Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 6:2–5. Godliness is not about acquiring money, a new car, or any other physical item. Some Christian leaders claim that our earthly possessions are a reflection of our faith—but that’s false! Would that teaching apply to the saints in third-world countries? No way. But the true teachings of the Bible are applicable everywhere. Let’s be alert for the truth and not worry so much about financial gain.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 6:3–5. Some Christians value their denomination or Bible translation more than they value people. But Jesus told us to love our neighbors and pray for our enemies. Christians are supposed to be known by love, not by the friction they cause. Let’s ask the Lord to soften our hearts.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 6:2–4. There are many different religions in the world, and different denominations in each one. It seems like every church has its own set of rules. But the heart of Christianity should simply be godliness. The purpose of a Bible-based ministry is devotion to Christ. We are called by God Almighty to be separate from this carnal world!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 6:2–4. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges to get into God’s Word every day. How else will we be able to identify false prophets? If we don’t know what the Bible says, then we won’t know when someone’s teachings go against it. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand His Word today.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 6:1–2. Whether we’re ministers, house cleaners, teachers, or company owners, all Christians are called to be honest workers. We must ask the Lord for help in all our tasks—we’re to do our best in everything for His glory! Remember this today: societal rank and status don’t matter. Being honest in our words and actions to reflect our loving heavenly Father is what counts.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 5:22–25. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges our intentions. Do we do things so that others will see and applaud? Or do we help and encourage others because that’s what God calls us to do? Some of our good deeds might only be recognized in heaven. But it will be worth it all when we see Jesus. Let’s serve Him today.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 5:22–23. Can Christians drink wine? Why does God heal some people but not others? These are questions many believers face, and Pastor Cymbala offers insight into both. If we are seeking the Lord’s will and wanting to please Him, He will bless us, one way or another. God will not curse His children. Let’s ask for His guidance and discretion today.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 5:22. Only God can make and keep us pure—clean from the corruption of this world. Our part is to heed His guidance by staying away from anything that harms our reputations and testimonies. Some people and organizations can claim to be Christian but really oppose the words of Jesus. Let’s ask the Lord to keep us clean, pure, and alert today.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 5:19–21. We all show favoritism—our religion, race, wealth, and social status can all influence how we interact with others. But Jesus ate with the poor. He fellowshipped with outcasts and embraced the sick. Do you think He prefers Black, white, Hispanic, or Asian people? No! Let’s be like Jesus and ask Him to help us stop the favoritism.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 5:19. Gossip is like those scam calls we all get—they’re phony. If there are no eyewitnesses to a tale we’re hearing about a brother or sister in the faith, we can’t take it as fact. We must ask the Lord for guidance and clarity and listen to witnesses before falling into a trap.
