Days of Heaven on EarthDevotional for May 7

 Days of Heaven on EarthDevotional for May 7 “I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you” (Galatians 4:19) It is a blessed moment when we are born again and a new heart is created in us after the image of God. It is a more blessed moment when in this new heart Christ Himself is born and the Christmas time is reproduced in us as we, in some real sense, become incarnations of the living Christ. This is the deepest and holiest meaning of Christianity. It is expressed in Paul’s prayer for the Galatians. “My little children, for whom I travail in birth again till Christ be formed in you.” There will yet be a more glorious era when we, like Him, shall be transformed and transfigured into His glory, and in the resurrection shall be, in spirit, soul and body, even as He. Let us live, under the power of the inspiring thought, incarnations of Christ; not living our life, but the Christ-life, and showing forth the excellencies, not of ourselves, but of Him who hath called us “out ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for May 7

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for May 7 “Let No Evil Remain ”  - Deuteronomy 13:17 Israel must conquer idolatrous cities and destroy all the spoil, regarding all that had been polluted by idolatry as an accursed thing to be burned with fire. Now, sin of all sorts must be treated by Christians in the same manner. We must not allow a single evil habit to remain. It is now war to the knife with sins of all sorts and sizes, whether of the body, the mind, or the spirit. We do not look upon this giving up of evil as deserving mercy, but we regard it as a fruit of the grace of God, which we would on no account miss.  When God causes us to have no mercy on our sins, then He has great mercy on us. When we are angry with evil, God is no more angry with us. When we multiply our efforts against iniquity, the LORD multiplies our blessings. The way of peace, of growth, of safety, of joy in Christ Jesus will be found by following out these words: "There sha...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for May 7

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for May 7 Tozer in the Morning Membership in the Universal Church Sometimes people come into the local church who have never come into the universal church. People join a church who have never been born into the true church. Some churches actually throw the doors open and say, "Now we'll sing the closing hymn for those who want to unite with the church. Come to the front." Al Capone could come in and join. Nobody asks any questions; they just take in anybody. I do not believe in that at all, and I know you do not either. I believe that if you are going to get into a local church, you should first be in the universal church, which Jesus purchased with His own blood. You should get into the church with rebirth, the Holy Spirit and regeneration. Then you should join a local assembly. It is impossible to receive Christ and reject His people. How do you find the Shepherd? Go where the sheep are! If you do not know where the Sheph...

Worthy Brief - May 7, 2026

 Worthy Brief - May 7, 2026 You are no longer outside the covenant!  Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.  There was a time when the nations stood outside the covenants of promise. Paul describes the Gentiles as “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel” and “strangers from the covenants of promise,” [Ephesians 2:11-13] without hope and without God in the world. The language is deeply covenantal. The Greek word translated “commonwealth” is politeĆ­a—the same root from which we derive words like “politics” and “citizenship.” It referred to the full legal standing, rights, ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 7th May 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 7th May 2026 May 7 Judges 17:6 6In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit. This is a sad commentary on that time. The judges were warrior rulers. Some of them had a heart after God, but others did not. The spiritual condition of the nation was at a low point. The Law was not enforced, and everyone did as he or she saw fit. Our world is not much different. In fact, that is the new teaching of our culture. "Whatever you think is right for you is the way you ought to go." We still have laws that came from our Judeo-Christian culture but we are slowly doing away with many of them, calling them antiquated. But this is a trend of our society because it is the trend of fallen man. He wants to do his own thing, be his own lord. He considers laws and restrictions unnecessary restraints if they keep him from his desires. So here is the heart check: Are you a part of this trend? Is your king the King of kings? This is what makes the di...
