Jesus Daily






Jesus Daily: 365 Interactive Devotions by Aaron Tabor, MD

Every day we are bombarded by a list of things to do, one more activity to finish just before the deadline.  In the midst of all this running around, we often forget how significant time with our Savior is each day.  This new devotional called Jesus Daily by Aaron Tabor, MD, is a wealth of help to get us focused on the one who loves more than anyone, Jesus.  With Scripture, a short devotion, and an actions point, each is filled with wisdom, inspiration and a better way of seeing Jesus in everyday life.

The entry for today is all about saying yes to God even when we don’t have all the details.  Obedience is not always easy when we’re sure of the end result, but when we know a call is from God, obedience flows out of a heart of service.  Aaron writes, “Therefore, we when she heard him say something that didn’t quite make sense, she was ready to obey because she knew it was from God.”  Finding God’s voice from all the surrounding competing voices can be hard for the Christian, but we know where to turn to hear his voice and his will, for it is found in His Scripture through the aid of His Spirit. 
I really enjoyed as well the snippets at the end of each day that calls us to action.  One suggestion on 

July 29th was to remain offline in your personal time, praying for those suffering around the world.  This advice takes us out of our comfortable lives and puts us into contact with our Heavenly Father, praying for those who suffer for His name every day.  Another reason I thought these action points were good is that Aaron wasn’t seeking to overwhelm and overload us with checklists but offered simple points of grace that we can do to help others, nourish our spiritual lives, and help us see the world as God sees it.

If you are looking for a devotional to lift up your spirits, point you to Jesus, and call you to live differently, Jesus Daily will be a boon of goodness for you.

Journible The 17:18 Series: Acts

Journible The 17:18 Series: Acts The 17:18 Series: The Book of Acts by Joel R. Beeke and Rob Wynalda In Deuteronomy 17:18 Moses foretells of a future king coming to reign over Israel and copying the law himself rather than just acquiring a copy of the law.  The role of writing down or scripting the Word of God is of paramount importance for the growth of the believer.  With this truth in mind, Joel Beeke and Rob Wynalda have created Journibles.  This Journible on the Book of Acts is both a resource to copy the Scriptures yourself and engage in some questions about the text. On the right hand side of the Journible is blank lines with verse indicators for you to copy down the whole Book of Acts.  On the left side of the Journible are questions regarding context, theology, and details of the text for you to answer.  In other words, this Journible on Acts incorporates a place for you to write your own copy of Acts while engaging with the details of the te...

God's Grace for All of Life

The Romance of Grace by Jim McNeely III To be honest, when I received this book in the mail I had visions of what it might be like with a title like, ‘The Romance of Grace.’  The emotional rollercoaster and one-sided perspective on how our emotions fuel our faith was my presumption about the book, but this was the furthest thing from the truth as I started reading.  The Romance of Grace by Pastor Jim McNeely III is a careful look at the movements of grace in the way God pursues us with his love and his desire to get us to love him back.  McNeely writes, “We are entering a cosmic romance with a passionate lover, and He is interested in our heart’s truest desire.  His deepest objective isn’t to make us more moral; it is to get us to love Him back.  Virtue is the fruit, not the root” (18).  Why is this helpful?  For one thing, beginning with God’s initiating grace frees us from starting out on the wrong foot in the way we tell the story and...
