Memory Verse: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

Statistics tell us that 95 percent of all Christians have never led someone to Christ. It doesn’t have to be that way. The problem is that for many, the Great Commission is perceived more as the Great Suggestion. For others, the Great Commission is the Great Omission.

Psalms 67

The success of a farmer depends on his understanding, and complying with, the laws and principles on which God bestows a harvest; the preservation of health, the restoration of health when we are sick, depends on a knowledge of the great laws which God has ordained for the continuance of the healthy functions of our bodies, and on the use of the means which he has provided for restoring health when those functions are disordered; and, in like manner, the salvation of the soul depends on the right understanding of the method which God has appointed to secure his favor.   Albert Barnes Notes on Whole Bible Psalms 67, verse2.

Psalms 22:19-31

David was truly a great king, and his impact on history is great, but the rescue of an earthly king would not result in the dominion of God over the whole earth and the enlistment of posterity for the purpose of proclaiming His righteousness to future generations. The last five verses make sense only in the light of the consequences proceeding from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. https://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/OTeSources/19-Psalms/Text/Articles/Heinemann-Ps22-BS.pd

Daily Dose of God's Word For September 24th

Daily Dose of God's Word For 9-24

We think of missionaries as God's "super servants," Jesus' Navy Seals. The word "missionary" is never used in the Bible, however, not even once. That's because all of God's people are sent; all of God's people are commanded to go. There is no "special class" of sent ones. J. D. Geear Gaining by Losing, Zondervan, 2015, p. 34.

 Albert Barns writes on 1 Kings 8:43; "Solomon prays that the result of Yahweh‘s hearing the prayers of pagans addressed toward the temple may be the general conversion of the world to the worship of Him"

Have you ever seen a person who was receiving a blood transfusion? The blood was precious, life-giving, and certainly not repulsive. The blood of Christ may seem to be a grim and repulsive subject . . .[but] the blood of Christ is precious.” ― Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes

Memory Verse: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

Matthew 26:20-30

The secret mystery of life was in the blood of animals and men. (Gen. 9:4; Lev. 7:26, 27; Acts 15:20.) Jesus here declares that his life was offered as the great means and way of salvation for men. His blood represents his life. (John 6:54-56; Col. 1:20; Heb. 9:12, 14, 22; 1 Pet. 1:2; 1 John 1:7.) This blood was shed for the remission of sins; it was "poured out for many unto remission of sins. Henry Boles

At the end of the plagues in the book of Exodus, the Israelites were told to kill an unblemished lamb and put the blood of it on their doorposts, so that the spirit of God would literally pass over (where they get Passover from) the houses and spare them from death. Once again, the color (blood is red…just a reminder!) has two meanings: death, because the lamb shed its blood, but also redemption because it spared those who had it on their doorposts.

Pray 

Lord, your good news brings healing to our bodies, minds, and spirits. Teach us the necessity and power of asking the right questions, and help us live the answers as living members of that new social order which is your body. Amen.  http://commonprayer.net/
