_ 030514 Saved

Good day to ya everyone. Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good yes he is good and he is worthy of all our praise. Be encouraged today because you have never had one like this one and never will again. Use it to glorify God in a mighty way.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Most Gracious Heavenly Father, if as Watchman Nee has written, “You have indeed chosen this world to be the arena for Your plan, the center of what You have set Yourself to do,” then help us trust You completely. Help us remember that moral excellence, like a good painting, begins by drawing a guideline; and remind us that You have already drawn that line! You have set limits for mankind’s conduct. Help us see that it is only when we try to live within Your parameters that we can enjoy our greatest fulfillment and worth.  Help us as a nation, as a church, and as individuals to try to see things from Your point of view, for fear that by insisting on our own “guide-lines,” we bring on our downfall. Help us wake up before we are overwhelmed by our mistakes. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

 Let’s eat.

SAVED; 3 LOOKS

By Christ’s Death

 1 Cor. 1:18-19

 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.

 From Sin’s Penalty by His Risen Life

 Romans 5:6-11

 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.  For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

 From Sin’s Practice at His Coming Again

 Hebrews 9:27-28

 And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality–not as we expect it to be but as it is–is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
