God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Thursday 25 August 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Chrisy for 25 August 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:18,19 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.  For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

The word "fool" or "foolish" indicates those who look at reality with a distorted perspective, typically because they fail to take God into account.

The message of the cross is the gospel, the Good News about Christ's death and resurrection for our sins.  The gospel penetrates to the core of self centeredness.. For those who exalt self, the message sounds absurd.  But for those who bow humbly in faith, it becomes the power that is able to take us from death and give us eternal life.

We as Christians must hold to the central reality of our faith, Christ, for He is the source of all our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

Today's Hymn: "Christ Liveth In Me"

As rays of light from yonder sun, the flowers of earth set free
So life and light and love come forth, from Christ living in me
Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me
Oh! What salvation this, that Christ liveth in me

Heavenly father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank you Jesus, that because of the Cross of Calvary, and because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we as believers have been released from the death penalty, that we deserve, and have been given the promise of eternal life through You.
                                                                                                                                              Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Only through faith in Christ can we be saved  from our sins."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of their troubles.  The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit." (Psalm 34:17,18)
