When confronted with his grave sin, David confessed and repented when confronted by the prophet. Though his sin was great, his repentance and humility is an example for us, as Pastor Cameron shares today.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron looks at David's tragic attempts to cover up his sin with Bathsheba. The best time to repent is always today - attempting to hide or cover up our sin only makes things worse.

Throughout his life, David lived with one overwhelming passion - to know the Lord and dwell in His presence! Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to live with such a desire to know God and be with Him.

Through Samson's moral failure, we can be reminded of the way Jesus never failed and always overcame temptation - Samson was a strong man who was actually weak, while Jesus was a strong man who was stronger than we could ever imagine!

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at one more lesson from the life of Jepthah - Jesus is the true offering that atoned for our sins. Whereas Jepthah foolishly and needlessly offered his daughter, Jesus was the necessary once for all-time offering that forever secured the salvation of all who trust in Him!
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron looks at how Jesus did not go to the highest levels of society when choosing His disciples. Rather, He chose the lowly and the forgotten, and He is still looking for men and women like this today!

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron considers the weapons of Gideon's army - a clay jar, a torch, and a trumpet! We must always remember that our weapons are not carnal but spiritual, as Jesus will empower us with spiritual weapons for the spiritual battle we are in.
When it was time for Gideon to lead his army into battle against the Midianites, the Lord pared his forces down from 32,000 men to just 300! The Lord can save by many or by few and wants our trust to be in Him and Him alone, as Pastor Cameron shares today.
Gideon had a revelation of the Lord as Jehovah-Shalom, "The Lord our Peace." Join Pastor Cameron as we consider how Jesus can bring peace into any situation - peace is not just a quality He possesses but He is Peace!
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that Jesus is the wonderful deed worker of the fathers. The same God who did miracles before is the same God we serve today!
Gideon was a man from the weakest family in the weakest tribe of the weakest nation, yet God called Him a mighty man of valor! On today's episode, Pastor Cameron shows us how this points towards Jesus, the Savior who was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth.

Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at Jesus as the Call who awakens His people. We need His voice to break us out of our slumber!
Barak was not willing to go to battle without the presence of Deborah - we need to realize that our victory in battle only comes through Jesus! Join Pastor Cameron as he looks into Judges to remind us of the victory we have through Christ!
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that Jesus is not only a prophet, but the Prophet who speaks for God. He is an all-powerful miracle-working Prophet who reveals the Father to His people!

With the US Presidential Election tomorrow, Pastor Cameron encourages Christians that we have a responsibility to vote when we are given the opportunity to do so. Christians are called to be salt and light in the world, and voting is one small way we can influence the nation we live in.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron calls on the Church to pray for and bless their government, even if it's not the government they would have chosen. If we are spending more time mocking or criticizing our leaders than praying for them, something is wrong!
Join Pastor Cameron as we continue our series on the Church's role in government and politics - today he reminds us that the Church is worldwide and we need to be careful not to be myopic in our viewpoint. Our bonds to our brothers and sisters in Christ far outweigh our connections based on national boundaries!
There are no perfect political candidates, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today. As such, the Church would be wise to make sure we are not placing fallen men and women on a pedestal, but fully trusting in Christ!

God's call to Abraham began with 3 difficult commands, as Pastor Cameron shares with us today. We must remember that whatever He commands of us, our proper response is always faith and obedience, and we will be blessed!

Happy 4th of July from The 8 Minute Devotion!
Today we start a short series on "The Laws of Liberty", and see how all of Christ's followers can stand in the freedom that He has given us.
Love is only love if it is freely given, as Pastor Cameron discusses today. If God irresistibly forced us to love Him, there would be no real relationship, which is what God is looking for.
Pastor Cameron looks into the Scriptural commands to pursue holiness in our episode today. If we have already been unconditionally chosen for salvation or rejection, there would be no logical basis to pursue after holiness or righteousness.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron talks about God's love, goodness, and justice, and His desire for all men and women to be saved. The doctrine of unconditional election clearly clashes with God's self-revelation in Scripture.
The Father draws us and chooses us for salvation, but we still must receive His free gift, as Pastor Cameron shows us today.

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron beings unraveling the mystery of free will by showing us that God continually instructs people to choose to obey and follow Him. If we didn't have truly free will, why would be told to "choose" to follow God?
Pastor Cameron begins answering one final question in our "You Got Questions, He's Got Answers" series, by examining the issue of free will and predestination. We will discover that God's predestination is first rooted in His foreknowledge of our free choices.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron concludes answering this question with the precious truth that God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Even our most painful episodes will work for our eternal glory, whether we see the goodness here on earth or in heaven.
God doesn't only sympathize with our pain, He actively walks beside us and suffers with us. Join Pastor Cameron as He reminds us that God is with us through all of our painful and precious moments.
Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at the fact that God is always loving towards us, but love doesn't always look like what we expect. Sometimes real love leads to temporary pain, in order to bring long-term and eternal gain!
God sometimes allows evil in order to refine and purify His people, as Pastor Cameron shares today.
One of the main reasons for the pain and suffering in the world is the existence of Satan. He relentlessly wages war against mankind, as Pastor Cameron warns us.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron explains that free will must exist for real love to exist. That's the reason that God made it possible for us to sin; we could not really love Him if we were not free.
Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at the most fundamental reason there is pain and suffering in our world - the sin of mankind. It was human sin that opened the door to death and destruction for all.
One of the age-old questions people ask is this - "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Many have lost their faith pondering this same point, but this is no reason to turn away, as Pastor Cameron begins to share today!
Believers should not treat one type of sinner as worse than another, but should offer the grace, love, and compassion of Christ to all. Join Pastor Cameron as he reminds us that we all had a sinful past, but we were washed and cleansed through the grace of God - that same grace is available for all who will turn to Christ in faith and repentance!
Everyone faces different challenges and predispositions when it comes to sin, but the great encouragement is that there is always victory available in Christ! Pastor Cameron reminds us today that no matter what our temptation is, we can overcome. Our identity must not be placed in our sexual attraction, but in Christ.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron shows that though culture may change when it comes to which sins are condemned and which are celebrated, God's Word does not change! His standards and call to holy living are eternal.
Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at the fact that the Bible is consistent in its teachings on sexual purity and immorality, including homosexuality.
When Jesus spoke of sexual purity and warned against immorality, He was assuming the Old Covenant sexual ethic that had been clear from the beginning. He did not specifically condemn every illicit form of sexual activity by name, but included all these in His statements, as Pastor Cameron explains today.
When Jesus was speaking about God's intention for marriage, He went straight to the beginning. God created marriage to be the union of one man and one woman for life, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today.
The Scriptures show us that God made man in His image, male and female. God designed gender and is the author of it, as Pastor Cameron shares.
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron begins answering the question of what the Scriptures really say about issues of sexuality and gender.

God's Word is alive and active, sharper than any sword! While it is good to know the facts that prove the Bible is true, ultimately the power to convert comes from the Bible itself, and not our intellectual arguments that prove its veracity. Pastor Cameron discusses this on today's episode.

The final reason that led to Peter's failure was his fear - fear of man and fear he would be treated the same way Jesus was being treated. Pastor Cameron encourages us to keep our eyes on Jesus on today's episode.
The second reason for Peter's failure was weakness - his spirit was willing but his flesh was weak. Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to turn to the Lord for strength instead of relying on ourselves!
On today's episode, Pastor Cameron begins looking at three reasons Peter denied Christ, and also three reasons that Jesus went to the cross for all of us. The first is pride - Peter said he would never deny Christ, relying on his own strength, thus leading him to failure.
