Audio - Hungering for Righteousness
People hunger for food and thirst for water, but there
is a hunger of the soul that is just as necessary to life. We need to hunger
for a right relationship with God. Only God can satisfy the hunger of the soul
for righteousness.
Devotional thoughts and comments from the staff at In Search of the Lord's Way, the television ministry of the Edmond Church of Christ in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Sunday March 24 - The Blessed Man
Audio - The Blessed Man
Since God is the source of all our blessings, we need to know whom God considers blessed. The world’s values and behaviors may seem to benefit people in this life, but God’s values bless a man forever.

Audio - But He Lied
Many people think it doesn’t matter what you believe, but this notion contains a very low view of truth. The Lord wants us to know the truth and to love the truth. We must learn to buy the truth and not sell it.

One of the ways we love God is by loving others. When the world seeks for true Christianity, they look first for a loving spirit among brethren. The great challenge of life is to love others the way Jesus loved us.

Our world has grown increasingly indifferent to God and His ways. Someone has called this the “whatever” generation that seems undisturbed about anything. We may ignore God, but no one can ignore God for long.
