Devotion on Lent, God's Love, Relationship with God, 1 John 4:10. 1 page.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10 NIV).

Last month, the stores were filled with red and pink. … But now it’s March, and where have all the valentines gone? The sugar rush has long since faded, and even some relationships of February may not have lasted longer than the beautiful bouquets. For a holiday that boasts so much about love, it often falls short. Perhaps that is because the type of love we too often focus on is actually not love at all. What, then, is love?

But the fruit of the Spirit is … joy (Galatians 5:22). 

The list of things we think will bring us joy is endless. But the time, energy, and money spent on the pursuit of happiness are wasted because the material things we want today are not a source of everlasting joy.

Devotion on Sharing the Gospel, Missions, Joy in the Journey, Psalm 118:24. 1 page.

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24).

The first Bible to be translated into an indigenous language in Australia was the Kriol Bible. Their dedication ceremony was in May 2007. Cameron Townsend, founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators, first thought of going to Australia to translate the Bible into indigenous languages back in the 1940s. What better cause for celebration than to read the printed Bible in one’s heart language for the first time – to think, “God speaks my language.”
