One Faith!

For Wednesday, November 4, 2026:

Romans 10:12-13 NLT: “Everyone is included, because (in God’s eyes) there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles; God is the same Lord of all and richly blesses all who call to him. As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.”

The first believers in Jesus were all Jews. Scripture told them that God would send a Messiah, and Jesus was that man. He told John-the-Baptist’s disciples to use their eyes. Use common sense. The blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk and insanity leaves a person as demons are cast out. What does that look like to you?

Christianity was never intended to be a separate religion, but rather God’s next step in the Hebrew timeline. Jesus was the Jew’s promised Messiah, God’s solution to their sin problem. Jewish leaders at the time, not wanting to give up power and money, didn’t endorse Jesus. They were wrong, and they confused generations of Jewish progeny.

Paul wisely tells us that everyone is included, Jew or Gentile. The Messiah is for everyone! We’re all created by God, made in his image, and God sees no difference. There will not be separate Jewish sections and Christian sections in heaven. “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.” Everyone! That’s what the Bible says!

Decision Today!

For Tuesday, November 3, 2026:

John 17:9 NLT, Jesus, praying: “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.”

According to God, people on our planet can be thought of as in two distinct categories. One group has rejected God, while the other worships the Father and his Son. Believers belong to the Lord who entrusted our earthly care to his Son.

In the end, there will be no fence-sitters. Jesus said that those who are not for him are counted with those against him. God says that he can understand hot or cold, but has no time for lukewarm. Each of us needs to make a firm, irrevocable decision in favor of the Father and his Son.

We are all called to make a forever decision. Deciding in favor of Jesus would be the best choice. Today is the recommended day to secure your eternal destination. Eternity is a very long time, so be certain of your decision!

Use My Name!

For Monday, November 2, 2026:

Mark 1:23-24 NLT: “A man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out, ‘Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!’”

The voice came from inside the man, but it was the demon speaking. Jesus had yet to be identified to mankind as the Messiah or the Son of God. But demons in the supernatural world knew exactly who Jesus is – the Holy One of God! Jesus has the power to cast out the demons, thereby cleansing this man. And so the demons feared for their continued existence.

Jesus said that we are to love our neighbors, and so much of what he did falls under that heading. In this case, the demon was negatively impacting the man‘s earthly journey. Jesus saw the opportunity to be kind and helpful. He would cast out the demon, restoring sanity to the man’s life!

Time marches on in a linear fashion, and Jesus realized that he couldn’t cleanse the world by himself. So he authorized believers to make the world a better place. “Use my name,” he said. “Tell the demons to get out because Jesus of Nazareth said so!”

Unfortunately, demons aren’t on holiday. They’re still causing as much havoc as possible. God, in his wisdom, gave believers a weapon. We can use Jesus’ name to cast out the offending spirits. Your life will be greatly improved if you send the demons packing! Do it in Jesus’ name!
