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.

All these names point us to the essential purpose of this vital time to grow closer to God.

I wonder what condition the church would be in if we didn’t have faithful intercessors?
The Bible tells us how to respond when we are rejected for sharing the gospel.
Psalm 128 paints a picture of a family’s life shaped by their faith in God. The psalmist didn’t promise an easy road but spoke of blessings that flow from faithful obedience. His blessings touch our work, marriage, children, and even generations yet to come. Despite the world’s view, this Psalm points us to a better … Read more
David faced relentless enemies, but instead of turning bitter or taking revenge, he lifted his voice toward heaven. He took a moment to cry out to the Lord for His mercy and protection.

Jesus because you died on the cross and arose from the grave. He made a way for our sins to be forgiven.
