Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Thursday 23rd April 2026 Topic: Change From The Inside Out - A Change Man  Text: Acts 9:1-2   "And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem." Reflection:  The gospel is about transformation from the inside out through the power of the risen Jesus. First we must have: Personal Encounter With Jesus Act 9:1-6 Saul, Saul Why Are You Persecuting Me.  Saul was a pretty nasty guy when it came to Christians. He wasn't satisfied with attacking the church in Jerusalem, no, he wanted to destroy the church all over the world.  Luke tells us, "Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 22nd April 2026  Topic: Change From The Inside Out - Character  Text: Proverbs 1:7   "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Reflection:  Wisdoms comes when we take sin seriously. • Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. • Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. • Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. • Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. • Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. • Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. • Sloth ...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 21st April 2026  Topic: Change From The Inside Out - New Life Can Be Ours Text: Romans 6:3-5   "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:" Reflection:  Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 1 Peter 1:3-4 Praise...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Monday 20th March 2026  Topic: Change From The Inside Out - New Life From The Inside Out Text: Acts 5:19-20   "But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life." Reflection:  God is working in our lives from the inside out, not the outside in. And that is a major problem for many people who want to find God. Many believe that God works from the outside in - if we do the right things then God will go into action. Which raises a lot of questions. • What are the right things we have to do so God will accept us? • How many of the right things do we have to do to make the cut? • What if we just look like we're doing the right things - is that enough? Such is the web of religion, it's all about what we do. The good news of the resurrection is that having a new life is not about what we do - it's about w...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Thursday 16th April 2026 Topic: Change From The Inside Out - Spiritually From The Inside Out 2 Text: 1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Reflection:  When you and I came to Christ we brought a lot of junk with us. It really doesn’t matter, though, whether we came to God as adults or children really, because even if we have known God our entire lives, we collect junk all the time. That’s why the process of change in our lives is constant, because the process of collecting junk is also constant. We can hardly get through even one day without being faced with faced with all kinds of temptation to sin. In this letter John treats the sin of the Christian as a child’s offense against his father. Sin is seen, not so much in legalistic terms of debt and retribution, but as a family matter between a child and a loving, gentle father. Sanctification,...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 15th April 2026  Topic: Change From The Inside Out - Getting Better Spiritually From The Inside Out. Text: 1 John 1:9-10   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." Reflection:  A medical staff at the hospital was puzzled why a patient was not improving. The nurses were giving the proper medication. Yet, there was no improvement. The following day the nurse gave the medication and hid. Thinking the nurse had left, the patient spit it out. Too many Christians act similar when hearing the word of God. They retain it for a short time, and then spit it out. As the result, there is no improvement in their Christian life. In theological terms this is referred to as sanctification. In practical terms it is the gradual and continual process of God working in ...
