Scripture Of The Day
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Psalms 4:4.Read The Bible In a Year
Genesis 33-35; Matthew 10:1-20.Thoughts For The Day
Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). Yet the apostle Paul spoke of God as One "whom no man has seen or can see" (1 Timothy 6:15-16). I have often thought about this seeming contradiction. How can we reconcile our Lord's statement with the words of Paul?Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of.

Personal Story Of The Day
There Is No Other Person Like You On The Earth... Without Exception!!
If you are ever tempted to write yourself off as insignificant among the billions of people on earth, consider this: You are a one of a kind creation of God (Psalm139:13-14). That's true even of identical twins.
There never has been, and never will be, another person exactly like you. Even more important, God values you (Matthew 6:26-30) and has gone to great lengths to show His love. The Bible says that His Son Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life for you (Galatians 2:20).
If you were to ask a loving mother of a large family which child she would be willing to give up, I'm sure she would think your question was absurd. Susannah Wesley, for example, had 19 sons and daughters. Among them were John and Charles, who spearheaded the evangelical revival in 18th-century England. Yet if you were to read the letters she wrote to each of her children, you would marvel at her concern for their unique personalities and problems. It was as if each child was her one and only offspring.
That's a picture of how much God cares about you. If you are ever tempted to wonder if He knows you exist or cares what happens to you, remember what Jesus did for you on the cross. That's how much He loves you.
Jokes Of The Day
Ridiculous but TrueAdmitting his 0-4 record is not impressive "on paper," trainers announced that Lucky, a German shepherd guide dog for the blind in Wuppertal, Germany, is available for his fifth owner. Lucky led his first owner in front of a bus, killing him. Then he led the second off the end of a pier, drowning him. He nudged his third owner off a railway platform in front of an express train, killing him. And he walked his fourth owner into heavy traffic, abandoning him to be hit and killed. The new owner won't be told of Lucky's record -- the trainers say the dog might sense nervousness "and do something silly."

Men Can Never Win
If you work too hard, you're not spending enough time with her. If you don't work hard enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favouritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain. If you don't, you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist. If you're not, you're not ambitious.

A man is speeding down the freeway when he's stopped by a police car and has to pull over.
"Do you realize you were doing 80 m.p.h. in a 60 m.p.h. zone, sir?" asks the policeman.
"That's impossible, sir, I never break the speed limit," replies the driver.
The driver's wife butts in and says, "Yes, you do, I'm always telling you to keep your speed down."
The policeman says, "I also noticed, sir, that you didn't have your seat belt on.
You put it on as I was walking over to your car."
"That is not true, sir; I always wear my seat belt," replies the driver.
"No, you don't, I'm always telling you to put your seat belt on," says the driver's wife.
"Stupid woman," the driver explodes, "can't you, just for once, keep that big, fat trap of yours shut?"
"No, you don't, I'm always telling you to put your seat belt on," says the driver's wife.
"Stupid woman," the driver explodes, "can't you, just for once, keep that big, fat trap of yours shut?"
The policeman is a bit shocked by how the driver is speaking to his wife, so he moves around to her side of the car. "Does he often speak to you like this, madam?"
"Oh, no, officer," she says, "only when he's drunk."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Paul Quoted The Power Of God As His Authority.
But I certify you (declare), brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12. References from Galatians 1:10-24.
We don't know exactly what was said by those to whom Paul is responding in this epistle, but it seems likely that they were challenging his authority. We can imagine them saying something like, 'Who gave Paul the authority to spread a gospel that extends salvation to the Gentiles, without obedience to the Law?' They might have added, 'Isn't Paul's gospel just a compromise intended to please people by making salvation available without requiring them to follow the practices prescribed in the Law?'
Paul's pointed response appeals to the highest authority... he is doing what he is doing and saying what he is saying because of his direct encounter with Jesus. His radical transformation in attitude and action (he changed from one who persecuted, to one who propagated the churches of Christ) showed beyond doubt that his appeal to the authority of Christ was genuine and not a human fabrication (1:11-12, 20-23). In the end, his encounter with Jesus resulted in praising God (1:24), a sure mark that God was at work.
Paul's appeal to Jesus is important not only because it helps him establish his authority, but also because it builds up the confidence of those who read his letter, both then and now. As Christians, we are committed to the belief that God speaks in all of Scripture. We are committed to the authority and truth of what we now call the Old Testament. Yet a little reading in the Old Testament raises the issue of how Gentiles can be acceptable to God apart from obedience to the Law prescribed there. cont...
Uninvited Guest?
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
I hate pain. I've had some in my back, beneath my shoulder blade for the past couple of days. I just told someone, this morning, that it looked like the pain had 'taken up residence'! How often do we let things 'take residence' in our body? What about the pain associated with lost friendships, or, perhaps, lost relatives? What about depression that sometimes overwhelms life? All of these things, and more, can just 'move right in', and we don't realise that it can be prevented.
God's Word provides the 'medicine' to take care of all the things that just move in to 'take residence' in our body. But when we are hit with these things, we seldom remember that God provides a way of escape for all the cares of this life. We've been programmed to worry. Stress in our lives sometimes makes us depressed, and it just seems normal. Well, it's not normal, nor does God want us depressed or bothered with any number of things that life lets 'take residence' in our bodies!
So, this morning, if you are having problems with 'illegal residents' in your body, why not get out the WORD, put on the full armour of God, and start fighting back!! Those hurts and pains and negative thoughts do not have to get you down!! The best medicine for it all is the WORD! God gave us the Word through His Son, and it's our HANDBOOK to a great life, because it reveals how to use the power of God effectively!
Facts Of The Day
Hurricanes, tornadoes and bigger bodies of water always go clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. This directional spinning has to do with the rotation of the earth and is called the Coriolis force.
