Our Daily Bread (ODB) is an excellent
Scripturally based daily devotional that can enrich your time in the Word & is available
at no charge in either booklet or electronic form. There is also a daily
schedule to help keep you on track in reading "Through
the Bible in One Year". Contributors are Biblically conservative &
evangelical & include men like Dr. Haddon W. Robinson, former president of
Denver Theological Seminary.
Our Daily
Bread
can be a very effective
"EVANGELISTIC TOOL" that can be helpful to alleviate the anxiety that
often accompanies sharing the "narrow truth" (Mt
7:13-14) that Jesus Christ as
"the (ONLY)
Way & the
Truth & the
Life" (Jn
14:6). I have been giving out the quarterly edition
(single
booklet containing 3
months of devotionals available in quantity
on
request from RBC) for over 10 years & always encourage the
recipient to use the booklet as an supplement to reading the Bible, not as a
substitute for the "the
pure
milk of the
WORD,
so that by IT (they)
may
grow in
respect to
salvation" (1
Peter 2:2).
I have yet to have anyone refuse a copy of Our Daily Bread. And you will be
amazed that just taking the time to offer it
(I give it to every repairman who comes to our
house, all of my son's friends, etc) will
often open a door and allow you to make "the
most of the
opportunity", as you
let "your
speech
always be with
grace, as though
seasoned with
salt, so that you will
know
how you
should
respond to
each
person."
(Col
4:5-6) You can usually
quickly discern whether the recipient has been prepared by the Spirit (cf
Lydia
Acts 16:14)
to discuss "the
Way, & the
Truth, & the
Life".
I am convinced that the Lord used this little devotional booklet to open the
heart (Acts 16:14)
of my beloved elderly aunt to "in
humility
receive the
word
implanted, which (was)
able to
save (her)
soul" (Js
1:21) leading
her to "confess
with (her)
mouth
Jesus as
Lord, &
believe in (her)
heart that
God
raised Him from the
dead" and she was "saved" (Ro
10:9-10) just several
weeks prior to her physical death. In addition, one of my son's friends
recently received Christ and has been "on fire" since. I ask him what brought
about his miraculous release from "the slough of despond" at times even to the
point of contemplating suicide and he reminded me that one day I had given him
a copy of "Our Daily Bread" which God used to drive him to the Word, which in
turn "opened
(his)
eyes so that" (he
turned) "from
darkness to
light & from the
dominion of
Satan to
God" and
received "forgiveness
of
sins & an
inheritance
among
those who have been
sanctified by
faith in" Jesus Christ.
(Acts
26:18). So be encouraged. I do not have
the gift of evangelism and yet God used this little booklet for this young
man's eternal good &
His ineffable glory.
