Daily Devotional – Our Lord’s Surprise Visits

Our Lord’s Surprise Visits – From Utmost.org March 29, 2016  You also be ready… —Luke 12:40 A Christian worker’s greatest need is a readiness to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn. This is not easy, no matter what our experience has been. This battle is not against sin, difficulties, or circumstances, but against being so absorbed in our service to Jesus Christ that we are not ready to face Jesus Himself at every turn. The greatest need is…

Daily Devotional – Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding?

Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding? – From Utmost.org March 28, 2016 “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to Him, “…are You going there again?” —John 11:7-8  Just because I don’t understand what Jesus Christ says, I have no right to determine that He must be mistaken in what He says. That is a dangerous view, and it is never right to think that my obedience to God’s directive will bring dishonor to Jesus. The only thing that will…

Daily Devotional – Spiritual Vision Through Personal Purity

Spiritual Vision Through Personal Purity – From Utmost.org March 26, 2016 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. —Matthew 5:8   Purity is not innocence— it is much more than that. Purity is the result of continued spiritual harmony with God. We have to grow in purity. Our life with God may be right and our inner purity unblemished, yet occasionally our outer life may become spotted and stained. God intentionally does not protect us from this…

Verse of the Day – Romans 8:11 KJV

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Daily Devotional – Maintaining the Proper Relationship

Maintaining the Proper Relationship – From Utmost.org March 25, 2016  …the friend of the bridegroom… —John 3:29  Goodness and purity should never be traits that draw attention to themselves, but should simply be magnets that draw people to Jesus Christ. If my holiness is not drawing others to Him, it is not the right kind of holiness; it is only an influence which awakens undue emotions and evil desires in people and diverts them from heading in the right direction.…
