About this Forum

Daily Devotions Forum is a morning and evening devotion and interactive online Bible study based only on scriptures from the Bible. Christians anywhere in the world can read a devotion from the Bible each morning and evening and interact with believers around the world who are reading the same devotion. This forum gives participants the opportunity to post comments or questions to each other, read the remarks of other participants and even interact in "real time" over the Internet. Participating in a Bible study such as this can also benefit non-Christians as they learn what the Bible says about God, Jesus and Christianity.

Each devotion consists of a concept from the Bible with selected scriptures that expand on the theme or topic. There is no commentary to distract the reader, only the scriptures. As Christians read the verses for each morning or evening they can discuss the interpretation and application of the scriptures with other readers. This devotional format encourages Christians to read their Bible and grow in their relationship with Almighty God our heavenly Father, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as our guide and comforter.

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.

These daily devotions were 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 Bagster family. This has been adapted for the daily devotions forum by Internet Outreach Ministry. These devotions are now public domain. Therefore, there is no cost or obligation for Internet Outreach Ministry, Inc. (IOM) to incorporate them into our online ministry.

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.

Read the Daily Devotions on our Website.

The Daily Devotions are posted on the IOM website each month. Open the calendar for the entire month then on the current date click on "am" or "pm" for the morning devotion or evening devotion.

The scriptures for Daily Devotions were posted to our website in the King James version of the Bible. If you are not comfortable with the wording of 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.
