Everything We Need

 

Romans 8:32

...but gave him up for us all --- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

 

 

Thoughts for Today:

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!

 

Questions to Ponder:

 

Is there something you haven't prayed about because you think it is too small or trivial to involve God? Nothing is inconsequential to our Lord. His mercy and grace knows no bounds. Will you come to Him today? Not just with the big problems, but the desires of your heart as well.

Read, Carry, and Share the Word

         

A Very Specific Instruction

Romans 12:1d

this is your spiritual act of worship.

 

 

Thoughts for Today:

 

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.

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."

 

Questions to Ponder:

 

In what area of your life are you having an obedience problem?

What has God said to you that you continue to ignore?

What should be your response? Is it holy and pleasing to God?

Today what will be your spiritual act of worship?

How will you obey God?

"A Story of Perfect Love"

About this Gospel:

What could be a greater example of love than God's love for the human race,

demonstrated through the sacrificial gift of His own Son?

This unique wrap-around cover shows a single red rose, with the title

 "A Story of Perfect Love" positioned like a drop of blood falling from the rose. 

Will you help the “Lost” find their way home?

Greetings,

It is a joy for me to serve our Lord and be with you today.

As a volunteer speaker for the Pocket Testament League,

I am here to invite you to be part of this very meaningful ministry. 

 

Must, we take God's great message of salvation to others ?

The Bible Scripture commands us ;

Mark 16:15 (NIV)

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

 

Scripture tells why we should obey His commands;

John 14:15 (NIV)

"If you love me, you will obey what I command.

Our common objective is to share the Word of God around the world.

Most of us are called to stay and spread the Good News to our part of the world. 

Evangelism can start with each one of us, today, exactly where we are.  

In order to do that, we need to be equipped for our personal outreach.

 

Everyone’s circumstances are not the same so the “Pocket Testament League”

has provided many effective ways for our members to plant those seeds,

of course members can do it or members can sponsor someone else such as;

another member, or partner with a ministry such as a Care Team, food bank,

missionary, nursing home Chaplin,  a gospel in your Church Visitor’s Welcome Package.

 

Sponsors provide gospels to active members who do not have the financial means to

donate, but they have that passion for sharing God’s Word with those in need of salvation. 

Our purpose is to get Pocket-sized Gospels into as many hands and hearts

as possible, but we cannot do this without prayers, members, and sponsors.

Is God calling you to take a part in making known His message ?

Our membership has no fees or dues, we request members to pledge that they will:

“Read God’s Word each day”, 

“Carry God’s Word with them wherever they go”, 

“Share God’s Word as He gives them opportunities”. 

Will you make that pledge ?

Joining The Pocket Testament League takes about a minute on the internet.

Just enter:  www.ptl.org  and visit the signup page just click on “Join Now” and enter

Nothing changes hearts like God’s Word.

Romans 11:29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.     Thoughts for Today:   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 2:19: "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.'" 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. 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." 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." 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."     Questions to Ponder:   Are you in need of a second chance? Have you just messed up your first one horribly? Join the crowd. I am probably on my twentieth chance, yet the Lord still finds a use and purpose for me. Why? Because His gifts and call are irrevocable! Isn't that great news? How will you apply it today? Is it time to get up and begin again?
