Intro

Thursday, January 22 2026
from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Have a truly great day...


Only 344 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36.

Read The Bible In a Year

Exodus 4-6; Matthew 14:22-36.

Thoughts For The Day

Wherever the Gospel is preached, no matter how crudely, there are bound to be results.

We can endure life's wrongs because we know God will make things right.

In battling evil, excess is good; for he who is moderate in announcing the truth is presenting half-truth. He conceals the other half out of fear of the people's wrath.

Motivation For The Day

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.

Personal Story Of The Day

Free From The Fears Of Our Own Judgement.

A wise man once wrote, "When love comes, fear goes." I know so many Christians who are tormented by feelings of self-doubt, worthlessness, and sinfulness. They think they must do something to make God love them more. Yet the apostle John said that "as [Jesus], so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). In other words, we share the same confidence that Jesus has in knowing that the Father loves us with perfect love. 

Because Jesus accomplished our redemption on the cross, all judgment for sin is behind Him and us, and the sin question is forever settled. We now face no condemnation as we walk in the spirit. This removes fear. For as John wrote, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear" (v18). The "fear" of which John spoke is fear of judgment. But we have nothing to fear, for "there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). 

Fear is driven out by God's "perfect love." We're forgiven for all our sins, held fast by God's love, and destined to enjoy eternal fellowship with Him, not because of anything we have done but because He has done everything for us. "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us" (1 John 4:10). That's perfect love!

By using the power of the Spirit and living in the light of this wonderful gospel, we are all free to receive all of God's blessings, which frees us even more, to serve his people with confidence rather than fear.

Jokes Of The Day

An Army base staff that was planning war games did not want to use live ammunition. Instead they informed the men: "In place of a rifle, you go 'Bang, bang'. In place of a knife you go, 'Stab, stab'.

In place of a hand grenade you go, 'Lob, lob.'"

The game was in progress when one of the soldiers saw one of the enemy. He went, "Bang, bang," but nothing happened. He ran forward and went "Stab, stab" but nothing happened. He ran back and went "Lob, lob,"but nothing happened. Finally he walked up to the enemy and said, "You are not playing fair. I went, 'Bang, bang,' and 'Stab, stab,' and 'Lob, lob,' and you haven't fallen dead yet!"

The enemy responded, "Rumble, rumble. I'm a tank."

A fellow from Brisbane walks into the gym, hops on the treadmill, and asks the trainer if he'd like to hear a good Sydney joke.

"Listen mate," he growled. "See those 2 big guys on your left? They were both backs in the blues state of origin side. And that huge fellow on your right was a world-class wrestler at Sydney Olympics. That guy in the corner was Paramattas all-time champion weight lifter. And I specialised in 3 disciplines at Sydney's sports academy. Now, are you absolutely positive you want to go ahead and tell your joke here?"

"Nah, guess not," the man replied. "I wouldn't want to have to explain it 5 times."

************************************

It was mealtime on a small airline and the flight attendant asked the passenger if he would like dinner.

"What are my choices?" he asked.

She replied, "Yes or No."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Learning To Move Forward

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, Galatians 4:4. References from Galatians 4:1-7.

Every year young Shane looked forward to his birthday... not just for the presents, but because his dad would grant him new privileges. When he turned six, his dad gave him a bicycle without training wheels so that he could ride in the driveway. When he turned seven, he was allowed to ride in front of his house. By the time he was twelve, he could ride his bike around town with his friends. 

Shane learned that proving he could handle his current level of privilege meant that his dad would grant him additional privileges as he grew older. In an attempt to clarify the point he made in the previous scripture, Paul compares the time of being under the supervision of the Law to the life of a first born child living under the care of a guardian. The child stands to inherit the estate of his parents, but he must wait until the date set by the father. The father will not allow the child to inherit the estate until he has matured into an adult. He is the son, but he is little better than the household slaves, subject to the commands of the authority set over him, until he reaches the age of maturity. 

During the age of the Law, God's people were like that child, they were heirs, but not yet in possession of the promised inheritance. Then, at the date set by the Father, Jesus was sent into the world. With the coming of Christ, the fullness of time had come. The guardian was no longer needed, and the children were no longer subject to its commands. The heirs of the promise now had the full rights of sons (v5). They had now obtained possession of the promised inheritance... the presence of the Spirit.


The Fastest Hours

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 Peter 3:3. 

Time gets away from us so easily. New year's eve came upon us so quickly, 2022 seems to have literally flown by! Where have all the minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months gone? We are already past the halfway mark of 2023. How much did we accomplish in the last year and even in the last six months? Did we meet our expectations, our goals? Or did we become complacent in our life, forgetting how quickly time leaves us, never to return, and miss out on things that could have made life easier? 

Did we serve God the way we intended? Did our New Year resolutions (if you made one) get lost in the busyness of the year? The last hour to midnight was 'the last hour' of the year. Similarly, we could be in the 'last hour' of our life... at any time, day or night. Have you done what you wanted with your life? Have you been as successful as you could have been? Have you missed out on life's luxuries? Have you stood the test of time... served the Lord with all your heart and soul as opportunities arose? 

These Questions seem so invasive. Yet, we need to ask ourselves these questions, for we know not the time nor the hour that the Lord will return for His people. Are you ready? Have you counted the cost? Are you among the eternally assured, or among the lost? Only you and God know the answer.
