About this Forum
This Daily Devotions
Forum is a Christian
daily devotional sponsored by Internet Outreach Ministry, Inc. (IOM).
The devotion for each morning and evening is posted in time to be
available for your morning or evening devotional time around the
world. Each devotion consists of a
scripture from the Holy Bible with selected scriptures that expand
on the theme or topic. There is no commentary to distract
the reader.
This devotional format encourages Christians to dig deeper into their Bible
and develop a closer relationship with our Father God, our Lord
Jesus Christ and our guide and comforter the Holy Spirit.
Participating in this
Christian devotional can also benefit non-Christians as they learn what the Bible says about God, Jesus and Christianity.
The topics presented in these devotional Bible studies are often
sequential from morning to morning or evening to evening. Therefore,
you can benefit from this devotional format whether your daily devotional time is
usually in the morning or in the evening. But you will gain the most
from these daily devotions. if you can set aside ten minutes or so
both
morning and evening you will gain the most from participating in
these daily devotions.
This devotional format was originally prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872) for family
devotions and published by the American Tract Society in 1875 from
the materials compiled by the family of Jonathan Bagster. It has been adapted for this forum by Internet Outreach Ministry. Because these devotions have been made
public domain there is no cost or
obligation for Internet Outreach Ministry, Inc. (IOM) to use them as
part of our online ministry.

Join the Daily
Devotions Chatroom.
The IOM Daily Devotions chatroom gives you an opportunity to meet in
"real time" with others who are
participating in these devotions and and you can ask each other
questions or share your thoughts insights in real time. The only
condition for participating in the Daily Devotions chatroom
is to read the devotion for that morning or evening first so you will be able to join in the discussion.
One benefit of these chatroom discussions that is interesting and
helpful is when the participants share the scriptures from their
favorite version of the Bible. This often
helps others gain a deeper understanding.

Reply to Daily Devotions in our Forum.
This is where you are now. This forum is probably the most practical way of
interacting with others who are participating in this devotional,
because you can read the devotions (and any replies that have been
posted) when it is convenient for you.
On this forum the format is a bit different than on the other sites.
We only post the scripture references rather than the entire text to encourage participants to
read the scriptures in your Bible.
The entire text for each of the devotions can be found on the IOM website
in the King James Version (see the next
section) but you will gain the most from the if you
read them in a version of the Bible with which you are the most familiar.

The Daily Devotions are posted on
the IOM website each month. Open the calendar for the entire month

The scriptures for Daily Devotions were posted to our website in the King James

the King James
version you could just use the website to find the
scriptures for the current devotion then read them in your own
Bible.
