Preparing for Resurrection Sunday: The Message and the Messenger

An interesting look at the depth of Christ's purpose and meaning in our world and in our lives. This 1-minute devotion will inspire you.

When Christ speaks, He's not merely reciting truth, He's the author of it. 


Even more, He's not merely the author, He's truth itself. 

He's not simply the greatest messenger of truth, He's the greatest message. 

From the beginning Christ has been God's Word:
In the whispers of the prophets
In the proclamations of His earthly ministry
In His passionate cries of pain and forgiveness from the cross
In the sweet music of the resurrection

God's message still whispers, proclaims, cries out, and sings to every soul today. And those of us who listen and believe must proclaim, cry out, and sing His message too. 

Today, I'm singing. Will you join me? 

"In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe" (Hebrews 1:1-2).

We Will Be Judged for Our Approval or Our Silence

Modern government has gone too far just as it did in past history. Lives are at stake. Christians must take a stand.

This is a subject that is heavy on the hearts of many Christians. I pray that this devotion will inspire you to speak up at this important time in history (See Proverbs 31:8 and Proverbs 24:11-12). Please read all of the notes. Thank you.

➤ First, I want you to imagine how evil human thinking became to justify slavery: 

1. Believing a slave owner’s well-being was more important than a slave’s well-being. 

2. Believing a slave owner could play God with a slave’s life. 

3. Believing a slave owner's income, convenience, stability, wants, needs, and desires were more important than a slave’s income, convenience, stability, wants, needs, and desires. 

4. Believing it was a good government that allowed slave owners to own human beings.

How did Americans ever fall for these lies? 

Modern government has gone too far just as it did in past history. Lives are at stake. Christians must take a stand.
➤ Now compare this evil thinking with the thinking that justifies abortion: 

1. Believing the mother’s well-being is more important than the baby’s. 

2. Believing the mother can play God with the baby’s life. 

3. Believing abortion is justified if it enhances the mother’s convenience, stability, income, wants, needs, and desires. 

4. Believing it's a good government that allows a mother to kill her baby.  

If we support abortion, we would have supported slavery. If we vote for proabortion candidates, we would have voted for proslavery candidates. God will judge us as he judged slave owners and proslavery advocates. Choose this day whom you will follow, dear Christians (Joshua 24:14-15).  

➤ Please make yourself aware of these popular proabortion arguments based on half-truths and outright lies:

Rape and incest
1% of abortions are due to rape and .05% are due to incest. Many authorities believe that adding abortion to these other abuses makes the healing process harder for the victims. I have great sympathy for women in these situations, but I don’t believe they should abort their babies. However, if you support abortion because of rape and incest, you should be strongly advocating against current abortion laws which allow women to kill their babies for any and every reason. 
 
Life of the mother
If you claim to support abortion because of actual threats to the health of the mother, you are simply repeating a proabortion lie. Proabortion advocates aren't stupid. They know that abortion to save the life of the mother has always been a part of abortion legislation in the U.S. And most of them know that modern medicine makes that choice virtually unnecessary. But the proabortion movement is highly skilled at propaganda. Please notice that they never focus on selfish reasons for abortion even though they comprise 98% of all abortions. Would it have been okay to own a slave so a person could get a better education, a better job, or have more leisure time? We'd all answer no to those questions, but what about these: Is it okay for a person to kill a baby so she can get a better education, a better job, or have more leisure time? Proabortion propaganda uses fake descriptions like "reproductive health" to disguise the selfish truth of abortion.
 
According to the Guttmacher Institute: "The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman's education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in ten women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents' or partners' desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents."

Modern government has gone too far just as it did in past history. Lives are at stake. Christians must take a stand.
Now please put this in proper perspective. Please look at all of those reasons and tell me which of those reasons is so serious that it should make slavery legal again? Which is so serious that a baby should give his or her life to alleviate it? None of these reasons are life-threatening, and many of them could be alleviated by adoption or by seeking help available from pro-life groups, churches, family members, or government programs.

⮚ And please never say, "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but..."
If you claim to be opposed to abortion, but you vote for proabortion candidates for other reasons, you are saying that babies should give their lives so you can benefit from social programs, taxes, welfare programs, etc. You are basically accepting a bribe to let babies die (Deuteronomy 16:19; Exodus 23:8; Proverbs 15:27). I find this argument the most disturbing one used by Christians. I addressed a "Christian" group that promoted this bribery during the last election: See From VeggieTales to Situational Ethics.

⮚ "It won't change things..."
If you claim that you don't vote pro-life because it won't actually change the laws, explain where in Scripture God tells us that we only need to do the right thing when it brings the desired results. You won't find it. 
 

Modern government has gone too far just as it did in past history. Lives are at stake. Christians must take a stand.

The Wrong Way and the Right Way to Determine Truth

There's a powerful influence on value formation, and Christians need to be aware and on  guard against it. This 1-minute devotion explains.

I used to live next door to a couple who wasn't married but living together. They were good neighbors. 


Once I was in an organization with a woman who was a Mormon. She was friendly and helpful.

I know atheists who are reasonable and generous.

Why am I telling you this?

Because none of these people made me change my beliefs about God's moral values, the danger of cults, or the truth about salvation in Christ. That's because genuine beliefs aren't based on human influence. They're based on knowing God and His Word.

Sadly, some churches change their views about divorce when a respected church member gets divorced without biblical reasons. 

Some people change their views about cohabitation and same-sex relationships when loved ones start living together or come out as gay. 

When a church or individual changes their views about moral commands in Scripture, they're choosing human relationships over their relationship with God.

But remnant Christians understand that God's commands always have been and always will be healthier and more loving than worldly philosophies.

So answer this question carefully: Do friends and family determine your moral values? Or do you trust the Word of our all-knowing, unchanging, loving God? See some of His words below.

💙💙💙

Some pertinent Scriptures

Galatians 1:10: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

Mark 8:38: “If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.”

1 Corinthians 15:58“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

Romans 12:2“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Pondering Christ's Love

Take some time today to ponder the insights in this 1-minute devotion. They'll give you a deeper love for Christ!

It’s easy to take the Lord for granted even when we love Him deeply. So today, let’s take some time to thoughtfully ponder these truths: 

No greater love 

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” ~ John 15:13 

Our Shepherd and our Savior 

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ~ John 10:11  

Our only hope for life, given before we even understood

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:6-8 

Laying down our lives 

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. ~ 1 John 3:16 

While there are times people have actually given their physical life for another person, most often laying down our life for others means sacrificing selfish plans for God’s purposes (Ephesians 2:10Philippians 2:3-4). 

Let’s ask God how can we show sacrificial love this week. 

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. ~ Ephesians 5:1-2 

Please set aside some time today to read these one-minute Bible Love Notes:

Dear Christians, Don't Fall for "Suicide-Propaganda"

Let's not allow people to make false claims against us because we believe God's Word.

Christians are being ridiculed for our beliefs.

Recently I've been hearing propaganda that Christians are responsible for LGBTQ depression and suicide—not because we are mistreating people but simply because we don't affirm their lifestyles. (See "Statistics" at the bottom.)

The world wants Christians to quit sharing God's loving warnings about the soul damage of LGBTQ lifestyles, as if our beliefs are dangerous to the well-being of others (Romans 1:16-32; John 15:18-21; Luke 6:22). 

That's propaganda. Differing viewpoints are part of culture and part of life. If disapproval causes suicide, Christians have more reason to complain than LGBTQ persons. 

🗸 No one is forcing LGBTQ businesses to hire Christians who disagree with their mission. 

🗸 Social media isn't hindering posts with LGBTQ viewpoints and protecting posts with Christian viewpoints.

🗸 Laws aren't being proposed that limit LGBTQ freedom of speech, and no one is trying to make it illegal for a counselor to promote LGBTQ lifestyles.*

🗸 The press isn't calling LGBTQ persons haters or Christianphobes

But these prejudicial things are being done to Christians.  

If LGBTQ persons are more depressed and suicidal than heterosexuals, it's because they're made in the image of God and in their heart of hearts they know that their lifestyle goes against God's loving design (Romans 1:20). 

I frequently hear Christian groups stressing kindness toward LGBTQ persons. But I can't say I've ever heard of LGBTQ groups stressing kindness toward Christians.

Blaming LGBTQ suicides on Christians is simply part of shame-game propaganda. Stand firm, dear Christians, and put your hope in God!

✜✜✜

* In some locations, it's illegal to biblically counsel someone struggling with LGBTQ urges even if that person wants that help. Appropriate biblical counseling is being compared to inappropriate methods of "conversion therapy," and pastors and Christian counselors are being prohibited from sharing biblical truths in these areas. 

For a thorough understanding of the biblical view of homosexuality, see these resources:

Biblical Teaching on Sexual Lifestyles (a collection of short devotions) 

What the Bible Teaches about Gender

Gay Revisionist Theology (a collection addressing various false teachings used by gay revisionists)

Questions, Not Answers (the testimony of a former lesbian)

Statistics: You can find studies that claim LGBTQ suicides are due to their feelings of rejection and studies that claim other causes. Even if every person left a suicide note stating the cause, we'd have trouble drawing conclusions since suicidal people are not thinking clearly when they kill themselves. Wyoming has the highest suicide rate in the U.S. and also the lowest LGBTQ population. We could create a number of contradictory theories about suicide based on Wyoming, but they would also be conjecture, not fact. As Christians, we know that our God is 100% true, good, and right, and He warns us that LGBTQ lifestyles damage people's souls. It seems both biblical and logical that such lifestyles would lead to a higher ratio of despair, depression, and suicide.

5 Steps for Accurate Bible Study

These 5 Steps prevent misunderstandings and misuse of Scripture. They're practical and fully explained.

When studying a passage of Scripture, it's important to: 

1. Identify the purpose of the book or passage. Some people call this the author's intent. The ultimate author of Scripture is the Holy Spirit, and He used human authors to write for specific purposes. For example, the author of Proverbs explains the purpose in Proverbs 1:1-6.(1) 

2. Identify the audience. You want to know if a command was given for everyone (Matthew 28:16-20) or only for a specific time or group (Matthew 10:5-6).(2)

3. Identify figurative language. The Bible uses poetic language, especially in the poetical books.(3) It shouldn't be taken literally. For example, see Psalm 98:8.(4)

4. Read in context. This gives you a fuller understanding of the passage and prevents misunderstandings. Words taken out of context can lose their true meaning.(5)

5. Study thoroughly. Find out everything the Bible says about a subject before drawing conclusions.(6)

Agape Probably Doesn't Mean What You've Been Taught in Bible Study

For many years, an error has been taught about the Greek word Agape.

It's important that we share our faith accurately, honestly, and biblically (2 Timothy 2:15). Sadly, there are some very popular misunderstandings about God's love.

I've written at length about the misleading use of the word “unconditional” when describing God's love (see links below). It has produced enormous misunderstandings.

Today I want to take a bit longer than my usual one-minute devotion to address another error that is often combined with “unconditional love” misunderstandings.

Why am I discussing these errors? Because there's nothing more important than sharing our faith accurately, and we need to be aware of how widespread some errors have become.

So let's look at the popular misunderstanding of the Greek word agape.

If you google “agape,” the majority of Christian sites will present it as God's perfect love, and many will claim that it also denotes unconditional love. 

John Piper summarizes the problem: 
“One of the most popular linguistic and exegetical fallacies in modern times is that the Greek word for love, agapao, carries in it the implication of a divine love that is unconditional and comes to us in spite of our sin. That is not true. Context must decide if agapao refers to our proud, cliquish love for our cronies (as in Matthew 5:46), or if it refers to God’s merciful and sacrificial love for sinners (as in John 3:16), or if it refers to our love for leaders, not unconditionally but precisely because of their labor (1 Thessalonians 5:13). ~ John Piper 

In English, the meaning of “love” is also defined by the context. We use the word love whether we're talking about loving pizza or loving God. 

If Christians are sharing God's love with good intentions, does it really matter if we pass along this error about the Greek word agape? I think it does. We don't need to misrepresent a Greek word to emphasize the beauty of God's love. 

We should “always be prepared” to explain our faith to others (1 Peter 3:15), and we should seek to do it honestly and accurately (2 Timothy 2:15). If we are going to emphasize a point by explaining the meaning of the original Greek word, let's do our homework. Our faith is worth more than sloppy scholarship. 

When we teach errors, we can lose our credibility, especially when sharing the gospel with unbelievers. So let's be like the noble Bereans and make sure Scripture supports the things we're taught (Acts 17:11). 

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

God's love is incredible (Ephesians 3:17-19)We don't need to redefine Greek words to prove that. 

💙💙💙💙💙

Read 7 Truths about God's Love to see some of the wonderful things Scripture teaches about God's love. 

To better understand the error of describing God's love as unconditional, see God's Love Is Better than Unconditional. And I also encourage you to read Is Unconditional the Best Description of God's Love? because it answers some common questions. You also might want to watch this six-minute video with R. C. Sproul and John McArthur: God's Love Is Not Unconditional.

Additional Resources about Agape

See the Greek explanation of agape HERE
💙
Thomas Nelson’s Bible Dictionary:
AGAPE [ah GAH pay] — a Greek word for love used often in the New Testament (John 13:35; 1 Cor. 13; 1 John 4:7–18). Contrary to popular understanding, the significance of agape is not that it is an unconditional love, but that it is primarily a love of the will rather than the emotions. The New Testament never speaks of God loving unbelieving human beings with emotional love or a love that expects something in return. But He loves with His will (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8). The reason for this is that God can find nothing enjoyable about a sinner on whom His wrath still abides. So He loves by His will; it is His nature to love. [underlining is mine] *
 💙
The word agape did not originate in New Testament writings. To believe that agape means God's perfect love would mean the pagan Greeks developed the best description of God's love.
💙
“Both agape and phileo can be used as synonyms, and it is the usage in the context of conversation or narration that tells us the degree of love or the object of love in focus.” ~ Let's Stop Overinterpreting Agape
💙
“In John 3:35, Jesus says, 'The Father loves the Son,' and in John 5:20 he says precisely the same thing—only in one verse he uses agapao and in the other phileo, with no discernible difference in meaning.
💙
“In Matthew 24:12, agape is described as growing cold. Yet if it is a Godly love, how can it change? … Agape was used throughout other Greek literature of the time and when the New Testament was written, it had become the standard word for love in the Greek culture. We should therefore expect it to be the standard word for love in the New Testament.”  ~ Is “Agape” a special kind of love? 

Agape is used to speak of God’s love that He has for the world and that Christians are supposed to emulate. This is the word for 'love' that is most commonly used in the New Testament. For a while it was thought that Christians must have coined the word agape to speak of a godly kind of love that the Greek world knew nothing of. But the word agape was in fact in use in the Roman Empire, and it was not coined by Christians to communicate God’s love.” ~ Got Questions

When a Stingy Poor Man Becomes Rich

When a man is poor and stingy, what does he become when he gets rich? This 1-minute devotion explores what Scripture teaches about generosity.

"If a man is stingy when he is poor, he will be stingy when he is rich.” ~ Unknown

Generosity has more to do with our hearts than our pocketbooks. And generosity doesn't simply apply to money. It applies to time, effort, and consideration.

We can be generous or stingy with our time and effort when caring for family members, listening to friends, or showing appreciation to co-workers. We can be generous or stingy with God's grace by forgiving or holding grudges, by seeking restoration or setting up boundaries.

In Luke 21 a poor widow put two copper coins in the temple treasury, and Jesus said, “I tell you the truth…this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them” (21:1-4).

Her gift was not the largest, but it was the most generous. And she gave it willingly and humbly to the Lord.

When we give generously in any area of our lives, God notices. It’s like making a deposit in our eternal bank account (1 Timothy 6:17-19).

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19-20).  

Is there an area where you need to give more generously of your time, money, effort, or grace?

Some Insights on Tents and Eternity

Did you know that Scripture says all Christians are living in "tents"? This 1-minute devotion explains.

My grandma was born in 1909 in the tent where her family lived in the small town of Swink, Colorado. 

I can’t imagine how difficult it was for my great-grandparents managing their growing family, cooking on a campfire, being at the mercy of the Colorado weather, and being without running water. 

I’ve camped in a tent but never lived in one.

No, that’s not true. 

In 2 Corinthians 5:1-5, Paul explains that our present bodies are temporary “tents” where we live until our heavenly home is built. 

We can find joy in our earthly tents. But, as Paul explains, we also “grow weary…we groan and sigh” as our tent ages and we deal with winds of adversity and storms of persecution. We have access to streams of living water (John 7:38) and God is our shield (Proverbs 30:5), but tent life still isn't easy.

God has important things for us to do here and now, but let’s never forget this promise we have as believers: one day, we will reside in our heavenly home, seeing our Savior face-to-face (1 Corinthians 13:12). Our “dying bodies will be swallowed up by life” (2 Corinthians 5:4).

Ponder that truth today: if Christ is your Savior, you are headed for life, not death.

💙💙💙

For more inspiration on this subject, see Not Home Yet. I also wrote about the challenges of this tent life on my birthday in 2023: It is the Best of Times; It is the Worst of Times

2 Corinthians 5:1-5: “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”

Why Modesty Is Getting a Bad Rap

This 1-minute devotion talks about the spirit behind negative attitudes toward modesty.

Just as Satan told Eve that God had no right to tell her not to eat the forbidden fruit, Satan is telling modern women that God has no right to tell them to dress modestly. 

On the BLN Facebook page, I posted a devotion from my archive 
called "How the Yoga Pants Debate Revealed Problems in Our Christianity." It encourages us to be kind and gracious when we discuss differing views about modesty.

Sadly, the comment stream included a good number of comments claiming that modesty was a sexist concept meant to blame women for male lust, rape, and sexual abuse.

It was clear that most of those leaving these comments hadn't actually read the devotion (Proverbs 18:13). But it also revealed a growing trend in our culture to misrepresent modesty as making women responsible for male lust.

Not true.

When we tell our daughter to look both ways before crossing the street, we aren't trying to blame her for drunk drivers. We're seeking to protect her.

When we refuse to put a glass of wine in front of our alcoholic friend, we aren't taking responsibility for his alcoholism. We're refusing to tempt him (Luke 17:1-3).

We are sexual beings, designed by God, and our designer knows what's best for us. Modesty protects us, prevents us from tempting others, and also helps us accurately represent our faith.

If you think modesty is sexist, please renew your mind in God's Word and refuse cultural conformity (Romans 12:2).
