Living a Life Worth Living – Writings by Robin McKinley
Devotions contain short, simple teachings on a Bible verse or biblical topic. Not a sermon with an introduction, points, illustrations, and application. Much simpler than that a Devotional consists of a single truth from the Bible. One that God taught you, and you want to teach to others.
Devotions consist of advice from other Christians about living as a Christian. In the Bible, we get to read the words inspired by God.
Starting a daily quiet time practice using devotionals make for a stronger Christian. Start first with the habit of spending time daily with God.
Understood as a time set aside to devote oneself to pray, Bible study, or private worship of God. … Some Christians call this time Bible study, Quiet Time, Daily Watch, Sacred Time, or an appointment with God. All these names point us to the essential purpose of this vital time to grow closer to God.

Most of us remember the day when we accepted Jesus. It changed your life, didn’t it? Are you still living that new life? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking about your salvation.
