Daily Devotions

Today’s Scripture: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” Matthew 7:15-16, ESV 

Theme: Beware of charismatic, flashy Christians (including yourself) who don't live humble lives, filled with spiritual “fruit.” 

Today’s Scripture: “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matthew 7:13-14, ESV 

Theme: We need to avoid the “wide, easy gate” and instead enter the hard way, by the “narrow gate” that leads to life. 

Today's Scripture: "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." Matthew 6:24

Today’s Scripture: “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” Matthew 6:22-23, ESV 

Theme: If we have God’s perspective, we will take the right path. 

Today’s Scripture: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21
