Need sources for spiritual literature with the UR perspective

[jbertonbounds]

Help please!  I am asking for sources where I can order literature with a UR perspective.  I specifically need a daily devotional book for my family (with teen kids).  My wife reads a daily devotion with our family every morning at breakfast.  Our current devotional book is laced with ET herecy, and occasionally when my wife reads the devotion - BAM! there it is - ET!  :eek: Ugh!  Anybody know some good websites where I can find UR literature?

This is just off the cuff and the first thing that comes to mind, but for a daily devotional that is UR related, why not try the Bible?
Psalms are beautiful and proverbs should be crammed down every teens throat for their own good :laughing7:
Neither one is ET in any way. Also, any of the NT books by Paul as ET is never discussed.

Well of course I did think of writing my own devotionals straight from the scriptures, but with 3 kids still at home, time is a limitation.  And being a perfectionist, I would spend all my spare time and then some writing them.  Actually I do show things to my kids directly from the scriptures, and we have encouraged them to memorize key scriptures.  I would like to find a book of devotions that are already written, so long as they are scripturally sound.  Your suggestion of the Psalms and Proverbs is a good idea.  I learned only recently that Paul never taught ET, never mentioned hell [that is to say, modern translations of his letters never mentioned hell].  Paul's teachings are certainly good for encouraging a Christ-like lifestyle.  Thanks.

I guess I sounded a little sarcastic and I apologise. I never read devotionals. I have read a few in the past 40 years but I'd rather read the word of God then what someone else says about it. Using a devotional (IMO) also would encourage your kids to liken some person's opinion to scripture. (I know some people that treat their devotionals as scripture) Teach by example and asking questions. Encourage your kids to speak up, speak clearly, speak coherently. Then have them write their thoughts down on paper. What did the verse mean? Does it apply to them? Does the verse affect their lives, what is God trying to say to them?
If your kids can think, speak, write, putting their thoughts about God into coherent sentences and phrases, this will solidify their "God experience" and make them a stand out student.(in a good way)
The greatest "spiritual Giants" of the last 100 years or so keep a "spiritual journey journal." This, more than anything else will help them with their walk with God and hone their reading, writing, and thinking skills.
No where is it said or written that a traditional "daily devotional" is required for spiritual growth and some spititual giants never ever used one.
May God bless your efforts :Peace2:

No problem, I didn't take it as sarcasm.  I knew what you meant.  And yes, the sort of hands-on-the-Bible interactive teaching you described is good.  I certainly do teach my kids not to subscribe to man's teachings, or doctrines, but to the scriptures and the Spirit's teaching alone.  It's just that a scripturally sound devotional book can be a good guide, as are many other types of literature.  You are right, we should never use devotional books as an easy short cut or as authoritative teaching.

Your pointing out the ET "hidden" doctrine in the devotionals is a perfect example. :Peace2:

The topics are not always UR related, but seem to be a good source of blessings
