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.

Saving Casper

Saving Casper: A Christian and an Atheist Talk about Why We Need to Change the Conversion Conversation by Jim Henderson and Matt Casper http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Casper-Christian-Conversion-Conversation/dp/1414364881 Many readers will quickly know the authors of this book from their previous release Jim and Casper Go to Church.  Jim and Matt’s new book entitled Saving Casper focuses on the way we talk about conversion in the church and the devastating ways we have pushed away atheists and other non-believers by our posture.  Both Jim and Matt traversed the national landscape, meeting in churches and asking hard questions about faith, conversion, and life. The basic premise of the book and travel is laid out here in their words, “Part of what Casper and I are trying to achieve when we speak to a group of Christians is to help people move a little bit on their “judgment meter.”  This capacity, while intellectually and often theologically uncomfortable,...

Essential Christian Doctrine

  Essential Christian Doctrine , General Editor John MacArthur Pastor John MacArthur has for years been teaching the Word of God in both pulpit ministry, books, and conferences with an aim to displaying God’s revelation to his listeners in a winsome and foundational manner.  This new book, Essential Christian Doctrine takes an entire life of teaching and preaching and encapsulates the main contours of the Christian faith for its readers.  John in a systematic way highlights the most necessary teachings from Scripture including God’s Word, the Trinity, while also including sections on Man and the Future. One of the most helpful ways the authors bring to light biblical truth and theology is the way in which they group together particular themes.  In the section on the Holy Spirit, instead of a complex discussion of personhood, word pictures of the Holy Spirit are introduced in a discernible and profitable manner.  The metaphors for the Holy Spirit include fir...

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...
