Weekly Devotional

“But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity’” 2 Timothy 2:19. There’s an older hymn that speaks of this: “Jesus, You’re my firm foundation; I know I can stand secure; Jesus, You’re my firm foundation; I put my hope in Your Holy Word ….” Since the Word made flesh (John 1:14) is truth (John 14:6) and His Word is truth (John 17:17), these are aptly described as a ‘firm foundation’ or that which we can put our trust in fully. A newer song by Leanna Crawford highlights the struggles in this life and trusts in Jesus and His promise of eternal life. Whether fear or doubt or “here on the edge of fall apart,” she concludes, “This is the truth I’m standing on, Even when all my strength is gone, You are faithful forever, And You will never Let me fall. Right now, I’m choosing to believe, Someday soon, I’ll look back and see, All the pain had a purpose, Your plan was perfect all along. This is the truth I’m standing on.” There are many who claim to be Christians, while often living sinfully, but God “knows those who are his” and those who want to be His must leave sin to stand on truth.  

"In Search of the Lord's Way" January Programs

SEARCH PROGRAMS - January 2025

(Topics subject to change without notice)

JANUARY 5 – AUTHORITY - If Jesus is Lord, does that mean He has authority over my life? How does He
rule in my life and how do we know what He wants us to be and do? Does it matter
whether I serve the Lord Jesus?

JANUARY 12 – BACK TO THE BIBLE - Why should we go back to the Bible? Isn’t the Bible an ancient book, and
how can it have authority over my faith and life today? Does what the Bible have
to say matter? How do we go back to the Bible in the 21st century?

JANUARY 19 – ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD - One day, when your life is over, you must give account to God for how
you’ve lived, how you think, how you treat others, and how you talk. We must
realize we are accountable to God for how we live in the present.

JANUARY 26 – OBEDIENCE - What does it mean to obey the Lord, and does the Lord expect us to obey
Him strictly? Can I substitute what I like for what God commands? If I follow
religious leaders, have I followed God and obeyed His will?
