<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>"I proclaim not myself, but Christ Jesus as Lord and Master, and myself your bondsman for the sake of Jesus" </b>(2 Cor. 4:5, Cony.).<br /><br /><b>"God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shone in our hearts"</b> (2 Cor. 4:6a).<br /><br />All Christians are fit for heaven, but all too few are fit for earth. One of the true tests of one's spiritual growth is in one's influence: affecting others that they not only begin the Christian life, but <b>"grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" </b>(2 Peter 3:18).<br /><br />"We may be separated and yet not Christ like; we may be orthodox and yet not spiritual; we may be 'dead unto sin' and yet not 'alive unto God.' We may have cut ourselves loose from every form of worldliness but in so doing we have become critical and self-righteous. We may be loyal defenders of the faith, yea, ready even to lay down our lives for it and in so doing become bitter and unloving. "<br /><br />"We may often have a measure of the power of the Spirit, but if there is not a large measure of the Spirit as the Spirit of grace and love, the defect will be manifest in our work. We may be made the means of conversion, but we will never help people on to a higher standard of spiritual life, and when we pass away a great deal of our work will pass away too." -A.M.<br /><br />"One may have a great zeal in God's service, and may be used to influence many for good, and yet, when weighed in the balance of love, be found sadly wanting. In the heat of controversy or under unjust criticism, haste of temper, slowness to forgive and forget, quick words and sharp judgments, often reveal an easily wounded sensitiveness, which proves how little the Spirit of the Lord Jesus has full possession or real mastery of the life." -A.M.<br /><br /><br /><b>"We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us"</b> (2 Cor. 4:7).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #003333;"><b>"My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in [your] weakness"</b> (II Cor. 12:9) .<br /><br />In self we are crippled; in Christ we conquer. The secret is to face up to the former, and rest in the latter. The disadvantaged believer has all the advantage - he knows it must be "not I, but Christ."<br /><br />"It is a great step when the believer fully consents to his own weakness, and the abiding consciousness of it, and so works faithfully on, fully assured that his Lord is working through him. He rejoices that the excellence of the power is of God, and not of us. Realizing his oneness with his Lord, he considers no longer his own weakness, but counts on the power of Him of whose hidden working within he is assured.<br /><br />"It is this secret assurance that gives a brightness to his look, and a gentle firmness to his tone, and a perseverance to all his efforts, which of themselves are great means of influencing those he is seeking to win. He goes forth in the spirit of one to whom victory is assured; for this is the victory that overcometh, even our faith. He no longer counts it humility to say that God cannot bless his unworthy efforts. He claims and expects a blessing, because it is not he, but Christ in him, that worketh. The great secret of abiding in Christ is the deep conviction that we are nothing, and He is everything." - A.M.<br /><br />"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God" (II Cor. 3:5).</span></span><b><big><span style="color: #003333;"></span></big></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica"; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica"; font-size: medium;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica"; font-size: x-large;">In Acts 1 the Savior went up, in Acts 2 the Spirit came down and in Acts 3-28 the saints went out. God gave me this outline many years ago and it has helped me greatly<br /><br /><b>Jesus sat down </b><br />He is now sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven, Mk 16:19, Acts 2:33, Rom 8:34, Col 3:1, Heb 1:3. Why did He sit down? He finished what He came to do! Ten days later He sent the Holy Spirit to take up where He left off. The Holy Spirit came to take over. This is crucial for us to understand and act accordingly.<br /><br /><b>He shall glorify me</b><br />When we understand this and let the Holy Spirit take over, "He shall glorify me" John 16:14. Here is the key for believers to glorify the Lord Jesus.<br /><br /><b>What we ask Jesus to do </b><br />We ask Jesus to comfort us. We sing, "Jesus when I need Him most, Jesus is near to comfort and cheer." NO, the Holy Spirit is our comforter today. "I will pray the Father" said Jesus, "and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" John 14:16. Jesus went away and sat down.<br /><br /><b>Led by the Spirit </b><br />"We sing, "Jesus Savior, pilot me" or "Jesus led me all the way." God said we are to be led by the Spirit today Rom 8:14 "for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." That is not to take away anything from the Lord Jesus. Remember, "He (the Holy Spirit) shall glorify me" Jn. 16:14. We do not talk to the lost man about the Holy Spirit. We tell Him about Jesus suffering and dying for his sins and rising from the dead. Jesus is the Savior for the lost and the Spirit is the power for the saved. "To be rightly related to the Savior makes you a Christian, to be rightly related to the Spirit makes you a spiritual Christian" L. S. Chafer.<br />.<br /><b>He is the power </b><br />Our worship, our work, our witnessing today is to be done in the conscious dependence on the power of the Holy Spirit. THIS IS THE KEY. More to come. Don't miss the next step.<br /><br />Good news, God love you and me, the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full, rose again and was seen by hundreds. This gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every who believes this will get them to heaven. "Believest thou this? </span><br />

The Bible clearly calls it sin/evil (an abomination - Leviticus 18:22) yet today our society says IT IS GOOD!<br /><br />Another example is found in abortion.<br />The Bible clearly says the BABY in the womb is a BABY (with RIGHTS), and is a living human. But the evil act of abortion is called GOOD by society, as “after all, it is a fetus a piece of tissue, not a baby”, and also it would be BAD (evil) if they say to bring “it” (being as they call it a fetus) into the world if unwanted by the mother or parents.<br /><br />We BIBLE believing Christians are called EVIL for taking a stand for morality against the murdering of millions of babies (abortion), etc…<br /><br />Likely, my taking a stand against homosexuality and abortion will cause me to lose some readers, but it is TRUTH!<br /><br />Yet believing the TRUTH does not make me not love (with God's love) the homosexual, the abortionist, or the person having the abortion because my heart goes out to them as the devil has had them believe a LIE. I love them and all others and pray that anyone who does not know Jesus will come to know Him.<br /><br />Yet our LOVING people who do wrong (sin, evil) doesn’t mean it makes their sin okay!<br />SIN is SIN and we must start calling it as it is!<br /><br />Our society and our nation don’t need a weak church (i.e., Christians), but a church that will call evil evil, good good, dark dark, etc...<br /><br />These are only two areas of concern where we see THE DECEPTION OF A SINFUL SOCIETY. There are many more examples that we can think of that this verse would apply to.<br /><br />In closing,<br />I sense an urgency that we who are Christians need to be living the truth, sharing the truth, and praying for a society that is so in need of GOD.<br /><br />It starts with US (you and me)!<br />Let us proclaim God's truth in the face of darkness.<br /><br />As one minister of the Gospel put it,<br />“America you're too young to die!”<br />and as another minister put it,<br />“If God does not judge the sin of this nation, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”<br /><br />Christians we need to take a stand for the TRUTH as revealed in the Bible and Christians we need to Pray for our society here and around the world!<br />============================================<br />Please take these words to heart and feel free to pass this, or any of my devotions, on to others. All I ask is that you use them in their entirety.<br /><br />In His Service,<br />Jim (<a href="http://us.mc393.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=BibleFood@aol.com">BibleFood@aol.com</a>)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Two Musicians’ in a major symphonic orchestra were discussing who they thought the LEAST talented musician in the band was. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of them said; that’s easy. See that guy standing in the back? Well, we just put two sticks in his hands and we call him a Drummer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The other responded; well, if we take one stick away, we call him a Conductor!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">by Sumner Wemp</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven" Matt 10:32. That is an awesome statement. He will confess us before the Father. WOW. Get them to confess the Lord Jesus publicly. It really helps confirm their salvation and what a blessing it is to them and the whole church.<br /><br />It is a terrible tragedy that this practice is not being done too often in churches today. People go into a prayer room and you never see or hear what they did. To see them weeping and hear them tell they just got saved is a BIG highlight in their lives and in the church.<br /><br />The night I was saved, March 28, 1940, I was so under conviction I could hardly stand it. The pastor gave an invitation every service for people to come forward who wanted to be saved and let someone talk to them and help them to be sure of their salvation. I went forward, the pastor told me how to be saved, prayed with me and God saved me.<br /><br />What I did not know was that for the three weeks I had been going to church, word got out to everyone about this boy who wasn't saved. The whole church was praying for me. I could not have gone to hell if I had tried, so many people were praying for me. That, is a big secret to seeing people saved personally and in churches. I see a lot of people get saved because I pray earnestly for souls every day. You do the same and you will see the same. "Ye have not because you ask not" James 4:2. It is as simple as that.<br /><br />Father, what a joy to openly confess You as our Father and Jesus as our Savior. May it be so to every child of God. In Jesus name<br /><br />Go to www.sumnerwemp.com and see all the new material. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Two guys were riding in a car, arguing about how to say the name of the city that they were in. One said "Louieville" and the other "Louiseville." They went on arguing and arguing, until they came upon a fast-food restaurant. </span><br />

But all these things were an outgrowth of the primary focus of his life:<br /><br />"We proclaim [Christ], admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me" (Colossians 1:28-29).<br /><br />When we observe the life of Paul, we don't see a man who meandered through life saying, "These forty things I dabble at." Instead, we see a man of focus who said, "This one thing I do."<br /><br />We never see Paul losing his passion and excitement for his goal.<br /><br />Notice how he speaks of his work of bringing people to Christ and building them up in the faith. The word he uses for labor is kopiao, which means to work until you are ready to drop. Then he uses the word agonizomai, which means to strive, to struggle, to agonize. But he speaks of doing the work through God's energy.<br /><br />Christian, what about you? Does the prospect of walking with Christ and serving Him start your day with excitement and anticipation?<br /><br />You don't have to be an evangelist or a missionary. All it takes is a clear focus on the person of Jesus Christ and what He has called you to do in your family, your job, your life.<br /><br />Why not give yourself to the task of winning people to Christ and helping them grow to their full maturity in Christ.<br /><br />Lord, may my walk be consistent through Your energy and power. Amen.<br /><br />The focus of your life determines how you go through each day.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: start;">
<i style="color: blue; font-size: xx-large; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "serif";">As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways</span></i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"> – Ezekiel 33:11</span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Many times people can misunderstand the sovereignty of God and assume that God is pleased with all that He allows to happen in the world. We might even presume that God condones some sin in which we are engaged, even though He expressly forbids it in His Word.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">You may have been justifying to yourself a particular sin, or even a sinful way of life, by telling yourself that if God wanted you to change then He would let you know. But He has! He tells us in His Word: "turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways."</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Have you been listening to God and to His Word or have you been following the dictates of your sinful nature, your corrupt conscience, your lustful desires? Know for a certainty that God is not for a moment pleased with your rationalized rebellion.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv937045144MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">On the other hand, God delights to see wicked sinners turn from their rebellious ways and live. It is, of course, He who gives them the strength to do so in the first place.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Sinner, there are only two ways before you: the life that is found in pleasing God or the death that is found in your current way of wickedness. Turn from your way and live.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: black; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A truck driver is driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads “Low Bridge Ahead.” Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under it. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, “Got stuck, huh?” </span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The truck driver says, “No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "serif";">"Now the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, `Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.' Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? Why did you swoop down on the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the LORD?"… Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD." But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."</span></i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A sweet little boy surprised his grandmother one morning and brought her a cup of coffee. He made it himself and was so proud. He anxiously waited to hear the verdict on the quality of the coffee. The grandmother had never in her life had such a bad cup of coffee, and as she forced down the last sip she noticed three of those little green army guys in the bottom of the cup.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />She asked, "Honey, why would three little green army guys be in the bottom of my cup?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Her grandson replied, "You know grandma, it's like on TV, 'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup.'"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif";">Look at their response when asked who healed their son, </span><b><span style="font-family: "serif";">His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself." His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."</span></b></span></div>

<i style="color: blue; font-size: xx-large; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "serif";">"Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the Lord."</span></i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"> - 2 Chronicles 30:12</span></div>
<div class="yiv1450704092MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">A major corporation conducted a study on the flight of geese. In their study they found that geese fly in a "V" formation with one goose in the lead. After a period of time, this goose relinquishes the lead to another goose. During flight they noticed head movements of the leader that seem to give signals to the other geese flying, perhaps to let the others know how he was doing. They estimate that the formation flight pattern reduces wind drag due to the lift the other birds receive and believe it increases their performance by up to 70 percent. Whenever one goose drops out, another goes with it. These two geese do not catch up to the original pack, but join another group later. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Independence is one of the strongholds of the workplace. The entire system feeds the desire within us to gain recognition from our individual achievements. We wrongly believe financial independence frees us from needing to depend on anyone else. The fact is dependence on others is a good thing. It can bring us into a unity of spirit that accomplishes much more with less effort while meeting needs for each of us. Christ talked a lot about unity among brothers and sisters. He said that others would know we are Christians by our love for one another and by our unity. We need to depend on others so that we don't go it alone. By walking together we increase our strength. By going it alone we must carry a load we were never intended to carry. God did not create us to go it alone. By joining together we accomplish more for Jesus Christ. Ask the Lord today if there is an independent spirit within you that prevents you from joining others in the mission He has called you to.</span></span><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>"In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears… He reached down from on high and took hold of me … He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me."</i></b><br /><b><i>Psalm 18:6, 16, 19, NIV</i></b><br /><br />Our garden overlooks a small lake which is inhabited by various water birds. One morning recently I looked out of the window and saw a family of mallards waddling across our lawn – a mother with eleven tiny newly hatched ducklings. They went round the corner of our house, but as I continued to watch them the mother duck saw me and immediately scurried off, calling to her brood to follow, which they did – all except one. There is a gap between the wall of our house and a flowerbed, and one adventurous, independent little duckling had fallen into it. The walls were too steep for him to scramble back up, and his wings were not yet properly formed, so he was stuck there, desperately squeaking to his mother for help. His mother was quacking back at him, but there was nothing she could do to rescue him. He needed help from on high – in this case me!<br /><br />I reached down and gently scooped him up in my hands and put him down on the lawn. He scuttled off back to his family, and there was a joyful reunion! I felt a great sense of joy and satisfaction at having saved the little duckling and spared the anguish of the mother.<br /><br />As I reflected on the episode I felt God speaking to me about His joy in rescuing us. We can find ourselves in desperate situations (often of our own making), but as we cry out to God He will reach down from on high, take hold of us and bring us out.<br /><br />Today’s verses from Psalm 18 show that He not only rescues us, but that He does so because He delights in us. As I cradled the tiny duckling in my hands, I marveled at how beautiful it was with its soft fluffy down and intricate markings. As I delighted in it, I was reminded of the tenderness of the Father and the delight that He has in us.<br /><br />Do you believe today that He can rescue you from whatever pit you may find yourself in, and that He does it because He delights in you?<br /><br /><i><b>Prayer:</b> Heavenly Father, thank You that You delight in me and that You can rescue me from any pit. Please take hold of me today and bring me out of the desperate situation I find myself in. Forgive me for the part I played in getting into this situation, in Jesus’ name, Amen.</i><br /><b>by Jilly Lyon Taylor</b></span><br />

<strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">"To give His people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins..." Luke 1:77.</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you're not a Christian, but you've been around Christians, you've probably heard the term "gospel."</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But, what does it mean?</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Well, first, it means God loves you.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He has a purpose for your life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He wants you to have a meaningful life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Everybody likes the sound of that!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Unfortunately, we often have a problem personally experiencing God's love-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- because we're separated from God due to the sin in our lives.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">"Sin" is missing the mark of God's best for our life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It's living life our way versus God's way.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The solution is Jesus.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He died for our sins.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He rose from the dead, proving He is God.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He is the way to God.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This calls for a decision to believe Jesus is who He says He is-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- and to trust Christ alone for salvation and abundant life.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">That's it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">That's the gospel.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Do you believe it?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The gospel is the good news of salvation-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- following the bad news of our sin problem.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I hope you'll believe it and receive it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You look good on the outside.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But God looks at your inside!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Inside your heart-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- it’s a dirty mess!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Religious inside!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But rebellious outside!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I’ve got bad news for you.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Jesus hates religious pretense. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Christianity is not a religion!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Christianity is a relationship!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But there’s also good news. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">God loves the pretenders. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He gave His life for hypocrites like you and me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The end of being a religious pretenders is to admit our sin separates us from God-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- then ask Christ’s forgiveness; </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- then believe He’s your only hope for change, to be right with God. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">And here’s the irony: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When we begin to be more real with God and with others, we begin to be more like Jesus. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He’s the only person who has ever lived without any trace of pretense.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A Dutchman was explaining the red, white, and blue Netherlands flag to an American.<br /><br />"Our flag is symbolic of our taxes. We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bills, and blue after we pay them."<br /><br />The American nodded. "It's the same in the USA only we see stars, too!"</span></div>

<strong style="font-size: xx-large;">Do you hear the clock ticking?</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Time keeps moving on!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It never stops for anyone-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">- no matter how important you are.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We just can't find enough of that stuff.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The late Jim Croce sang about bottling time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">While we can't do that, one thing's for sure-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">God wants us to be good stewards of our time!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But we'll never be able to until we're clear about our purpose for living.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The starting point is knowing why we're here.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>First-</strong></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">- ask God to help you develop a life-purpose statement.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It will take some time, but it's the best time you'll ever invest.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Know why you're here.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Then-</strong></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">- decide each day what's most important for you to do that day, and do it.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">By having a clear purpose and doing the most important thing each day-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">God can revolutionize your life and help you make the most of your time!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>"...(the Lord) has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity." 2 Timothy 1:9.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We're constantly bombarded with bad news on newscast after newscast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It's depressing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The harsh reality of the daily news challenges those who believe that man is inherently good and the world is getting better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Bible tells us the truth.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Human beings are not innately good and kind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">And society is not progressing toward universal peace and harmony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Why, just the opposite is true!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Man's sin is a constant reality and if we don't want to believe it-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">- we can just ignore the news and refuse to lock our doors at night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There is good news, however.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">God is in control of history and anyone who acknowledges his need for God in Christ holds the key to inner peace and security.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">For in Christ, whether we live or die, we can't lose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Christ gives us the key to eternal life and living this life victoriously.</span></div>

A decrepit old barn near the highway caught my dad's attention, and he stopped the car to capture a dramatic picture of the crumbling structure with the majestic mountain behind it.<br /><br />The barn, preserved on my dad's roll of film, may have been a good barn when it was built. No doubt it had a sturdy foundation and floor, quality beams, and secure siding. However, by the time my parents drove past it, the walls were sagging and half the roof was caved in. What happened? Someone had failed to maintain the structure. When the first chinks in the siding appeared, they were ignored. When the first holes developed in the roof, no one tended to them. When a beam cracked, it was not repaired. And over the years, the barn's condition went from bad to worse.<br /><br />What a warning to us, when we think about our Christian lives! It is important to start with a good foundation—a real born-again experience. It is crucial to build with the best materials: the gold, silver, and precious stones spoken of in the Bible. However, the building must be maintained! We must be alert to any area that might begin to sag, or a beam that is about to break. The Bible tells us, "We ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Hebrews 2:1).<br /><br />How can we properly maintain our spiritual buildings? We must pay careful attention to praying and reading God's Word. We must be tuned to receive the Spirit's instruction and quick to obey when it comes. We should seek fellowship with like-minded believers, for unity is essential to our strength.<br /><br />The enemy of our souls wants us to be careless about our spiritual maintenance. The words of our focus verse indicate that he is seeking to destroy us. Let us be vigilant and consistent with our maintenance so our spiritual buildings will withstand every attempt of the devil to weaken them!</span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Daily Smile:</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.<br /><br />Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.<br /><br />As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong.<br /><br />Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two men from the gas company running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!"</span><br />

What a bright light may shine within us when it is really dark outside! How firm, how happy, how calm, how peaceful we may be when the world shakes, and the foundations of the earth are removed! Even death itself, with all its terrible influences, has no power to suspend the music of a Christian's heart, but instead makes that music sweeter, clearer, more heavenly, until the last kind act that death can do is allow the earthly song to melt into the heavenly chorus, the temporal joy into the eternal bliss!<br /><br />Let us have confidence, then, in the blessed Spirit's power to comfort us. Dear reader, are you facing poverty? Do not fear—the Holy Spirit can give you, in your need, a greater plenty than the rich have in their abundance. You never know what joys may be stored up for you in the cottage around which grace will plant the roses of contentment.<br /><br />Are you conscious of your physical frailty? Do you anticipate sleepless nights and painful days? Do not be sad! Your bed may become a throne to you. You cannot tell how every pain that shoots through your body may be a refining fire to consume your dross—a beam of glory to light up the secret parts of your soul.<br /><br />Is your eyesight failing? Jesus will be your light. Is your hearing deteriorating? Jesus' name will be your soul's best music, and His person your dear delight. Socrates used to say, "Philosophers can be happy without music," and Christians can be happier than philosophers when all outward causes of rejoicing are removed.<br /><br />In You, my God, my heart shall triumph, no matter my circumstances! By Your power, O blessed Spirit, my heart shall rejoice even though all things should fail me here below.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A man in a supermarket was pushing a cart which contained, among other things, a screaming baby. As the man proceeded along the aisles, he kept repeating softly, "Keep calm, George. Don't get excited, George. Don't yell, George."<br /><br />A lady watched with admiration and then said, "You are certainly to be commended for your patience in trying to quiet little George."<br /><br />"Lady," he declared, <b>"I'M GEORGE!"</b></span><br />

So, many were surprised when, after her death, letters came to light that exposed her struggles with doubt. In one letter, she wrote, “I am told God lives in me—and yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul.”<br /><br />These letters reveal the human side of this person whom many considered a saint. Her example demonstrates so clearly the truth that none of us is immune to doubt. For another example, we need to look no further than the disciples of Jesus, in particular, “doubting Thomas.”<br /><br />After Jesus’ Resurrection, other disciples had “seen the Lord” (v. 25). But Thomas resisted. He had doubts and remained skeptical until Jesus appeared and spoke to him directly. Finally, his doubts were overcome.<br /><br />Immediately after this story, the Bible describes how Jesus performed “many other signs…which are not written in this book” (v. 30). The implication is clear: There is a relationship between faith and signs. Doubt can prevent us from belief, faith, and God’s power, but, as it did for Thomas, everything changes when we have a personal encounter with Jesus and declare Him as “My Lord and my God.”<br /><br />Don’t be crippled by doubt. Seek to deepen your personal relationship with Jesus. Spend time in prayer. Fill your mind with God’s Word, and put it into practice. Replace your doubt with faith, and seek to receive all that God has prepared for you.<br /><br /><b>Today's Inspirational Prayer </b><br /><br />Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me for doubting Your presence and power. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight. Renew me by Your Spirit. I trust in You. In Your name. Amen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A kindergarten teacher handed out a coloring page to her class. On it was a picture of a duck holding an umbrella.<br /><br />The teacher told her class to color the duck in yellow and the umbrella green. But little Johnny, who always does things HIS way, colored the duck a bright fire.<br /><br />After seeing this, the teacher asked him: "Johnny, how many times have you seen a red duck?"<br /><br />Young Johnny replied with "The same number of times I've seen a duck holding an umbrella."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>BIBLE MEDITATION: </b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: red;">“Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.”</span> </b> John 12:24<br /><br /><b>DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:</b><br />You can tell the size of a Christian by what it takes to stop him. Hebrews 12:1 says we are to “run with patience the race that is set before us.” And this word “patience” is not used in the sense that we use the word. It literally means “endurance.”<br /><br />Everybody knows that a runner is going to win or lose primarily by his endurance. You cannot quit. When it hurts, you cannot quit. When your lungs are on fire, you cannot quit. When your feet feel like lead, you cannot quit. When your sides ache, you cannot quit! You’ll never be a spiritual athlete if you’re a quitter! No pain. No gain.<br /><br /><b>ACTION POINT:</b><br />His power will enable you to run the race and gain the victor’s crown!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Daily Smile:</span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A young man at this construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone based on his strength. He especially made fun of one of the older workman. After several minutes, the older worker had enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />"Why don't you put your money where you mouth is?" he said. "I'll bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to the other building that you won't be able to wheel back." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />"You're on, old man," the young man replied. "Let's see what you've got." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then nodding to the young man, he said with a smile, <b>"All right. Get in."</b></span><br />

"We're taking a survey," she says, half joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?" "It will change your life," I say carefully, keeping my tone neutral. "I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on the weekend, no more spontaneous vacations..."<br /><br />But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in child birth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing heal, but that becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will be forever vulnerable. I consider warning her that she will never read a newspaper again without asking "What if that had been MY child?" That every plane crash, every fire will haunt her. That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die. I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub. That an urgent call of "Mom!" will cause her to drop a soufflé or her best crystal without a moment's hesitation.<br /><br />I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting and she will think about her baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure her baby is all right.<br /><br />I want my friend to know that everyday decisions will no longer be routine. That a five year old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at McDonalds will become a major dilemma. That right there, in the midst of clattering trays and screaming children, issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in that restroom. However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother.<br /><br />Looking at my friend, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. That her life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she would give it up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years -- not to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her child accomplish theirs. I want her to know that a cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become badges of honor. My friend's relationship with her husband will change, but not in the ways she thinks. I wish she could understand how much more you can love a man who is always careful to powder the baby or never hesitates to play with his child. I think she should know that she will fall in love with him again for reasons she would now find very unromantic.<br /><br />I wish my friend could sense the bond she'll feel with women throughout history who have tried desperately to stop war and prejudice and drunk driving. I hope she will understand why I can think rationally about most issues, but become temporarily insane when I discuss the threat of nuclear war to my children's future. I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration of seeing your child learn to ride a bike. I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog or cat for the first time. I want her to taste the joy that is so real, it actually hurts.<br /><br />My friend's quizzical look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. "You'll never regret it," I say finally. Then I reach across the table, squeeze my friend's hand, and offer a silent prayer for her, and for me, and for all of the mere mortal women who stumble their way into this most wonderful of callings. The blessed gift of being a Mother.<br /> -Author unknown</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">by Dr. Larry Ollison</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What is doubt? The answer might surprise you. But doubt is not just not believing; doubt is not believing all the time.<br /><br />In James 1:16, we are told that if we ask God for something, we must ask Him in faith without any doubt, because the "one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." Verse 7 goes on to say that the man who doubts should not expect that he would receive anything from the Lord. Since doubting can keep us from receiving from God, it's imperative that we know exactly what the Bible is talking about when it refers to doubt in this passage. The Greek word used in verse 7 comes from the root word diakrinü. In other places diakrinü is translated decide, difference, stagger, and waver. We know that the reference is to wavering and a divided way of thinking because James refers to waves being tossed by the wind as double-mindedness. But what does it mean to be double-minded?<br /><br />In my years of ministry, I have seen people look as though they are standing in great faith while at church on Sunday. Yet when the first phone call arrives on Monday, they are not so sure about God's promise. Then again, Monday evening while shopping, they by chance run into a church member who encourages them in the Word and once again, they appear strong in faith. But that night as they watch secular television, doubt creeps in and they go to bed worrying, only to wake up encouraged during their morning devotions. Then they lose all faith while having coffee with their unbelieving neighbor who tells them just how things look. This cycle continues until Sunday when they appear strong in faith again.<br /><br />The truth is they spent their week like the waves of the sea, tossed back and forth between believing and doubting. The Word calls this being double-minded and says that this person is unstable in all their ways.<br /><br />Sadly, these are the people who usually can't understand why God hasn't answered their prayers because they are "in faith" every time they go to church, they've had the elders lay hands laid on them and pray for them, and they make great faith statements. The problem is they are not consistent.<br /><br />Faith is consistent. Faith does not waver. Faith does not give up. People of faith guard themselves against sources of doubt. If your faith is young and immature, and you want your faith to grow, the last thing you do is associate with the New-Age person who lives in your neighborhood. You must guard your eye-gates and ear-gates when watching TV. You must monitor what you read. Remember, God always responds to faith and God never responds to doubt or unbelief – and participating in those kinds of things causes doubt and unbelief to grow in us.<br /><br />He who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways" (James 1:6-8). While it is true that God does not respond to doubt, it is also true that the enemy constantly attacks all of us with doubting thoughts. We must remember that above all, God is a good God and He loves us. His goal is for us to be blessed and His grace is always with us to empower us and overcome the attacks of the enemy. As soon as a doubt arises, the enemy will add to it guilt and condemnation to make us feel unworthy. But here is the good news: The grace of God outperforms and overpowers the fears and doubts from the enemy. And when we turn to God, the assurance of His promise removes all doubt.</span><br />

He told his Dad how happy he was that now he could stay out until 3:00 a.m. if he wanted. “Yes you can stay out as late as you want, but the car is under seventeen and it has to be in the garage by eleven.” His father said</span>.<br />

Most of the people I saw seemed to have grim, tense faces. They would look at me for only a second or avert their eyes altogether. Sometimes they would nod or say "hi" but more often said nothing at all.<br /><br />All that seemed to change, though, as I got older. For some surprising reason people were suddenly greeting me with a warm smile when I passed them. Their eyes seemed to sparkle when they said, "hello" and many times they would even stop to chat happily with me for a few minutes. At first I didn't know what to make of this. Had the whole world suddenly gotten kinder without telling me? Had the hearts and souls of everyone I met suddenly grown more loving and joyful for some reason?<br /><br />Then one day when I was walking alone in a store the answer came to me. I was thinking to myself of how much God loved me and of all the blessings I had been given in this life. At that moment I walked by a display of mirrors and saw that I had the happiest expression on my face.<br /><br />I had been smiling without even knowing it. Then suddenly I realized that I was the one who had changed. I had grown so much in love, joy, and oneness with God. And it was the light shining from my own soul that others were reflecting back to me.<br /><br />We are all mirrors in this life. We all reflect each other's love. We all share each other's light. We all help each other to become the image of God that we were meant to be. May you always mirror every bit of goodness, kindness, and joy that you see in this world. May your own soul always shine bright as well. And may you make your whole life here a reflection of the light of Heaven and the love of God.<br /><br />Joseph J. Mazzella</span><br />

There’s some more important information about eternity that God wants us to be aware of. In fact, it’s fair to say it’s the most important information that a person can ever receive.<br /><br />“So what’s so important?”<br /><br />As the Book of Hebrews tells us, eternity is a place where there will be judgment. The original Greek word used here for judgment conveys a sense of separation and division. And the more we examine what the Bible tells us about eternity, the more we see that people are going to be eternally separated into two groups.<br /><br />That’s not a popular position to take. We’d like to think of everyone having the same eternal experience. But Jesus said there’s going to be a division that takes place in the afterlife.<br /><br />In Luke 16, Christ describes two men who die. One of them, a rich man, had little regard for others or for the things of God. In eternity, he experienced affliction and anguish. But the other man, a poor beggar named Lazarus, went on to experience peace and joy in eternity.<br /><br />What determined their eternal existence wasn’t their wealth or lack thereof. It was their attitude towards the things of God. One chose to disregard what the Scriptures had to say while the other put his trust in them. Jesus shared this because He wanted to show that our response to the truth contained in God’s Word determines how we’re judged in eternity.<br /><br />There’s going to be a judgment in eternity, and it will be based on what we do with God’s truth—specifically, the truth that Jesus sacrificially died on our behalf to remove the guilt of our sins. We can choose to receive or reject this truth, and our choice will have an eternal impact.<br /><br />Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many…for salvation. (Hebrews 9:28 NKJV)<br /><br /><b>Think About It…</b><br />What does this passage reveal to me about God?<br />What does this passage reveal to me about myself?<br />Based on this, what changes do I need to make?<br />What is my prayer for today?</span><br />

<i style="color: blue; font-size: xx-large; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "serif";">"In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat - for He grants sleep to those He loves."</span></i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"> - Psalm 127:2 </span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">Coming into the Promised Land in business will change the way you and I view our work. No longer will we see getting up early and staying up late as God's way. Living in the Promised Land in work means we know that God is the source of our provision and that our work is an act of worship to Him. Provision is a by-product, not an end in itself. Work is no longer something that must be sweated and toiled upon to make ends meet. "Could this really be true?" you might be saying. God has made it clear that obedience is the assurance of provision. Whenever we go beyond the normal workday due to fear of non-provision, we are operating in unbelief. We are saying that it is up to us to make things happen. Sure, there are times when we work longer hours due to a deadline, but we must be sure the motive is not out of fear of loss or fear of non-provision. If we are obedient to what God has called us to, He will provide our every need. This can be a hard lesson for goal-oriented workplace believers. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif"; font-size: x-large;">I recall coming into this understanding. I had been a workaholic. Long hours were common. Then God shook up my world and I was challenged by a friend to examine my motives for working long hours. I realized the source of those long hours was fear. Once I came into this understanding, I refused to work long hours even though the natural man would tell me I'd never make things happen if I worked a normal work week. Again, this reasoning is based on a lack of faith. If we are obedient to what God has called each of us to, we will not lack. At times it may be less than what we might like; at other times it may be more than we deserve. These are God's ways. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif";">The Bible tells us to come out of Babylon. Babylon is a system of work and philosophy that is contrary to God's ways. Are you operating in any aspect of work from a Babylonian value system? Ask the Lord to reveal this to you. Begin to walk in the freedom He has given us in our work life.</span><span style="color: #4a442a; font-family: "serif";"></span></span></div>
