Daily Devotions

Today’s Scripture: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” Matthew 18:15, ESV  

Theme: Grievances can be difficult to handle with a clear head; keep it private and go directly to the offender. 

Today's Scripture: “Jesus stood up and said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’ She said, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.'" John 8:10-11, ESV  

Theme: Jesus was faced with a specific sin and a call for judgement, yet He also recognized a person made in the image of the Creator. Choose to rescue and redeem from sin rather than condemn and throw stones at a person.  

Today's Scripture: “A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.” Proverbs 16:28, ESV   

Theme: No matter what the judgment, don’t surrender to sin by gossiping about it.   

Today’s Scripture: “That night God came to Balaam and told him, ‘Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you to do.’” Numbers 22:20, NLT 

Theme: Ask God to instruct us when we feel a judgement is permissible and we need to do something about it. 

Today’s Scripture: “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.” Romans 14:1, NLT 

Theme: Don’t judge anyone if the matter is disputable (not clearly a sin).
