Daily Reading – Psa. 33-36 / Rom. 3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  In an Evangelistic service, during the invitation, the Evangelist gave a clear presentation of the Gospel. From the pulpit he led people in a prayer that, if said from the heart to God, was accepting by faith Christ as Saviour. When finished he asked those who prayed that prayer to come forward. Some did, some did not.

  I was invited later to visit a man who was there. In our conversation he said he wanted to be saved. He believed Christ died for him and His blood paid the price for his sin. He said, “I prayed with the Evangelist, but I am nervous in crowds and did not walk forward.” He feared since he did not come forward, he was not saved. Oh, what joy to share that salvation was not by deeds, works, or a walk, it is by faith. I later baptized this man.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Aren’t you glad we do not earn salvation?

Daily Reading – Psa. 27-32 / Rom. 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 2:11-12 For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  People will ask about the fate of those in the world who do not know there is a God. Will they go to hell? Yet the bible says, You Know! If we read past Romans 2:12 it says our thoughts and conscience bear witness in our heart that there is a God. It speaks of people not having the law, God’s written word. Yet there is still no excuse. Why, because in their hearts they know.

  It is natural to know it is wrong to kill another person. Why, because we know life is valuable. We know in our mind committing adultery is a sin. Why, because God placed in our hearts moral boundaries concerning love. Everyone will be either judged by the written law of God, or by the law of God written in the heart.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Does anyone really have an excuse not to seek God?

AUGUST 8, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 18-21 / Acts 28:17-31

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  At the time of the writing of Acts 28, the Jewish people had controlled the written words of God for thousands of years. They had the truth in their hands. They had heard the truth with their ears, seen the truth with their eyes, and yet refused to believe the truth. Those who did were converted and healed from sins grip. Now God sends the gospel in an organized fashion to the Gentiles and says, “they will hear it.”

  Today that promise is still true. At no time has God rescinded this statement. Will every Gentile who hears this glorious truth be saved? Sadly, we know that will not be the case. Yet the statement is still true today. “The salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.”

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Who will you tell today?

Hebrews 2:12

JULY 6 & 7, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 11-17 / Acts 28:1-16

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     In Acts 28, the folks on the island of Melita changed their minds a few times. First, they welcome everyone off the boat and treat them kindly. After a poisonous snake bit Paul, they saw him as a criminal getting what is coming to him. When the poison had no effect, they changed their mind again and saw him as a god.

     It is true things around us will at times cause us to change our minds. The Bible says in Matt. 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” People are watching everything we do as Christians and listening to all we say.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

We sure do not want people to see us as gods,
but how great would it be if they instead saw our God in us?

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.
