When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Men take only their needs into consideration, never their abilities.

Personal Story Of The Day
If Jesus Is The Answer... What Is The Question?
My earliest meaningful experience of death occurred as a four-year-old when our pet budgy died. How could our little feathered friend be there one day and gone the next. He was one of the family, flapping around the room, eating some seed at the table as we sat and talked.
My heart was inconsolable. It didn't add up that something you love, sometimes without appreciation, could be just gone forever. My mind had its first taste of the fragility of life and lost love.
However, the resurrection of Jesus is no little matter... it's a historical, well attested fact. Indeed, it's an eternal fact! Jesus declared, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore" (Revelation 1:18). Jesus spoke to His disciples about His own resurrection and reassured them, "Because I live, ye will live also" (John 14:19). And Paul wrote of the Christian's resurrection, teaching that when a fellow believer dies, we don't need to sorrow as those who have no hope (1Thessalonians 4:13).
When Lazarus died, Jesus assured Martha that whoever believes in Him, though he dies, shall live again (John 11:25-26). He then asked, "Do you believe this?" Martha replied, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God" (v27). How confidently would you answer?
Jokes Of The Day
A group of young children were sitting in a circle with their teacher.She was going around in turn asking them all questions.
"Davy, what noise does a cow make?"
"It goes moo, miss"
"Alice, what noise does a cat make?"
"It goes meow, miss"
"Jamie, what sound does a lamb make?"
"It goes baaa, miss"
"Jennifer, what sound does a mouse make?"
"Errr.., it goes.. click!"

The Earthworm
My daughter-in-law Alma and grandson Eddy were digging for fishing bait in my garden. Uncovering a many-legged creature, Eddy proudly dangled it before his mother.
"No, honey, he won't do for bait," his mother said. "He's not an earthworm."
"He's not?" Eddy asked, his eyes wide. "What planet is he from?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
When The Fruit Becomes Clear
They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:21. References Galatians 5:19-21.
A young couple bought their first home last winter in a Victorian rural area. As spring came, they discovered that they had half a dozen beautiful flowering trees on their property. Guessing that they were fruit trees, they began to plan what they might do with all the fruit they could gather that summer.
There was one problem: they couldn't tell what kind of fruit trees they had. Were they cherry, apple, plum or pear? Until the fruit actually arrived, they weren't sure.
Scripture uses this principle from nature to describe the difference between believers and unbelievers. Those who are led by the Spirit are not under the Law (5:18). Paul makes the same point in v23... the Law can pronounce no judgment against, nor levy any curse upon, those whose lives are characterised by the fruit of the Spirit.
However, those living under the power of the sinful nature show by their deeds that they have not believed the gospel message. They remain enslaved to the powers of this evil age and will not receive a share in the inheritance of God's kingdom.
Is it possible to distinguish between the heirs of the kingdom and the slaves of this evil age? Paul answers, Yes. He says, in effect, exactly what Jesus said... 'By their fruit you will know them'. (see Matt. 7:15-23). He lays out a pattern by which we might discern the reign of the sinful nature. Paul's list of sins shows us what this rule looks like. It can be seen in sexual immorality, idolatry, witchcraft, jealousy, rage, and selfishness.
We see it wherever people delight in stirring up trouble and causing factions. Envy, drunkenness, etc., signify the presence of the power of this sinful rule. perhaps the most obvious is simply the lack of support of those who God has placed in our fellowship and care.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Matthew 13:23.
Have you ever noticed how anxious and excited a pet dog can get around meal time? Every little sound and every recognised movement sees the expectant dog, twitching and groaning until his meal is finally put before him.
Once he gets the nod, a miniature feeding frenzy begins. After the bowl is empty, then the lip licking and face licking begins. After this he goes back to his bowl and gives it a few more licks just in case he missed something.
As Christians, we need to be diligent about 'feeding' from the Word. Like our pet dog, it should be our desire to 'get full' before stopping to do something else. But many times, we are in a hurry and we only stay to get a sampling of the food from the Word... not enough to sustain us through the hard times. We should strive diligently to heed the Word and keep his commandments and walk in His Ways. [Joshua 22:5]
Studying the Word daily will help us reach this goal. Praying daily will give us momentum and upholding the saints completes the meal... bon appetite!
