Read The Bible In a Year
Isaiah 30-31 ; Philippians 4Thoughts For The Day
I count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self. AristotleIf you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.
No matter how much you disagree with your kin, if you are a thoroughbred you will not discuss their shortcomings with the neighbors.
Motivation For The Day
A child is likely to see God as a good Father if he sees God in his father.On This Day

1967 - Che Guevara captured-A Bolivian guerrilla force led by Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara is defeated in a skirmish with a special detachment of the Bolivian army. Guevara was wounded, captured, and executed soon after. Born in Argentina, Guevara believed that a man of action could revolutionize a people. He played a pivotal role in the Cuban Revolution of 1956-59 and encouraged Fidel Castro to pursue his communist, anti-American agenda. After holding several positions in Castro's government, he disappeared from Cuba in 1965. He secretly traveled to the Congo, where he trained rebels and in 1966 resurfaced in Bolivia as leader of another guerrilla group. Since his death, Guevara has been idolized as a hero of leftist Third World revolution.
Personal Story Of The Day
It's All A Matter Of TasteI'm trying to enjoy my son-in-law's musical tastes. Steve's preferred style of music is different from what I would choose, but our goal is the same. Even though our two generations have different musical preferences at home and in church, we both share the goal of using music to rejoice in the Lord.
This reminds me of something that happened in the 6th century bc when Zerubbabel began rebuilding the temple after the Israelites returned from captivity (Ezra 3:8-13). As soon as the foundation for the new temple was laid, "all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord" (v.11). But then, while the younger generation rejoiced (v.10-11), the older generation cried (v.12).
Why the two reactions? The young crowd had never seen the glorious temple of Solomon, so they were happy with what they saw being built. The older people realized this temple wouldn't be anything like the one they remembered, so their praise was mixed with sorrow.
One heart for God, two ways to react. Generations do that sometimes. Let's thank God with a sincere heart even though we may express it differently... we do what he wants us to do. It is so sad to see people express what they want to do rather than what God wants them to do. Lasting happiness and the building of our faith are the result of keeping our mind on building the temple God's way.

After all... we are the temple of God.
Jokes Of The Day
"Pilot to tower. Out of gas three hundred miles over Atlantic. What shall I do?""Tower to pilot. Repeat after me. Our Father Who art in heaven..."
************************************
Right in the middle of the service and just before the sermon, a member of the congregation remembered she had forgotten to turn off the gas under the roast. Hurriedly she scribbled a note and passed it to the usher to give to her husband. Unfortunately, the usher misunderstood her intention and took it to the pulpit. Unfolding the note, the preacher read aloud, "Please go home and turn off the gas."
************************************
In the beginning, God created earth and rested. Then God created man and rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

Riddle Of The Day

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
That's Not FairPhilippians 2:14-15 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Biblical justice is not always fair. Our salvation itself is not based on fairness, but on love and compassion. God has given us immeasurably more than we can ever return and much more than we ever deserved. In the same way, we cannot equate justice in human relations with fairness. Instead, God's love and grace should motivate us to meet the needs of others. Some will give more than others, and some will suffer more than others. This is unfair, but it is just.
The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
[Stand therefore,] having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
Ephesians 6:15
Just as water becomes stale if it stands still, so too, does our spiritual life grow stale if it is not shared with others. Too many people seek spiritual experiences for their own sake. They believe that these emotional experiences are most important. Surely, these blessings are wonderful, but nothing compares to the experience of leading another person to salvation or restoration.

When you evaluate your own attitudes toward helping other people, are you preoccupied with what is fair? Or is the power of God in your life more important for you? Fair and unfair are based on our emotions and personal views on life. God has asked us to move outside of human standards and to apply his measures. Just as our salvation is nothing like anything we ever deserved, let us also present God's grace towards others... whether you think they are deserving or not.
It may not be fair to others that you are a shining light and favoured by God... but it is also unfair that they don't get the same chances that you get. God will decide what is fair and what is not, but it is up to us to practice what is just, whether fair or not.

To see the Holy Spirit working in someone's life, or to see people give their life to the Lord, with tears or with great discipline, is among the most profound experiences we can have. We are never as happy and energized or as near to God, as when we share the gospel with another person. Far too few Christians have experienced this... or even attempt to.
It is God's will that every believer, every soldier in His army, has the privilege of going out and winning or restoring souls for the kingdom of God. But without shoes we cannot go. However, no one else can put on our shoes. We decide whether we are willing to share the Good News with others or whether we selfishly or fearfully want to keep salvation for ourselves.

These shoes are also shoes of willingness, because Jesus never forces anyone to do anything. In Matthew 10:8 Jesus says, 'Freely you have received, freely give'. Everyone needs the mind and power that Jesus Christ exercised... and Jesus needs you and me. He has no other hands and feet than ours, but He does not force anyone to go... that is the choice we need to make!!
Facts Of The Day
