peace until we are delivered from the need to compete with others. Even in what is supposed to be considered "fun games," we often see competition get so out of balance that people end up arguing and hating one another rather than simply relaxing and having a good time together. Naturally, human beings don't play games to lose; everyone is going to do his best. But when a person cannot enjoy a game unless he is winning, he definitely has a problem—possibly a deep-rooted one that is causing other problems in many areas of his li...

Daily Devotion: EASTER

March 27, 2016

Read Galatians 2:15-20 I was spiritually dead and didn’t know it. I grew up in a religious family and went to church every week. I attended church schools from grade school through college and thought I was living a good Christian life. While I loved working as a pastor of a large church, my heart was stone cold and legalistic. My relationship with my wife was cold and lifeless. I needed help. Ironically, help came in the form of losing my pastoral position. Over the next few years, God helped me to forge a new “resurrected” life of faith. In a sense, God rescued me by “killing” my old life of perfectionism and replacing it with a life of hope, restored relationship with my wife, and new ministry. Today I am truly that “new creation” that Paul writes about. (See 2 Cor. 5:17.) When Jesus was crucified, the disciples believed that all was lost; but when Jesus rose from the dead, everything changed. In a similar way, when life seems to be at its darkest point, we c...
