Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:3–5. Some religions have food restrictions. According to the New Testament, there are no holy or unholy foods. But following a command about what we put in our mouths is easier to do than following the one that says to watch what comes out of our mouths! Words are deadly weapons. Just like we taste our food, let’s chew on our words before letting them fly.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1–3. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us to watch out for rules and teachings that go against the Bible. For example, being unmarried or avoiding certain foods doesn’t make someone more or less of a Christian! We are not under the Old Testament law—we are called to follow the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let’s ask the Lord to reveal what is fake so that we can avoid it!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1–2. There’s an old saying that we’ve all probably heard before: “What would Jesus do?” If we change that saying and instead ask ourselves about things we see, “Would Jesus do that?” we will grow in discernment. The false teachings of the world are enticing and self-gratifying. Let’s ask the Spirit for guidance and follow what is really true.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 4:1. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us about false teachers. Some people today claim to have heard words from the Lord that are actually additional—and contrary—to the Bible. If they truly did, that means God left crucial information out of His book. Did He do that? No! We won’t find truth from politicians, money-grabbers, or psychics. The complete truth is in the Word of God. Let’s study it today.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:14–16. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us of the importance of the local church. Believers in Jesus Christ are all members of His church—no matter where on earth they’re from! But we each receive encouragement and fellowship from our local churches. Let’s get involved however we can!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:14–15. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us with the truth that God is alive! When we pray, we’re not praying to a concept—we have a God who is living, listening, and answering our prayers. It dishonors God if we act as if He is dead. Jesus conquered death for us! Are we living with Him fully alive in our hearts and minds? Let's do it today.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 3:12. Do you serve in your church? Ministering to others goes against our selfish, human nature, but true greatness lies in serving, not in being served. How much we serve—singing in the choir, working with the children, or even making something for others, like Pastor Cymbala’s mother did—reflects our relationship with Christ. Let’s get involved!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:11. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to be trustworthy. People should know that we can be trusted with anything they ask of us. Gossip—breaking trust with others—does more harm to churches than outside attacks do. Let’s behave in a way worthy of trust.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:9–10. No matter your position in your church—pastor, deacon, song leader, layperson—all ministry involves serving other people. That should always be our goal as Christians. If Jesus Christ Himself washed the feet of others, we should be willing to humble ourselves and serve His people!
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:8. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala walks us through some of the gifts and callings on a deacon’s life—and on the lives of all believers. We are called to be sincere, respectable, and trustworthy. We can boldly pray about these things, asking God to guide us toward everything He has planned for us! Let’s ask the Lord to help us live as He wants us to.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:6–7. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us against pride. The devil was a high-ranking angel with no one to tempt him, yet he was so full of pride that he challenged Almighty God! Now he tries to tempt and trap us so that we will have the same judgment he does. All Christians are susceptible to pride. Let’s pray today to be so full of Christ that there will no room for any conceit.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:4–5. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala offers wisdom for families—from those who have babies to those whose children are adults. As Christians, we are called to raise our kids in the way of the Lord. And once our children are grown, though we can’t control them, we can always pray for them. If they’ve strayed, don’t give up! We should never stop praying for our families.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:2–3. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us that we cannot love God and money equally. Bickering and bitterness, stinginess and comparison all stem from loving money. Instead of storing up riches and seeking rewards here on earth, let’s turn our focus to God in heaven. Our greatest reward will be seeing Him face to face and hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (Matthew 25:21).
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 3:1–2. It wouldn’t be right for a pastor to use swear words from the pulpit! His congregation would surely lose respect for him. A pastor—or any church leader—needs to be respectable, hospitable, faithful, and teachable. Even for Christians who don’t aspire to be preachers or bishops, we should all ask the Holy Spirit to give us the attributes required of leaders so we can properly represent our God to a hurting world.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:11–15—a heavily disputed passage of Scripture. It’s all about the role of women in the church! Pastor Cymbala encourages us all to do our own biblical research and pray for insight on this challenging topic, but we shouldn't break fellowship with other believers over our varying opinions. Through the Holy Spirit, let’s seek to understand God's Word and prioritize unity and love.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:8–10. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down a tricky verse about modesty. The world screams for women to dress sensually, while certain churches stack up unreasonable requirements in the name of “modesty.” We have to look at what the Bible says. Let’s approach modesty and what we wear with a spirit of prayer, asking God for peace and guidance rather than pleasing people.
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.
