Keeping Our Focus on Things Above | August 2025 Devotional

  “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”  —Colossians 3:2–3 Thinking on Things Above: Not Mystical, But Positional In the Mid-Acts dispensational view, “thinking on things above” is not about mysticism or chasing signs and wonders—it’s about anchoring our minds in the positional truths revealed through Paul’s distinct apostleship. It’s about understanding who we are in Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery (Romans 16:25), and letting that truth shape our thoughts, decisions, and affections. “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.”  —Philippians 3:20 We are not Israel. We are not under law. We are not waiting for a kingdom to come down to earth. We are part of the Body of Christ, a heavenly people with a heavenly hope . Our blessings are “in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3), and our identity is not tied t...

The Spiritual Source of Smartphone Addiction

When it comes to understanding the spiritual nature of our smartphone addiction, we need to first of all understand that Satan is the “god of this world” today. He is also known as the “prince of the power of the air” (think not just heavenly places but also airwaves, wifi etc!). Satan is a master deceiver. Though the internet, social media and our smartphones can be used in productive ways to help spread the gospel, it can definitely also be used in unproductive and even harmful ways. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” - 2 Cor 4:4 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:’ - Eph 2:2 Satan will use several things to try to wreck our spiritual lives including: Constant Distraction At its core, smartphone add...

June Devotional: Rightly Divided Bible Study

June Devotional: Rightly Dividing the Scriptures Understanding the Bible can sometimes be challenging, but the principle of “rightly dividing the word of truth” provides a clear framework for interpretation.  “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV) Devotional:  “Rightly dividing the word of truth” involves recognizing the distinct ways God has interacted with humanity throughout history. This method, often referred to as dispensationalism , helps us understand the Bible’s overarching narrative and God’s specific instructions for different dispensations. In 2 Timothy 2:15 in the KJB, Paul urges Timothy to be diligent in his study of Scripture, ensuring he correctly interprets and applies God’s Word. This involves distinguishing between God’s instructions for Israel under the Law and His instructions for the Church the Body of Christ under grace. By doing so, we can a...
