“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 NASB). Just because “the world through its wisdom did not come to know God” (1 Cor. 1:21b), does not mean it...
“Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence” (Psalm 140:13). Your “presence” in your spouse’s life is crucial for your relationship to be anything but a formality. Presence means you make available everything...
The Berean Lamp Memory Verse for this week is: “Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!” (Rev. 16:15) Two mantras that define our culture's wisdom today are that YOU, dear...

“Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent” (Acts 17:30 NASB). We often overlook the radical change that occurred in the open affairs of man through the delivery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ...
Our Memory Verse for this week comes from Isaiah 47, where God addresses Babylon in her delusion that "no one sees" the evil she commits. In our third Devotional on the topic of Delusion, we want to look at why "good" people do bad things. Clever people can do evil in the darkness...
“Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false” (2 Thessalonians 2:11 ESV). In this verse, God doesn’t say He will MAKE people believe a lie—He will ALLOW them to believe a lie, if they want to. We saw last time that it...
Our Memory Verse for this week comes from Paul's second letter to the Thessalonian Church, where he discusses the delusion God will send upon the world in the Last Days. As we saw last week, the first delusion in the Garden informs all other delusions since. We also saw that delusion is most...
“But if your eye is bad [evil], your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” (Matthew 6:23) Our eye is our focus (center of interest or activity). We fix our eyes on what we treasure. Jesus says, “where...
Our Memory Verse for this week comes from the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus is speaking about our focus, the light of our eyes, and what we treasure in life. What we focus on is what our eyes gaze towards - this is the treasure of our hearts. May we each pray that Jesus would be...
