Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Cymbala

We must fill ourselves with God’s Word to grow in faith, wisdom, and peace.

The Bible itself cannot rescue us—true salvation comes from Jesus alone. The entire purpose of Scripture is to point us directly to Him.

If Christ is truly in us, our lives should reflect a relentless pursuit of a deeper relationship with Him anchored entirely in the Word of God.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing deny that Christians will be persecuted—and the terrifying truth is, they have lied so much that they now believe their own deception.

Anyone who stands for Christ will ultimately be persecuted, but when things get hard and pushback comes, we must not get rattled.

When suffering for Christ comes, our greatest weapon is the endurance given by the Holy Spirit to help us keep serving, praying, reading the Word, and witnessing.

When we surrender our own efforts and ask God to change us from the inside out, He faithfully fills us with the very character qualities of Jesus.

Are you still in search of your purpose when God’s Word calls us to a purpose of spreading the Gospel?

Signs and wonders don’t prove good doctrine, which is why we must stay full of the Word and pray for the discernment to recognize a counterfeit before false teaching pulls us away from the faith.
 

When the noise of the world threatens to wash out the truth of Jesus, we must seek God for the discernment to see clearly.
