As a fan of DC Talk growing up, I almost called this episode Nu Thing. (That’s for all the TRUE fans! Ha). Yesterday, God said we shouldn’t dwell on the past miracles He has done in our lives. A weird thing for God to say. Today, we learn why God would give us that advice. And we truly understand what He is saying, it will change our outlook on life.

“You don’t have any freedom. It’s just all rules and regulations.” This is what a lot of people think being a Christians is all about. The problem is, they are believe a lie. If we do whatever we want and make any choice we feel like, it leads to a life of sin and bondage. Freedom comes with guidelines. Jesus want to free us from the bondage of sin. True freedom is found in Christ. About the One Verse Devotional One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

After a two week break, it is good to be back! It was nice to get caught up on life and get a little refreshed, but I missed you all. Today, we have a great verse. It’s one of those verses where you think: “Did he really just say that?” James makes a very important observation in today’s One Verse. When people talk about faith, a common phrase is, “I believe in God.” According to James, that isn’t enough. You know why? Satan believes in God. Wait, did he just say that?! (See, I told ya!)

Hey guys! I wanted you to know I'm going camping with my family the next few days, so I am taking a little break from the podcast. I will be back later this week on Thursday and Friday. Stay in God's Word! Happy 4th! I'll see you later this week. Peace! Matt

Summer means camping. Hiking. Canoeing. If you love these outdoor activities, then you’ve been caught in a storm. When the lightning crashes, you immediately look for safety, a place you can take refuge from danger. Psalm 46 tells us that this is exactly what God is in our lives. He is that refuge, a place to hide when the storms of life surround us. God doesn’t just offer help in times of trouble, but He is an ever-present Help when we need Him. Our God is the safety, the help, and the strength we need to survive any storm that comes our way.

As Christians, it is easy to get caught up in the “do’s and don’ts” of religion. While rules and guidelines are important, they aren’t the most important thing. So, what is? What is the most important thing a Christian should hold onto and live by? Paul says simply in Galatians 3:26, “In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.” That is the defining point of our faith: Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we are the children of the Most High God, along with all the benefits this brings. We are children of God and heirs to His Kingdom.

At the end of the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul tells us to “rejoice always,” but what does that really mean? Do we still praise God during the messy times of life? Isn’t this command a little cruel and uncompassionate? Like any verse, this one has layers. Let’s take a few minutes and peel of few of them back on this whole idea of rejoicing always.

Have you ever played the game where you shut the door and try to keep out your sibling or friends? As long as the door stays shut, it is almost impossible for them to open it. But if they get just one foot in the door, they can eventually pry the entire thing open. In Ephesians 4, the Bible tells us that is exactly how sin works in our life. Do not give the Devil a foothold.
