Who Can Be Saved?Greetings Reader Jesus made a startling statement to His disciples. After speaking about the difficulty of a rich person entering the Kingdom of God, they responded with an honest question: "Then who in the world can be saved?" The answer may surprise us. Jesus did not say salvation was difficult. He said it was impossible—at least from a human perspective. The good news of the gospel is that God specializes in impossibilities. What we could never accomplish through our goodness, religion, or personal effort, Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection. In today's devotional, we will examine why no one can earn salvation and why our only hope rests completely in Jesus Christ. This message also serves as a wonderful reminder to share the good news with those who believe they must somehow work their way into heaven. I hope today's devotion encourages you and strengthens your confidence in the finished work of Christ. God Bless, Robin

We often spend our lives comparing ourselves to others or trying to become someone we were never designed to be. But Scripture...
Finding Refuge In God When You Feel Trapped Greetings Reader David found himself in one of the darkest seasons of his life. Hiding in a cave, surrounded by danger, he discovered that when every other refuge disappeared, God remained faithful. Have you ever felt trapped by circumstances, overwhelmed by burdens, or unsure where to turn? Psalm 142 reminds us that we never face those moments alone.

Let Us Go To The House Of The Lord Greetings Reader In Psalm 122, David declared, "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" But how do you feel when it's time to go to church? Years ago, as I was leaving a service, I overheard someone say, "I gave God my hour this week." That statement has stayed with me. Is church simply an obligation to fulfill, or is it a privilege we eagerly anticipate? In this week's devotion, we'll discover why David found such joy in...
