The Importance of Truth

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 11/7/25

“But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.  For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24 NLT Read full chapter

My thoughts: Have you ever noticed how often the Bible emphasizes the importance of truth? (In case you’re wondering, it’s over 380 times depending on the translation!)

In His Love, Cindy

Let Us Proclaim the Greatest News

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for 11/5/25

“God gives every Christian the privilege and awesome responsibility of glorifying Him by proclaiming the greatest news anyone will ever hear about the greatest gift anyone could ever receive.” Mike Gendron, Pastor 

THE GREATEST NEWS:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16-17

THE GREATEST GIFT:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB

Anticipating Christ’s Return

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 10/28/25

“Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.  They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4 Read full chapter

“Certainly many believers in the first century – Peter included – expected that Christ would return during their lifetimes. But now the scoffers were making light of this ‘coming’ he promised, causing God’s people to doubt whether Jesus’ promise was true.” (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Even today, scoffers still scoff. Don’t let them stop you from earnestly looking for His coming with anticipation and joy!

To Be Approved by God

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 10/24/25

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NASB)

The Greek word translated be diligent is spoudazo. It means to be diligent, eager, earnest, or to exert oneself with haste and zeal to accomplish something. It encapsulates the idea of giving one’s best effort, not just working hard but doing so with a focused intention, often driven by a desire or need. 

What is it we are trying to accomplish? It is to accurately handle the word of truth and so be approved by God. And what if we don’t? Someday we will stand before God and be ashamed.

In His Love, Cindy

How Can We Become the Mature Body of Christ?

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for 10/15/25

“Open war is upon us and has been for a number of years. But we possess a power that no other in the world can rival. … We have the objective source of truth. We have a North Star that pulls us back when we wander too far afield, that ensures that we fight the right battles in the right way. We have the Word that is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. (Hebrews 4:12) The time has come to pick up that sword and unashamedly use it against the cunning and craftiness of people who would see us blown here and there by every wind of teaching, and to pursue what our Lord calls us to in Ephesians 4:15-16.

 “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

Megan Basham, from her excellent book, SHEPHERDS FOR SALE

United in Truth

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 10/10/25

“ I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Read full chapter

“What Paul is urging is that we find the truth of scripture and stand in that truth together.” Carolyn Dawson Unity Matters

My thoughts: We don’t have unity in the body of Christ because we are accepting and tolerate false teaching. We will have unity only when “we find the truth of scripture and stand in that truth together.” Amen!

Christian Love: Warning, Not Affirming Error

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for 10/8/25

“Scripture calls us to both judge rightly (John 7:24) and to restore gently (Galatians 6:1). If someone were walking toward danger, love would warn them...True Christian love does not affirm error—it seeks truth.”

Bruce Cooper, from his post Grace, Truth, and the One Gospel: Disagreeing without Disrespecting.

Quote of the Week for 10/1/25

“Every time that good is called evil and evil called good, truth is a casualty. And as we draw closer to Christ’s return, the downward spiral will accelerate.”

Steve Miller, FORESHADOWS, 12 Megaclues That Jesus’ Return Is Nearer Than Ever

“Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness” Isaiah 5:20

Steve Miller’s book, Foreshadows, is excellent and I highly recommend it.

How to Get Strength for Spiritual Warfare

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 9/26/25

“ A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:10-17 NLT

Remember this: In spiritual warfare, victory for the Christian starts with TRUTH. Satan fights truth every way he can. He hates truth because he can’t stand against it!

In His Love, Cindy
