Are You Being Blown on Course? Acts 7:51c "....You always resist the Holy Spirit!" Thoughts for Today: A few years ago I was skiing in Utah when one of worst blizzards and heaviest snowfalls on record fell upon us. I remember skiing (what would be the last run of the trip) against a wind so strong I had to lean against it with all of my strength to keep from being pushed over. The landscape was so white from the blowing snow that I couldn't see the terrain changes below my feet or th… Continue

Your Witness Begins With Your People Acts 7:2a "To this he replied: 'Brothers and fathers, listen to me!'" Thoughts for Today: Stephen stood before the chief priest and Sanhedrin to answer the charge of "speaking against this holy place and against the law." As he began his testimony he addressed them in the familiar terms of brothers and fathers as he pleaded with them to open their minds, and "listen to me!" I really can relate to Stephen's frustration. After all, these were his people (brothe… Continue

ARE YOU Pretending To Be CHRISTLIKE?Posted by Annette Sanders on February 21, 2009 Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Paula put up a good front. Though she couldn't stand Beth, she never said anything bad to her. She kept quiet until she was alone with her other friends. At odd times, she would think of Beth, and resentment and contempt would rise up within her heart. Still, Paula was quite pl… Continue

Read Leviticus 26 -- 27 Highlights In Today's Reading: Talk about the benefits of walking on the "straight and narrow" -- the blessings of God are marvelous.

Psalm 7:8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord; according to my righteousness , and according to mine integrity that is in me. If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that it's a very scary thought that God might actually judge us according to our measure of righteousness and integrity. Under the careful scrutiny of the Lord, all our blemishes surface and we are exposed for what we really are: sinners in a need of a good cleaning! Praise God that the cleaning is availabl… Continue

Read Genesis 22 -- 24 Highlights In Today's Reading: Miraculous, divine intervention is seen throughout today's reading, all because of obedience to God. How fantastic to see the hand of God in action. Abraham sent Eleazar, his trusted servant, to his homeland in Aram to choose a wife for Isaac from his own people, with this comment: The Lord . . . He shall send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son (24:7). Our Heavenly Father has sent His Holy Spirit to represent His o… Continue

January 2 Read Genesis 4 -- 6 Highlights In Today's Reading: The Lord contrasts ungodly line of Cain with godly line of Seth.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth (angr… Continue
