Growing in Love and Discernment

“And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment10 so that you may [a]discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ; Philippians 1:9-10 NASB Read full chapter

Footnotes

[a] Philippians 1:10 Or approve the things that matter

Comments: Even though Paul is writing this letter from prison, his concern for his beloved church in Philippi is that they would grow in love and discernment.

Walking in Truth

Verses for Meditation for 5/29/25

“It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 3-4 NIV

Comments: The Apostle John emphasized the importance of walking in the truth. In his Gospel and three epistles, he mentions truth 69 times. If we walk in the truth, the time always comes when we will have to defend it from those who would distort it.

Quote of the Week, 5/28/25

Spiritual discernment is good for more than just making monumental decisions according to God’s will. It is an essential, day-to-day activity that allows thoughtful Christians to separate the truth of God from error and to distinguish right from wrong in all kinds of settings and situations. It is also a skill – something that any person can develop and improve…”

Honoring Sacrifice: What Jesus Teaches Us

1-minute read for Monday, 5/26/25

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13

I watched a WW II movie yesterday about the battle of Guadalcanal. Many soldiers died in the attempt to take a hill. Many went forward knowing they had a slim chance of making it alive, but they went anyway. The movie showed the terror of the brave men who gave their lives for our country and our freedom.

On the way to church this morning, I saw a sign that said this:

All gave some. Some gave all.

May we honor our troops and veterans today in appreciation for their willingness to serve our country.

In His Love, Cindy

Following Christ’s Example

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 5/25/25

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:21 Read full chapter

What does it mean to follow in his steps? Someone could write a book on that! And someone did. First published in 1896, the book In His Steps, by Pastor Charles Sheldon, has sold more than 50 million copies and ranks as one of the bestselling books of all time. His book popularized the saying “What Would Jesus Do?”.

I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.”
