JANYUARY 11, 2022 – Not Book Smart

Not Book Smart

JANUARY 11, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 21-23 / Matthew 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 7:28-29 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   If a man builds a boat from scratch, he remembers every detail about it. He recalls the splinters, and how to avoid them. He recalls the hours invested and the sacrifices made to build a vessel that will withstand the storms and hold up over time. If a man just reads of building a boat, he can only tell you what he read.

    When Jesus taught with authority it was because He knew what it took to build a life. Not like the scribes who read about it, yet never met the builder. Christians have met the builder. Better yet, we have a testimony of what He built into our lives.     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

  When you share Christ with others,
do you speak as one with authority?

JANUARY 10, 2022 – Trust In God’s Care

Trust In God’s Care

JANUARY 10, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 18-20 / Matthew 6:16-34

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Some have read this verse and feel they must do nothing. They read it as though God is going to supply, so I do not have to do anything. Read it again. God cares for the birds, but they still must look for, go, and retrieve the worms He has set out for them.

    Others read this and live like they do not believe it. They think they have done everything on their own. They forget who gave them oxygen and health.

    God loves and cares for us. Look at how He keeps all of nature in balance. This includes us.     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

  How much more do you believe He cares for you
than birds?

JANUARY 8 & 9, 2022 – It’s Special!

It’s Special!

JANUARY 8 & 9, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 15-17 / Matthew 6:1-15
Daily Reading – No Reading on Sunday

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    “Hallowed be thy Name.” The term Hallowed is not one we use too often today. However, Hallowed is so important in this prayer. You see God’s name is special. Hallowed means set apart from all others, Holy, Sanctified, or Pure. It is not like Frank or George. It is Special.

    It says in the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:7, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” In essence He is saying, My Name is Special, treat it so.

   Sadly, today we all too often here people use Jesus, Oh God, or Christ, as part of comments that have nothing to do with Him.

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

How can we Hallow His name in our heart,
and help others do the same?

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.

JANYUARY 07, 2022 – It’s An Earth Thing

It’s An Earth Thing

JANUARY 07, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 12-14 / Matthew 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Some things happen to both born-again and the lost, and there is nothing we can do to change that. As our verse says, when the sun shines, it shines on everyone. When the rains pour, everybody gets wet. When the winds blow, floods come, and snow falls, we all are subject to it. So, it is with other things as well. We all get old, all face illness, and all must die.

    My friend, it is an earth thing. While here however, we can choose what happens in the life to come. The saved have chosen Christ and therefore, a life with Him where many of these things are done away. The lost by default choose eternal torment.     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

    What choice have you made for your
eternal life to come?

JANYUARY 06, 2022 – Gloom And Doom!

Gloom And Doom!

JANUARY 06, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 9-11 / Matthew 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   Winters have always been a gloomy time in Michigan. It seems as if the sun just goes behind the clouds and hibernates until spring. Many people get feelings of depression and weariness because of this lack of sun. This is the picture we are to get from the phrase, “shadow of death.” Standing in a shadow is caused by something coming between the sun and us. How gloomy it is to stand in the shadow of death.

    When Jesus steps into their life it says, “light is sprung up.” As the sun is refreshing on a gloom filled day, the SON is also refreshing on a doom filled life. How might we let the light of Christ shine through us to brighten someone’s life today?     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

  How might we let the light of Christ shine through us to brighten someone’s life today?
