Personal Story Of The Day
Choices Are Free, The Outcome Is Where The Price Is Paid.How sad it is when a family watches a child walk away from the faith in which he or she grew up. And worst of all is to see sadness replace the joy that child once had. One woman saw her daughter go from loving and trusting God to a life of sin and rebellion... but then back to the joy of a walking in the Lord. The daughter's sad, empty expressions during her time of running from God changed to an open, joyful happiness when she returned to fellowship with Him.
The mother said the difference was like turning on a light that dispelled the darkness. In John 10:10, we read of the contrast between the joy of life with Jesus and the anxiety of life in the realm of Satan. He comes deceptively as an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), but he wants to ruin us. He is described as a thief who steals, kills, and destroys.
However, Jesus is presented as the One who gives life... abundant life. These two realms are constantly in a battle for our hearts. We have this choice: the light of life with Christ or the depths of darkness in the devil's lair.
Life or death?
Light or darkness?
Contentment or anxiety?
Both realms call us. Whom will you choose to trust with your life?
The thief or the Saviour?
Jokes Of The Day
A man dies and goes to hell. The devil explains that there are three sectorsin hell, and that the man gets to choose where he would like to spend
eternity.
First, the man sees many people standing on their heads in fire.
Their screams convince him that he does not want to be there.

He tells the devil that he could adjust to the smell and that he liked

So the man chose the third sector for eternity. As the door slammed
shut, the man heard an announcement: "coffee break is over-everybody stand
on your head!"

A Preacher, a Priest and a Rabbi are playing golf and discussing the various
ways they work out the split of the collection plates.
The Pastor says, "At our church, we draw a 3 foot wide circle on the ground
and throw the money straight up and whatever lands outside the circle, I
keep and the rest goes to God".
The Priest, thinking himself a little more pious, says, "We use a one foot
wide circle, we also throw the money and whatever lands inside the circle
goes to me and the rest goes to our Father up in Heaven.
Then, they both look at the Rabbi. The Rabbi says, "Alright, already! We in
the Synagogue are a little different; we never got so fancy-chancy as you,
with the circle thing. However, we do throw the money high up in the air and
whatever God wants; . . . he keeps".

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free. - Psalm 119:32. References from Genesis 3:1-7.
In his Commentary on the Whole Bible, Matthew Henry said about the Fall,' It was Eve's weakness to enter into this talk with the serpent: she might have perceived by his question, that he had no good design, and should therefore have started back. Satan teaches men first to doubt, and then to deny. He promises advantage from their eating this fruit. He aims to make them discontented with their present state, as if it were not as good as it might be, and should be.'
Satan ruined himself by desiring to be like the Most High, therefore he sought to infect our first parents with the same desire, that he might gain what he had lost, through them. Many temptations were at work in Genesis 3, among them pride, discontent, and selfishness. Another leisure lesson we can take from the 'Fall' scriptures is the reminder that pleasure outside of God's will, is false pleasure. The tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom (v6).
Eve let these short-lived pleasures overrule her highest calling and lasting pleasure: obedience. Adam also fell to the same lie... both were guilty of disobeying God's will. When we seek to follow the ways of Christ in the area of leisure, we need to avoid their mistake.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." (I Cor 13:3).
I have a problem. I sometimes let my doctrine get ahead of my compassion. Without thinking, I can easily become the proverbial religious leader in the Good Samaritan, avoiding the man beaten on the road, so I won't be late for church. I know, I know. I can see you shaking your head now. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. How can he call himself a Christian?" But before you hit the "delete" button, consider that we all get distracted from the very core of our purpose and faith. It's not intentional, and sometimes it's of necessity.
We get so focused on doing what is "right", that we miss doing what is right. It reminds me of a motivational story that came out of an insurance conference at the headquarters AMP, where the top sellers met. During the trip, one salesman sold a policy to the elevator operator (late 1970's). The employee said that in all the years he worked at the building, not one salesman ever asked if he wanted insurance!
On another occasion a famous lady (newly active woman's libber) squeezed into a crowded bus. Three times a gallant gentleman attempted to rise, but the lady pushed him back into his seat each time. "None of this outmoded false chivalry," she chided. "I'm a working woman, and I can stand just as well as the next one." On his fourth attempt, the gentleman insisted and said firmly, "This time you simply must let me get out, madam. I'm seven streets past my stop now." So we miss the mark.
We get carried away with our little pet programs and hobby horses. But without love, it all means nothing. And love is why Jesus came, and why He sends us out into a world bound by hate. For "God is love" (I John 4:8). Today, before we open our mouths, may we be willing to open our hearts.
Facts Of The Day
Pitcher plants are passive hunters that capture insects by means of nectar and colour. Once lured inside, the insect slips on the plant's slippery inner surface and drowns in the rain water that has collected in its base. The pitcher plant secretes enzymes that digest the bodies, except for outer skeletons and wings, of its prey.
