Intro

from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Good morning all......


Only 287 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Proverbs 24:17.

Read The Bible In a Year

Joshua 4-6; Luke 1:1-20.

Thoughts For The Day

Throughout the Bible...when God asked a man to do something, methods, means, materials and specific directions were always provided. The man had one thing to do: obey.

Each of us has a capacity for God and an ability to relate to him in a personal way. When we do, he brings to us pardon for the past, peace for the present, and a promise for the future.

Honesty isn't a policy, it's a state of mind.

Motivation For The Day

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

Personal Story Of The Day

There Is Still Hope

Konrad Adenauer, former chancellor of West Germany, said, "If Jesus Christ is alive, then there is hope for the world. If not, I don't see the slightest glimmer of hope on the horizon." Then he added, "I believe Christ's resurrection to be one of the best attested facts of history." 

Christ's resurrection and ours go together. 

So reasoned the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15. And if Christ didn't rise from the grave, what's left? Empty preaching (v14), false witnesses (v15), a futile faith (v17), unforgiven sins (v17), no life after death (v18), and hopelessness (v19). 

But Christ did rise from the grave. Paul asserted the proof for the resurrection in verses 1 through 11, listing many credible witnesses who saw the risen Lord: Peter (v5), 500 people (v6), all the apostles (v7), and Paul himself (v8). When the Greek philosopher Socrates lay dying, his friends asked, "Shall we live again?" He could only say, "I hope so." In contrast, if we walk in the Power of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we won't say, "I hope so" about our own resurrection. Jesus' indwelling Spirit and Power gives us absolute assurance!! 

The proof is of his doing, not our own.

Jokes Of The Day

Three guys found themselves in Hades: we will call them Brian, Bob, and Kevin, they were a little confused at their present situation, and they were startled to see a door in the wall open, and behind the door was perhaps the ugliest woman they had ever seen. She was 3'4', dirty, and her perfume smelled even worse than the Brimstone.

The voice of the Devil was heard, 'Brian, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity married to this woman!' And Brian was whisked through the door by a group of lesser demons to his torment.

This understandably shook up the other two, and so they both jumped when a second door opened, and they saw an even more disgusting example of womanhood gone wrong. She was over 7' tall, monstrous and flies circled her.

The voice of the Devil was heard, 'Bob, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity married to this woman!' And Bob, like Brian, was whisked off.

Kevin, now alone, felt understandably anxious, and feared the worst when the third door opened. And as the door inched open, he strained to see the figure of ... Cindy Crawford. Delighted, Kevin jumped up, taking in the sight of this beautiful woman. Then he heard the voice of the Devil saying:

'Cindy, you have sinned ........'

************************************

A man and a woman were just divorced, on their way out of the courthouse they are both killed by a runaway bus. In heaven, they have second thoughts about their divorce so they go to St. Peter and ask to be remarried. St. Peter said 'come back in 15 years!'

Fifteen years later they're back and a minister remarries them. Soon after they start fighting again, and want to split up. So they go back to St. Peter and ask to be divorced. St. Peter throws up his hands and says 'It took me 15 years to find a preacher up here and now you want me to find a lawyer??!!

************************************

A frog expert from the aquarium visited a third-grade class to give a talk on amphibians.

"It's easy to tell the male frogs from the female frogs," said the man, as he held up two cages. "When you feed them, the male frog will eat only female flies, and the female frog will eat only male flies."

One boy in the back of the room raised his hand. "But how do you tell which flies are male and which are female?"

"How should I know?" replied the man. "I'm a frog expert."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Anger Management

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Habakkuk 1:2. References from Job 6:1-13; 7:11-21.

Medical experts warn that repressed anger can cause headaches, nausea, or other health problems. Perhaps because of this, there are many who encourage people to stop bottling up their anger and to let it all out. The problem with this approach, however, is that anger can be very destructive... both to the angry person and to those around. So what are we to do with our anger, especially as Christians? Job can help us out here. 

Job begins his second speech by explaining why he has cried out so bitterly. When the full extent of his suffering is understood, it's no wonder he has spoken rashly (6:3). He has moved from silence (Job 2), to lament (Job 3), to anger. Part of Job's anger is no doubt in response to Eliphaz's presumptuous accusations (see Job 6:14-30). 

But more importantly, Job's anger reflects his pain at being misunderstood and his deep confusion as to what is happening to him. Whereas he had once enjoyed God's favour and fellowship, it now seems that God's arrows and terrors are aimed at him (6:4). 

Under the crushing weight of his anguish, Job once again pleads that God might take his life. The key to understanding Job's outburst is found in Job 6:10. Despite all that has happened and all that Job has said, he knows that he has not denied the Lord. There are several instructive observations to be made from this. 

First, Job communicates his anger to God. He does not turn from God or deny Him. He doesn't take out his frustrations on others. Instead, he prays that the very One whose arrows are directed at him would graciously show him mercy. 

Second, Job admits that he is angry with God. He does not understand what God is doing, and he's not afraid to let God know it. 

He doesn't pretend or try to cover his emotions. Finally, Job realises that he can't bottle up his frustration and fear (7:11). Here we find very honest, almost accusatory, words. But -and this is essential- these words reflect Job's heart; even in his anger, Job continues to talk to God.


Shine On And On

And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. 2 Kings 2:6-8. 

Serving the Lord is not just for the young. John Wesley preached until he died at age 90. As we encounter Elijah in the last few days of his ministry, we find a man still actively proclaiming the reality and glory of God. Proceeding toward his appointment with destiny and the fiery chariot of God, he demonstrated the power of God by parting the water of the Jordan. 

Even in his closing moments, Elijah dramatically revealed that the God of Israel is an awesome God. 

Christians never reach the age where they can completely "retire" from the Lord's service. Even when we may physically no longer be able to do the things we once did, God can still use us to reveal His power and gospel. Perhaps God will demonstrate His awesome power through the life experiences of His more senior saints. 

However He chooses, our latter years should be as much at His disposal as our former ones. Whatever you have left in this life, give it to God. The best may be yet to come... it certainly is for me.
