Do we think the solution to our anxieties and ill-ease is taking in more of what the world has to offer? No way! We need to take away the suggestive and vulgar media and add in time with our heavenly Father. Only He can give us peace.

We could follow the best diet and go to the gym every day but still be unhealthy. Our spiritual health—how we feel and react to circumstances—is nourished only by time with the Lord and His Word.

Some religions have food restrictions. According to the New Testament, there are no holy or unholy foods. But following a command about what we put in our mouths is easier to do than following the one that says to watch what comes out of our mouths! Words are deadly weapons. Just like we taste our food, let’s chew on our words before letting them fly.

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us to watch out for rules and teachings that go against the Bible. For example, being unmarried or avoiding certain foods doesn’t make someone more or less of a Christian! We are not under the Old Testament law—we are called to follow the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let’s ask the Lord to reveal what is fake so that we can avoid it!

There’s an old saying that we’ve all probably heard before: “What would Jesus do?” If we change that saying and instead ask ourselves about things we see, “Would Jesus do that?” we will grow in discernment. The false teachings of the world are enticing and self-gratifying. Let’s ask the Spirit for guidance and follow what is really true.

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us about false teachers. Some people today claim to have heard words from the Lord that are actually additional—and contrary—to the Bible. If they truly did, that means God left crucial information out of His book. Did He do that? No! We won’t find truth from politicians, money-grabbers, or psychics. The complete truth is in the Word of God. Let’s study it today.

It dishonors God if we act as if He is dead. Jesus conquered death for us! Are we living with Him fully alive in our hearts and minds? Let's do it today.

Do you serve in your church? Ministering to others goes against our selfish, human nature, but true greatness lies in serving, not in being served. How much we serve—singing in the choir, working with the children, or even making something for others, like Pastor Cymbala’s mother did—reflects our relationship with Christ. Let’s get involved!

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us against pride. The devil was a high-ranking angel with no one to tempt him, yet he was so full of pride that he challenged Almighty God! Now he tries to tempt and trap us so that we will have the same judgment he does. All Christians are susceptible to pride. Let’s pray today to be so full of Christ that there will no room for any conceit.

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us that we cannot love God and money equally. Bickering and bitterness, stinginess and comparison all stem from loving money. Instead of storing up riches and seeking rewards here on earth, let’s turn our focus to God in heaven. Our greatest reward will be seeing Him face to face and hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (Matthew 25:21).

It wouldn’t be right for a pastor to use swear words from the pulpit! His congregation would surely lose respect for him. A pastor—or any church leader—needs to be respectable, hospitable, faithful, and teachable. Even for Christians who don’t aspire to be preachers or bishops, we should all ask the Holy Spirit to give us the attributes required of leaders so we can properly represent our God to a hurting world.

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down a tricky verse about modesty. The world screams for women to dress sensually, while certain churches stack up unreasonable requirements in the name of “modesty.” We have to look at what the Bible says. Let’s approach modesty and what we wear with a spirit of prayer, asking God for peace and guidance rather than pleasing people.

A mediator is someone who goes between the judge and the accused. When it comes to our eternity, God is the judge, and we are the accused sinners. We have no way to get into heaven on our own—but Jesus steps in as our mediator! He took our judgment upon Himself and takes our prayers to God personally! Are we living in that truth daily? Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we should be!

When prayer is done with faith and sincerity, there’s no request too small, too emotional, or too specific for God. He wants to hear it all!

There are many things in the Bible we won’t fully understand until we get to heaven. But we can clearly understand this: we should never blaspheme God or push the envelope with sin. There is no “how far is too far” just because we’re saved by grace. We must submit ourselves to God’s plan every day—our lives will be so much better for it!
