We think of eternity as being "timeless" but God has a different perspective. Through showing us the Tree of Life, from the beginning of mankind in the Garden to eternity in the New Jerusalem, God redeems time from the curse of sin and offers us an eternal, dynamic life, tracked by His eternal clock!

Today’s devotional invites listeners into one of Scripture’s most transformative truths: the life we live is shaped by the thoughts we allow to take root. Drawing from passages like Proverbs 4:23, Romans 12:2, and Philippians 4:8, this episode explores how our inner meditations quietly sculpt our attitudes, choices, relationships, and spiritual growth.

We reflect on why God cares so deeply about the mind, how negative thought patterns can distort our spiritual vision, and how renewing our thoughts with God’s truth leads to peace, clarity, and Christlike living. Listeners will be encouraged to examine the “hidden stream” beneath their words and actions and discover how aligning their thoughts with Scripture can reshape their reality from the inside out.

If you’re longing for a more grounded, joyful, and spiritually focused life, this devotional offers practical encouragement and biblical insight to help you cultivate a mind that reflects the heart of God.

Examine Yourselves — A Biblical Call to Spiritual Reflection

In this devotional message, we explore one of Scripture’s most meaningful spiritual practices: self‑examination. Far from being a source of guilt or fear, the Bible presents self‑examination as a grace‑filled invitation to pause, reflect, and realign our hearts with God.

Drawing from passages such as 2 Corinthians 13:5, Psalm 139:23–24, Psalm 119:59, and Lamentations 3:40, this episode walks through a simple, life‑giving pattern:

• Invite God’s search — letting His gentle light reveal what we cannot see

• Consider your ways — reflecting honestly on our walk with Christ

• Examine and return — responding with confession, gratitude, and renewed obedience

• Confirm your calling — finding assurance and stability in God’s ongoing work in us

This message is especially meaningful for believers in their later seasons of life, offering clarity, peace, and renewed purpose. Whether you’re listening during your quiet time, on a morning walk, or as part of your weekly devotional rhythm, may this reflection encourage you to draw closer to the Lord who lovingly examines and faithfully leads His people.

If this episode blesses you, consider sharing it with someone who could use a gentle reminder of God’s guiding grace.

The Apostle John shares with his Christian audience that their new nature and changed life will change who and how they love. A believer's love for God creates a desire to love and serve others - not a selfish love for personal gain, but a selfless love to bless and benefit others, demonstrating God's active work in a believer's life.

Continuing our 1 John series on 'Assurances', a believer's desire to live a life of obedience to God rather than continuing in sin and remaining under control of the old sin nature assures the believer that God has made him/her a new creation with a new nature, and is now secure in God's family.

Part of the series on the Assurances of Salvation and Eternal Security in 1 John, "we may know" we are saved (1 John 5:13) when our desire is to "walk in the light."

Taken from 1 John, the foundational assurance that a believer is saved and eternally secure is through belief in Jesus the Christ. John writes his epistle so that we may know with certainty that we are saved for eternity.
