Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

December 5


2 Corinthians 1-4
Paul is dealing with grace in this second letter to the church at Corinth. He states that the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. This is in reference to law and commandments. Having spent my life in a church that has a legalistic history, I can really relate to these words. It has my very sad experience to witness the demise of several congregations due to legalism. On a more positive note, it has been my pleasure to be associated with several congregations that have moved away from the legal foundations, embracing the spirit of what has been written, and discovering the life God desires for those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose.
