Intro
Monday, January 26 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
God will be hard at work today... he may need your help.
Only 340 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 1 Thessalonians 1:5.Read The Bible In a Year
Exodus 14-15; Matthew 17.Thoughts For The Day
There will always be a part, and always a very large part of every community, that have no care but for themselves, and whose care for themselves reaches little further than impatience of immediate pain, and eagerness for the nearest good.Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

Personal Story Of The Day
To Be Believed, Is To Be Trusted
A former chairman of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants says that ethical behaviour is the foundation of business success. Speaking to an audience of business and community leaders, he said, "People want to do business with people they can trust. Trust is what makes business work. It is the foundation of the free enterprise system."
In the wake of corporate scandals and eroding public confidence, his words remind us of the value of honesty.
Without it, our lives and our work fall short of God's design. The Old Testament law says, 'You shall have honest scales, honest weights... I am the Lord your God.' (Leviticus 19:36). And the New Testament teaches that truth and honesty in all that we say and do, should characterise those who have been saved by Christ's gospel (Ephesians 4:25-28).
A good way to evaluate our daily choices is to ask ourselves: "Would I be embarrassed if I read about this in the newspaper or if my family and friends knew about it? Am I excusing or profiting by the unethical acts of other people?
Honesty is not only the best policy, it's God's policy for every aspect of our lives. Living with integrity honours and testifies of His values.
Jokes Of The Day
INVESTMENT ADVICEIf you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then traded in the cans at a redemption centre for the nickel deposit, you would have $107.00.
Given the current conditions of the economy, my advice is to is to drink heavily and recycle !

One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him.
As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, scepticism.
Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around her husband.
"A penny for your thoughts," she said.
"It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50."

Riddle Of The Day

I went into the woods and got it, I sat down to seek it, I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it.
A splinter.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
No Longer Slaves
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free. Gal 5:1. References from Galatians 5:1-6.
Paul wanted the Galatians to take up the freedom cry in a spiritual sense. The gospel message, Paul says, does not allow one to return to slavery. Yet as we have seen, anyone who thinks they will be justified by observing the Law is, in effect, enslaved by the Law.
The act of living and demonstrating the message that Jesus died and rose again to rescue sinners, means that those very people who have been rescued are no longer enslaved.
For the Gentiles to turn to the Law, as if it added something to their salvation, was to deny that they really had been rescued and set free by Jesus' death and resurrection offering. In fact, Paul goes so far as to say quite explicitly what he only hinted at earlier (4:17-18)... submitting oneself to the Law alienates one from Christ. Having spent so much time laying out and expanding on his argument for this conclusion, Paul now begins to explain other constructive implications within the gospel message.
Those who possess the Spirit look forward in hope and by faith to the time when they will be fully righteous (5:5). Likewise, the Gentiles can look toward the day of judgment with the confidence that they will be declared righteous.
There are two great errors alluded to here.
The first comes from beating ourselves up when we fail at something... which is an expression of the law's workings, as opposed to the ongoing mercy and protection of Christ.
The second is probably the more deceitful one... that is to abandon personal disciplines and responsibility, because Jesus waves the magic wand of forgiveness. The Spirit in us is a jealous spirit wishing our full attention (for our sakes). Anything less will cause us troubles, weakness and fears, which in the greater picture, will cast a shadow of doubt on our spiritual freedom.
Only a humble and faithful use of the spirit, will keep us free.
Clean Water?
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Ephesians 5:26.
Water can be pure or it can become polluted. The Word of God is like water to our bodies, and it is pure and TRUTH. John 17:17 says 'thy word is truth'. We are to live by the commandments of God. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. God gave us a new covenant by which to live when Christ was resurrected and the Holy Spirit became available at Pentecost.
The old covenant was given to Abraham by promises and we are heirs to those promises. But the new covenant has better promises than we might imagine.
God said he would put his laws in our hearts and write them on our minds! So the Word that you read and speak gets into your 'veins', flowing through every part of your body, filling it with 'purified water'... the Word... that works for you! It flows through your being, giving you the Power of God's Word.
Unlike tap water, it never has to have a filter, never has to be purified! It is the TRUTH!
