  • Daily Devotional: Romans 2:9-16

    Daily Devotional: Romans 2:9-16

    Paul is unclear, here, about what and when the day of judgment will be (v. 5, 16). What we know for sure is that on the day of judgment, it is a person’s conscience and thoughts that bear witness against him or her. Those who keep the Law will be justified. The person’s soul will…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 2:1-8

    After listing the things he believes are degrading to the person—things that are harmful to individuals and society: homosexuality, wickedness, greed, envy, murder, deceit, malice, gossip, slander, arrogance, boastfulness, and disobedience to parents—Paul indicts everyone who passes judgment on those who practice such things. We should perk up, here, because we like to mount our…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:18-32

    Paul explains why he is unashamed of the gospel. “For” in the English translations can most often also be translated, “because.” Paul is unashamed of the gospel because the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. So, we cannot begin at verse…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:7-17

    Paul addresses his letter to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints. He does not address it to all those who love God or who are currently in a church group. So, later, when he mentions that he wants to come to them to preach the gospel and see evangelistic fruit…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:1-6

    Introduction Romans was written by Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in the mid 50s AD. Paul’s purpose in writing a letter to Rome was to encourage them, impart some knowledge to them because they were not yet established, and preach the gospel to them (1:11-15). Since Romans was written to an unestablished people in order to…

  • Daily Devotional: Genesis 50:1-26

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 50:1-26

    Jacob is buried in Canaan, and  Joseph dies. Before he dies, Joseph’s brothers beg his forgiveness for their evil against him in Canaan. Joseph explains that he is not in the place of God. What his brothers meant as evil against him, God meant for good in order to bring about the salvation of many…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 49:1-33

    Jacob gives his final blessings to his children, telling them what will come of them. His words are prophecy. Reuben, the firstborn, will not have preeminence. Again, the forsaken firstborn motif presents. This motif typifies the incarnation of Christ. Adam, the firstborn man and federal head of creation was unable to be righteous and bring…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 48:1-22

    Jacob is still considering his immanent death. He blesses Ephraim over Manasseh even though Manasseh is Joseph’s firstborn. The forsaken firstborn motif is present in Genesis, starting with Cain and Abel, and will present throughout the entire Old Testament. This motif typifies the incarnation of Christ. Adam, the firstborn man and federal head of creation…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 47:1-31

    Jacob talks to Pharaoh and prepares for his death. Joseph acquires nearly all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh and many of the people as Pharaoh’s slaves because they sold themselves for food during the famine. As Jacob nears death, he says of his own life, “The years of my sojourning are one hundred and…

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 46:1-34

    Joseph’s family arrives in Egypt, seventy people altogether, and settle in Goshen. Reading through the genealogy provided in Chapter 46, I recognize that the wives of Joseph are Egyptian women. Yet his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim—half Egyptian—are counted with the house of Israel without reservation. Not only are Joseph’s sons half-Egyptian, they are descendants of…
