[[A Psalm of praise.]] Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.Psalms 100:1
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 27-29 ; Titus 3Thoughts For The Day
Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.If you really want something, you can figure out how to make it happen.
Evangelism is nothing more than one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

Personal Story Of The Day
Don't Peter Out!The disciple Peter blew it. He sinned directly, repeatedly, even after a clear warning from Jesus Himself. Three times during the hardest night of his Lord's life, he denied even knowing Him. When the rooster crowed, realizing what he'd done, Peter went outside and wept bitterly (Luke 22:54-62). How could he be forgiven for this? Surely it was too late.
Nevertheless, it wasn't. With God, it never is. After His Resurrection, Jesus confirmed His love for Peter... instructed him to tend 'my sheep', and told him he'd die a martyrs' death (John 21:15-19).
The message of redemption, which Jesus called Peter to proclaim, is at its core a message of forgiveness (Eph. 1:7; Acts 13:38). We see this very clearly in Luke's account of the Great Commission. Before instructing Peter to take the redemptive gospel into the world, Jesus taught Peter forgiveness in his own life. In forgiving Peter, He gave him a lesson he would never forget. Keep in mind that Peter had been frequently rebuked by Jesus for other sins that he had committed.

Keep in mind that Peter had been frequently rebuked by Jesus for other sins that he had committed.
The period of time that Jesus was on the earth was not between the Old and New Testament. He was a spirit filled man living under the law. His thoughts and deeds, his words and actions were a clear message of the coming Christian lifestyle. Peter couldn't live up to the gospel until he received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
After his resurrection, Jesus did several things for His disciples. He calmed their fears. He proved His physical reality by eating some fish and inviting them to touch His wounds. Most importantly, Jesus taught them that central to the Scriptures is an understanding of how His death and resurrection fulfilled generations of prophecy. The Old and New Testaments tell one continuous story: Christ suffered, died, and rose again (Luke 24:46). This theme is woven through the whole Bible.
This life changing news must be shared! Repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations (Luke 24:47). By whom? The disciples, eyewitnesses to the events of Jesus life, would testify to the reality of the grace and mercy of God. They wouldnt go in their own strength but empowered by the promised Holy Spirit.
So then, the Old Testament sacrifices and the Cross carry a unified message... forgiveness. God offers it freely to us, but at great cost to Himself. That's the gospel. Peter learned it, lived it, and proclaimed it, and so must we. However, if we fail to walk in the spirit, we are prone to the same weakness and failure that Peter exercised. Failing to forgive others is equally as sinful as the actions of the sinner. Jesus forgives... so do we.
There are many more 'Peter's' out there waiting to be transformed by the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit.

Jokes Of The Day
A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop."I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Lets see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Pilgrim's ProgressWhen the apostle Paul was imprisoned in Rome in the early 60s, some may have thought that his ministry was over. However, God enabled Paul to write some of his most powerful letters... Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon... while in prison. About sixteen hundred years later, another man wrote powerfully from prison.
There were no indications in John Bunyan's youth that he would one day write a book that would become the best-selling book in publishing history, apart from the Bible. He grew up very poor with only minimal education. He was also, in his own words, foul-mouthed and greedy. When his own efforts to be good failed, Bunyan decided to take his fill of sin. But all the while he longed to know God.
He married a young, poor woman whose dowry consisted only of two devotional books. But these books led him to eternal riches. He began to read them and occasionally attend church. At first he only felt condemnation, but gradually, he began to learn about God's grace and forgiveness. One day, Bunyan kept hearing the words 'Thy righteousness is in heaven. Because righteousness is in Christ who is in heaven', Bunyan found the closest parallel to this expression in 1 Corinthians 1:30 'But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:'
This understanding motivated him to commit himself to a Christian lifestyle. Within four years he was preaching powerful sermons. At this time, the Church of England began to persecute independent churches. In 1661, Bunyan was imprisoned for participating in a Nonconformist church.
While in prison, Bunyan wrote several books, but the greatest was The Pilgrim's Progress, published in 1678. Much of the book's success lay in its constant appeal to biblical doctrines and language, particularly from Paul's epistles. We are not sure whether he was spirit filled, but he certainly had a better grasp of scriptural principles than many spirit filled people of today!
The Lame Man at the Gate Beautiful.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. Acts 3:9-10.
Jesus must have passed by this man many times. Now He passed by again, only this time He was present in the form of the Holy Spirit in His disciples. The rivers of living water, which began to flow on the day of Pentecost, were now flowing strongly. When Peter saw the man, he did what he had seen Jesus do. Jesus had said and promised that those who believed in Him would do the same works He had done.

Jesus had said and promised that those who believed in Him would do the same works He had done.
This is true for all believers in all times. Now things started to happen. Peter did not walk up to the lame man to offer him money. He looked at him and said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you (Acts 3:6). What did he have? He had the Holy Spirit. He had rivers of living water. He had the same Spirit, the same anointing, that had been given to Jesus when He healed the sick.
Now it was upon Peter and all the disciples. It was the same power that went out from Jesus when the woman with the issue of blood touched Him. Now it was Peter who delivered this healing power. The lame man stood up and began to run around, praising and worshiping God. And because of this miracle, many people were saved.
The Lord wants to do exactly the same today. He wants to take normal people, like you and me, and fill them with His Spirit so they can be examples of His life. Through us He can do what we never would be able to do in our own power. People do not need our natural skills or wisdom; they need a touch from the Lord by the Spirit that dwells in us. God wants to perform miracles every day. Every day there is someone who, through you, can have a supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ... the eternal high priest.
