Leave Something

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Leviticus 19:10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God. O-bservation: Here the Lord was instructing the people of Israel to be generous.

The 4 GOODS

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 112:5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.

It was "John the Beloved" who revealed that the woman was Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

Tithing And Even More

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: Leviticus 27:30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. O-bservation: Here once again Moses promotes the Old Testament law of tithing for the Jewish people. He tells the people that a tenth or a tithe of everything belongs to the Lord. Not only that but the tithe is holy to the Lord. A-pplication: I hear "Followers of Jesus" often debate the issue of tithing. Some say that it's strictly an Old Testament law and we're New...

You Can’t Hide GENEROSITY

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: 1 Timothy 5:25 In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever. O-bservation: As has been said here before, good deeds are seeds for the fruit of goodness to be revealed in bigger measure. You cannot hide goodness. According to the apostle Paul, you can try to hide it but it will not be hidden for long, and certainly not forever. A-pplication: Good deeds are an act of generosity. A good deed is something that is given by someone from his or her personal banks of...
