Daily Devotional
Are you sitting on the lukewarm fence?
October 29, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. Philippians 1:20
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
May God help us today in the midst of our lukewarm apathy toward the things that matter most to Him! If it’s worth anything, it’s worth everything. May God forgive those who will not go the second mile.
Now, in some things moderation is good, like eating, rest, recreation, exercise, and finances. But when it comes to spiritual warfare, moderation is a sin. When it comes to believing the Bible, moderation is a sin. When it comes to loving the Lord, moderation is a sin!
Suppose a wife asked her husband, “Honey, do you love me?” And he replied, “Well, moderately.” She’d fix his wagon, don’t you think? God finds lukewarmness disgusting. In your love for Him, He would rather you be cold than lukewarm (see Revelation 3:15-16).
ACTION POINT:
Friend, if the world considers you a “moderate” when it comes to your Christianity, you are riding the fence of lukewarmness.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
