Personal Story Of The Day
Removing The Barriers
People are divided by prejudices that may be racial, sexual, cultural or even geographical. One of the most noted of those in biblical times was the division between Jews and Gentiles. God addressed this division very directly in a vision for Peter. When Peter was asked to go to the home of Cornelius, a Gentile, God knew he would not go. God had to break down Peter's prejudice based on his past learning. And he got the message... God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean (v28).
Later Paul would write that Jesus 'and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us'; (Eph 2:14) and 'that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus' (Gal 3:28). Think again about the Samaritan woman. When Jesus spoke to her, He ignored religious, racial and sexual prejudices along with the disdain others showed her because of her immorality. He ignored these to give her the message of salvation.
We, too, must remove the barriers that keep us from reaching others and fellowshipping with those who are part of our church.
Jokes Of The Day
An Ford pulled alongside a Holden at the traffic lights. "Do you have a car phone?" its driver asked the man in the Holden."Of course I do," was the haughty reply.
"Do you have a fax machine?"
The Holden driver sighed. "I have that too."
"Do you have a wide screen Tv in the back?" the Ford driver wanted to know. Ashen-faced, the Holden driver sped off.
That afternoon, he had a mechanic install a wide screen Tv in his car.
A week later, the Holden driver passed the same Ford, parked on the side of the road with its windows fogged up and steam pouring out. The arrogant driver pulled over, got out of the Holden and banged on the Ford's rear window. "I want you to know that I've had a huge Tv installed," bragged the Holden driver.
The Ford driver rolled his window down and frowned at the Holden driver. "You got me out of the shower to tell me that?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Turning Sorrow To Joy
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; Psalm 30:11. References from Psalm 30.
When the United States imprisoned Japanese Americans during World WarII, some of them coped through music. In fact, swing bands popped up in all the internment camps. The music got our minds off the war and what was happening to us, said one band leader. Because we were so concerned about the music, it took our minds off the bad things. I'm sure prisoners of all kinds do this kind of thing, find some way to take your mind off of your misery. Otherwise, negativity takes over and darkness soon follows.
Making music helped Japanese Americans endure their difficult and unjust situation. At one level, it transformed grief into happiness, at least for the younger people. At a spiritual level, transforming weeping into dancing is what God is all about, as David testified in today's psalm of thanksgiving. He had wanted to replace the tabernacle with a permanent place of worship, but God had determined it would be David's son who would be given this privilege, not David (2 Sam.7). For someone who loved the Lord as passionately as he did, this must have been a cause of grief.
Later, God gave the king an opportunity to buy the land for the future temple as part of his public repentance for numbering the army, and he prepared selected building materials as well (see 1 Chron 21,22). How thrilled David must have been that God allowed him to do this! His sorrow was turned into joy. His heart was so much in this project that he even composeda psalm for a day he would never see... the day his son Solomon dedicated the finished temple.
A Living Link
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2.
Great Britain's King George V was to give the opening address at a special disarmament conference with the speech relayed by radio to the United States. As the broadcast was about to begin, a cable broke in a New York Radio station and more than a million listeners were left without sound. A junior mechanic in the station, Harold Vivien, solved the problem by picking up both ends of the cable and allowing 250 volts of electricity to pass through him harmlessly. He became a living link.
Sin causes the same problem as a broken cable. It interferes with our ability to communicate with the King of the universe. In fact, Isaiah goes so far as to say that sin separates us from God. Fortunately, a provision has been made to bridge that break. Just as Mr. Vivien became the means for communication to be restored with King George V, the Lord Jesus Christ has made the link with God so that the Holy Spirit power, reconnects us to God. The apostle Paul wrote, "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:" (Col 1:13-14).
When our sins are covered by the blood of Christ, God can communicate with us through the Spiritual promises contained in his Word. Instead of being dull, lifeless words on a page, they are infused with spiritual vitality that can change our lives. Furthermore, our own communication with God... prayer... becomes unhindered. We have the assurance that He hears us and will respond to our needs... because our link to God is permanent on this planet.
Facts Of The Day
- Can dogs see colors? no, Man's best friend is colorblind, but, fortunately, his survival does not depend upon the ability to see colors. His keen sense of smell compensates for his inability to see colors, and enables him to differentiate between things.
- Lizards in the suborder Iguania communicate by doing push-ups and other athletic displays. They convey territoriality, courtship displays, and other messages with various combinations of push-ups, body postures, head movements, and displays of colorful belly patches or throat dewlaps.
