Examining Matthew 7 in the light of its immediate context, we find that Jesus is contrasting the faithful teaching he brings with the false shepherds of Israel.

The Lord gives us rest when there is discouragment in ministry.

In this passage, Paul would have us realize that even truth, that is true knowledge, becomes folly if it is employed to accopmplish an end for which it is not adapted.

Westminster Seminary California President Dr. W. Robert Godfrey continues an 8-part devotional series titled, “Seeking God with the Psalmist.”

As Christians, Jesus has given us everything we need for life and godliness. 

 In our task of theological education and preparation for the ministry we often sense a feeling of need, a desire for more.  

Through this experiential saying on hope and the heart, we gain understanding into our nature as humans, helping us to live rightly as God's redeemed people in this world.

A closer look at Jude’s exhortation. He exhorts us to “keep” ourselves in the love of God, but all the while God is the one who “keeps” us. Our contending comes within the context of his keeping. We persevere because he preserves.

How much does the world influence how we respond to personal attacks and vitriol? Wisdom literature provides us with an infrequently tried response, namely, silence.

In this President's Chapel, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey exhorts from Deuteronomy 4:1-10.

Visible results cannot serve as the basis for our confidence in ministry, for they are often deceptive or delayed. Our confidence in ministry can only come from faith in the power and promises of God.

 “Dispersion,” scattering, is a bittersweet theme. On the one hand, the Creator authorized his animate creatures and humanity, their rulers, to “fill the earth”—very good. 

The Preacher of Ecclesiastes cautions us not to be overly optimistic about wisdom and its power.  Even though wisdom works well, time and chance can spoil the benefits of wisdom and a little bit of folly can destroy wisdom’s power.

Jesus teaches us important truths about how we must enter the kingdom of God, truths that his disciples had failed to grasp.

This devotion will suggest that “steadfastness” or “perseverance” is the right notion for James 5:11, not “the patience” of Job. Furthermore, this suggests that James is referring to Canonical Job in its unity, not just the first part of Job.
