Today’s Devotional Scripture: 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
- John 8:4-7 KJV
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
- Romans 6:1-2 KJV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. - Romans 8:1 KJV
The Message For Today (March 25, 2026):
***Audio Version For Paid members: The God of Second Chances Audio 496
We live in a society that believes that you should pay the ultimate price for things they don’t like, for disagreements, and for failures that they believe are the ultimate sin. This same society excuses away sin that you may abound in it, that you may continue in it if it’s an acceptable sin.
In a society that hates Jesus, that accuses the brethren, and desires to sift the church as wheat, remembering the Word of the Lord concerning you is important. Remembering that we serve a God who opens the door again, who loves us, who has paid the cost for our sins, and desires to see all things made new in our lives. This is the God that we serve.
We serve a God of second chances, of forgiveness, of love, of accountability, of peace, and of joy. We serve the God who turns the tables as He owns the earth and everything in it. He created the universe, the oceans, and told the land where to stop. We serve a God who created us, put breath in our lungs, and told us to be fruitful and multiply.
Knowing that we follow this God, that we love this God, and that this God loves us, is enough to just let go. It is enough to let go and intentionally shift your thinking from this world, to not be conformed to the thinking of the world, but rather be transformed by the renewing of our mind. That’s what the word tells us in Romans 12:2, in the King James Version.
God has called us to break away, to be born again, and to receive that He is God in our lives. To be reborn in spirit, to let go of the weight of yesterday, to step out of patterns and strongholds with victory. God has created us for this. He has created us for rebuilding, restoration, and resurrection in Jesus. For us to have our lives, our very hearts, our very minds rebuilt and resurrected in Christ, that we may be reborn.
That we may know the truth of who we are in Christ Jesus, forgetting those things which are behind. That’s what the Bible tells us in the word. In the King James Version, Philippians 3:13-14 states:
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14 KJV
Letting go and moving forward.
