Personal Story Of The Day
Five Hundred And A Few Years AgoIt probably wasn't the first time the young man had been outside in a thunderstorm, but this time was different, the storm was especially violent. As a bolt of lightning struck the ground nearby, the young man cried out, 'Help me, Saint Anne! I will become a monk!' And that's exactly what he did... for a while. It's hard to imagine a more intriguing figure than Martin Luther!
It seems only fitting for a bolt of lightning to speak to this amazing young man, who would change the course of the church and impact Western history. Born in Germany in 1483, Luther was raised in a devout home, at a time when there was much corruption in the Roman Catholic Church. When Luther was nearly struck by lightning in 1505, his vow to become a monk came from a sincere desire to serve God.
Luther completely dedicated himself to the church, even though he had been studying to become a lawyer. His lawyer's mind would prove invaluable as Luther studied God's Word and later sought to reform the church. The verse that changed Luther's life and also the course of history was Romans 1:17 'For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.'
As Luther reflected on this verse, he was tormented by the question of who could truly be righteous. He knew from his own life that he could not be righteous in his own strength. Day and night Luther wrestled with this verse until he finally realized (in 1515) that only by faith, which was a gift from God, could he be directed to righteousness. God's power, working though the gospel (Rom 1:16), brought salvation to those who believed and obeyed God.
Righteousness, or living a life pleasing to God, could only come from God. Until that point, Luther had tried to make himself righteous first so that he could live by faith. He had it backwards. His struggle with Romans 1 showed him that he had to begin with faith. Many have tried to adjust the history of Luther's beliefs to suit their own, but that is irrelevant. He believed in the outpouring of the spirit and understood that speaking in tongues was God's evidence.
He also knew that the Holy Spirit and its indwelling power was able to lead people into all truth. There may be many other things that Luther had wrong, but he started something which led to the great Christian revival and ultimately to the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in these latter days.
Jokes Of The Day
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?"I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"
"You're both old," he replied.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales, and stated that a
whale swallowed Jonah!.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a
human because even though it was a very large mammal, it's throat was very
small. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a
human;
it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I
will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?² The little girl replied,
"Then you ask him".

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Without Holiness No One Can See GodPursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14.
Just as the Holy Spirit desires to reveal our position in the church, He also desires to help us in our personal Christian walk. Walking with the Lord can sometimes be an up-and-down experience, but God's plan is that we gradually become more like Jesus, not only on the inside but also on the outside.
Once we are baptised and receive the Holy Spirit, our salvation continues in the form of sanctification. From the moment we become children of God we are holy before God. The word 'holy' means set apart. We are separated from the world to be set apart for God. Just as the priests and Levites were set apart for the Lord's service in the Old Testament, we, too, are a holy priesthood, set apart for God.
Sanctification requires, on the one hand, that we become separated from the world and all that harms and disrupts our spiritual life, and, on the other hand, that we submit ourselves to service unto the Lord. Sanctification also has to do with purity. The Lord cannot use unclean vessels. The vessels do not need to be perfect, but they must not be soiled.
The Lord is not concerned whether the vessel is a beautiful, ornately decorated one, or a plain, everyday vessel. Form and style are not important. What is important is whether the vessel is clean enough to be used by the Lord. Therefore the Holy Spirit, the One who cleanses us, is careful to remove everything in our lives that hinders spiritual growth (while we serve God). If we don't step out in faith... nothing happens.

We need to be cleansed each day of our life... this is done through confession and prayer before the Lord. This is the most powerful approach that we can employ; we are sanctified by our faith in Christ as we commit ourselves to the purification process. We are encouraged in the first instance to avoid sin, even to flee from it, however if weakness overtakes us, we have an advocate in Jesus Christ who cleanses us from all sin.
Being Holy in the sight of God is a very rewarding and uplifting experience... it best works on a daily basis.
