Devotionals written by Chuck Jones to encourage and build up the body of Christ.
“If we believe not, He abides faithful..” KJV. There is so much teaching out there about faith that it can get rather confusing. Sadly, much of it magnifies faith instead of the One Who is faithful. Faith is like eyesight in that you don’t know it’s working until its focused on an object outside of […]

We are called to live by faith, (by the very words that proceed from the mouth of God) and Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that faith is true SUBSTANCE. In this world of warfare it is so easy to slip into living by sight and reason, which brings a lot of fear and anxiety. God has

2Tim. 1:1 ¶ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, What an amazing and encouraging verse this is. Paul did what he did, not because it was his choice to be an Apostle, but because it was God’s choice. He was an

I think the options are really clear, either live overwhelmed or overshadowed. When Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to The Christ she asked “How” since she had not been with a man. This was impossible and I’m sure she felt overwhelmed. All of us know what it is like for God

Jesus died unclothed with His arms stretched out, exposed to a mocking world, welcoming us to His pierced heart. He gave His all for love. He held nothing

Scripture makes it very clear that God is not the author of confusion. Our Lord sits on a Throne that is high and lifted up, declaring “What Must take place.” There is a real devil, and there is real warfare that we experience daily, but be assured that if things seem confusing to you, or

Song of Solomon 7:1 says, “How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter.” Just before, in chapter 6 our relationship with Christ is described as a dance. The dance of Heaven and Earth. That is a wonderful description of what walking in the Spirit is like; dancing with Jesus. The more we grow,
Rev. 1:15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. Ezek. 1:27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant
One of the primary phrases used in the New Testament to define and describe who we are is the term, “In Christ.” Paul expresses the idea of being “In Christ,” 27 times in the book of Ephesians alone. At the heart of being “In Christ,” is a deep understanding that you are a cherished Bride,
