Every day, we have an opportunity to discover more about God and respond to his invitation to live in love and experience freedom. The Daily Invitation outlines the many ways scripture calls us to know and follow God. By reflecting on these promises, believers are called to receive God’s gift of grace, seek him earnestly, and surrender their lives completely to Jesus.

  • “Some of these daily devotions have hit me straight on. They have helped me in the process of renewing my mind on Godly living while serving Him. I look forward for the next day devotion to keep abiding in Jesus.”

  • “I was in my quiet time when I heard an incoming text notification. I usually do not look when in my quiet time, but this time, I didn't hesitate to look at my phone. It was your devotional sent moments ago. I'm speechless...all I can say is Glory to God. I needed to hear this.”

  • “How I needed this today. I sometimes forget that I can lean on Him for all my worries and cares. I take everything on myself when I don't have to.”

What Happens When The Music Fades Back In?

As much as I love the praise and worship movement, giving my heart and passion to the vision, I’ve become increasingly aware of how narrowly it focuses my attention. I’m getting glimpses of alternative liturgies that pull my heart to Christ, and it’s convicting me of the walls I’ve put around God’s presence.

The good news is that more people are willingly engaging in what looks like passionate worship. The danger is that when passionate outward worship becomes normalized in the culture, it becomes harder to discern true worship from false worship.
