Devotion for December 13
But grace would not be grace if it freed us from sin’s guilt and sent us into sin’s harm.

We lead for Christ most clearly and most effectively when we follow Christ in the selflessness he modeled for us.
I’d like to put in a good word for religion — if not three cheers, then at least two.
Our fearlessness shows confidences in God’s eternal care to people across town and across generations.
We are precious to God regardless of our performance. That’s why we desire to serve him with devotion that is deaf to any other evaluation.
“My desire is to see MNA become a first stop when our ministry practitioners think about pursuing opportunities for mission and outreach in their contexts and communities.”
Even a small glimpse into God’s amazing care for his creation, is to marvel at the hand that created us and carries us through his intricate design for our lives.
We respond in faith by recognizing that nothing surprises God. God saw it all coming, and he did not give up on our world or on us.
God disciplines when he must, but never without the goal of reaching the heart and redeeming the person.
That’s because submitting one’s desires and talents to the good of another does not require abandoning gifts but applying them selflessly for God’s purposes.
