Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “Here I am today, eighty-five years old. I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. My strength for battle and for daily tasks is now as it was then.” Joshua 14:10-11 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “You can do more and you can do it longer”   Before I tell this story let me be clear that I never served as a U.S. Navy SEAL. I emphasize that because I detest stolen valor (when someone claims a military honor which they did not really earn), and sometimes this part of my personal story has been misreported by others as me having been a Navy SEAL. I was not. But I did want to be. I wanted to be a Navy SEAL officer and I did attempt it.   At one point in my career in the Navy I applied for, was accepted into, and I did attend BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition School), which is essentially bootcamp for Navy SEALs. It’s six months of the most difficult military training in the world. And … I failed in spectacular fashion. It was embarrassing and probably even a little comical. I was not cutout to be a Navy SEAL. A pastor, maybe, but not a trained killer performing amazing feats of daring and heroism. That’s not me and I did not last long at BUDS.   However, I am glad I attempted it. And while I was there, I learned some important life-lessons that I have carried with me ever since. One of the most important of those lessons was “You can do more than you think you can, and you can do it longer than you think you can.” That’s a basic life-lesson and you will find it to be true if you’re attempting the most difficult military training in the world, or in any other challenging situation in life. If you will stick with it and push through it you will discover that you can do more than you thought you could, and you can do it longer than you thought you could.   I believe that’s the mindset the Old Testament figure Caleb approached all of life with. Caleb was one of the twelve men sent by Moses to spy-out the Promised Land, and along with Joshua, he was one of only two who came back with a positive report. He urged the people of Israel to be bold and courageous, trusting God as they faced what appeared to be an insurmountable challenge to go forward and take possession of the land God had promised them.   Caleb evidently lived his entire life with strong faith and a proactive, can-do attitude. So, in Joshua 14:10-11 we find him now eighty-five years old, still feisty, still strong and healthy, and still kicking butt and taking names. I love it! I want to be Caleb! What a healthy and productive way to approach life!   The truth is that we are all capable of doing more than we think we can, and we can do it longer than we think we can. I encourage you to be positive, be enthusiastic, and live life large – just like Caleb did.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)   Our thought for today: “A little better today than yesterday”   Should I even want to be a better man than I am, or should I simply relax and be content? Isn’t it okay to just be me, or do I have to be forever in the mode of working and striving to improve?   The quick and easy answer, and the path of least resistance, is to convince myself I’m fine just the way I am and I should just relax and be content. But is it really God’s desire for me to stay how I am and to make little or no effort to improve in any area of my life? If so, then why would I even need the Holy Spirit to be my teacher, counselor, and guide? Why would it be necessary for the Holy Spirit to mold me and shape “into” the person God wants me to be?   The truth is that we can all be better than we are, and the job of the Holy Spirit is to guide us, nudge us, and counsel us into being a better man or woman today than we were yesterday. It would be arrogant and egotistical to believe I’m fine the way I am and that there is no room for improvement. If, as we have previously discussed, I am in fact a whole person – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – more than just a physical body, more than just a brain on a stick, more than just a bundle of nerves and emotions, and even more than just a spiritual being – if I am a whole person consisting of all of that – then surely there is room for me to become stronger and better in all of those areas.   Deep down we all know that we can be more, we can be better. Unfortunately, the gap between who we are and who we should be often seems wide and insurmountable. But that’s where Jesus comes in. Philippians 4:13 is true, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If I am seeking God’s will in whatever the issue or situation is, then Christ will empower me to accomplish it. And remember that when it came to making New Years resolutions, we engaged in prayerful analysis of where we are in critical areas of life and where we should be. Then we asked the Holy Spirit to guide our thinking and to lead us to make some resolutions, followed by goals and plans to implement those resolutions. So, this is now a God-thing. Your improvement in those areas is a Holy Spirit project.   You can be better than you are. We can all be better than we are. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually better. God does want you to be living your best life, and the Holy Spirit will help you to do it. So, keep going. Make some progress today toward fulfilling those goals. If you do, you will be a little better today than you were yesterday.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “Though a righteous person falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.” Proverbs 24:16 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Fail forward”   The story goes that Thomas Edison was certain beyond a doubt that a glass bulb infused with electricity could emit light if it contained the right elements. But try and try again, he failed in his experiments to produce such a bulb. Over-and-over again he tried, and each time – nothing. But he believed in his dream and so he kept trying. Finally, after something like one thousand failed attempts, he hit upon the correct combination of elements and … the lightbulb was invented.   When questioned about his tenacity and his refusal to give-up Edison said that he had discovered one thousand ways not to make a lightbulb and then finally, he discovered the one way to make a lightbulb. All of his unsuccessful attempts were valuable learning experiences that led him to discovering the one way that did work. This reinforces the truth that learning from our failure is a crucial part of success.   Abraham Lincoln is another example of someone who persevered through numerous failures before he finally had success. He was fired from his job, defeated for a seat in the Illinois state legislature, went bankrupt in business, his fiancé died, he had a nervous breakdown, he was defeated for a seat in U.S. House of Representatives, he was defeated in an election for the U.S. Senate, he was defeated in his bid to be Vice-President, and then he won election as President of the United State and ultimately became perhaps our greatest President ever.   Failure is often a crucial element in success. We must be willing to try, try, and then to try again. That’s true regarding inventing a lightbulb or winning an election, and it’s also true with respect to successfully accomplishing our New Years resolutions. If you have stumbled in your resolution to eat better and exercise more, don’t quit. Just start again tomorrow. Likewise, if you have missed your quiet time with God for several days running, start fresh today.   One of the best books I have ever read on this matter of picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and getting back in the saddle after you have failed, is John Maxwell’s great little book “Failing Forward.” It’s all about the very thing we have been thinking about this morning, and the concept applies to all of life. When you fail, make sure you use your failure to move you forward.   Success at anything is often a series of starts and stops, good intentions and failures, followed by new resolve and another attempt. Don’t give up. The application of Proverbs 24:16 for us is that if you did prayerfully develop your resolutions under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (as we discussed), then you are on a mission from God to accomplish them and He will help you to do so.   I encourage you, even if you have tried and failed, try again. Keep at it. Don’t give up.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your billows have swept over me.” Psalm 42:7 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Follow your heart”   In Psalm 42 the unknown writer was in a season of life when he was in great distress and felt overwhelmed by his circumstances. It was within that context that he wrote in verse 7 about something deep within himself calling out for help – crying out that he was feeling overwhelmed.     There was something deep within his heart that just knew things were supposed to be different and better, and he longed for it to be so. So, he cried out to our deep and mysterious God to meet him in the middle of his need. Deep was calling to deep.   I believe this to be true of all of us who love Jesus and who follow Him as true disciples. Deep in your heart you know things can and should be different and better – and you long for it to be so. Some deep place in your heart is calling out to the deepness and richness of Jesus and you are aching for something more, longing for it.   That’s your heart speaking. Listen to it. Of course that applies to the practice of your faith, but it applies to all other areas of your life as well. Remember from earlier devotionals in this series that God created you as a whole person – body, mind, and spirit. You are a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being and God wants you to live your best life in all those areas.   Don’t you long for that – to be your best you? Deep within your heart don’t you want things to be different and better? Again, that’s your heart speaking. Listen to it. Follow it. That’s why we make the resolutions we’ve been thinking about all month. You will never achieve perfection in this lifetime, perfection comes in heaven. But you can get better. You can improve, and God will help you do it.   Some deep place in your heart is longing for, calling out for, and seeking improvement in various areas of your life. That’s a good thing. Follow it. Don’t allow yourself to be stale and stagnant. Don’t resign yourself to mediocracy. Be your best you. Follow your heart to whatever it is God has prepared for you and is calling you to.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “The enemy within”   “We have met the enemy and he is us.” That quote has been wrongly attributed to many famous people who never really said it. It actually came from the mind of cartoonist Walt Kelly who created the classic newspaper comic strip “Pogo.” Pogo and his friends were animated animals who lived in fictional “Okefenokee Swamp” and who often commented, in a humorous way, on the foibles of human nature. On this day Pogo the possum was reflecting on the truth that we humans are often our own worst enemies and we do things that are not in our own best interests.   And he was right. Our human nature is such that the biggest enemy we face in life is ourself. And the fiercest battle we fight is the one that goes on inside our head. The mind is a battlefield and if we are going to win in life, we must first win the battle going on inside our own head. How we think matters, and we frequently defeat ourselves by thinking inaccurate or defeated thoughts. Our thoughts sink us long before our circumstances do.   One of the ways to win the battle going in your mind is by means of the resolutions we have been prayerfully thinking about and making all this month. When you find ways to make your mind, body, and soul stronger, you become more confident. That then leads to more accurate and positive thoughts about yourself, which then motivate you to keep going and to try even harder. Success begets success. Make a resolution to improve in some area, develop a plan to do so, apply the discipline to get started and to keep at it, and soon you will find yourself winning the battle instead of losing it.   And the good news is that you do not have to do this alone. Remember, God wants you to live your best life. That is why, in the Bible, over-and-over again, He has given us promises like that found in Isaiah 41:10 (above). God exhorts us to remember that He is with us; He will strengthen us for the fight; and He will help us to have victory over the circumstances. Therefore, we do not fear; we are not afraid; and we do not shrink from the challenge. Instead, we do our part and we trust that God will do His part by helping and strengthening us.   “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Yes, unfortunately, that is often true. But it’s also true that you can be your own ally and asset. Rather than the enemy within you can be the ally within. You have to be part of the solution. You have to help yourself. Whatever improvements that need to be made in your life, you and God can accomplish it together. Just make sure you are being part of the solution rather than part of the problem.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “A purpose larger than yourself”   Too many people live small lives. Christians too. I’m speaking of lives that are self-absorbed and focused largely on what the individual thinks they need or want, and what they believe to be in their own best interest. These are folks who are inwardly focused. Most of them are nice people. Many of them are good husbands, wives, parents, and friends. It’s just that their lives are lived in a very small orbit with a perspective that is limited to themselves and their close circle.   “Live life large” is a better approach. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you are a globe-trotting, adventure-seeking, Indiana Jones character jumping out of airplanes and wrestling alligators in the Jungle. But it does mean that your focus extends beyond yourself and your immediate circle of family and friends. It means that you are actively involved in things that benefit other people and which make the world a better place. It means that you have a purpose in life that is larger than yourself.   For the Christian that larger purpose is summarized beautifully in Jesus’ finally instructions before ascending back up to heaven. In Acts 1:8 He told us that our mission on earth is to be His witnesses. He even told us that we would receive the power of the Holy Spirit within us to enable us to live this larger life and to effectively be on-mission with Him carrying on His work in this world.   Having a purpose in life that is larger than yourself certainly does include an intentional focus on protecting, providing for, and caring for your loved ones. It can also include preparing for and engaging in a lifetime of meaningful work in a career of some sort, as well as participation in community service organizations and other activities like that. But for the Christian the larger purpose, the living of life large, must also include an Acts 1:8 mentality. And for that, we need a good church to do it with.   Acts 1:8 gives us a model for ministry that can and should govern the life of a church. At Oak Hill Baptist we are an Acts 1:8 church. If you would like to read a description of how we have turned that into a concise and focused model for ministry that governs all aspects of our church life, let me know and I will send you a copy of it.   Being fully involved in the life and ministry of a good church that is actively on-mission with Jesus, is an excellent way for the individual Christian to live life large by having a purpose that is larger than yourself. In what ways will you be on-mission with Jesus in 2025?   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “You must not eat any detestable thing.” Deuteronomy 14:3 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Bugs, bats, and bearded vultures”   In my opinion, of all the books in the Bible, Leviticus is by far the most boring and tedious. Twenty-seven chapters of list after list of rules, regulations, and endless dos and don’ts. Boorrrriinngg ….! Especially the dietary laws. Who wants to eat a bug anyway?   Worse, Moses then goes on to repeat much of it in his closing sermon to the Jews found in Deuteronomy. Chapter fourteen is “Forbidden Practices,” and it was lifted right out of Leviticus – including reminders not to eat bugs, bats, and bearded vultures. As I was reading, I found myself wondering, “Why are we being given more of this?”  But then I came across this little gem of an editorial note in the Experiencing God Study Bible regarding these dietary laws, “God cares about his people’ physical as well as their spiritual well-being. What is God saying to you about your physical health.?” Ah. Okay. I get it. It’s in my own best interest to not eat bugs, bats, and bearded vultures. They’re not good for me.   God cares about our physical health. He wants us to take care of our body. Is God speaking to you about your physical health? We’ve been over this. Your body is a walking, talking, mobile temple of the Holy Spirit. On the cross Jesus paid the price for your immortal soul but also for your physical body (read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: “You were bought at a price, therefore honor God with your body.” You must take proper care of your body so Jesus can use it to accomplish His ministry purposes here on earth.   It’s a sad thing to watch friends and loved ones suffer from life-style induced health problems that they probably would not have had if they had taken better care of themselves. Whatever lifestyle health problem you are suffering from right now, it was probably brought on over many years of neglect. And whatever lifestyle health problems you suffer in the future, will probably be caused by the habits you have now. If you don’t take care of yourself now, you will pay for it later.   Bugs, bats, and bearded vultures. Stay away from them. They’re not good for you. God knows what He’s talking about. And that of course goes for all the other junk we ingest as well. It’s not good for us so we should stay away from it, or at least exercise moderation. Likewise, as we’ve discussed multiple times throughout this series, our body needs to be exercised, every day.   Please take care of yourself so you can stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Be smart about what you eat and get some exercise every day. We need you to stay healthy and God wants you to take care of yourself.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Whose hero are you?”   Do you have heroes? I have heroes, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’m talking about people whose example inspires you and causes you to want to be more like them. I have Biblical heroes, such as Joshua, Caleb, and Jesus. I also have leadership heroes such as Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Collin Powell, General Jim Mattis, and Admiral William McRaven. I also have ministry heroes like Billy Graham, my pastor Oren Teel, and my dear friend, deacon, and former pastor Dick DeGrow.   I believe we should all have men and women who we look up to, admire, and learn from. People in whose lives we see traits and attributes that are admirable and which we want to be true of us too. Such people inspire us to be better. And that’s important because we can all be better than we are. We can be better and we should want to better. Therefore, we should always be working on areas in our life that need improvement. The inspiring example set for us by others helps us to see what’s possible for us.   Whose example makes you want to be a better man or woman? And once you have answered that question, consider what kind of example you might be setting for others. Are you striving to live your best life? Are you an example of the difference Jesus makes in a life that is fully devoted to Him?   In Matthew 5:16, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus called for us to let our light shine before others so they can see the good things God has done in us, for us, and through us. Making and keeping New Years resolutions helps us to always be making progress towards living our best life and being the man or woman God wants us to be.   Who are your heroes – the ones who inspire you and make you want to be a better person? And, whose hero are you? What kind of example are you setting for others?   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” John 11:25-26 (NIV)   Our thought for today: “Like a turtle on a fencepost”   I read a great statement the other morning in my pastor’s devotional. The author was referring to how it is that our faith in Christ can be a source of hope and inspiration for others. He wrote, “There is something incredible about hope and placing our beliefs in something that gives us strength in the moment. We see people around us demoralized, confused, and uncertain, and yet we have the answers so many people are looking for.”   The immediate context of that quote was about the great truth of John 11:25-26. Thanks to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, those of us who have faith in Him will live for eternity even though we will at some time die physically. That assurance of life after death gives us hope and it makes all the difference in how we approach life and death. Other people should be able to see that hope in us. They should be able to see it in how we live and they should be able to hear it in the words we speak.   But not only does Jesus give us hope for the next life, but for this life as well. Remember all we have learned so far in this series about getting a fresh start in this new year. Jesus wants you to live your best life now, and He will help you to do it. Other people should be able to see that in you. As they observe you, they should be able to see the difference Jesus makes in a life that is fully committed to Him.   There’s an old saying that goes, “If you see a turtle on a fencepost, you can be sure he didn’t get there by himself.” In other words, the turtle can’t get himself up on a fencepost. Somebody must have put him there. With respect to the difference Jesus makes in our lives, we are like turtles on a fencepost, we couldn’t have gotten here by ourselves. Jesus had to help us. That means that He gets the credit for the good things other people can see in your life.   We must identify areas in our lives that need to be improved and then make resolutions, develop plans, and take the action necessary to move in the direction of improvement. We are to do it prayerfully, trusting that Jesus will help us. We do it for our own benefit, because we do want to be living our best lives. But we also do it so others can see what it looks like when Jesus helps a person to live their best life.   People all around us are confused, uncertain, and without direction. But in Christ you have purpose, focus, direction, and determination. You can be a turtle on a fencepost – a great example of the positive difference Jesus makes in a life.   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

Good morning everyone,   Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year”   Our Bible verse for today: “Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Attack it!”   Young people are supposed to learn from old people, right? Especially when it comes to life lessons and the “wisdom of age,” right? Well, yes, most of the time. But sometimes the old need to be willing to learn from the young too – and not just about things related to technology, but in terms of wisdom and life lessons as well.   A few years ago, when I was spending time with a young man to whom I was serving as a mentor, we were talking about an awkward and uncomfortable situation he knew he was going to have to face the next day. It was an upcoming encounter with someone he had not seen in a long time and their last encounter had ended in a somewhat embarrassing manner. I asked him how he was planning to approach it and without hesitation he said, “I’m going to attack it.” “I’m going to walk right up to him, smile, shake his hand, and immediately launch into a casual conversation that I’m already rehearsing in my head.” “I’m going to be outgoing and confident.” “I’m going to attack the situation.”   I was impressed with his answer. He was displaying mature wisdom by choosing that approach. I have thought about that approach often since then and I have tried to apply it in my own life. I even have a “note to self” on my desk with the words “Attack it!” as a reminder to just boldly go forward and address situations head-on. It’s the kind of confident approach God was calling for from Joshua (and from us) in Joshua 1:9. Be strong. Be courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged. God is with you. Do not shrink from the challenge. Attack that situation!   That’s good advice for dealing with any situation we face in life, including how you think about your New Years resolutions. Don’t shrink from it. Face it and deal with it. Be strong. Be courageous. Don’t make excuses. Attack it!   We are not to be fearful, timid, or hesitant as we deal with difficult situations. Be thoughtful and prayerful, yes. Prepare yourself, yes. But then go forward and boldly face it head-on and with confidence. Attack that situation!   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
