Personal Story Of The Day

The Power Of Words

It is difficult to be the one who bears unwelcome news. The TV weatherman can upset people just by predicting that it's going to rain on a long weekend. It's not his or her fault, yet the forecaster still takes the heat for bringing the message. 

On a much more serious and scriptural note, when Stephen addressed the religious leaders of Israel, he incurred their wrath because he boldly told them the truth about themselves. He criticised their ancestors and implicated the whole council in the murder of Jesus Christ. Everything he said was true. So what did they do about these factual charges against them? 

They "gnashed at him with their teeth" (Acts 7:54). They threw him out of the city and as a reward for telling them the truth, he was stoned to death (they used a scriptural punishment to repay a scriptural blessing... very hypocritical, but typical of human thinking). When we speak out for purity, righteousness, and godliness in a pleasure-loving world that is destined to self-destruct, we too will be criticised. 

But no matter what happens to us, we can call on God as Stephen did. We can take comfort in knowing that we belong to Him and that ultimately He will confirm our words.

 As God's people, let's pray that we will have the courage to tell it like it is. But let us also remember that we need to speak (Mat 10:16) as wise as serpents but as harmless as doves.

Jokes Of The Day

According to report, the U.S. has a bazooka-like gun used for firing dead chickens at aircraft windshields as a safety test. They supposedly sent one of these guns to the U.K. for the British to use.

Not long after this the British sent the U.S. a memo saying their aircraft windshields must be defective. Not only did they all fail the test but there was also considerable damage to the instruments and even some broken seats!

The U.S. reportedly replied that the chickens were to be thawed before using...

************************************

Joe had asked Bob to help him out with the deck after work, so Bob just went straight over to Joe's place. When they got to the door, Joe went straight to his wife, gave her a hug and told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed her at work.

When it was time for supper, he complimented his wife on her cooking, kissed her and told her how much he loved her.

Once they were working on the deck, Bob told Joe that he was surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Joe said that he'd started this about 6 months ago, it had revived their marriage, and things couldn't be better.

Bob thought he'd give it a go. When he got home, he gave his wife a massive hug, kissed her and told her that he loved her.

His wife burst into tears.

Bob was confused and asked why she was crying. She said, "This is the worst day of my life. First, little Billy fell off his bike and twisted his ankle. Then, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement. And now, you come home drunk!"

************************************

A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So, he decides to buy her a cell phone. She is all excited and she loves her phone. He shows her and explains to her all the features on the phone.

The next day the blonde goes shopping and to the beauty parlor. Her phone rings and it's her husband. "Hi hon," he says, "How do you like your new phone?"

"I just love it, it's so small and your voice is clear as a bell. But there's one thing I don't understand. How did you know I was at the beauty parlor?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Making your free time work.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.  Psalm 90:12. References from 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.

A British economics professor has proven that time is money. Ian Walker of Warwick University has devised a formula that he says can show people the relative values of time spent doing different activities, and thus help them make decisions. The formula is V=(W((100-t)/100))/C, where V is the value of an hour, W is a person's hourly wage, t is the tax rate, and C is the local cost of living. 

Using this formula, people can see if they're getting paid a fair rate for overtime, if it's worth it to save time by hiring someone to mow the lawn, or whether it's better to take the bus, car-share or drive ourselves.

With or without a calculator, good stewardship of time is another valuable principle to help us with our leisure decision making. Once again, we are moving against the currents of our culture, which may have given us the idea that the stewardship standards for leisure are lower than those for work, or even that stewardship works against our right to kick back and relax. 

Jesus' parable of the talents usually talks in terms of productivity about work or ministry, to the exclusion of other measures and other areas of life. So how do we evaluate our use of leisure? 

It's still about our use of time, energy, money, and other resources, but now the standard is not work accomplished by God's power, but delight experienced as God's gift.
 
Furthermore, stewardship should remind us to hold all the pleasures and beauty we experience with a generous heart... that is, not selfishly or possessively. Contentment is key. 

To this end, today's verse can become an ongoing prayer; if we learn time management, God will provide us with a heart of understanding and thanksgiving.


Heading Toward A Crash? 

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 1:24. 

The word 'crash' immediately brings to mind a car accident. But that isn't the sort of crash I'm speaking of here. In fact, it's a crash that, hopefully, many of you will never have to go through. This past week, a friend began to experience bouts of 'illness' within his computer. He knew it was getting sick, but never did he think it was about to have a 'breakdown'. Well, Thursday night, that is exactly what happened. On Friday morning, it was a 'no go'. 

There was nothing he could do to bring it to life again. It had completely crashed... 'bit the dust'! So, now, he's in the process of getting a new hard drive to replace the 'sick' one; to replace and update his drive, and perhaps it won't fail again for a long time. 

Many Christians, as they go through their spiritual life, experience bouts of crashes. Some are more evident than others, in that they fully lose their trust in God. I have no answers as to why some can become so badly negative with God. Perhaps they have been disillusioned in their experience with other Christians, the church, etc. Perhaps they fall into complacency, and just lose sight of their spiritual life. 

Whatever the reasons for their 'crash', God has a 'fix'. There is nothing too bad that the Lord can't help a person get over. We need to remember the value of repentance and the power of God's mercy. We need to experience the joy of God's salvation once again. This can only happen as we replace the faulty bits with the new bits. Change your life by stirring up the Spirit once again!!

Facts Of The Day


Birds may travel great distances on their migrations. The Arctic Tern travels from the top of the world - the Arctic, to the bottom - the Antarctic, round trip in a single year - 25,000 miles (40,000k) in all!


Television broadcasts were suspended until the end of World War II in 1945. This delayed the development of an affordable television system until the late 1940s.
