Are we sharing with them how God works in our lives? Some are called to proclaim to large crowds, while others might share one-on-one on the subway. Wherever we are, let’s talk about Jesus.

Let’s dig deeper into the Bible and find new strength for the day.

Daily Devotional | Taste Your Words | 1 Timothy 4:3–5 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:3–5. Some religions have food restrictions. According to the New Testament, there are no holy or unholy foods. But following a command about what we put in our mouths is easier to do than following the one that says to watch what comes out of our mouths! Words are deadly weapons. Just like we taste our food, let’s chew on our words before letting them fly.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1–3. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us to watch out for rules and teachings that go against the Bible. For example, being unmarried or avoiding certain foods doesn’t make someone more or less of a Christian! We are not under the Old Testament law—we are called to follow the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let’s ask the Lord to reveal what is fake so that we can avoid it!

Daily Devotional | The Real Deal | 1 Timothy 4:1–2 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1–2. There’s an old saying that we’ve all probably heard before: “What would Jesus do?” If we change that saying and instead ask ourselves about things we see, “Would Jesus do that?” we will grow in discernment. The false teachings of the world are enticing and self-gratifying. Let’s ask the Spirit for guidance and follow what is really true.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us about false teachers. Some people today claim to have heard words from the Lord that are actually additional—and contrary—to the Bible. If they truly did, that means God left crucial information out of His book. Did He do that? No! We won’t find truth from politicians, money-grabbers, or psychics. The complete truth is in the Word of God. Let’s study it today.
