Salvation Is Always On God’s Heart

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Ezekiel 18:21 But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. O-bservation: Here the Prophet Ezekiel relates the words of the Almighty, letting the people in that day know that no matter what they had done salvation was still possible. A-pplication: We don't always think of the Old Testament as being a place of salvation for lost souls. Certainly we know that God considered the people of Israel His beloved...

Grace Talk With Salt Added

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Colossians 4:6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. O-bservation: The way a "Follower of Jesus" is to converse with others is in a graceful manner, with verbal salt added to the discussion so that it stays interesting and compelling.

Absolutely Not!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Romans 6:2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? O-bservation: In the previous verse St. Paul had asked the question, “Shall we keep on sinning so that grace may be even greater in our lives?” Then he said, "Absolutely Not!" A-pplication: Paul's argument still stands today. Jesus has saved us. Consequently, we have died to sin. If we have died to sin how can we live in it any longer? Now make sure you understand, he isn't saying we'll never make a mistake or...

How Low Can You Go?

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 136:23 He remembered us in our low estate His love endures forever. O-bservation: The Psalmist rejoices that no matter how low we mortals may go, our great God can meet us there. A-pplication: There's little value in serving a god who can't hear you, see you, or locate where you are. Furthermore, it's of little value serving a god who demands that we reach where he is before we can find a safe refuge. Thankfully that's not an issue for our God. Our God is forever knowing where we are, even in our lowest state....
