Our Response—Living Without Excuse

Jul 24, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: Romans 2:1-16; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15


Devotional: God has revealed Himself through creation, Scripture, and Christ. We are without excuse. But this truth applies not only to unbelievers but to Christians as well. What will be our excuse for inconsistent church attendance, loveless living, stingy giving, or silent witness? We will give an account for how we built upon the foundation of Christ. Will our service be gold, silver, and precious stones—or wood, hay, and stubble? Truth demands a response. Rejecting it has consequences; receiving it brings life. Today, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any area where you've been making excuses rather than obeying. Sailors once navigated by fixed stars; they adjusted their course to match reality. Will you adjust your life to align with God's unchanging truth?

"The question before us is not simply, 'Do I know the truth?' The question is: 'How will I respond to the truth I have heard?'"
