Now knowing that the Bible is true in this life,<br />
There should be no reason to doubt that it will not be true in the next life.<br />
<br />
What does the Bible say about leaving this life ?<br />
<br />
(1 Peter 3:18) Christ suffered for our sins once for all time.<br />
He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God.<br />
He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit.<br />
<br />
(1 Corinthians 15:42) It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead.<br />
Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, <br />
but they will be raised to live forever.<br />
<br />
(2 Samuel 14:14) All of us must die eventually.<br />
Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground,<br />
which cannot be gathered up again.<br />
But God does not just sweep life away; instead,<br />
He devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from Him.<br />
<br />
(2 Corinthians 5:1) For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down,<br />
(that is when we die and leave this earthly body) <br />
We will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God <br />
and not by human hands.<br />
<br />
(John 14:1-3) Do not let your heart be troubled believe in God, believe in Jesus.<br />
He said, in my Father's house are many dwelling places if it were not so,<br />
I would have told you for I go to prepare a place for you.<br />
I will come again and receive you myself that where I'm there you may be also.<br />
<br />
Everyone has Grief & Pain over their loss of a loved one. <br />
No one is ever really ready to part with a loved one.<br />
This is part of our life that will be missed.<br />
We give thanks to our Heavenly Father for having them for a short time.<br />
We rest knowing that our loved one's spirit is with the Lord in His Heavenly House.<br />
Our loved one is free of pain and where there is no more sorrow.<br />
<br />
We cherish those happy memories until we are together again. Heavenly Father, <br />
we must find joy that our loved one has finally received through thy grace a peaceful rest. <br />
So smile as you look towards Heaven, our loved one now has all sunny days.<br />
Do not feel sad for they have known our love. May we today look forward to the time,<br />
when we will be with all our loved ones and our Heavenly Father.<br />
<br />
(Numbers 6:24-26)<br />
The Lord bless you and keep you.<br />
The Lord makes His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.<br />
The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.<br />

Thoughts for Today:</h3>

<strong>Previously the leaders of the church at Antioch had been instructed by the Holy Spirit to, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." If the Holy Spirit spoke to the church right know about setting you aside for service, then the church would need to assign your current duties to someone else, because the Spirit was going to use you in another way. For Barnabas and Saul that would mean packing their bags as they would be going on a journey. Saul had been a Christian for 12 to 14 years, Barnabas for much longer. They both loved to travel and share the good news about the Lord, so it was clear to them that when they received the Holy Spirit's instruction it was time to hit the road.<br /><br /> So now that we see what Barnabas and Saul did when they were called, what would you do if you were called? Remember, the leadership of the church wasn't given specific instructions on what they were to do (it was only given to Barnabas and Saul). If you can't answer that question, then take note of the last part of verse 5, "John was with them as their helper." Now this seems like a pretty innocent verse, however it gives a big answer to those of you who are not sure about where or how you should be serving -- start by helping someone else who is clear about their calling by the Holy Spirit. Watch, listen and learn just like John did.<br /><br /> John was his Jewish name and Mark was his Roman name. We know him as the constant companion of Paul or Barnabas. He was not only a missionary but ultimately a leader of the new church and author of the second book of the New Testament, the Gospel of Mark. Not a bad resume for someone who started out as a helper.</strong></div>

<strong>Follow John Mark's example: start by helping. It is only by getting started in ministry that you will truly find yourself and your calling. Jesus did not come to be served but to serve. What about you?</strong></div>

The importance of The 10 Commandments</h1>
After 400 years of slavery in Egypt, God brought His people out and gave them a standard for living as His chosen people. We call these laws the 10 Commandments. Today, there is some controversy about whether or not the 10 Commandments are relevant. Paul tells us that "All scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16 ESV). This is true of the 10 Commandments.<br />
<br />
The 10 Commandments show us where we fall short of God’s standard for holiness and drive us to repentance. They also serve as a quick code of conduct on how we should live our lives each day.<br />
Because of this, knowing the 10 Commandments can help as you share God’s standard and His plan for salvation with others. Intimidated? Don’t be! Renowned speaker and author, Jack Lannom, explains how we can visualize the 10 Commandments in order to remember them.<br />

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.33em;">D. L. Moody was criticized for his methods of evangelism. </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 1.33em;">Moody's reply was "<em>I agree with you. I don't like the way I do it either. Tell me, how do you do it?</em>" The person replied, "<em>I don't do it." </em>Moody replied,<strong><em> "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Then I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.</span></em>" </strong></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em;">Even a lousy method of sharing the Good News is better than no method at all. Here are <strong>3 Super Cool Ideas for sharing the Good News from the Amazing Members of The League! </strong></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em;">Try them and let us know how they worked. You might even take a photo, or selfie of you in action. Send us your stories and photos to <a href="mailto:selfie@ptl.org" style="color: #cc0033;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0033;"><strong>selfie@ptl.org</strong></span></a>. We’ll share it with our Members. And we’ll send you another supply of pocket-sized Gospels of John.</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em;">One elderly gal who was homebound would put a Gospel of John in the envelope with every bill she paid. What a creative thing to do if you can’t get out of the house. And she prayed for the person who might open the envelope and receive it. </span></li>
<li style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em;">At the drive through at Starbucks one member gave a Gospel of John to the attendant at the window as a gift. Then she gave her $10 extra dollars to cover the cost of the coffee of the person in the car behind her. Double blessing with that double espresso! </span></li>
<li style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 12px 0px 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em;">Lorraine in Cherry Valley, CA makes quilts for our military and includes a Gospel of John with each one. So precious! </span></li>

<strong>In our passage today, Paul asks us: "How will he not also, along with Him [Jesus], graciously give us all things?" Embedded within this phrase is the idea "all good things." I think Paul's point is simply this: If it's a good thing, God will give it to us because He's already demonstrated His goodness, generosity, grace, and mercy when He gave us the best gift of all -- Jesus Christ!</strong></div>

<strong>The word "spiritual" used here is translated from the Greek work "logikos" and means "worship which is rendered by the reason or the soul." It is the root of our English word "logic". Think for a moment about where we have been through the first eleven chapters of Romans. Paul asks us to take all of this into account: "Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices--this is your spiritual act of worship." Paul brings forward all that God has done for us; now he tells us that yielding to God's will is our only logical, appropriate, and acceptable response. In fact, it is how we worship Him.<br /><br />Sometimes things just need to be placed in the proper perspective. I think this is Paul's point in our passage today: Obedience to God is our only logical, appropriate, and acceptable response to everything He has done for us. It's just once in a while we need very specific instruction. Paul gives it to us today as "this is your spiritual act of worship."</strong></div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans","Lucida Sans Unicode",Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin-right: 20px;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>This is perhaps my favorite Scripture. It is simple and straightforward -- and completely reassuring. How so? Because God didn't change His mind about Israel despite their short-comings, therefore He won't change His mind about me! Even if we're faithless, He remains faithful because He cannot deny His nature. 2 Timothy <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1460861232" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">2:19</span></span></span>: "Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and, 'Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.'"</strong></span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size: small;"><strong>In our passage today, Paul tells us "God's gifts and His call are irrevocable." That means, no matter how badly we mess up, God will continue to hang in there with us. Sometimes we might feel as if our sinfulness is too great, or perhaps we've been testing the mercy and patience of God in rebellion. We might even know that if we continue down these paths we will eventually feel the repercussions of our acts. However, even though we may not deserve it -- God's not through with us -- because the gifts and call of God are irrevocable. He doesn't take them back, no matter how off course we might become.<br /><br /> Let's take a moment and look at Peter. Peter swore he did not know Jesus. Why? Because a little girl said, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth." (Matthew 26:71) Despite knowing Jesus is alive, Peter was so disgusted and thoroughly disappointed with himself that he went back to fishing. The same is true for us when we foul things up in our own lives: We go back to the same old places, habits, and former friends. And we too come up empty-handed. John 21:3: "So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing."<br /><br /> But then a voice calls out, "Put your net down on the right side of the boat." John 21:6b: "When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish." And what did they find when they got back to shore? That's right, fish roasting on the fire. The very thing they had gone in search of was right there in the hand of Jesus. John 21:12-13: "Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.' None of the disciples dared ask him, 'Who are you?' They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish."<br /><br /> Jesus then asked Peter, "Do you love me?" He didn't say, "Peter, you've really messed up badly so I'm going to put you on probation for a year." Rather, He said, "Feed my lambs...take care of my sheep...feed my sheep...and follow me!" (John 21:15-19) The Lord says the same thing to us when we've failed to live up to our responsibilities: "Get going again. Pick yourself up. Feed my flock. Do what you were doing before you digressed into sin." Only the Lord shows that kind of grace. Not people, schools, governments, review boards, or even churches. But Jesus does. He says, "Follow me, because my gifts and my call are irrevocable."</strong></span></div>

<strong>At the present time God has set aside the Jews. He is not finished with them, He is just not dealing with them as a nation right now. Think about Paul's point for a moment: If the world has been blessed because of the Jews' transgressions, how much more so will the world be blessed when they stand in belief and submission to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? When will this happen? In the kingdom age, this is when Jesus returns to rescue the people of Israel from destruction at the end of the Tribulation.<br /><br /> One might wonder: If the setting aside of the Jews brought God's grace to the Gentiles, what happens to the grace of God toward the Gentiles when the Jews are received again? It will be multiplied. James explains this to the great council in Jerusalem (Acts 15:13-17): "When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me. Simon has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written [quoting from Amos 9:11-12]: 'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things.'" In other words, God is calling out a people (the Gentiles) for His name, at the same time He is calling out the Jews.</strong></div>

<strong>Salvation and eternal life are secure for the believer because of the following four works of Jesus Christ:<br /><br /> 1. Christ died for our sin. His life was delivered as payment for our transgressions.<br /><br /> 2. Christ was raised from death to life. He was raised for our justification.<br /><br /> 3. Christ is seated at the right hand of God. In our passage today, Paul tells us Jesus "is at the right hand of God". We also know from Mark <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730319017" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">16:19</span></span></span>: "After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God." If by comparison we look at the temple or the tabernacle we see no seat -- no place to sit. Why? Because the work of the Old Testament priest would never be finished. However, just before He died our Great High Priest Jesus Christ said in John <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_730319018" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">19:30</span></span></span>, "It is finished." So why is Jesus seated? Because the work is finished.<br /><br /> 4. Christ is interceding for us. Did you pray this morning? If not, you should have. But not to worry, whether you did or did not -- because Christ is right now making intercessions for us.<br /><br /> These four works of Jesus Christ are the reasons why no one -- before God -- can condemn the acts of His chosen people. We have been forgiven.</strong></div>

<strong>This society of ours seems to be dedicated to removing every last bit of suffering from our lives. But try as we might, we cannot completely eliminate suffering. We might not be so anxious to avoid suffering if we took a moment to look at it from God's perspective. Consider the following:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Job 36:15: "But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction." I don't know about you, but during my greatest periods of suffering is when God has spoken to me most clearly. (Or perhaps I was more attentive.)</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Hebrews 12:7: "Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?" All too often we view hardship (suffering) as punishment. In fact, we often see discipline in much the same way. But isn't teaching a child to become successful through discipline -- in thought and action -- one of the goals of fatherhood?</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Psalm 119:50: "My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." While in suffering I've also learned to depend exclusively on the Lord -- sometimes because there was no other choice.</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>The point Paul makes in our passage today is twofold. First, these periods of suffering provide insight into what it is like to have a close, personal relationship with the Father (in other words, the closeness we experience is a preview or a taste of the "glory that will be revealed in us" for all of eternity). And second, whatever pain we suffer will be nothing when viewed from an eternal perspective</strong>.</div>

<strong>In our passage today Paul quotes Isaiah 28:16b: "...the one who trusts will never be dismayed." The King James Version of this passage is: "...he that believeth shall not make haste." So what is the appropriate translation? Is it: never be put to shame; never be dismayed; or not make haste? What is the difference? All of these translations encapsulate the meaning of the Hebrew word chuwsh, which means to "flee with alarm".<br /><br /> In other words, Jesus is never going to embarrass, He will never disappoint or discourage, and we won't need to rush off in a hurry because we're either humiliated or disheartened. Why? Because Scripture works. It works in our lives and it certainly works when shared with other people. We never have to wonder, "I hope they understand, I hope it takes, I hope they don't think I'm a fool." Have confidence, Scripture works. Trust in Him! Whoever submits to Jesus' Lordship will never be disappointed. His Word guarantees it.</strong></div>

<strong>Is Jesus known through philosophy? What about theology? Jesus is only known through a child-like simplicity. We come to Him with belief in our hearts that He died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is alive. We make this confession with our mouth, "Jesus is Lord -- my Lord, I believe in my heart that He died for my sins, He is risen, and I am forgiven." So what happens? We are saved. How does it work? I'm not sure. Is it just that easy? Yes.<br /><br /> In our passage today, Paul quotes Deuteronomy 30:14. Let's take a moment and look at the preceding verses (Deuteronomy 30:11-14): "Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, 'Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?' Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, 'Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?' No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it."<br /><br /> God has made it easy for us. All that's required of us is to profess with simple words our simple faith. Why do we make it so much more complicated and difficult? The word is near us -- in our mouth and heart. It's simple. Why? So we may obey. How? Just believe and confess.</strong></div>

<strong>This is a quote from Isaiah <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1055824895" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">8:14</span></span></span> and Isaiah 28:16. Previously, Paul makes the point that Israel has tried it's best to follow laws which should have led to righteousness, but was left without it. However, their greatest error was in ignoring and rejecting the final step in God's plan for redemption. Ephesians 2:20-21: "...built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord."<br /><br /> Consider Jesus' words in the following two passages:<br /><br /> Mark <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1055824896" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">8:34</span></span></span>: "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.' "<br /><br /> John <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1055824897" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">6:37</span></span></span>: "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."<br /><br /> So what does all of this mean? Answer: If we are to be saved we have a responsibility. What is it? To say "No" to the sinful nature ("deny self"), and faithfully follow Jesus. Paul tells us the Jews tried to pursue a righteousness of their own by following the Law. It didn't work for them and it won't work for us. We too will fail if we attempt (like the Jews) to arrive at righteousness through our own meager, self-serving, and prideful enterprises -- it is our "stumbling stone". Perfect righteousness only comes from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.</strong></div>
