3 Things Dead Believers Wish They Could Tell You
What would previous generations of Christians say to the church today? In this daily Bible devotional, discover the urgent message that faithful believers who've gone before us want you to hear - and why your legacy matters more than you think.
The writer of Hebrews tells us we're surrounded by "a great cloud of witnesses" cheering us on. But what would they say if they could see us now? From the pioneers of The Salvation Army to the martyrs of the early church, their faithfulness still speaks - and they've got something urgent to tell you about the flame you're carrying.
In this 5-minute Christian devotional, you'll discover:
✅ Why the legacy of faithful believers still speaks today
✅ The uncomfortable truth about consumer Christianity
✅ How to shift from "What can I get?" to "What can I give?"
✅ The one question that will define your legacy
