“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV Read full chapter
To affirm transgenderism or homosexual behavior is not love. Sin brings pain and heartache. It always does. That’s why God warns us against it.
Pastor David Jeremiah says, “This is the way sin works: it comes covered in an attractive veneer that hides its evil and hideous consequences.”
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth … ” Romans 1:18 See Romans 1:18-32.
The following video describes the painful experience of a 12-year-old girl who was encouraged to undergo trans surgery and immediately regretted it. If you know of a child who is considering doing this, watch this video.

1-minute devotion for 3/8/26
“Fight for your pastor by praying for him, acknowledging that “the person who is under more satanic attack than anyone else you know is your pastor. The person whose faith Satan wants to derail the most is your pastor. The person whose marriage Satan would most like to wreck, whose kids he most wants to cause to rebel, whom he most wants to discourage is your pastor. You need to fight in prayer for your pastor.”
Peter Orr, from his book, Fight For Your Pastor
In his letters to the churches, the apostle Paul repeatedly asked for prayer.

1-minute Devotion for Thursday, 3/5/26
As 1 Timothy 4:1 says, “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”
“This is the end result of diminishing the authority of Scripture and inserting human opinion or cultural sensitivities in its place. When we fail to stress the importance of the apostles’ doctrines as we fellowship, break bread, and pray together with new disciples, we will leave people vulnerable to the enemy’s efforts to insert his doctrines into their thinking.”

Quote of the Week for 3/4/26
“The last bastion of truth is and will be the remnant of God’s people who remain curious and dedicated truth seekers.” Jack Hibbs, from his book, LIVING IN THE DAZE OF DECEPTION
There is an onslaught of lies assaulting the world today. Many people believe the lies that promote the evils of abortion, transgender surgery, and more. Even the Church is under attack by false teachers disguised as sheep.
Jesus said, “He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44
Truth is under attack from the one who is the Father of lies.
The last bastion is the final stronghold that defends something that is under threat, acting as a final defense against overwhelming opposition.
Be a truth seeker!
In His Love, Cindy

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 3/3/26
I don’t know if “hang out” is the right term, but Jesus did visit the homes of sinners, and He enjoyed meals with them. So eating with sinners is right to do when our purpose is to share Christ. But there are other people that God says to avoid. I think we get that backwards sometimes by avoiding sinners and welcoming false teachers.
“While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Matthew 9:10-13
The Bible also says,
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
” … these teachers oppose the truth.” (v. 8)
Reflect on this: Are we hesitant to reach out to the lost, but happy to compromise with false teachers! Isn’t that the opposite of what we are told to do?
In His Love, Cindy

Devotion for Monday, 3/2/26
As I read the book of Acts, I noticed that Satan is using the same schemes today that he used against the Apostle Paul!
Do you want to know how Satan operates? Just look in your Bible. Satan uses the same tactics, schemes, and traps today that he used 2,000 years ago.
“What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
After a certain age, you realize this is true because you’ve lived long enough to observe it for yourself.
SATAN IS BEHIND MURDER
“Some Jews formed a conspiracy to murder Paul.” (See Acts 23:12-13)
Today, all over the world, antisemites want to murder Jews just because they are Jewish. Extremists wish to murder anyone who disagrees with their ideology.
SATAN IS THE ACCUSER
Paul is falsely accused of “being a troublemaker and stirring up riots” (Acts 24:5)
But it isn’t Paul who instigated the riots. Rather, it was his accusers. Rioters blame those they hate for the riots when it is the rioters themselves who are responsible.
SATAN IS A LIAR
“Other Jews joined in the accusations, asserting that these things were true.” Acts 24:9
They were all lying. We see this today. Lies, lies, lies! They accuse their “enemy” of what they do themselves. (e.g., they say Israel is guilty of genocide. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is the enemies of Israel who pursue genocide of the Jews.)
Jesus told Paul, “I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God…” Acts 26:17-18
Those who are evil and fight against the Truth are under the power of Satan, the father of lies.
In His Love, Cindy

1-Minute Devotion for Sunday, 3/1/26
In Paul’s last words to the Ephesian elders, he warned them,
“I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.” Acts 20:27-31
“Wherever the work of God is progressing, there will be those who oppose it or try to capitalize on it for personal gain. The responsibility of the godly leader is to speak truth regardless of the cost – a responsibility great leaders do not shy away from.” Jeremiah Study Bible Notes
