by Jonathan Merki on December 4th, 2024
Let love be genuine and Christlike in us. Help us not make it conditional. Help us not cheapen love as our world does. By Your Spirit, help us to live the love that Christ taught and lived by growing daily in it. Let our lives be such that the world will testify about the Church: "Behold how they love one another."

Day 335: Romans 12-15; Psalm 14
by Jonathan Merki on November 30th, 2024
Lord God, it seems very fitting in this moment to lift up our government and all who govern us in any way...all You have placed in authority over us (Romans 13:1-5). Too often we find it easy to complain about and criticize our authorities when Your Word calls us to pray for them (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Indeed, we are to pray for Your manifest presence. Our desire should be for peace and right living.....  Read More
