Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:8. Our anger and biases block our prayers. How can we claim to have faithful spirits of prayer if we’re holding onto grudges and contention? We can’t. We must ask the Lord to cleanse our hearts of anger and help us be peaceable.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:5–7. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages each of us to follow our individual callings. God has a plan and design for each of our lives. What people think about who’s more likely to do what doesn’t matter—if God calls you to something, you’ll succeed. Let’s focus more on what the Lord asks of us personally than on what others think of us.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:3–5. A mediator is someone who goes between the judge and the accused. When it comes to our eternity, God is the judge, and we are the accused sinners. We have no way to get into heaven on our own—but Jesus steps in as our mediator! He took our judgment upon Himself and takes our prayers to God personally! Are we living in that truth daily? Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we should be!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:3–4. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reads from the Bible that God wants everyone to be saved. That verse negates the idea that only a select few people can get saved. God loves everyone! Jesus died for all mankind! With that in mind, let’s tell others today that God loves them and has a plan for them.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:1–2. It’s hard to hear Jesus if our lives are full of worldly noise. As Christians, we are called to live godly and peaceful lives. How are others supposed to see our godliness if we’re overwhelmed by the same things they are? Let’s live for Jesus today and be lights in the dark world.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:1–2. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala dives into the importance of prayer. Even before preaching and singing, churches should be known for praying. When prayer is done with faith and sincerity, there’s no request too small, too emotional, or too specific for God. He wants to hear it all! Let’s ask Him for hearts to pray today so that our faith can stay invigorated.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:19–20. There are many things in the Bible we won’t fully understand until we get to heaven. But we can clearly understand this: we should never blaspheme God or push the envelope with sin. There is no “how far is too far” just because we’re saved by grace. We must submit ourselves to God’s plan every day—our lives will be so much better for it!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:18–19. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us to keep our consciences clean. Sometimes that means waking up in the middle of the night to ask forgiveness for something we said earlier! We have to be sensitive to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit who convicts us. When we yield to Him, we keep short accounts with God and can live with good consciences.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:18. Can you recall a time when God spoke to you? Maybe he called you during a church meeting or used another believer to speak life over you. It’s important that we remember these words and allow them to stir a fire within us. Let’s live in the light of God’s calling!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:16–17. We have so much to praise God for! He is loving, just, and so merciful. There are many people—including some of us—who would not be where they are today without the mercy and grace of God. When we think about His goodness, it’s overwhelming! Let’s take a break today to thank and praise the Lord for the amazing things He does.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:15–16. Many of us think we’re too far gone or we’ve done too much wrong for God to use us. But look at the apostle Paul’s testimony! He called himself the worst of all sinners, not to hold himself to his past, but to illustrate that if God could use him, He could use anyone. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to guide and use us today. We all have a testimony!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:15. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down the apostle Paul’s famous line, “I am the chief of sinners.” We have no righteousness on our own. But Jesus gives us His! Righteousness from Christ guards us from the condemnation that the devil wishes upon us. So Paul meant no condemnation by his statement—he knew Jesus’ righteousness was on him and he was saved by grace. Hallelujah!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:13 and 15. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reads the reason Jesus Christ came to this world: to save sinners. We are all sinners, but we can be cleansed, redeemed, and saved forever because of God’s great love for us. But that message isn’t just for church-goers—it’s for everyone! So let’s have patience with those who are deep in their sin and show them the amazing love and salvation that God freely gives.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy1:12–14. We have countless reasons to be thankful for God’s daily mercies. He may allow us to go through bleak and hard times—but as a famous preacher put it, a jeweler puts his best diamond on black velvet. That dark background illuminates the beautiful diamond, just like our trials illuminate God’s goodness and graciousness in our lives. Let’s thank Him for it all today!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:12. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us who provides our strength: God! We are called to serve the Lord with gladness—but sometimes we get run down. When we can’t imagine doing any more, we need to remember where our help comes from. God promises to give us the strength we need to do what He’s called us to. Let’s live that out today!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:9–11. As Christians, we aren’t called to live under Old Testament law. At the same time, the good news of salvation has to be prefaced with the law. Why? To bring conviction of sins. We have to know and confess our sins before we can appreciate our Savior. Let’s thank Jesus for all He has saved us from!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:7–9. Born-again Christian believers are not meant to live under the law of Moses. Saying that confuses and even angers some people! But we’re helpless to abide by every single law. Jesus died on the cross so that we could get out from legalism and law-based faith. We have to tell our Savior that we’re hopeless without Him. God is our salvation and our hope.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:5–6. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to keep the main thing front and center. Many of us have seen church people argue over the tiniest details while forgetting the simplest truth of Christianity: love Jesus and love others. When we follow this command, God can work mightily in and through us!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:5. If we were called to perfection, no one would be a Christian. We can’t act as though we perfectly have it all together—that would be hypocrisy! We can’t have clean consciences all on our own. Let’s be sincere about our shortcomings and ask the Lord to purify our hearts, cleanse our consciences, and strengthen our faith.
