Good morning everyone. First of all I want to thank everyone that has been praying for my wife Carol who had a left knee replaced and is recovering very well thanks to your prayers! . Today I’m going to ask you to do something that’s a little different. I want you to give yourself a hug in the name of Jesus. I want you to understand that Jesus loves you, even if you don’t think that you are following the word of God the way you should. Even if your not loving your neighbor as yourself. Even if you still have prejudice in your heart. Because I want you to know right now that if you drop to your knees and confess those things (and we all need to do this. Every one of us) He will forgive you for those short comings. Again thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Today’s Prayer
Father, Your Word and acts of the past demonstrate to us Your desires to reflect Your nature and power through every individual–including me! I know that’s because those who reflect Your glory affect the world. We pray that in all situations weI face, we will be obedient and dependent upon You and give You all the praise and glory, so that You will demonstrate Your power that all people may know of Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your Kingdom. We’d like to be able to say, with the Apostle Paul, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5). Thank you, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let’s eat.
Psalm 13
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand? Turn and answer me, O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die. Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall. But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
Quote of the Day
Christ’s call is to save the lost, not the stiff-necked; He came not to call scoffers but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers, and artistic musical performances, but to capture men from the devil’s clutches and the very jaws of Hell. This can be accomplished only by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered devotion, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the Lord Jesus Christ.
