Scripture Of The Day

Numbers 3-4; Mark 3:20-35.Thoughts For The Day
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.The fact is, that to do anything worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
Courage is resistance to fear; mastery of fear - not absence of fear.

Personal Story Of The Day
The 'Needs' To Be SpiritualToo many of us spend a lifetime trying to work and have a good life at the same time. We want to build up material things and give our family everything they could ever want... especially those things we thought we lacked. We join every activity possible, run every race, and run ourselves ragged, trying to keep up with the world.
We want to leave behind a good testimony of ourselves, we want to be loved and respected. As we get older we discover those things we thought we lacked, actually contributed to building our character.
Giving our children everything stunts their growth and prevents them from developing strength and purpose of themselves. Even though we may have achieved records, reputation and tribute; it will all pass away or fade from the minds of others. The legacy that we leave behind won't matter when we meet God face to face.
The only thing that will matter is, did you receive the Holy Spirit and walk in its power? Did you seek after Him, and obey His commandments? Did you accept responsibility and work as a team member? Were you watching for His coming?
Will He say to you, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant", or will it be, "depart from me, I never knew you"? Let's remember the earlier principle. You need to identify your human shortcomings and desire to master them (character building), before the Spirit of God will move you to the next great blessing.
Jokes Of The Day
The controller working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make a 360. The pilot of the 727 complained, "Do you know it costs us two thousand dollars to make a 360 in this airplane?" Without missing a beat the controller replied, "Roger, give me four thousand dollars worth."~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PSA was following United, taxiing out for departure. PSA called the tower and said "Tower, this is United 586. We've got a little problem, so go ahead and let PSA go first." The tower promptly cleared PSA for takeoff before United had a chance to object to the impersonation.

A DC-10 had an exceedingly long landing rollout after landing with his approach speed just a little to high... San Jose Tower: "American 751 Heavy, turn right at the end if able. If not able, take the Guadalupe exit off of Highway 101 back to the airport.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7" Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure... by the way, as we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway." Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7... did you copy the report from Eastern?" Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff... and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers."

I recently took my 5 kids to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola Florida (a great museum and free admission). They have one room that is full of real cockpits for the kids to sit in. I lifted my 4 yr old daughter into one cockpit that had side by side seating for the pilot and co-pilot. When my daughter got in she said "Good - this one's two player!"

"I told the wife that for all its power and sophistication, a computer was still basically a very stupid machine that can only understand two simple instructions."
"Is that so?" she said, "Well, in that case you two should get on well together."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2. References from Romans 12:1-2; 1 John 2:15-17.
How would we answer the following question?... In what ways do you see Australians compromising the gospel? If you could use one word for your answer, what would it be? The answer is simple... "Worldliness". Many Australian Christians look no different from the world. When I look at the church, I often see little difference between non-Christians and Christians. We talk and dress the same, share the same humour, watch the same talk shows, and the list of similarities goes on and on.
Many Australians sacrifice their families to achieve material comfort.
Many seem unready to offer personal commitment... they seem to think that it will bring pain. Worldliness, especially in our leisure choices, has invaded the church. Along these lines, Romans 12:12 urges us to draw a strong contrast. Unbelievers conform to the pattern of the world, which is evil and corrupt. The whole world is a prisoner of sin (Gal 3:22). To Conform to the world means to be moulded or shaped according to the world's corrupt and godless standards.
As believers, on the other hand, we are to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God, a picture of worship and self-denial. We don't accomplish this by our own knowledge or will power, but rather our minds are transformed and renewed by the Holy Spirit. As a result, we know God's will, act in holy ways, and please Him in leisure and every other area of life. The 1John passages similarly portray love of the world and love of the Father as polar opposites (James 4:4). The former can only last temporarily; the latter lasts for eternity.
The world consists of the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does (1 John 2:16). The world is characterised by pride, covetousness, greed, vanity, and selfishness. Recently we have seen rapid changes in values and standards... what was acceptable yesterday is now wrong; what is acceptable today will be wrong or different tomorrow.
God is consistent and changes not. God gives us a much better life than anything we could ever achieve in the world... why can't Christians simply believe him and act accordingly?
Addressing controversial issues.
1. ADAM THE FIRST MAN
A common defence by man against the Word of God is the question - Who did Cain and Seth marry? Or, If Adam was the first man 6000 years ago, where do the Chinese, the Black races or the Indians come from, who often date back to tens of thousands of years ago? Genesis 1:26 tells us God said let us (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) make mankind in 'our image'. In verse 27 He made man in His image; 'male and female created He them'. In verse 28 it is stated He blessed them and told them male and female to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
The following verses tell them to have dominion over the earth and God's creation. Verse 31 And God saw everything that He had made and He had approved it completely it was very good - and there was evening and morning the sixth day the complete and end to a set period of time.
Genesis 2:1 tells us that the heavens and the earth were finished.
Verse 2 a new period of time, the seventh day where the Lord entered a time of rest from all His work which He had made.
Verse 3 The Lord also set the seventh day apart as His own and hallowed it.
Verse 7 The Lord God formed man (Adam) from the dust of the ground and made him a living soul to be enjoyed and be a companion for the Lord in His time of rest.
Verse 8 gave Adam a special place, Eden, in which to dwell.
Verses 21-23 the Scriptures tell us God takes part of Adam and makes that part into the woman, Eve.
Some Bible versions in the margin state this making of a woman as before, relating back to the sixth period of time when God first made man and woman. There appear to be two separate creations being described with two separate sets of purposes behind both. But God remained the single creator to fulfil his purposes.
The history of Israel reminds us that those chosen to reveal God to humanity failed him on many occasions.
Genesis 6:6 the Scriptures quote that God became so disillusioned with His creation that the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth and He was grieved at heart. Yet in Genesis chapter 1:31 God was completely satisfied with His creation, but ultimately Adam's transgression and mankind's further disobedience brought the Lord to the point of Noah and the flood, 1656 years from the formation of Adam.
