Watchman’s Daily Devotional: We Need This Regular Time of Fellowship With the Lord so That We Don’t Become Lukewarm. Won’t You Take a Moment Right Now to Open That Door and Spend Unhurried Time With Jesus?

/

Many folks love this quote. It is called when people are asked to make Jesus their Savior and Lord. But the situation is very different. Jesus was speaking to a church that had turned its back on permanent things in order to focus on temporary ones. In doing this, the followers’ connection to Jesus had been forgotten. They were actually spiritually dead and barren, but they thought everything was fine. Jesus compared water to temperature. Cold can make you feel better, and hot can make you feel better, but lukewarm doesn’t do either. The city that this church was in got its water from a hot spring. It was warm, but not hot, by the time it got to the city. This was an easy comparison for the church to understand. Jesus wanted to rekindle their friendship with Him and […]

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: God Gave Us All A Conscience. We Can Abuse It Or Stifle It, But It Still Tells Us That There Is Right And Wrong

/

God made us all with a mind. Not matter how we treat it, it still tells us what is right and wrong. Our school systems try to change it. Sometimes, our own pain is a reason to try to avoid dealing with it. Most of the time, our emotions are what try to shut it down. A young New Age woman worked with a friend of mine. She believed that all life was valuable, whether it was a dog or a person. What would she do if she saw a puppy and a baby being thrown into the Grand Canyon? If she could only save one, which would it be? She thought about it for a while. “I’m sorry to say it would be the puppy,” she finally said. If she really meant what she said, why was she sad

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: An Expert In The Mosaicl Laws Tested Jesus By Asking Him What One Must Do To Have Eternal Life. Jesus Put It Back On The Man By Asking Him What He Thought Was Necessary

/

A scholar of the Mosaic laws challenged Jesus with a question about the path to eternal life. Jesus turned the question back to the man, inviting him to reflect on what he believed was truly needed. The individual expressed that it is essential to love both God and your neighbor. With a nod of affirmation, Jesus encouraged him to proceed and fulfill his task. The man understood that the call to love one’s neighbor could be more challenging than it appeared, so he sought clarity on what “neighbor” truly meant. That could help focus our efforts, making it simpler to put the command into action. In a profound narrative, Jesus shared the tale of a man who fell victim to violence and theft. Two individuals of faith passed by, one following the other, each choosing to overlook the man in

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Our Faith Hinges On The Resurrection Of Jesus. There Are Many Religions That Claim To Be The Truth, But The Resurrection Of Jesus Is One Of The Main Events That Sets Christianity Apart

/

We base our faith on the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. There are many faiths that say they are true, but one thing that makes Christianity unique is that Jesus rose from the dead. One reason new authors who want us to think it was a hoax attack it so often is because of this. However, after two thousand years, none of those theories have passed the test of time. Read 5/5 to learn more about this.That problem can’t be solved by the gospel word if death is the end of life. How could we be sure that Jesus could raise us from the dead? How could we be sure that God accepted what He did? What kind of God would we be serving if believing in Jesus would only get us into trouble and not reward? Because

Watchman Daily Devotional: Jesus Warned the Sadducees They Didn’t Know Scripture or God’s Power, Reminds me of GOP Speaker Johnson

/

Matthew 22:30 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. The Israel of Jesus’ day had two main groupings. The Pharisees believed Moses, the prophets, and heaven. The Sadducees solely believed in Moses’ writings and not angels or an afterlife. Jesus believed like the Pharisees, therefore the Sadducees sought to trip Him up with their greatest argument. Whose wife would a lady be in the resurrection if her husband died and she married his brother, who died, and so on until all seven brothers had married her? Jesus warned the Sadducees they didn’t know Scripture or God’s power. Jesus said neither humans nor angels will marry in heaven. God can modify our bodies such that intercourse is no longer a function. The marriage connection symbolizes our relationship with God

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: The Issue Paul Was Addressing Was Pride. Nothing Has Changed in 2000 Years

/

Pride was what Paul was talking about. It’s been 2000 years and nothing has changed. Still, we believe that our teacher or church is the right one. We have that view because we think we know more and are smarter than people who don’t agree with us. Paul told the Christians in Corinth that how you act shows how spiritually mature you are. A fight doesn’t help you grow. Give to others without expecting anything in return because you love them so much. This will show growth in your life. The second question Paul asks in this verse is a key to being humble. What do you have that you didn’t get? God made us and gave us everything we have. All of our gifts from Him are our mind, body, food, and spiritual life. That takes away any reason

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Betrayed with a Kiss! That Was the Signal to the Soldiers Indicating Who to Arrest

/

Deceived by a gesture of affection! That was the indication for the soldiers, guiding them on whom to take into custody. It was a cherished practice to greet a dear friend with a gentle kiss. Judas likely greeted Jesus with a kiss on numerous occasions in the past. This moment felt uniquely profound. He guided a band of six hundred soldiers, accompanied by chief priests and elders, from the Beautiful Gate, through the Kidron Valley, and onward to Gethsemane (John 18:3). From His serene place in the olive grove, Jesus could have observed the entire procession illuminated by their flickering torches. The purpose of His coming was clear to Him. This is what He had lovingly cautioned the disciples about on several occasions. The embrace was ushered in by the heartfelt salutation, “Rabbi!” That signified “instructor.” Yet Judas had not

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: If God Is Repeating a Lesson in Your Life, It Is either Because You Didn’t Learn It the First Time or Because You Need That Lesson Reinforced

/

Jesus had been in places where non-Jews lived, maybe to avoid the large groups of Jews. While He was near Tyre, only the daughter of one woman was said to have been healed. Jesus had to take some time to teach His followers because He was almost done with His mission. He went back to Galilee by way of the Decapolis area. Greeks lived in the area for the most part. It looks like the man from whom the legions of devils were driven had told a lot of people about what Jesus had done for him (Mark 5:19). The crowd that gathered around Jesus was about 4,000 strong. Jesus had taught and healed people for three days. He informed His followers that many of them had traveled a long way, and He was worried that they would need to

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: The Jews Held That a Person’s Mouth May Be the Entryway for Evil. They Were Terrified to Eat From a Plate or Drink From a Container That a Gentile Had Touched

/

The belief among the Jews was that evil could find its way into a person through their mouth. They held a deep reverence, feeling apprehensive about consuming food from a plate or sipping from a vessel that had been handled by someone outside their community. Dishes acquired from someone from another land would be treated with utmost care, meticulously washed, or, if feasible, purified through the cleansing power of fire. They engaged in a sacred practice of cleansing their hands before partaking in their meal. They held the conviction that consuming non-kosher foods would render an individual impure. Though these practices are commendable for health and cleanliness, there exists a deeper source of evil. Jesus revealed that the source of sin lies deep within the heart of an individual. It was against the sacred teachings to consume non-kosher food (Leviticus

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Death Will Come To Us All. God Has Numbered Our Days. The Manner In Which We Die Is Not Indicative Of Our Degree Of Sinfulness

/

Luke 13:4-5 4 “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Some people told Jesus that Pilate mixed the blood of some Galileans with the blood of their offerings. People who told Jesus the news seemed to think that the Galileans were being punished for some of the bad things they had done. Jesus told them about people in Jerusalem who had died when a tower fell on them. Were they being judged because they were worse than everyone else in Jerusalem? Jesus made it very clear that this was not true. We will all die. Our days are timed by God. What we do
