FILIPPENSE 2:5, 11

Maybe God isn’t who you think He is. Maybe He’s much better. This devotional will help identify some Christian clichés we’ve all heard that are actually unbiblical lies. These clichés may seem innocent, but are harmful to our faith and keep far too many believers stuck in spiritual immaturity. Learn to encounter these lies with the truths about God in the Bible, to bring encouragement and freedom to our lives.

’n Meerderwaardige houding kan subtiel insluip — deur trots, vergelyking of selftwyfel. In hierdie leesplan word ons deur Paulus, Petrus en Jesus self herinner dat alles wat ons het en is, genade is. Ware geestelike volwassenheid word nie gemeet aan status, prestasie of agtergrond nie, maar aan ’n nederige hart wat bereid is om ander te dien. Hierdie drie dae help jou om jou gesindheid eerlik te ondersoek, trots te herken (ook waar dit vermom is), en doelbewus onder God se kragtige hand te buig sodat Hy jou op sý tyd kan verhoog.

May God fill you with wonder and expectation as you read this letter of joy! Because these are not just Paul’s words to an ancient church—these are God’s words to you.
