"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 6 January 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: John 17:16-19 "They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they may also be sanctified by the truth."
Sanctify means, "to set apart." There are two ways that we as Christians can understand this statement: (1) as separate for holiness, or (2) set apart for service. According to the first view, Jesus was praying not only that the disciples should be kept from evil, but that they should be advanced in holiness. However in verse 18, sanctification seems to refer to the mission of the disciples, indicating that sanctify may also mean that Jesus was setting apart His disciples for this.
"Your word of truth," is a strong statement of the confidence of Jesus in the veracity of Scripture. Peoples opinions may vary, and experiences are notoriously untrustworthy, but God's Word will always throughout eternity remain true.
When applied in Scripture the term "inerrancy" means, "that what God revealed and inspired is accurate, reliable, authoritative, and without error." Since all Scripture is inspired, every Word of God is true. Just as a book often reflects the character of its writer, so the Scripture is without error, because God is without fault.
Jesus upheld the principle of inerrancy when He preached in Nazareth. While in the temple, Jesus read from Isaiah 61:1-2, but he carefully stopped reading in the middle of a verse before announcing the fulfillment of Scripture that day (Luke 4:18-19). The rest of that passage from Isaiah will be fulfilled at His Second Coming. As we as Christians, read the Scriptures, we can have total confidence in the reliability, and accuracy of the Word of God.
God's way is not to take us out of this world, but to take the world out of us. The Greek word "hagiazo" means, to set a person apart from sin and from evil, so that we, as His children might glorify Him.
Today's Hymn: "It Is No Secret What God can Do"
The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through, someone slipped and fell, was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength, your courage to renew. Do not be disheartened, I have news for you.
It is no secret what God can do, what He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you, it is no secret what God can do
Heavenly father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are Lord that when we came to You and became a child of the King, that Holy Spirit replaced the things of the world in our life's and replace it with doing things for Jesus and seeking to bring to You the lost out of darkness into the light. As we read Thy Word may You open our minds and our understanding to what we read and may we apply Thy Word to our Hearts that we might not sin against Thee. Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "The ultimate reason for believers to know the love of God, is so that God's Love may replicated in them, thus drawing the entire world to Christ."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Pray for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel. 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."
