Scripture Of The Day

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
Proverbs 18:24

Read The Bible In a Year

Isaiah 5-6 ; Ephesians 1

Thoughts For The Day

Throughout the Bible...when God asked a man to do something, methods, means, materials and specific directions were always provided. The man had one thing to do: obey.

Each of us has a capacity for God and an ability to relate to him in a personal way. When we do, he brings to us pardon for the past, peace for the present, and a promise for the future.

For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.

Motivation For The Day

Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.

Personal Story Of The Day

The Love Of God

Many marriages and defacto relationship are failing because of one common mistake. People falsely believe that they fall out of love, therefore they move on, regardless of the other partner. This is also one of the greatest mistakes made by those who wish to follow God. They fall out of love with their bible or the church or with God himself.

Love is much more than pleasant or devoted feeling about a person or matters of interest. Wedding vows are promises of action, not promises of feelings which are unstable and subject to swift changes. Firstly, wedding vows are promises to be united to a single person for life. They include promises of support, of loyalty and continuance, despite poverty, sickness and good and bad times. They are about doing things together, facing positive and negative forces and actions, for the entire lives of the two people. They are not about feeling good till things change.

In fact, the very reason wedding vows are given, is because time and pressure change feelings, thus guidelines are needed to keep couples in a situation where their union can survive. Because the feelings we have on any given day are subject to change and fluctuation... true love has never been about emotion or feelings. It is about actions that work, that guard the sanctity of the relationship.

The most often overlooked reality about marriage vows, is that they are given before, and to, God as well. Thus they are a pledge for life. This is what God has given us when we receive the Holy Spirit. God never falls out of love with us, but always maintains his service and support... the actions of true love.

Our service to God is via the church and its people... for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. A great example in the bible of someone who loved God yet hated the people he had to serve was Jonah. Jonah hated the Assyrians because of their evil deeds against the people of God. He firstly rejected God and headed in the opposite direction until he was willingly redirected by God himself.

Swallowed by a great fish, he was taken in the right direction and spit up on the land where he was directed to go. 120,000 people in Nineveh repented from their evil deeds and their lives were spared, because Jonah obeyed (loved God)... not because Jonah loved them by feelings, but because Jonah served them, despite his emotions.

Jokes Of The Day

Three Scientists were talking to God, "Hey God we don't need you anymore we
can make Man ourselves". God said "O really", and the scientists said, "yea,
as a matter of fact why don't we have a contest who can make a man faster
you or us", So God said "O.K". So the scientists went back to his friends
and said "we are going to have a contest with God to see who can make a man
faster Him or us". So the first scientist went out and scooped up a big pile
of dirt, just then a bolt of lightning struck the ground near the man making
him drop the pile of dirt, looking up at God he said "what"! God said, "get
your own dirt".
************************************

A conscientious minister decided to get acquainted with a new family in his congregation and called on them one spring evening. After his knock on the door, a lilting voice from within called out, "Is that you Angel?"

No, replied the minister, "but I'm from the same department."
************************************

Two older women who were rivals in a social circle met at a party.

"My dear," said the first woman "Are those real pearls?"

"They are," replied the second woman.

"Of course the only way I could tell would be for me to bite them." Smiled the first.

The second responded "Yes, but for that you would need real teeth."

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
A man was found murdered one Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis: The Wife said she was in bed reading a book. The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast. The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds. The Maid claimed she was getting the mail. The Butler claimed he polishing the silver. The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?
It was the Maid She claimed that she was getting the mail but there is no mail on a Sunday!

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Of Good Character

Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true. 3 Joh 1:12.

When others speak well of you, you have acceptance; but when the truth speaks well of you, you have character. Demetrius had it... do you? A lot has been written and said about character. Study the following words carefully then ask yourself, "Do I have character?" Character is simply confidence dressed in humility. It keeps its word, its temper and its friends.

It has a steady eye, a steady nerve, a steady tongue, and steady habits. It's silent when it has nothing to say, thoughtful and compassionate when it judges, and is always first to make amends when it's wrong. Character doesn't run scared. It's sure footed, committed, and handles whatever comes along. Character has a sense of humour. It knows that a good laugh is often the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations.

Character never makes excuses. It takes its lumps, learns from its mistakes and becomes wiser. Character knows that courtesy and good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices. It reveals a virtue that is not dependent on ancestors or money. A person of great wealth can be totally without it while the son of a cleaner may overflow with it.

Character can walk with kings yet still keep its virtue, talk with crowds yet still maintain the common touch. Everyone is comfortable with a person who has character... because they are comfortable with themselves! So, how do you measure up? Walk in the spirit... it does the hard stuff!

The Word of God... Inspired

Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. Jeremiah 36:4.

A first-grade girl was sitting next to her grandmother during the Sunday talk. Curious, she looked down at her grandmother's open Bible. In a low whisper, she asked, "Did God really write that?" "Yes," her grandmother whispered back. Looking down at the pages of the Bible again, the little girl said in amazement, "Wow! He really has neat handwriting!"

That's obviously not what we mean when we say that the Bible was written by God. Instead, Jeremiah more accurately demonstrates the process of inspiration. The words written down were spoken by Jeremiah, but they didn't originate with him.

Everything that the prophet instructed the scribe Baruch to write were words that the Lord had given to Jeremiah. God chose the content; Jeremiah was simply the instrument by which that message was recorded. When you open God's Word, remember that what you read is not the opinions or thoughts of those who wrote them. Second Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is given by "inspiration of God." Literally, this phrase means "God breathed." Nothing gives us more life than our breath. Therefore, the Bible gives us the breath of God Himself.

While the Scriptures pass through the intellect and personality of the writer, they have their origin in God. If you disagree with the Bible, you're not disagreeing with the likes of David and Paul and Jeremiah. You're disagreeing with God. As you read your Bible, never forget how special that book you hold really is. The Bible is God's personal, intimate Word to you. When you read it, you are enlivened by the breath of God. The Word of God is the breath of God.

Facts Of The Day

Nutella is a hazelnut spread made with skim milk and cocoa. It is virtually unknown in America, but European and Australian children have happily smeared it on breakfast toast for years.
