Jesus Daily






Jesus Daily: 365 Interactive Devotions by Aaron Tabor, MD

Every day we are bombarded by a list of things to do, one more activity to finish just before the deadline.  In the midst of all this running around, we often forget how significant time with our Savior is each day.  This new devotional called Jesus Daily by Aaron Tabor, MD, is a wealth of help to get us focused on the one who loves more than anyone, Jesus.  With Scripture, a short devotion, and an actions point, each is filled with wisdom, inspiration and a better way of seeing Jesus in everyday life.

The entry for today is all about saying yes to God even when we don’t have all the details.  Obedience is not always easy when we’re sure of the end result, but when we know a call is from God, obedience flows out of a heart of service.  Aaron writes, “Therefore, we when she heard him say something that didn’t quite make sense, she was ready to obey because she knew it was from God.”  Finding God’s voice from all the surrounding competing voices can be hard for the Christian, but we know where to turn to hear his voice and his will, for it is found in His Scripture through the aid of His Spirit. 
I really enjoyed as well the snippets at the end of each day that calls us to action.  One suggestion on 

July 29th was to remain offline in your personal time, praying for those suffering around the world.  This advice takes us out of our comfortable lives and puts us into contact with our Heavenly Father, praying for those who suffer for His name every day.  Another reason I thought these action points were good is that Aaron wasn’t seeking to overwhelm and overload us with checklists but offered simple points of grace that we can do to help others, nourish our spiritual lives, and help us see the world as God sees it.

If you are looking for a devotional to lift up your spirits, point you to Jesus, and call you to live differently, Jesus Daily will be a boon of goodness for you.

The Rise of the Modern Self by Carl Trueman

  The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self by Carl Trueman Navigating the culture that we take up residence in, with its laser focus on sexual identity, tolerance, and an individualism that raises its head at every corner, Christians need a robust account of how we got to this point in our Western culture without retreating to our churches nor morphing with the latest trends.   Carl Trueman, professor of religion and theology at Grove City College, brings his keen historical research to bear on this issue in his new book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self.   Part historical survey and philosophical analysis, Dr. Trueman traces the trajectories of key thinkers such as Rousseau, Freud, and Marx, while also incorporating the insights of Charles Taylor and Phillip Rieff to form a cogent argument as to how we got to this point in our history, both in our expressive individualism and sexual freedom outlooks.   The book is surprisingly insightful and yet demands from the reader the pa

The Conditioned Mind

The Conditioned Mind: Overcoming the Crippling Effects of Sin and Guilt by Michael J. Mannia Counselor and author Michael J. Mannia knows firsthand how the spiraling of sin and guilt can eat away at life.  His new book, The Conditioned Mind, is a look into how believers can overcome the effects of sin and guilt and live in the freedom that we have in Christ.  Through a careful look into the patterns that we develop and the mindsets that we get ingrained in, Michael is able to offer ways through guilt that bring freedom and healing.  I think this is not only a timely but a book that aims toward bringing real healing to its readers. In the first chapter Michael looks at two needs that we have: our need for love and our need for security.  Love isn’t something optional for the human race, but something it needs at its core.  “Additionally, we need to reciprocate love.  We need to feel loved as much as we need to love others (8).”  Love is a two-way street that inv

Passover and Jesus

The Messiah in the Passover , Edited by Darrell Bock and Mitch Glaser Why should Christians celebrate and remember the Passover?   This is a striking question that needs to be understood as well as the historical and theological context of the Passover.   However obscure we sometimes view the Old Testament, there is some significant reasons why we should reach back and study the Passover.   Mitch Glaser in the Introduction states, “When Christians celebrate the Passover, they grow in their understanding of the Old Testament, affirm the Jewishness of the Gospel, deepen our understanding of the Lord’s Supper, and build community with fellow Christians…” (20).   This book is answer to why celebrate the Passover but even more importantly an answer to what the Passover is and what it signifies to us today.   The various contributors of this book, Messiah in the Passover, bring a wealth of ministry experience in relating the Jewishness of both Jesus and the Old Testament to
