Thoughts
They crucified him with the criminals. Do you know what this implies? Don't be too surprised if I tell you that
this was the first Christian fellowship, the first certain, indissoluble, and
indestructible Christian community.
Christian community is manifest wherever there is a group of people
close to Jesus who are with him in such a way that they are directly and
unambiguously affected by his promise and assurance. These may hear that everything he is, he is
for them, and everything he does, he does for them. To live by this promise is to be a Christian
community. - Karl Barth
~ Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and
therefore receive little, and are content with little….A. W. Pink
~ We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are
sinners…R. C. Sproul
~ No individual has
any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him
distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it….George Washington
Carver
Ø You never know when one kind act or word of encouragement
can change a life forever. Zig Ziglar
Are you Far From Home?
We have a lot of runaway people today. The world is filled
with them. The first man, Adam, was a runaway. He left the presence of God. He
disobeyed God. God came looking for him and said, “Adam, where are you?” even
though God knew where he was.
God knows where we are, too, but He wants us to know where we
are. Where are we spiritually? Where are we morally? That is what God is
interested in.
Daily Thoughts
` Jesus takes us as we are and makes us what we should be.
` A limited situation may afford the soul a chance to grow.
` Listening may be the most loving and Christ like thing you
do today.
` God’s love became incarnate at Bethlehem.
Proverbs 3:25-26
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that
overtakes the wicked,
26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your
foot from being snared.
What guards your heart from fear? Only one protector is sure
and faithful, his name is the LORD. He is our confidence and protector. As Paul
said so powerfully long ago, prayer and the Holy Spirit are our assurance of
God's deliverance. Either we will be delivered from death to serve God
powerfully or we will be delivered through death to share with him in eternity.
We will not be snared when our fate and future remain in God's hands!
