Wednesday... What a tremendous opportunity we have today.

We are in the middle of moving out of our third story apartment into our new house. This is such a great opportunity but that is not the opportunity that I am talking about. It is a very exciting one but not the one that the Psalmist speaks of.

Psalm 96:1-3 (NLT), "Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does."

Now what if you used the power of the internet to do that. It is an amazing tool to use, isn't it? What if we as Christ's followers starting today would "each day proclaim the good news that he saves". What a tremendous opportunity we have to spread the good news throughout the world.

I am also reading in the Acts of the Apostles of the means that they had to spread the good news and the impact that it had. Acts 16:25 says, "Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening." We are also it seems prisoners to Covid. What if we used this opportunity to also pray and sing hymns. We also have a great opportunity to show that God saves and has made a great difference in our lives.

The Psalmist continues to sing, verses 4-8, "Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made his heavens! Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary. O nations of the world recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong."

We have a tremendous opportunity to share the good news of what God is doing in our lives and that He saves! Let's flood the internet with the good news that He saves! Let's "publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does." Let's do it, starting today! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginng

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo...

Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do

Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT), "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?" Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do. No, not the fact that I can go out my front door and look out at night at the marvels of the sky. I can do that and it is amazing and it takes my breath away each time I see it. Yes, that is a fact but the reality of who did that and the wisdom and the faith that I have to believe that and to marvel that the one who did that cares about me makes such a difference in how I live my life. Yes, God really does. That is so wonderful for us to believe. And that is why faith and wisdom are so important. Now whatever belief you have at how that marvel happened must also be believed through faith. And the sad thing to me is that more and more people have been taught that there is no God and therefore he did not have a h...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...
