Scripture Of The Day
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8.Read The Bible In a Year
Deuteronomy 22-24; Mark 14:1-26.Thoughts For The Day
Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Integrity is doing the right thing even when you could 'get away' with doing something else.

Personal Story Of The Day
When Life Is The PitsWhen King David looked back on his life, he remembered some painful experiences. In Psalm 40, he remembers one especially severe difficulty; a time when he felt as if he had sunk deep into "the miry clay" (v2). In his despair David kept pleading with God for deliverance, and graciously the Lord answered his desperate cries.
Lifting him out of the "horrible pit," He set his feet on solid ground (v2). No wonder David broke out into this hymn of praise and gratitude!
As you look back on your own life, do you remember any experience when you felt as if you had fallen into a pit? Perhaps it was the pit of failure, the pit of bereavement, the pit of painful illness, the pit of dark doubt, the pit of some persistent sin. Did you keep crying out to God, and did He mercifully deliver you?
If so, are you still praising the Lord for that answer to your cries and thanking Him for His grace? Are you now walking with Him in obedient fellowship?
You can confidently trust the Lord to help you in whatever experience comes your way in the days ahead. Rejoice that in His time He can... and will... bring you through and bring you out.
Jokes Of The Day
A young woman brings home her fiance to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites the fiancee to his study for a coffee. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man. "I am a Bible scholar," he replies. "A Bible scholar. Hmmm," the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?""I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiance.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31. References from 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1.
Paul repeated two truths we have found central to this study: freedom, all things are permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Even in leisure, we are to seek the good of others (10:23-24). That's just great, you may be thinking. Even in my free time I have to worry about God's testimony and the edification of others. What about me?!
So deep runs the influence of our 'me first' culture that we might actually think this is a legitimate question. We must grasp that loving God and our neighbour will bring us all that really matters in life.
How did Paul apply these truths? Freedom meant that anything could be eaten to the glory of God, even meat sacrificed to idols. But love meant that strong believers might abstain from eating such meat under certain circumstances for the sake of those with weak consciences. While it may not be easy to distinguish between weaker believers who need a helping hand and those who are judging us based on their own convictions or choices, our priority is to seek the good of our fellow disciples.
The bottom line: Whatever you do, do it all for the 'glory of God' (10:31). Remember, God never takes a holiday from caring for and loving us.
Hear, Learn, Live
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Deuteronomy 31:11.
The attempts of children to answer questions about the Bible can be quite cute. Names and events get switched around and blended. In their innocence and youthfulness, their statements often bring a smile to one's face. The expectation is that with growth, their childish mistakes will be replaced with Christian maturity and understanding. But that does not happen automatically. Growing older physically is no guarantee of maturing spiritually.
The emphasis in Deuteronomy 31:11 on reading aloud the Word of God, is set in a time in which oral teaching was critical. Today there is easy access to the printed Word. While times have changed in that regard, the truth of verses 11-13 remains. People need to listen to, learn and live the Word of God. We must live in accordance with the lessons learned from the Bible.
Moses also emphasised the need to pass God's Word to the next generation. Verse 13 says that their children, who do not know this law, must hear it, and learn to fear the LORD your God. None of this is automatic.
Each of us must listen to and learn the Word of God so we may live it. Then, we must pass His truth on to the next generation. What are you doing to pass along God's truth to the next generation? Think hard about this and pray about what else you could be doing.
