A quick word on devotionals.
There is nothing wrong with using a devotional – just know there are good ones as well as ones to avoid.
Reading a devotional is good, but reading the Bible is better!
When choosing a devotional look for
- One that is written by a theologically sound author (if you aren’t sure, ask us and we’d be happy to offer advice)
- One that focuses on the Gospel and not simply behavior modification
- One that doesn’t simply refer to the Bible – but one that actually uses the Bible, points you to the Bible, and helps you understand the Bible better
- Don’t let reading a devotional become a substitute for reading the Bible
