Happy days are here again


Only 248 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psalms 1:1

Read The Bible In a Year

1 Kings 3-5 ; Luke 20:1-26

Thoughts For The Day

Wherever the Gospel is preached, no matter how crudely, there are bound to be results.

We can endure life's wrongs because we know God will make things right.

Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.

Motivation For The Day

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do

Personal Story Of The Day

The Greatest Headlines Ever 

Did you know that the largest type used by most newspapers for headlines of astounding events has been called "second coming" type? These heavy, black letters are reserved for only the most amazing front-page news stories. This dramatic type has been used to announce the beginning and end of wars, moon landings, political election winners, natural disasters, and other significant events. 

One day mankind will witness the great event for which the "second coming" type was named... the return of Jesus Christ. And what a day that will be! The One who ascended to heaven long ago will return to this earth. When our Lord comes back, it will be such a phenomenal occurrence that it will command worldwide attention. The day Jesus told His disciples that He would be leaving them, Peter was filled with questions (John 13:36-37). 

Jesus didn't explain when He would return, but He reassured His disciples that He was going to prepare a place for them and one day "come again" (14:2-3). When the Saviour comes back, His return will command the attention of all earth's inhabitants. It will be more than a headline event!

Jokes Of The Day

Bob was very proud of his Texas heritage and lived there until he died. When he arrived in Heaven, St. Peter gave him the deluxe tour.

Behind the first door was a beautiful tropical beach. Bob poked his head in to look, but quickly announced that Galveston had nicer beaches.

Behind the second door was the most mind-boggling amusement park ever imagined. But Bob said he was sure that Dallas had more impressive parks.

After a dozen more such responses, an annoyed St. Peter pulled him to the edge of a nearby cliff and shouted, "You see that enormous lake of fire? Have you got anything like that in Texas?"

"Well no," Bob replies sheepishly, "But I do know a guy in Houston who can put it out."

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

A certain lady invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say grace?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," the little girl replied.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother answered.

The little girl bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
************************************

A very dirty little fellow came in from playing in the yard and asked his mother, "Who am I? " Ready to play the game she said, "I don't know! Who are you?" "WOW!" cried the child. "Mrs. Johnson was right! She said I was so dirty, my own mother wouldn't recognize me!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Actions Give Words Their Power

The king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: Bring out the men who came to you. - Joshua 2:3. References from James 2:20-26.

The story is told of a group of old men who used to gather at a country store in a small town in every Saturday to swap fishing stories. They would describe the number and size of their latest catch and give great details about the struggle to reel in a particularly difficult fish. One day a younger man mentioned to the store owner that he would like to take the men on a nice fishing expedition. Oh, no, the owner replied. They never go fishing, especially not with each other. Then they would have to back up all their stories with actual proof! 

The men may have been good story tellers, but they could hardly be considered fishermen if they never went fishing. James says that the same is true of us: if we only talk about being Christians and don't act like Christians, we are deceived if we think that we please God. To reinforce his point, James goes back to Scripture to find examples of godly men and women. These people encourage us to realise that James isn't describing some sort of pie in the sky idealism, but a way of life that others have actually followed.

James chooses Abraham and Rahab to illustrate his point. He wants to explore what made them pleasing to God. Was it the mere fact that they believed in Him? Clearly not, for even demons believe in God, yet they are neither pleasing God nor will they be saved (v19). But Abraham and Rahab pleased God because their belief in Him caused them to live in obedience to Him. Both Abraham and Rahab chose to fear God rather than men, and they did things that appeared crazy to everyone else.

Abraham was willing to obey God even when it appeared he would lose all hope of having children (Gen 22). His faith in God's promises compelled him to obey even when it seemed that God didn't make sense.


In God's Scales 

Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Daniel 5:24-28.

Some government officials claim that something has gone seriously wrong with the American judicial system. A few years ago, the Heritage Foundation conducted a study that revealed that the average sentence for murder is only 15 years and the murderer is usually out in 1.8 years. A rapist gets an average of 8 years, but he's out in 60 days. Burglars will likely serve only 4.8 days, and within three years 60 percent of them are arrested for another crime. Furthermore, an Arrand Corporation study confirmed that the average inmate has committed 187 crimes before he is ever sentenced. 

God's justice, however, suffers no such flaws. His scales are both accurate and just. In the midst of the king's drunken revelry, Belshazzar discovered that God had been very much aware of his sins all along and that the time of restitution had arrived. The fingers of the hand that spelled out his doom left nothing in question. His kingdom had run its course, his soul was found wanting, and the instruments of God's judgment (the Medes and the Persians) were at the door. Christians can be thankful that even though human justice often fails, God's justice never does. It is complete; no detail is overlooked. 

Notably, it is totally fair and equitable. Those who are wealthy cannot buy their way out of judgment, those who are eloquent cannot talk their way out, and those who are powerful cannot force their way out. In God's courtroom, no one has an unfair advantage. If you are suffering under an injustice, just hang on. Appeal your case to God. The One who judges both heaven and earth will execute justice for you as well. Trust Him to do what is right in His own time.
