Today's Devotional: Aug. 18
“Sin? Who, Me?”
More people are claiming they don’t believe in sin. With the rise of secularism, the concept of sin is fading. If there’s no God—at least, no personal God—there are no divine rules to govern us. So why feel guilty? One person said, “I came to the realization that I don’t believe in sin. I still admire Jesus a lot.” The contradiction of that statement was lost on the man. He has a form of godliness without its power, purpose, convictions, or realities.

HOW JESUS’ PROPHECY SHAPES OUR PRIORITIES
The World of the End
Drawing from the words of Jesus, Dr. David Jeremiah’s latest burden is spelled out in his new book and series, The World of the End. This teaching lays out priorities for believers in an era of heightened deception and confusion and brings perspective straight from Matthew 24:1-14, where Jesus gives His longest and last address to His disciples in the Olivet Discourse. Jesus warned of deception in the Last Days, that there would be war, strife, and persecution. But His words must be echoed today: See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet…. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come (verses 6, 14).
Dr. Jeremiah suggests there is One voice we ought to trust more than other voices, one expert we ought to prefer above all the other “experts,” and One whose opinion we ought to value more than all other opinions. Amid the thousands of shrill voices screaming for our attention, there is but One voice we need to hear.
The voice of Jesus Christ.
Instead of scanning the headlines, tuning into talk shows, or following the latest social media personality trying to figure out what the future may hold, you should spend as much time listening to His voice to know Him better. Then when the future becomes the present, you will enjoy a wondrously close relationship with Almighty God and be prepared to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ in strength. No matter what happens!

Who is Jesus Christ?
Christ Above All: The Book of Colossians
Our minds need solid doctrine so we’ll have a solid relationship with Christ, built on personal reverence for Him and friendship with Him.
In Colossians, the Lord led the apostle Paul to paint one of the most vivid portraits of Jesus Christ in all of Scripture to help us believers understand that Christ is above all and superior to any belief system promoted by any false voices.
Request your copy of Christ Above All and as you read Dr. Jeremiah’s study of Colossians, you’ll come to better know who Jesus is theologically. In other words, the truth about Him—the whole truth and nothing but the truth—will thrill you.

Answers to Questions About Prayer
In Answers to Questions About Prayer, new from David Jeremiah, you will learn the answers to some of the most important questions you may have about talking to your Heavenly Father! This book is divided into five sections and makes it easy to find the answers to your questions. You will also find Prayers of Jesus to model and Scripture references for specific topics regarding prayer.
Prayer is so easy to do, and yet so often, we fail to go to God in prayer unless we are in a place of despair or trouble. When we fail to pray, we miss the tremendous blessing that comes from a daily conversation with our Creator. Prayer should not be left out of our everyday life. It is an instant connection—no waiting required—you can pray any time, any place, any day. And while we often have questions about prayer, God’s Word contains the answers.
If you have questions about prayer and its importance in the Christian life, this book will provide the answers.

We all enjoy planning for our family vacations and getaways with loved ones. However, how many of us spend more time planning a vacation than we do planning for the future? Probably most of us. Why? Because planning for a vacation is fun, exciting, and brimming with anticipation. Planning for our future seems to be a bit different since it can involve fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But, if you plan for your future legacy in an organized way, it can be just as simple as planning for that wonderful vacation that is so exciting. You just need to get started, and we want to help.

From this Point Forward
"Sticks and Stones" by David Jeremiah
There must have been a good reason for the origin of this saying—"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm me”—but here I have to disagree! Words can hurt as much, if not more, than “sticks and stones.”
The tongue is not like the sweet kitty or puppy that greets you when you walk through the door. The tongue is like a saber-tooth tiger or a ravenous wolf (James 3:7-8). Man has succeeded in taming some of the wildest creatures on earth, but has failed miserably when it comes to taming the tongue. Evidence? How many times have you thought, “I wish I’d never said that!”? There’s the proof—the tongue does what it wants and must be kept on a short leash.

Tour the Land of the Bible with Dr. David Jeremiah
After leading several trips to the land of the Bible, Israel has become one of my favorite places on earth. Donna and I are excited to return for another Turning Point Israel tour, March 19-29, 2019.
We’ll visit historical places like:
- Gethsemane
- The Sea of Galilee
- The Mount of Beatitudes
- And more
I’ll guide you through these sacred sites and others, teaching God’s Word as we retrace our Savior’s steps. Imagine seeing the same landscape Jesus saw, being baptized in the Jordan River, or singing at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.
These life experiences will change you forever.
