Scripture Of The Day

Thoughts For The Day

You can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

It's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

You've got to sing like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt. You've got to dance like no one is watching. It's gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work.

Motivation For The Day

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Personal Story Of The Day

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 1 Thessalonians 4:4 References from Song of Solomon 4:12-16 When God made man and woman, it was with the knowledge and intention that their bodies would remain special... their bodies house their spirit, the essence of life itself. God also revealed that our bodies were sacred and certain behaviours would break down the values and benefits that he had created within us. Man and women were created to be chaste... without any form of sexual activity outside of marriage. Chastity helps maintain our spiritually, keeping us focused and in good standing with God's blessings and purposes for our lives. In todays verses, we find another important benefit to chastity. It not only protects from disease and unwanted pregnancy, it also enhances the beauty of sex in marriage. The groom praises the chaste character of his bride by describing her as a garden locked up, a spring enclosed and a sealed fountain. The practice of abstinence did not make her seem like a prude, but rather like a beautiful private garden. To a locked garden and spring no one has access but the rightful owner, and a sealed fountain is shut against all impurity. The practice of chastity is not rooted in a hatred of sex but an understanding of its true value. The chaste person recognizes the beauty of moral purity. Abstinence did not make the bride less attractive to Solomon, it increased his longing for her. Moral purity enhances ones enjoyment of lovemaking. Chastity is a relevant issue for single and married alike. Both have an obligation to control their own bodies that todays verse describes a way that is holy and honorable (1 Thess 4:4). For the single person this means abstaining from sexual activity until marriage. For the married person it means keeping the gate to this garden of secret delights locked to all but ones spouse. This is the backbone of a good marriage and a happy family.

Jokes Of The Day

blonde goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer decides to start with the basics.

"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 terrific explosion occurs in a gunpowder factory, and once all the mess has been cleared up the inquiry begins. One of the few survivors is pulled up to make a statement. "Okay Simpson," says the investigator, "you were near the scene, what happened?"

"Well, it's like this. Old Charley Higgins was in the mixing room, and I saw him take a cigarette out of his pocket and light up."

"He was smoking in the mixing room?" the investigator said in stunned horror, "How long had he been with the company?"

"About 20 years, sir"

"20 years in the company, then he goes and strikes a match in the mixing room, I'd have thought it would have been the last thing he'd have done."

"It was, sir."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

We've been taught that when we ask God for something through prayer, His answer may be yes, no, or wait. We're told that even no is an answer, though obviously not the one we may want. It certainly wasn't the answer Paul wanted when he begged God three times to remove his "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7-8). Whatever Paul's thorn was (probably, it was the flesh itself), it weakened him. Because he wanted to be strong in his ministry, Paul asked God for deliverance. Although God didn't grant his request, He answered his prayer! He said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (v9). The all sufficient strength of Christ became Paul's new boast. Paul's attitude about his thorn changed... At first he viewed it as a limiting handicap, but later he came to regard it as a heavenly advantage. Paul could therefore testify, "I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses . . . . For when I am weak, then I am strong" (v10). Have you prayed to be delivered from something that weakens you, but deliverance hasn't come? Remember, God's grace is sufficient for you. He can transform your limitation into your "heavenly advantage." -------------- How Committed Are You? Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:5 When we make a committment to someone, we are expected to follow through. How many times have you found yourself having to break a committment to someone, either because of a problem, something coming up unexpected, or you just didn't feel like fulfilling it? Are you honest, when you make a committment? Do you look 'down the road' far enough to see if it's feasible to make the committment in the first place? Did you 'count the cost' [Luke 14:28] beforehand? Did you stop to think that you might not be able to stay commmitted to this person or this action? When we commit ourselves to God, we should count the cost. One of the costs is found in giving up the sins and lusts that humans have. Within ourselves, it's hard to not commit sin or have lusts of the eyes or flesh. But, the power that is within us, can keep our sins to a minimum. The Holy Spirit can help us have victory over the smallest or largest sin that might come our way. The Holy Spirit can help us surpass the obstacles that get in our way of our committment to a life with God. The enemy may come at us, but, ask the Holy Spirit to keep you from all evil, and to sustain your every day.
