Personal Story Of The Day
All Influences Have OutcomesI'm sure that I am a Christian today because of the small but effective 'Christian' influence of my parents and grandparents in my childhood. They taught me by some life examples and from the Bible. Just as Timothy was reminded by Paul of the faith of his mother and grandmother (2 Timothy 1:5), so too I recall the faith of my mother and father.
At the end of my teens, I committed my life to walking in the spirit, living by faith, relying upon the miracles of God's power. It was necessary for me... I knew I lacked power - I knew that sin dominated me. Also, our family had some great healing needs for some to survive.
Strong influences may also come from people outside the family. I know a young man who became a good saint as a young boy because he saw the influence of Jesus Christ, in the life of his Sunday school teacher.
In Acts 16 we read that Paul and Silas sang and prayed in a Philippian jail at midnight. When an earthquake broke open the prison doors, the jailer was so terrified that he was about to commit suicide, but Paul stopped him. Seeing that the prisoners did not try to escape, the jailer fell down trembling. "What must I do to be saved?" he asked (v30).
That day he and his entire household became believers. Why? Because of the powerful influence of two men who were faithful to Christ and the power of his Gospel.
The way we live does affect others for good or for bad. This is a sobering and challenging truth that should influence the way we as Christians walk and talk.

Jokes Of The Day
In the traffic court of a large Midwestern city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer for a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to his honor that she was a schoolteacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case so she could get to the school on time.A wild gleam came into the judge's eyes. "You're a schoolteacher, eh?" he said. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. I've waited years to have a schoolteacher in this court. Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not drive through red lights' 500 times!"

In a murder trial, the defense attorney was cross-examining the coroner:
Attorney: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you listen to the heart?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren't sure the man was dead, were you?
Coroner: Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I guess it's possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.

Two Irishmen were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.

Riddle Of The Day
It starts out with four, if you cut one off 3 fall down and 5 remain. What is it ?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards. You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
"If I asked the _other_ guard, which door would he indicate
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Does the motive of a sin, its rationale, its reasons, make it any less a sin? Isn't the betrayal of the sovereignty of the Lord in our lives always a sin, regardless of the factors that drove us to betray Him? Yes! Yet we habitually defend ourselves and diminish our fault by referring to reasons why we had to do it. Often, we try to justify ourselves by some condition which preceded the sin.
To rationalize sin is to justify oneself, protecting and holding onto sin. But to see sin as God does, is to repent with a humble heart, allowing His forgiveness to cleanse us. 'Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.' Psalm 51:7.
The background for this article is King David's adultery with Bathsheba and murder of her husband, Uriah (see 2 Sam 11:12). His desired confession, prompted by a confrontation with the prophet Nathan, is recorded here.
Where did David begin in his confession? He began with God. His confession showed great faith in God's character: 'Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions'. (Psalm 51:1). He trusted in God's power to forgive sin... to blot it out and wash the sinner clean. Hyssop symbolized ritual cleansing under the Law (v7).

He trusted in God's power to forgive sin... to blot it out and wash the sinner clean. Hyssop symbolized ritual cleansing under the Law (v7).
The king's confession also demonstrated spiritual humility (Godly sorrow). He understood how much he offended God; in fact, he couldn't forget it. He grieved deeply over what he'd done... it was as though his bones had been crushed. He acknowledged the justice of God's right to judge men's sin (v4). He also acknowledged his general sinful condition (v5).
This might have caused David to despair, but instead he hoped for future joy. Based on what? God's faithful and forgiving love. Because of God's merciful character, David eagerly anticipated the joy and renewal of perfect forgiveness. He trusted that God would give him a pure, steadfast heart. His Friendship and Fellowship with God was restored!
Recognise Every Blessing
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3.
Paul rejoices and blesses God. Why? Because God has blessed us. Paul is overwhelmingly thankful to God for all He has made available to us. How much is this? It is every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. No one can understand the awesome greatness of God. No one can understand the height and the depth, the width and the length of the fullness of eternal life.
Who can measure heaven and all it encompasses? God has made all this available to us through Jesus Christ. It would take all eternity just to mention everything He has for us. Yet He says He has made all this available to us today. Not just a fraction of the blessing (which would be wonderful enough), but every blessing!

Some argue that this does not refer to material blessings but only to spiritual ones. But God does not make such a distinction. Such thoughts are not of Christian doctrine.
That blessings are spiritual means that they come from God. But they pertain to every area of life. Remember that God does not set limits. His goodness is always overflowing. His generosity is overpowering. His love and compassion are overwhelming. His creativity is endless. He knows everything, wants everything, is able to do everything and does far more than what we can ever ask or hope for.

The Scripture does not say that He will bless us; it says that He has blessed us. Because He has already blessed you, He wants you to accept, believe and receive this, and He wants you to live out your life as though this is a tangible reality. Stir up the spirit and enjoy another blessing.
