Josh McDowell Youth Devotions:
Bad Things Happen to Good People
Friday, May 3, 2019

Bible Reading: James 1 :2-8
When your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

James 1:3
WHEN A TORNADO tore through Justin’s Midwestern town, it lifted houses off foundations and blew some to bits. Justin felt as if God’s harsh hand had reached down from heaven. He couldn’t see how a loving God could allow earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods to destroy homes and kill thousands of people in a swipe.

Josh McDowell Youth Devotion:
Too Late for Another Chance

Bible Reading: Hebrews 9:27-28
It is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgment. Hebrews 9:27

WHAT IF SOMEONE in hell changes his or her mind? Won’t a loving God let a repentant person loose from hell and issue a transfer to heaven? Isn’t believing in God like turning in a term paper-better late than never? No.

Josh McDowell Devotions: Steer Clear!
Steer Clear!Monday, November 1, 2018

Bible Reading: Proverbs 4:14-15
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. Proverbs 4:14-15, NIV
A WEALTHY MAN was once searching for a chauffeur to drive his limousine. Many people applied for the job, but the millionaire picked only a few to take a driving test.
The millionaire sat comfortably in the back of the limousine and told the first applicant to begin driving. As they drove along a narrow mountain road, the millionaire called to the driver, “See how close you can steer us to the edge of the cliff without falling off.” The driver, eager to show his skill, steered the expensive car within a few feet of the dangerous bluff. When they returned to the mansion, the millionaire said, “Thank you. We’ll let you know.”

Josh McDowell Devotions: The Disguise of Darkness

Reading: John 3:16-21
Those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants. John 3:21

WHEN DO YOU suppose most violent crimes are committed: during daylight hours or at night?
When do you think burglars do their work: during daylight hours or at night?
When do you imagine most vandalism (breaking windows, damaging property, and so on) happens: during daylight hours or at night?
When do you think most arsonists (people who set fire to things on purpose) do their work: during daylight hours or at night?
If you answered “at night” to all those questions, you’re correct. But why is that? Why do so many murders or muggings take place at night? Why do people wait until after dark to break windows or set fires?

CHRISTIAN YOUTH SPEAKER and author Doug Fields has shared a story of an event that happened after World War II.

Guessing Game
Wednesday, October 24, 2018

Bible Reading: Isaiah 46:3-10
To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? Isaiah 46:5

"IN THE MOOD for a quick guessing game? Let’s try it.
You already know that a pattern is a form or a model that’s imitated in making something else. For example, you may use a pattern to make a dress. You may use a cookie cutter to make cookies in a certain “pattern.” Right? Well, let’s play a guessing game about different kinds of patterns. Circle the answers you think are correct."
