Daily Reading – Psa. 80-85 / Rom. 13

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     I grew up in the 60’s when the Beatles were popular. They sang a song entitled “All You Need Is Love.” Whether they realized it or not, the Bible said that way before they did. It says we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. You might be thinking, what if they are adulterers, homosexuals, drug addicts, or murders, are we supposed to love them too? The answer is yes.

     The Bible tries to help us see the difference between the person committing sin and the sin itself. Sin is what sinners do. Jesus died for the sinner to cleanse them from their sin. We can and should hate sin. However, we can and should love the sinner. Remember, we as believers are sinners who have been saved by grace.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

For Christians then, love is not an option, right?

Daily Reading – Psa. 78-79 / Rom. 12

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  In Romans 12, Paul gives the church a list of things to help strengthen the church and its believers. One issue that he touches on is our affection and attention. Truth is, we linger near what we love. I am affectionate toward my wife because I love her. Therefore, I give her my attention over everyone else. Why, because I prefer to be with her and have found that I learn to love her more because of the time we spend together.

  Paul says we as the church ought to be affectionate toward one another and, actually preferring one another. That would mean we would long to spend time with the church and giving our attention to them. If you do not have that relationship with your church, maybe you are not spending enough time with them.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What do you prefer, the world, or God’s Church?

JULY 20 & 21, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 73-77 / Rom. 11

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  A doctor will prescribe medicine, we will take it, and it makes us well. Very few people really understand how those molecules break up and make that happen. We get into an elevator and go to the next floor without understanding all the elevators working parts. Cell phones, computers, and tablets all send information through the air, yet we do not know how that works.

  God’s ways are far above any technology. His knowledge and wisdom exceed anything we dream up. Yet people trust man’s devices without knowing how they work but won’t trust God until they think they have figured Him out. God’s ways and wisdom are “unsearchable.” We need to trust Him. He is smarter than we are.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do we really trust God completely?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.

AUGUST 19, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 69-72 / Rom. 10

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 10:10-11 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Where is everyone? I ask that question on many Sundays and Wednesdays. I realize people go on vacation and get sick, but where are they the rest of the time? I ask myself when elections roll around, and I see the most unbiblical example leadership elected, where are the Christians? I wonder when it is time to go out on visitation and soul winning, why has no one showed up to go? I ask because the bible says if we believe on Him, we should “not be ashamed.”

  I have an Evangelist friend who said it this way. God doesn’t have “Secret Agents.” The world should know we are saved. Jesus openly died for us. He will return some day for the church.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will the Lord find the Bride of Christ
ashamed of their groom, King Jesus?

Daily Reading – Psa. 65-68 / Rom. 9

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  People today are trying so hard to be something they were not created to be. People complain, my ears are too big, my lips are too thin, I am too fat, or too thin. It is a never-ending cry of I am too something that I do not like. So, let me ask you, who are you comparing yourself to, another person? You were not created to be that person. God created you exactly as He desired.

  “Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” God created you perfect, even with your supposed flaws or disabilities. He loves you as you are. Quit trying to be something other than who God created you to be. Be all you can be for Him.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you look in the mirror and say, “I’m created too PERFECT to mess God’s creation up?”
