A Glimpse at the awful Truth (Nov 29th)

Verse

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

— Revelation 17:3 tniv

Thought

The Spirit carries John away in a vision to see the ghastly, awful truth about Satan's work to destroy the people of God. The vision exposes the great evil done by Satan and reveals his allies who do his work and follow his bidding. Yet underneath this glimpse of evil is the truth the Spirit comes to reveal. Despite the pervasiveness of evil in governmental powers and religious structures, Jesus will triumph and bring victory for his people. We are led to recognize evil so we are not deceived. We are not informed to make us fall back in fear, but to stand firm in our faith, to trust in our Deliverer, to live holy lives in honor of our God, and to look forward to our ultimate vindication and victory. The Spirit is the Spirit of truth!

Prayer

Father God, thank you for the truth — for what is not only factual, but what is also authentic and real. Satan so easily can deceive me and blind me to your truth. Open my eyes, Holy Spirit, to see the Father's truth. Embolden me to live trusting in Jesus' victory. Empower me to trust in your presence to sustain me. To your glory, O God — Father, Son, and Spirit — I live and pray. Amen.

Jesus Will Not Reject You

04/03/2017 04/03/2017 Daily Wisdom

JOHN 6:37 LB 37 But some will come to me--those the Father has given me-- and I will never, never reject them. People may reject you. But Jesus won't. Jesus died for sinners. He loves them and will help them -- if only they will come to Him. Jesus didn't come to condemn us, but to help us. Think of the Bible account of the woman caught in adultery. JOHN 8:11 NIV 11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." Religi..

Jesus Is Your Righteousness

03/03/2017 03/03/2017 Daily Wisdom

ROMANS 5:1 NLT 1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. God offers righteousness as a free gift to everyone who receives the Lord Jesus Christ. Righteousness means right-wise-ness, or being right. So righteousness is right standing, or good standing with God. It does not mean human "perfection." Righteousness is a gift from God -- not something you can earn or achieve. God simply decl..

The Message Of Reconciliation

02/03/2017 02/03/2017 Daily Wisdom

2 CORINTHIANS 5:19 NIV 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. The Good News is about reconciliation between God and man. Jesus Christ accomplished it. Mankind was estranged from God. We had gone our own way, were lost, and couldn't find our way back to fellowship with God. Fortunately, God loved us and did something to help us. Two extremely important ideas are presen..

Why Do Unborn Babies Matter? Just Because They Are

01/03/2017 02/03/2017 American

A few of us were having a conversation yesterday and something a member of the class I lead said reminded me of a quote I had just read and to which all pro-lifers would probably say a hardy “amen.” The great apologist G. K. Chesterton once wrote, “All men matter. You matter. I matter. It’s the hardest thing in theology to believe.” Rob Renfroe took Chesterton’s observation and concluded, “And that God—the God who is big enough to speak all of that [just the part of the universe we know about] ..
