Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 40:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful
I can put my complete trust in you.
I am rescued by your amazing grace
not by my effort.
When I fall,
you lift me up.
Hallelujah!
Amen.

Live a Life Worthy of the Lord

We continually ask God
to fill you with the knowledge of his will
through all the wisdom and understanding
that the Spirit gives,
so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord
and please him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power
according to his glorious might
so that you may have great endurance
and patience,
and giving joyful thanks to the Father,
who has qualified you to share in the inheritance
of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom
of the Son he loves,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
(Psalm 90:10-12 NIV)*


This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 40:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

I waited patiently for the LORD;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
    and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
who does not look to the proud,
    to those who turn aside to false gods.
Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.
(NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 38:1-8

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful I can put my complete trust in you.
You forgive me
and cleanse me from all my sins.
I am saved by your amazing grace
not by my effort.
Amen.

     — — — —

Three That Testify

This is the one who came by water and blood—
Jesus Christ.
He did not come by water only,
but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit who testifies,
because the Spirit is the truth. 
For there are three that testify: 
the Spirit, the water and the blood;
and the three are in agreement. 
We accept human testimony,
but God’s testimony is greater
because it is the testimony of God,
which he has given about his Son.
(1 John 5:6-9 NIV)*


Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love (1 John 4:8 NIV)

The Gift of God

And God raised us up with Christ
and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
in order that in the coming ages
he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works, so that no one can boast.
(Ephesians 2:6-9 NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.

 Reading: Psalm 102:18-22

Heavenly Father,
 I thank you for your intervention in my life.
You have given me a story to tell—
a testimony to your amazing grace.
Help me to carry that testimony to a future generation—
a generation that is not yet born. 
Amen.

— — —

 Two other men, both criminals,
were also led out with him to be executed.
When they came to the place called the Skull,
they crucified him there,
along with the criminals—
one on his right, the other on his left.
Jesus said,
“Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing.”
And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

The people stood watching,
and the rulers even sneered at him.
They said,
“He saved others;
let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah,
the Chosen One.”

The soldiers also came up and mocked him.
They offered him wine vinegar and said,
“If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

There was a written notice above him,
which read:
This Is the King of the Jews.

One of the criminals
who hung there hurled insults at him:
“Aren’t you the Messiah?
Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him.
“Don’t you fear God,” he said,
“since you are under the same sentence?
We are punished justly,
for we are getting what our deeds deserve.
But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said,
“Jesus, remember me
when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him,
“Truly I tell you,
today you will be with me in paradise.”
(Luke 23:32-43, NIV)*

Today’s review of “The Soldier Who Killed a King“

An Immensely Readable Historical Fiction about Easter and the Passion of Christ. Recommended!

I’ve read this book and enjoyed it. It is biblically accurate and any dramatization never went beyond the realm of reality and plausibility. The thorough research behind the writing is quite obvious.
Kitz keeps a tight pace through the narrative and keeps it true to the spirit of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection without ever getting preachy.
I wished there were more books like this. It’s a historical fiction, for sure, but there was nothing within the fiction that would contradict what the Gospels in the Bible describe.
Best of all, the book is intended for general readership and not restricted to Christians. For anyone who would like to enjoy an immensely readable, dramatic, emotional, and accurate account of Easter and the time leading up to it, I highly recommend “The Soldier Who Killed a King.” For Christians, it’s a great read for Lent and Easter. — Fast Eddie


This biblically accurate novel is ideal for the Lent/Easter season.

by David Kitz.Psalm 52_9

Reading: Psalm 52

LORD God,
help me to always put my trust
in your unfailing love.
You are my help and refuge
in the storms of life.
Bring me through difficult days
by your grace.
Amen.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace, it will lead us home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
(Lead us home)
And Grace will lead us home.

Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders

All the believers were together

 Since you call on a Father
who judges each person’s work impartially,
live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
For you know that it was not with perishable things
such as silver or gold
that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your ancestors,
but with the precious blood of Christ,
a lamb without blemish or defect.
He was chosen before the creation of the world,
but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Through him you believe in God,
who raised him from the dead and glorified him,
and so your faith and hope are in God.
(1 Peter 1:17-21), NIV)*
