Daily Devotional – Yielding
Yielding from Utmost.org March 14, 2016 …you are that one’s slaves whom you obey… —Romans 6:16 The first thing I must be willing to admit when I begin to examine what controls and dominates me is that I am the one responsible for having yielded myself to whatever it may be. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame because somewhere in the past I yielded to myself. Likewise, if I obey God I do so because…

Inquiring Minds Want to Know
The process of starting the website transfer began on Thursday. We are currently awaiting For Wix to release the domain name. By law they have up to seven days to do this. Since they have no monetary reason to do this quickly, it may take a couple of more days. The HighlandParkBC.com website will continue to function throughout this process. Thank You
Daily Devotional – Total Surrender
Total Surrender – from Utmost.org March 12, 2016 Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” —Mark 10:28 Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is “for My sake and the gospel’s” (10:29). It was not for the purpose of what the disciples themselves would get out of it. Beware of surrender that is motivated by personal benefits that may result. For example, “I’m going to give myself…
Verse of the Day – Hebrews 7:25 KJV
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Daily Devotional – Obedience to the “Heavenly Vision”
Obedience to the “Heavenly Vision” – From Utmost.org March 11, 2016 I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. —Acts 26:19 If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient…
Verse of the Day – Psalms 130:5 KJV
I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in word do I hope.

Daily Devotional – Being an Example of His Message
Being an Example of His Message – From Utmost.org March 10, 2016 Preach the word! —2 Timothy 4:2 We are not saved only to be instruments for God, but to be His sons and daughters. He does not turn us into spiritual agents but into spiritual messengers, and the message must be a part of us. The Son of God was His own message— “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). As…
Verse of the Day – Ephesians 1:7 KJV
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Daily Devotional – Turning Back or Walking with Jesus?
Turning Back or Walking with Jesus? – From Utmost.org March 9, 2016 Do you also want to go away? —John 6:67 What a penetrating question! Our Lord’s words often hit home for us when He speaks in the simplest way. In spite of the fact that we know who Jesus is, He asks, “Do you also want to go away?” We must continually maintain an adventurous attitude toward Him, despite any potential personal risk. “From that time many of His…
