May 20 – Don’t Drift Away

from The Daily Word · host LakeshoreCF

In today’s episode, Pastor Cory Barnes shares a devotion from Romans 1, where Paul begins painting a sobering picture of humanity apart from God. Though God has revealed Himself through creation, people chose to turn away, placing other things above Him and following their own desires instead. This message reminds listeners that when people continually reject God’s ways, they eventually experience the consequences of pursuing life apart from Him. But for those who follow Jesus, there is hope—because through Christ, believers are given the mind of Christ and are led by the grace and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Cory encourages listeners to examine their hearts and consider whether anything has taken God’s rightful place in their lives. As we continually turn our hearts back toward Him, God faithfully leads, protects, and transforms us through His presence.Today’s Reading:May 20 – Isaiah 23–27; Romans 1
