It Is What Comes From The Inside That Defiles You.


It
Is What Comes
From The Inside That Defiles You.
Scripture
Mark 7
20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 
21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 
22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 
23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
Observation
Hasn't Halloween now become a huge moneymaker for businesses in America. I read somewhere that people will spend 2.6 billion dollars on Halloween this year, an average of $25 per adult.
And tonight Kathy and I look forward to all the kids (especially our grandkids) coming to our door wearing their spooky masks and Halloween costumes thinking that they are going to scare us!
Yes, our kids and our grandkids will wear masks tonight on Halloween. But hey, all of us adults wear masks too, the difference is that we adults wear them every day.
On the outside we appear one way, but inside of each one of us lurks everything evil that is described in Mark 7:20-23.
I memorized this verse a long time ago as a reminder to me about what is lurking inside of me. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
Application
I realize that I am a sinner. I know that I am broken. I know that I am capable of every evil thing that Jesus describes in Mark 7.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. 
2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that you keep my children and my grandchildren safe tonight as they go out trick o' treating. I pray that You keep them well. Continue to heal our daughter Debby.
I pray that You will help me to be a person of integrity. Help me to walk in purity. Keep me away from stupid sins. Sins that mess up my walk with You and that will mess up my relationship with those around me. I know that my heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. So help me to guard my heart.

Why Do The Wicked Prosper, Growing Old And Powerful?


Why
Do The
Wicked Prosper, Growing Old And Powerful?
Scripture
Job 21
7 “Why do the wicked prosper,
    growing old and powerful?
8 They live to see their children grow up and settle down,
    and they enjoy their grandchildren.
9 Their homes are safe from every fear,
    and God does not punish them.
10 Their bulls never fail to breed.
    Their cows bear calves and never miscarry.
11 They let their children frisk about like lambs.
    Their little ones skip and dance.
12 They sing with tambourine and harp.
    They celebrate to the sound of the flute.
13 They spend their days in prosperity,
    then go down to the grave[a] in peace.
14 And yet they say to God, ‘Go away.
    We want no part of you and your ways.
15 Who is the Almighty, and why should we obey him?
    What good will it do us to pray?’
16 (They think their prosperity is of their own doing,
    but I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.)
17 “Yet the light of the wicked never seems to be extinguished.
    Do they ever have trouble?
    Does God distribute sorrows to them in anger?
18 Are they driven before the wind like straw?
    Are they carried away by the storm like chaff?
    Not at all!
Observation
My younger sister Bea is also reading through the Bible just like I do every year and yesterday she told me that she is also reading through Job right now. She shared with me that reading through Job was depressing and I told her that every year I struggle as I go through it myself!
Who can blame Job for what he shares in Job 21 when he thinks about his life compared to the lives of the wicked and ungodly around him? Haven't you done the same thing? I sure have! How come the ungodly seem to prosper and do so well financially? It sure looks like someone is blessing them.
I would be surprised (and I wouldn't believe you) if you said that you have never had that thought!
You and I have an advantage that Job did not have. We have the complete Bible. We have the big picture! We know how the story ends … Job did not, at least not like we do.
Maybe you feel a lot like Job did when he shared his feelings with his so-called friends. Maybe you also feel like you are getting a bum deal from God.
God loves me and you! He has big plans for us. He has plans for us that will last for eternity. He has something planned for us that is so good that we can't even begin to imagine how good that it is going to be.
So let's not compare ourselves with those around us. Let's look up and trust Him!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MESSAGE
So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.
And Job did not have the advantage of being able to read Psalm 37 like we can!
Psalm 37
1 Don’t worry about the wicked
    or envy those who do wrong.
2 For like grass, they soon fade away.
    Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you your heart’s desires.
5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
    and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
    or fret about their wicked schemes.
16 It is better to be godly and have little
    than to be evil and rich.
35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people
    flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
36 But when I looked again, they were gone!
    Though I searched for them, I could not find them!
Application
When I am struggling with problems and difficulties I will do my best not to compare myself with those around me and I will do my best to keep my eyes on Jesus.
How about you? … Why me? … Why not me!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, this world is not my home. I am just passing through. I am reminded that You have told me in Your Word that I am going to experience trouble in this life. And You told me in that same verse to have courage because Jesus has conquered this world. (John 16:33) You have also told me that what lies ahead for me is so wonderful that it is incomprehensible! (1 Corinthians 2:9) So thank You, Lord, for taking such good care of me.
I pray for those struggling right now with health issues, financial issues, relationship issues. Help them to trust in You. Help them to see their situation from Your perspective.

“Who Is This Man?” They Asked Each Other. “Even The Wind And Waves Obey Him!”


“Who Is This Man?”
They Asked Each Other.
“Even The Wind And Waves Obey Him!”
Scripture
Mark 4
35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 
36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 
37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.
38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 
40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”
Observation
Maybe you, like the disciples of Jesus, are going through a rough time and maybe you too feel like you are about to sink.
Yesterday, was a difficult day at the Williams' house.
We kept getting text messages from our daughter Debby asking us if she should go to the emergency room. She had been sick for about 2 weeks and instead of getting better she had gotten worse.
Finally late in the afternoon yesterday she went to Urgent Care and they told her to go to the emergency room. They admitted her last night to treat her for pneumonia. She was one sick girl when we saw her in the emergency room.
I was glad to hear my daughter say to us last night as we were visiting her in the ER, “I prayed and I asked the Lord to show me whether I needed to go to the hospital or not.”
I am so glad that my daughter relied on the 'One' who with a word calms the wind and the seas.
Yes, her Mom and Dad were also praying, we were crying out to God to help our daughter.
Application
Thank You, Lord, that You always hear my prayers!
How about you? Who are you calling on to help you in times of trouble?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for helping our daughter with the decision of whether or not to go to the hospital. I pray and ask You to heal her completely. Meet every need of her life. Show her that You are able and willing to take care of her.
I pray for any person reading this blog today. Help them to trust You with the storms that they are facing. Give them Your strength. Help them to trust completely in You!

This Is Blasphemy! Only God Can Forgive Sins!


This Is Blasphemy!
Only
God Can Forgive Sins!
Scripture
Mark 2
2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, 

3 four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. 

4 They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. 

5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

6 But some of the teachers of religious law who were sitting there thought to themselves, 
7 “What is he saying? This is blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!”
Observation
The Jewish leaders understood that only God can forgive our sins. They understood that Jesus was claiming to be God when He said, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”
Maybe you, just like these Jewish leaders, refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is God. If that is the case then I feel very sad for you. I hope before your life is over that you will have a change of heart!
It is not good people that go to Heaven and bad people that go to Hell. It is forgiven people that go to Heaven.
Colossians 1
13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

Christ Is Supreme

15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
    He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
16 for through him God created everything
    in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
    and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
    Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
    and he holds all creation together.
18 Christ is also the head of the church,
    which is his body.
He is the beginning,
    supreme over all who rise from the dead.[f]
    So he is first in everything.
19 For God in all his fullness
    was pleased to live in Christ,
20 and through him God reconciled
    everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
    by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
21 This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. 
22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
1 John 2:12
I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
Matthew 10:32-33
32 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.

Application
There was a time in my life when I was not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, so I will never give up on people now who are presently not followers of Jesus.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, if there is someone reading this simple blog today who doesn't believe in Jesus I pray that You cause them to believe. Do whatever it takes to make a believer out of them. Open up their spiritual eyes, soften their hard heart, cause them to turn to You for salvation. Show them that what the Bible says about Jesus is true. Show them that He is both Savior and Lord.

My Heart Has Heard You Say, “Come And Talk With Me.” And My Heart Responds, “Lord, I Am Coming.”


My Heart Has Heard You Say,
“Come And Talk With Me.”
And My Heart Responds, “Lord, I Am Coming.”
Scripture
Psalm 27
7 Hear me as I pray, O Lord.
    Be merciful and answer me!

8 My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
    And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”
14 Wait patiently for the Lord.
    Be brave and courageous.
    Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Psalm 37
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

4 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you your heart’s desires.

5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.

6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
    and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
    or fret about their wicked schemes.
23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
    He delights in every detail of their lives.
24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
    for the Lord holds them by the hand.
25 Once I was young, and now I am old.
    Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
    or their children begging for bread.
Observation
Like probably many of you I have been fighting a cold for the past couple of days. During the night last night, I spent a few hours trying to sleep in a recliner so my coughing didn't wake up Kathy.
And as I write this you can just imagine how good I feel.
It is on days like this when it is great to spend some extra time in the Psalms.
Psalm 27 and Psalm 37 are perfect on a day like today … “The Lord rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble.” (Psalm 37:39)
Application
No matter what I am going through I know that the Lord is with me and He will take care of me.
How about you? Are you trusting in the Lord to take care of you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, it only takes a common cold for me to realize how much I appreciate being healthy and feeling well most of the time. I know we take our health too much for granted. Thank You for taking such good care of me. I am blessed. Lord, it would sure be nice if this cold didn't last too long. And I know that You are the only One who knows the cure to the common cold. I have tried all the known remedies and they are not helping too much right now.
I pray for a friend who is facing heart by-pass surgery. I pray for healing. Show him how real You are. Show him that He can trust You during this difficult time.

Do You Think You Can Persuade Me To Become A Christian So Quickly?


Do You Think
You Can Persuade Me
To Become A Christian So Quickly?
Scripture
Acts 26
28 Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”
29 Paul replied, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except for these chains.”
Observation
When I am with someone who is not a Christian my heart's desire is that they will become the same as I am.
I know that if they surrender their lives to Christ they will get to experience all that I get to experience and they will get to live for eternity with me in Heaven.
I don't know about you, but it breaks my heart as I watch unbelievers live out their life filled with drama, drama, and more drama when they could be living an abundant life when they could be living out a life filled with God's peace, a peace that passes all understanding.
Are you tired of all the drama? Surrender your life to Jesus Christ today!
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
Psalm 29:11
The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.
Romans 8:6
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Application
I will always be ready to tell someone about Jesus!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I want my children and my grandchildren to have a personal relationship with You. I don't want them to live life without meaning and without purpose. I don't want their lives to be filled with drama, drama, and more drama. I want them to experience Your peace. I want them to experience all that You created them for. And I want that for everyone.

O Lord, I Give My Life To You.


O Lord,
I
Give My Life To You.
Scripture
Psalm 25
1 O Lord, I give my life to you.
2 I trust in you, my God! ...
Observation

King David understood what it took to be successful in life. Have you learned the secret?
Most people haven't learned it and life for them is nothing like it ought to be. If you and I want to experience life the way our Creator might for us to experience it then you and I need to daily surrender our lives to Him.
Are you having a rough time right now? Do you feel empty inside and does life lack meaning and purpose?
King David has a solution for you and it is found in Psalm 25:1 “O Lord, I give my life to you.”
Surrender! Let God be number One in your life today and things will start to make sense!
Every day we wake up we have a choice to make … we either live out the day with God being number one in our life or we take that number one spot for our self or we let some other person or we let some 'thing' take the number one spot.
Application
Lord, I give my life to you today. I trust in you. Take charge of my life today! I want You to be in control.
How about you? Who is in charge of your life?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for letting me know that when I put You first in my life then You will take care of everything that I need. Wow! Remind me of that promise every time I start to doubt that You have promised to take care of me.
Help any person that may read this blog today realize that all the need to do to live a victorious life is put You first in his or her life. It is a daily decision. Bless them, Lord, as they put You first.
Matthew 6:33
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need

But My Life Is Worth Nothing To Me Unless I Use It For Finishing The Work Assigned Me By The Lord Jesus


But My Life Is Worth Nothing To Me
Unless I Use It For Finishing The Work
Assigned Me By The Lord Jesus
Scripture
Acts 20
24 But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
Observation
Let's Finish Well. …
I wrote this blog on the morning of October 24, 2011. I didn't know that in just a few hours after writing it that our lives would change forever.
At 10 PM on October 24, 2011, I experienced a massive heart attack. Many of you prayed for my recovery. With less than a 5 % chance of survival after the 14-hour surgery it must have looked pretty gloomy to all of you who were praying for me.
But today Kathy and I will celebrate 8 more years of life because you prayed. This blog that I wrote 8 years ago is still the desire of my life!
… written on October 24, 2011
I want to finish well. I want my life to count for the kingdom. I don't want to retire. I don't want to slow down. I want to finish well.
I want to make a difference in the lives of as many people as possible.
There has been a job that has been assigned to me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Do you want to finish well too?
Application
Today I want to count. I want to make a difference in someone's life.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I want to finish well. I want to complete my task. I want You to smile at my life. Don't let me mess up. Don't let me settle for something less than what You have for me. Put people in my life today that need to hear about You.

Because The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Have Everything I Need!


Because
The Lord Is My Shepherd,
I Have Everything I Need!
Scripture
Psalm 23
1 Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
Observation
It is never-ending. You and I being bombarded by people trying to get us to buy or try something newer, sleeker, improved, bigger, better, faster, tastier, and/or prettier!
Now, you can see it on the internet, order it, and have it delivered to your home or business the very next day!
Oh, but if you and I are content with what we have that hurts … it hurts their bottom line!
Until Jesus is enough - nothing will ever be enough!
One relationship one after another, one toy one after another, shinier, bigger, newer, prettier, handsome-er (is that even a word), without Jesus, nothing will ever satisfy our deepest needs – we will never ever be content!
Philippians 4:11-13
11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.
12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
I Timothy 6:6-12
6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 
8 So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
9 But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. 
10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Application
Jesus is enough for me. I will ask my Heavenly Father to help me to stay contented with what I have.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be content right where I am. Don't let me covet. Don't let me be jealous of what someone else has or what someone else gets to do. Constantly remind me that I have everything that I need. I have a personal relationship with You.
I pray for those who are unhappy in their marriage, unhappy with their partner, unhappy with their situation in life. Help them to see that until Jesus is enough they will never be content.

“Sirs, What Must I Do To Be Saved?” They Replied, “Believe In The Lord Jesus And You Will Be Saved ...”


“Sirs, What Must I Do To Be Saved?”
They Replied,
“Believe In The Lord Jesus And You Will Be Saved ...”
Scripture
Acts 16
22 A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods. 
23 They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape. 
24 So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.
25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. 
26 Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! 
27 The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself. 
28 But Paul shouted to him, “Stop! Don’t kill yourself! We are all here!”
29 The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 
30 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” 
32 And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. 
33 Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized. 
34 He brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God.
Observation
Paul and Silas were severely beaten with wooden rods and then they were placed in the inner dungeon with their feet clamped in stocks.
So what would you do if that happened to you? What would I do if that happened to me?
What Paul and Silas did in the middle of the night, at midnight, had all the other prisoners listening and what they did caused a massive earthquake.
What they did caused all the doors in the prison to fly open and all the chains on every prisoner to suddenly fall off. Yet not one prisoner even tried to escape!
What did they do to cause all of this?
The severely beaten Paul and Silas, at midnight, began to pray and began to sing hymns, with everyone in the jail listening!
I love this story. It is all about God's love for a jailer.
God didn't send the earthquake to free Paul and Silas! He didn't send the earthquake to free any of the other prisoners either.
No, God sent the earthquake and God caused all the chains to fall off of all of the prisoners, not to free any of them, but to set a jailer and his family free ... free from the penalty of their sins!
What an amazing story!
Here is one take home, one lesson from this story for me: when I face adversity, when I face trials and hardships, the way I handle them can cause someone who is watching me turn to Christ.
That is if I handle my bad circumstances, the way Paul and Silas handled theirs!
Application
God is working in my life all the time, during the good times and the bad. Even when circumstances are not good I know that God expects me to praise Him, talk to Him, and trust Him.
Prayer

Heavenly Father, I want to be like Paul and Silas. I want to be able to praise You no matter what is going on in my life. Give me a heart like theirs! They didn't complain about their wounds or their pain. They prayed and sang praises to You. Help me to have that kind of faith.
I pray for any person reading this blog today who is going through adversity. I pray for those who are suffering. Encourage them through this story of Paul and Silas and the jailer. Shake the ground wherever they are at with Your power. Give them Your strength. Help them to know that You are Sovereign and that You are in control even when things seem totally out of control and seem to be heading in the wrong direction.
Daily Bible Reading: Job 11,12; Acts 15,16

> I have made it a habit to pray for those who read this blog! I enjoy lifting you and your family up to the Lord in prayer.
