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

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.

The only way to be obedient…

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.

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…
Verse of the Day – John 10:10 KJV
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have lifee, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Daily Devotional – The Surrendered Life
The Surrendered Life from Utmost.org March 8, 2016 I have been crucified with Christ… —Galatians 2:20 To become one with Jesus Christ, a person must be willing not only to give up sin, but also to surrender his whole way of looking at things. Being born again by the Spirit of God means that we must first be willing to let go before we can grasp something else. The first thing we must surrender is all of our pretense or…

Daily Devotional – The Source of Abundant Joy
The Source of Abundant Joy – From Utmost.org March 7, 2016 In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. —Romans 8:37 Paul was speaking here of the things that might seem likely to separate a saint from the love of God. But the remarkable thing is that nothing can come between the love of God and a saint. The things Paul mentioned in this passage can and do disrupt the close fellowship of our…
