| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 (NIV) Our thought for today: “Choose Jesus” I love the story of Mary and Martha. There’s so much for us to learn from it. For one thing, in Martha we see a clear example of how it is that good things can distract from and lead us away from the best things. Martha was a servant at heart and in this case, it was Jesus Himself who she was serving. That was a very, very good thing. But it was not the best thing. Not now; not at this time. It was Mary who had found the best thing. She was simply sitting at the feet of Jesus learning from Him, soaking in His presence, breathing-in His peace. Martha had good but Mary had best. The truth is that God wants to be wanted. He longs to be desired by us. That’s why He gave us the promise in Jeremiah 29:13 that “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” God wants to be chosen by us. When Jesus looked at Martha, He saw someone serving Him. When Jesus looked at Mary, He saw someone choosing Him. I have recommended to you before the great book by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge “The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God.” It’s all about how it is that God woos us, and how He wants us to respond to His wooing by choosing Him. It’s a romance, with Him in the lead. He desires an intimate relationship with each of us and He is doing His part to draw us to Himself. But we do have to reciprocate. Too often we’re more like Martha than Mary. We do stuff for the Lord rather than simply being with Him. Serving Him is important, but just being with Him is better. I encourage you choose the best thing. Choose Jesus. As a demonstration of your great love for Him, choose to simply be with Him.

Bold does not mean brash
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13 (CSB) Our thought for today: “Bold doesn’t mean brash” It was a Sunday afternoon, shortly after lunch, and I was out in our neighborhood walking our three little dogs along the side of the road. Suddenly a car slowly rolled up and stopped alongside of us. The young man driving the car was dressed in a suit. Evidently, he was just coming from church. He rolled the window down and in a somewhat loud and slightly aggressive voice he said, “Hey brother, you need Jesus!” I was taken back a bit by his demeanor and approach, and also by the fact that I was a complete stranger to him and therefore he knew nothing about me. I replied, “Well, I do know Jesus. He’s my Lord and Savior.” Undeterred he replied, “Are you sure? Because I’m telling you that if you don’t know Jesus then you’re going to hell.” And with that, he hit the gas and drove away. I suspect that young man has read passages like Acts 4:13 and concluded that he too was being bold for Jesus like Peter and John were. But I would argue to the contrary. Being bold does not mean being rude, obnoxious, arrogant, insensitive, or disrespectful. I contrast that with the example of Louise Teel, the wife of my pastor Oren Teel. Oren and Louise were my mentors in ministry. Oren baptized me and then raised me up in the ministry, eventually teaching me how to be a pastor. Louise was essentially my West Coast mother (my actual mother lived on the East Coast at the time.) Louise was a kind, gentle, grandmotherly figure who simply loved everyone. When she saw a person struggling in some manner, she would look for an opportunity to bless the person with some kind act and then she would gently and lovingly try to help the person see that they needed Jesus (if they didn’t already know Him). Louise never hesitated to tell people about Jesus. She actively looked for opportunities to do so. But she did it in a kind and gentle way that radiated love and compassion (followed by unvarnished gospel truth). Louise was bold for Jesus in a very effective way. That young man was just obnoxious. People like Louise draw people to Jesus. People like that young man push people away from Jesus. Bold doesn’t mean brash, it means confident. Bold doesn’t have to be pushy and insensitive, it can be kind, gentle, and considerate. I encourage you to make sure you are drawing people to Jesus and not pushing them away. What the world needs is more Christians who radiate and share the love of Jesus.

We have what they need
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV) Our thought for today: “We have what they need” I recently read that sociologists (scientists who study society) have concluded that ours is a depressed culture which has what they termed “a dampened spirit.” Forty-one percent of Americans have struggled with some degree of mental illness at least once in life. Twelve percent are on a long-term (or even lifelong) treatment plan that includes antidepressants (including twenty-four percent of college-aged students). Beyond that, even among those who are not clinically depressed, record numbers of Americans report struggling with elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and despondency on a regular basis. This, even though we live in the most affluent society in the history of the world, with the highest standard of living and the most creature comforts any society has every had. And yet … and yet, we are unhappy. We have a dampened spirit. The 2025 World Happiness Report ranks the USA twenty-fourth on the scale of happiness among the nations of the world (our lowest ranking ever), behind such countries as Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Norway, Israel, Luxembourg, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Lithuania, Austria, Canada, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Evidently even with all our wealth, possessions, technology, and creature comforts, we still are not happy. Instead, the problem is getting worse. Our happiness ranking continues to decline. However, not everyone in our society fits that profile. There is a group that is doing much better than the average. That’s what Peter was writing about in 1 Peter 3:15. Committed Christians who actively practice their faith have substantially higher levels of satisfaction and fulfillment than the general population. Fifty-six percent of Christians who seriously practice their faith report being very or extremely happy and satisfied with life overall. We have hope and happiness that is found in Christ. The love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that the Apostle Paul wrote about in Galatians 5:22-23 is a reality in the lives of committed Christians. That’s the fruit of Jesus (the character of Jesus), becoming increasingly evident in their lives and that is what makes all the difference. People all around you need what you have. They need Jesus. I encourage you to share Jesus with someone today. We don’t need more stuff, we need more Jesus.

Walking with God in a thousand difficult circumstances
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “All these were approved through their faith …” Hebrews 11:39 (CSB) Our thought for today: “Walking with God in a thousand difficult circumstances” I love Hebrews chapter eleven. It is commonly referred to as “The Faith Hall of Fame” because in it the writer gives us example after example of great men and women who held to their faith and who stood strong in the worst of circumstances. Fifteen of them are mentioned by name and then there are general references to unnamed prophets, unnamed women, and “others too numerous to mention.” All of them walked faithfully with God in love and faith through the worst of circumstances. The Bible is packed full of examples of people walking in love and by faith through a thousand difficult circumstances. Those examples are there for our benefit. God included them so we would have a picture of what it looks like to face life bravely despite the difficulties we encounter. This is why we not only read the Bible, but we study it. The fact is that over time, we become like those we associate with and that’s true of the people we associate with in life, but it’s also true of the people we associate with through their written stories. That’s one of the reasons the reading of biographies can be so helpful and inspiring. The good examples set for us by others inspires us to want to be better men and women too. That’s especially true of the examples set for us by the people recorded in the Bible. One of the most valuable and helpful tools God has given us for learning the lessons of the Bible and becoming saturated with the truth of Scripture, is to sit under the instruction of good Bible teachers and preachers. God has gifted men and women of faith to be teachers and preachers and then He created our local churches to be the places for His people to gather as we learn and grow together. By doing so, you will be inspired by the examples set for you by the people depicted in the Bible who are being taught about, but you will also be inspired and helped by the examples of the wise and mature saints of God present in your church family. We learn from all of them. What the world needs now is more Christians who truly do know how to walk with God in love and faith through the most difficult of circumstances. In the Bible and in life God has given us a thousand examples (and more) of people who have learned to do that. I pray that you too are learning to walk with Him in love and faith as you deal with the difficult circumstances in your life.

What is Jesus doing now?
| Good morning everyone, I apologize for the inconsistency of the daily devotionals over the last several weeks. I was on a family vacation for two weeks. Also, my sister died during that time and I had to go to New Jersey to perform her memorial service. Then in the middle of all that, my twelve-year old laptop died and I had to get a new one, have all my programs installed, and transfer all the old files. But with that said, I am back on track now and the daily devotionals will come to you every morning as usual. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.” Hebrews 7:25 (CSB) Our thought for today: “What Jesus is doing now” In the previous devotional in this series, we thought about how it is that God our Father loves to give good gifts to His much-loved children. I have this image in my mind of a loving and benevolent Father joyfully welcoming me as I come to Him, and then smiling as He pours blessings into my life. If that’s what the Father is doing in heaven at this moment – blessing His children, what is Jesus doing? We know what He did when He was here on earth – He lived, He died, He arose again. But then He ascended back into heaven and took His place at the right hand of the Father. So, what is He doing as He sits there now? Hebrews 7:25 says that He is interceding for us. I recently came across a great insight into this from author and Bible scholar Dane Ortland. With respect to Hebrews 7:25 he asks, “But why would Jesus need to intercede for us? After all, haven’t we been completely justified already? What is there for Christ to plead for on our behalf? Hasn’t he already done all that is needed to fully acquit us?” The answer is “yes.” As an incredible expression of God’s love for us, on the cross Jesus has already done all that needed to be done to fully acquit us of all our sins. So then, what is the current interceding work of Jesus and why would He be doing it? What could there be left for Him to intercede about? Ortland explains, “The atonement accomplished our salvation; intercession is the moment-by-moment application of that atoning work.” In other words, as we continue to sin, Jesus continues to apply His atoning work to our sin and therefore we continue to remain righteous in God’s sight. When you sin, Jesus turns to the Father and says, “I paid for that sin.” – and it is instantly erased. It’s like clicking the “refresh” button on your computer: You sin, Jesus clicks “refresh,” and the page is clean once again. Oftentimes we think the love of Jesus was expressed for us once and for all on the cross, but that’s an incomplete picture. The love of Jesus is an ongoing reality that is expressed continuously as He intercedes on your behalf. That’s what Jesus is doing for us now.

He is a good, good Father
| Good morning everyone, I apologize that I was unable to send you the daily devotionals for the last couple of days. My twelve-year-old laptop finally gave up the ghost and died, and I was out of business for a couple of days until a new one was purchased, loaded with my programs, and my files were transferred to the new laptop. Thank you for your patience. Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “You feed them from the abundance of your own house.” Psalm 36:8 (NLT) Our thought for today: “He is a good, good Father” I love the picture King David painted for us in Psalm 36:8 of a loving Father (God) joyfully and generously providing for His much-loved children out of the abundance of His riches. This is such an important truth for us to grasp and claim. God our Father loves us deeply and He gets great joy from blessing us. Author John Eldredge spoke powerfully to this truth in his great little book, “Year of Restoration.” I can’t describe it better than he did and therefore I’m going to share with you his entire thought about this: “Yes, yes – you have heard that you are a child of God; you are his son or daughter. The curse of familiarity with the words has dulled you to the staggering truth it contains. You still act and pray like an orphan, or a slave. Slaves feel reluctant to pray; they feel they have no right to ask, and so their prayers are modest and respectful. They spend more time asking forgiveness than they do praying for abundance. They view the relationship with reverence, maybe more like fear, but not with the tenderness of love. Of being loved. There is no intimacy in the language or their feelings. Sanctified unworthiness colors their view of prayer. These are often “good servants of the Lord.” Orphans are not reluctant to pray; they feel desperate. But their prayers feel more like begging than anything else. Orphans feel a great chasm between themselves and the One to whom they speak. Abundance is a foreign concept; a poverty mentality permeates their prayer life. They ask for scraps; they expect scraps. But friend, the Father loves you like he loves Jesus. Is this in your mind and heart as you come to prayer? You are not an orphan. You are not merely a “servant” of God. You are His son or daughter. And with that comes his delightful abundance.” The love of God for you is very great, much more than you realize. And His desire to bless you and provide for you is far greater too. He is indeed a good, good Father. I encourage you to approach Him now with that in mind.

If you love Him, you will seek Him
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3:8 (NIV) Our thought for today: “If you love Him, you will seek Him” In Jeremiah 29:13-14 God promises that if we seek Him with our whole heart, we will find Him: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord.” That’s what the Apostle Paul was describing in Philippians 3:8. He had come to the point in his life (and more importantly in his walk with Christ), that nothing was more important to him than drawing closer and closer to Jesus. It wasn’t that Paul dismissed as worthless the things of this world. People still mattered to him – especially his close friendships. Clothes and food and shelter still mattered – of course they did. But nothing mattered to him more than drawing closer to Jesus, and he would allow nothing in life to take priority over that. Paul was simply practicing what Jesus called for in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:33 when He said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these others things will be added to you.” Over-and-over again in the Bible, in numerous passages using numerous illustrations, God makes it clear that He reserves the greatest awareness of Himself for those who will seek Him with all their heart. There are hidden things about God that we are allowed to discover and experience only when we make the effort and do the work to truly seek Him. Like gold and diamonds which can only be unearthed through deep digging and hard work, so too the deeper things of God are reserved for those who will pursue Him at that depth. Why? Why does God withhold a deeper awareness of Himself only for those who will seek Him like that? It’s so we will appreciate the preciousness of our relationship with Him. When something is attained too easily it is undervalued (if it is even appreciated at all). But when we put time and effort into it – sustained time and effort pursuing what our heart longs for, then once it is ours, we value and cherish it. God wants us to cherish Him like that. If you love Him, you will seek Him with all your heart. And if you will seek Him with all your heart, you will experience Him in ways you never have before.

Come home to the Father
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Romans 8:15-16 (CSB) Our thought for today: “Come home to the Father” The other morning, in my devotional book “Year of Restoration” by John Eldredge, I read this: “Most believe that Christianity is an offer of forgiveness. What isn’t often grasped is that there’s more. Forgiveness was made available to you so that you might come home to the Father. Forgiveness is not the goal. Coming home to the Father is the goal.” In a previous devotional in this series I noted that the Bible is primarily a love story. It is about the love of God for human beings and His deep desire for us to spend eternity in heaven with Him. However, sin keeps us from Him and so He sent Jesus to earth to rescue us from the consequences of our sins and to provide a way for us to come home to Him in heaven. As Eldrege so eloquently explained, forgiveness is not really the goal, coming home to the Father is the goal. Forgiveness is simply the path that gets us there. As Paul explained in Romans 8:15-16, what we’re seeing here is the heart of the Father for His adopted children. He wants you to be with Him so badly that He went to extraordinary lengths to make it possible. I can relate. All four of my children were adopted, the two youngest by international adoption from Korea. Adoption can be quite an ordeal and it is often very expensive. But Linda and I happily, willingly, eagerly went through the ordeal so we could have those children in our family. What we did for our children pales in comparison to the lengths God went to for us. More than anything, He wants us to come home to Him in heaven. This morning, I’m beginning two weeks of vacation. I will be going first to Texas, to gather my family, and then on to Hawaii for a family vacation. Therefore, this will be the last devotional until Monday May 19th. For the next two weeks I encourage you to review some of the devotionals from the previous month in this series about the love of God. The love of God is the most important reality in your life. I encourage you to think about it. Pray about it. Embrace it. And enjoy it. The Father is longing for you to come home to Him and experience His great love for you – forever. God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville |

Who can do it best? Who can do it better?
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” Romans 12:10 (ESV) Our thought for today: “Who can do it more? Who can do it better?” I recently came across a wonderful commentary note about the subject of showing proper honor – Biblical honor – to others. “We may think of honor as esteeming someone, but when Scripture says to give honor to one another, what does it look like in a practical way? This means that we demonstrate regard for others’ needs before attending to our own. We do this not just practically, but also spiritually and emotionally.” Let me unpack that for us: First, honoring someone is indeed esteeming them. It is a matter of seeing the other person as being worthy of respect and dignity. Second, in a practical Scriptural way, “honor” is a verb, it is an action word. Just as love is a verb and is meant to be demonstrated not just felt and not even just talked about. So too with showing honor or esteeming someone. It needs to come out in our words and actions. The esteem and respect we show them, the dignity we impart to them, should come through in our words and in the way we treat them. Third, this form of Biblically honoring someone is unselfish. Our focus is on the other person not on ourselves. And we are willing to inconvenience ourselves, perhaps even sacrifice to make the other person feel honored, respected, esteemed. And fourth, we do it with the intent of building the person up spiritually and emotionally. It is our intent for the person to walk away from this encounter feeling lifted up, encouraged, and blessed. Now, what if that was our normal church experience? And what if we were all doing it? Paul says in Romans 12:10 that our goal should be to outdo each other in the extent to which we are intentional about showing Biblical honor to each other – esteeming, respecting, blessing, lifting up, encouraging. What if every single one of us on Sunday morning was intent on being the biggest blessing to the largest number of people? What if it was a contest to see who can do it more and who can do it better? I don’t know about you but I think that would be one awesome church family and an awesome church experience (Oak Hill Baptist I’m giving you a shout-out here!) I encourage you to make honoring others something you do naturally and often. In the best Biblical sense, honor is a verb. It is an action word.

This is what makes Jesus happy
| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (CSB) Our thought for today: “This is what makes Jesus happy” Recently a good friend made me aware of a great devotional book by Dane Ortland called, “Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.” It’s a helpful study of the heart of Christ specifically intended for those who are suffering in some way, or who are struggling with guilt and just can’t let it go. Ortland’s intent is to help the reader understand the tender heart of Christ for those who are hurting. In one section, Ortland asks us to consider Hebrews 12:2 and the phrase, “For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross …” What joy was it that lay before Jesus? What was it He was looking forward to that brought joy to His heart? Surely not the cross itself. That was going to be an unspeakably evil and awful experience. The joy that lay before Him, the joy that He was looking forward to so much was what would be true after the cross. He would be at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding on our behalf (Romans 8:34) – being there for those who are hurting and suffering and struggling with guilt – the source of our comfort and relief (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus wants you to bring all your pain, grief, and woundedness to Him. It brings Him joy to forgive you, to comfort you, and to heal you. It’s why He suffered and died and then rose again. Understand this please: Jesus wants to minister to you. He wants to heal you. He wants to bring joy into your life because doing so brings joy to Him. This is what makes Him happy. Ortland describes it this way: “Christ’s “own joy, comfort, happiness, and glory are increased and enlarged by his showing grace and mercy, in pardoning, relieving, and comforting his members here on earth.” Certainly, much of the healing and helping ministry of Christ to us takes place in our own quiet times of prayer and devotions with Him. But much of it also takes place when we are gathered with our brothers and sisters. Jesus often ministers to us through each other. You are surely familiar with the old phrase, “Church isn’t a country club for saints, it’s a hospital for sinners.” Church is where we come to get well. Dr. Jesus is there, along with His multiple assistants, to lovingly attend to, comfort, and nurse back to health those who are sick at heart, those who have been wounded, those who need to heal. Today is Friday. Sunday is coming. You need to be in church and you need to bring it all to Jesus. It will put a smile on His face. It will make Him happy. He suffered so that you don’t have to. He took your guilt so that you could let it go. This is why He came to us and it is why He wants us to come to Him. This is what makes Him happy.
