The Miracle of Belief:  When God Draws the Heart I share the Word of God because I am compelled to do so. I love Him and want everyone else to love Him. I know Him, and I want everyone else to know Him. I tell you what He is doing in my life because He asked me to share my journey as I experience spiritual growth through the lessons taught in Chambers’ book through this public forum. I do not tell you of myself to lift myself; I am always pointing to Him. He is the power of life. He is the power of my life. He is the One. Belief in God—and belief in the power of the blood of Christ to save your soul from eternal damnation—is a miracle of God that requires the choice of man. God initiates the first contact. He draws the hear...

The Quill and Me—Devotional Blog•Oswald Chambers Reflections   Today's Devotional • Back to Home Page   Jun 20 Today's Reading: My Utmost for His Highest Job 42:10 "The Lord restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends"  It Is a Gift   We are saved by the atonement of Jesus Christ.

We just feel like there has got to be something that we can do  —  but there isn't . And when we keep going down this path... well, it is just the wrong path to go down, that's all there is to it. Stop. Turn around. Let us go back to the beginning. We accepted Christ as our Savior. He paid our bill. We could never have paid it....

Daily Bible Verse: Acts 26:17-18 (NLT) ...to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins..." From Darkness to Light Are you saved? Have you received the ultimate gift of grace from our Lord? The forgiveness of sin is a gift from God and can only be received when we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as our Savior and Lord.  Many people are walking around without this gift. We have been commissioned by God to bring this message to the people. This is what it means to be "born again": you accept Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness of your sins.  When we are saved, we also receive the Holy Spirit. In our previous message, we discussed how the Holy Spirit delves into the uttermost regions of our beings and cleanses us of all unrighteousness. If you have not received this gift of salvation from Jesus, just say a simple, heartfelt prayer asking Him to come into your he...
