Intro

Saturday, February 7 2026
from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

God's grace to every one of you


Only 328 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. Psalms 5:11.

Read The Bible In a Year

Leviticus 1-3; Matthew 24:1-28.

Thoughts For The Day

Only as man brings his life into harmony with God does that life have balance and meaning. Then man finds that he is not simply a mass of evolving dirt, coming from nowhere and going nowhere.

He who angers you, controls you.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Motivation For The Day

 Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver the other gold.

Personal Story Of The Day

Twisting The Rules

Remember being young and having your parents seemingly dominate your life with rules and directions? Nobody likes rules, but we knew they were there for our benefit. I was afraid not to obey my parents' rules. I guess they instilled in me the FEAR of not obeying and the consequences I would face if I didn't. So, I lived my younger life, and today, as a matter of fact... not wanting to do something that my parents would disapprove of, or hear that I had done behind their backs. 

Not all children or people, in general, will follow rules. I know some that couldn't wait to get out from under their Mom and Dad's eyes in order to do what they wanted. It never mattered to them that, if they were caught, it would reflect on their Mom and Dad. Lots of them never gave the respect to their parents that they deserved anyway. So, what did breaking their rules matter? Respect today seems to be the number one thing with which the younger generation has a problem. A young guy told me today that you had to 'gain his respect' ... not even parents 'just' deserved it. I tried to explain that, in our culture, it was thought that you always respected the people older than you, and especially your Mom and Dad. And I think about the police... not all police are respectable, but that doesn't mean we disrespect them, for they are the law, and we are to obey the law of the land. 

Therefore, you respect the job that they do. You may not like the person, but you respect them and the job they do, just the same. I believe the people that will bend the rules in one thing, will begin to twist the rules in other things as well. If you give the enemy a small piece of your life, then he will eventually get a foothold. After that, he is in the door and it is hard to get rid of him. Rules are for a reason. God made rules. He gave us commandments to live by. And, if we break those rules, then we have sinned against God. It's a fine line that we walk, as a Christian. Bending rules is not in that equation. 

There is a narrow path that we walk, by grace and His righteousness into the Promised Land of tomorrow. And, if we bend rules, then we are not living the life that God intended. Once we have the wisdom to walk by faith in truth because we respect God, we are in the full overcoming mode of maturity.

Jokes Of The Day

When Robinson stretched out on the psychiatrist's couch, he was clearly in a bad state. "Doctor," he pleaded, voice quavering and hands twitching, "you've got to help me. I really think I'm losing my mind. I have no memory of what happened to me a year ago, nor even of a few weeks back. I can't even recall yesterday with any clarity. I can't cope with daily life - in fact, I think I'm going insane."

"Keep calm, Mr. Robinson," soothed the shrink. "I'm sure I'll be able to help you. Now tell me, how long have you had this problem?"

Robinson looked up blankly. "What problem?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

The Finishing Line.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: 1Corinthians 10:23. References from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27.

Have you ever considered what an athlete goes through to win an olympic gold medal. Most of these men and women have focused their entire lives on reaching this goal. They have been willing to eat certain foods and avoid others, schedule their lifestyle to ensure enough sleep, and undergo intense physical as well as mental training. They exercise this amount of discipline because they want their bodies to be able to respond at its peak during the competition. Few of us could ever be described as elite athletes. But we are still called to exercise self-control over our bodies and minds. 

We are running a spiritual race, and every part of our lives needs to be conforming with this goal (Rom. 12:12). In our verses today, Paul explicitly uses this athletic metaphor to discuss self-control. To begin, he stresses that our finish line brings greater rewards than a gold medal. Our eternal future is identified here (v25). Paul continues to emphasise the high stakes of self-control: if we continually fail in this way, we are discredited and our potential for success is compromised. Paul uses strong language here to describe his approach toward self-control: But I keep under (beat into subjection) my body, and bring it into subjection (slavery): (v27). 

Paul is not recommending self-harm, the practice of literally flogging oneself. He uses these intense images of beating and slavery to make sure that we understand what is at stake. We discipline our bodies, not in order to look good or win athletic glory, but so that we can serve God. After all... serving God is the finishing line!


Rejected But Never Forgotten

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Luke 6:35.

Many of you have been rejected for one thing or another. Perhaps it was by a former friend who no longer considered your friendship valuable. Or maybe you were rejected by someone you thought would make a good marriage partner. Maybe you were passed over for a promotion at work for which you were qualified. Perhaps you found a rejection slip in your email for the last assignment you sent. No matter what the rejection was, it stabbed you in your heart, just as though it was a knife. 

It hurts to be rejected by anyone or for anything. Remember how Christ was rejected in his own village. He was mocked while he hung on the cross. This was true humiliation, worse than any we could ever suffer. He knew the work he had to do to please the Father, and his own objective was to do what the Father said. He bore the shame and humiliation given him and became our Redeemer. When we suffer rejection, don't wallow in self-pity. Pick up the pieces and move on. Look to Jesus. He was sent to be our propitiator (source of mercy) [Romans 3:25 ], and to bring us peace that passeth all understanding. [Phil 4:7 ] 

Just as those of us that love GOD haven't forgotten Him, neither will He ever forget you!
