Scripture Of The Day
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but [be thou] in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Proverbs 23:17.Read The Bible In a Year
Leviticus 6-7; Matthew 25:1-30.Thoughts For The Day
Put your brain in gear before starting your mouth.The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet.
If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.
Motivation For The Day
The privilege of prayer, to me, is one of the most cherished possessions, because faith and experience alike convince me that God himself sees and answers, and his answers I never venture to criticize. It is only my part to ask.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Numbers Anyone?Make what you will of this (don't take it too seriously)... 11 has come to be a very interesting number. It could be a forced coincidence, but in any case this is interesting. You decide for yourself:
1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W. Bush has 11 letters. This could be a mere coincidence... (Could it be?) Now here is what is interesting...
1) New York is State # 11
2) The first plane crushing against the Twin Towers was flight # 11.
3) Flight # 11 was carrying 92 passengers Adding this number gives us: 9+2=11.
4) Flight # 77 who also hit the towers, was carrying 65 passengers Adding this: 6+5=11.
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
6) The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding this: 9+1+1=11 Now we have a very upsetting piece..
1! ) The total number of victims inside the planes are 254: 2+5+4=11
2) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year: 2+5+4=11
3) After September 11, there are 111 days more to the end of the year.
4) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds to: 3+1+1+2+0+0+4=11.
5) The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin Towers. Read on! This is really eerie,,, Since America is typically represented by an Eagle. Saddam and BinLaden should have read up on their Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible). Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. Note the verse number!!
God has the evidence of creation and the power of the Holy Spirit always on display (no coincidences)... don't get sidetracked with anything else.
Jokes Of The Day
"So, miss, can you tell us your age, please?"
The blonde counts carefully on her fingers for about 30 seconds before replying, "Ehhhh .. 22!"
The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice. "And can you tell us your height, please?"
The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces, "Five foot two!"
This isn't looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics. "And ehh, just to confirm for our records, your name please?"
The blonde bobs her head from side to side for about twenty seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying "Mandy!"
The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks "Just out of curiosity, miss. We can understand your counting on your fingers to work out your age, and the measuring tape for your height is obvious, but what were you doing when we asked you your name?"
"Ohh that!" replies the blonde, "That's just me running through 'Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....' "
************************************
A blonde went to a flight school, insisting she wanted to learn to fly that day. As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct her on how to pilot the helicopter solo by radio.
He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics and sent her on her way.
After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in. "I'm doing great! I love it! The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this."
After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was becoming to fly. The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet, and was beginning to worry that she hadn't radioed in.
A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a mile away. He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage.
When he asked what happened, she said, "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was starting to get cold. I can't remember anything after I turned off the big fan."
************************************
A man was traveling down a country road when he saw a large group of people outside a house. He stopped and asked a person why the large crowd was there.
A farmer replied, "Joe's mule kicked his mother-in-law and she died."
"Well," replied the man, "she must have had a lot of friends."
"Nope," said the farmer, "we all just want to buy his mule."

Riddle Of The Day
A mansion I am For many, many things. I can live for a very long time. As I grow, I wear more jewelery;However, my jewelry is hidden. Only when I die,
Do others find How old I've grown And just where my jewelery lies.
Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
Discovered in Africa, I spread like a tide To become a hot staple known the world wide. A necessity to some, a treasure to many, I'm best enjoyed among pleasant company. Some like me hot and some like me cold. Some prefer mild, others only bold. Some take me straight, while some like to savour. My essence to which has been added a flavour. So put down your cares and sit awhile with me; I'll send you back refreshed and full of energy.
Coffee. It was first discovered in the area of Africa now called Ethiopia. Legend has it that a goat herder observed his goats acting unusually frisky after eating berries from a bush. When he tried them himself, his energy was renewed. And the rest is history.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
No Comparison
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2. References from Galatians 6:1-5.
The winner of the beauty pageant is supposed to be the most attractive of the contestants. When selecting someone for a promotion, the boss chooses the employee who is the best fit for the new job. The gold medal is awarded to the athlete who ran that race the fastest.
We are accustomed to measuring our success relative to the accomplishments of others... which we learn today is not exactly how the Christian church should operate.
As Paul nears the conclusion of this letter, he takes the opportunity to present us with some concrete examples of what it means to live in a family of Spirit filled people. He recognises that Christians will continue to wrestle with sin in spite of the Spirits presence. Yet he also realises that sin creates divisions in the church.
Sin is never an individual matter. Paul notes that those who sin may feel spiritually distanced from the rest of the community and in need of restoration (v1). He exhorts other members of the church to restore sinners gently.
The entire process requires great humility so that those who restore their brothers or sisters don't become proud and fall into sin themselves (v1, 3). There is no place in the church for self-righteousness. Celebrating ones own relative goodness in comparison to the sins of others is foolish and rejected (v4).
Paul implicitly reminds us that we are responsible before God for how we live, not for the way our lives compare to those of others. Each of us must carry our own load (v5). If we wish to compare our lives with others, then we compare the things which God is doing and rejoice that the spirit is also moving in us.
We Are One
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1Corinthians 12:27.
The one who couldn't see used his feet; the one who couldn't walk used his eyes. Together they helped each other, and they found great joy in doing it. Imagine a church like that... each member using his or her strength to make up for another's weakness.
That's what should be happening in every congregation of believers. Paul likened spiritual gifts to various parts of the human body. Eyes see. Ears hear. Hands work. Feet move the body forward. All are essential. And when each fulfils its function, the whole body benefits.
All of us have weaknesses, but we also have strengths. We are all different, but God has given each of us gifts to use for the good of the church. We need one another. In Christ's body there are no nobodies.
