- 1 Corinthians 10:11
It’s easy for Christians to focus solely on reading the New Testament, thinking the Old Testament “was for Israel.” But the apostle Paul discounted that notion when he wrote that, “All Scripture . . . is profitable” (2 Timothy 3:16). And remember: He was referring to the Old Testament since the New Testament was only coming into existence in his day.... Click here to read the rest of this devotional

Homemade Blowtorches---Daily Devotional
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
- Proverbs 12:16 NIV
A newspaper reported recently that a man got into a tiff with his father in Tampa and tried to set him on fire with a makeshift blowtorch using a can of bug spray and a lighter. The attempt failed, and the son was arrested; but the story reminds us there's no end to ways people get upset at others. We're surrounded by angry arguments, hurt feelings, bitter feuds, broken relationships, and offended pride.
But the Bible counsels maturity. Reading through Proverbs reminds us that a wise person isn't easily angered, doesn't spread gossip, and refrains from harsh words. Someone said that a mature Christian has the heart of a child, the mind of a scholar, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
Jesus Christ has borne all our sins; He has put up with us and forgiven our offenses by His own blood. If He's patient with us, we should bear patiently with others. There's no need to go around all fired up, blasting others with homemade blowtorches. A fool displays annoyance at once, but a prudent person overlooks an insult.
May the Lord give us this holy deafness....

Why God Is Worthy
Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!
- Revelation 15:3
Our English word “worship” is derived from the Old English weorthscipe, or “worthship.” It was a word that meant “worthiness” or an “acknowledgement of worth.” People today have ascribed worth to all sorts of things and people, thereby worshipping them: gold, wealth, appearance, position, and talent—among other things. But throughout Scripture, God is worshipped for two reasons: His perfection (who He is) and His ways (what He has done).
It’s possible for the term “worship” to be loosely applied in Christian circles. There is a need to keep worship focused on the object of the Christian’s love: the triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit. Whenever the apostle John caught a glimpse of worship in heaven, the songs were always about who God is and what He has done. For instance, in Revelation 15:3-4, God is called “Lord God Almighty,” “King,” and “holy.” He is praised for his “works,” “ways,” and “judgments.” It is clear from these words that God is worthy to be praised.
In your personal worship this week, remember to praise God for who He is and what He has done in your life—a simple outline for ascribing worthiness to Him.
What or whom we worship determines our behavior.
