TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, `He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'" Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
Mark 16:6-8

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us -- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. Psalms 137:8-9
TODAY'S TOUGH QUESTION:
I am troubled by Psalm 137 verse 9. Who would want to take revenge on babies, and why is this in the Bible?
Psalm 137 is one of a small group of Psalms that are known as "imprecatory" or "curse" psalms. It's possible that those who want to…

We Can Truly Change
. . . that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which
grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit
of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created
according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24
Few things are more universal than the human desire to change for the better. The sheer size of the self-help section in any bookstore is a fair…

The Strong Heart Is Not Callous
I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
Psalm 6:6
If we think the strong don't feel pain, we know little of what strength is about. Soldiers know that courage is not the absence of fear, but fortitude in the face of fear; and those who are truly strong understand that strength is not the absence of pain, but nobility in the face of pain. The strong are those who deeply…

God Is Not Neutral Toward Our Needs
Now may the God of peace . . . make you complete in every good work
to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through
Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:20,21
There is nothing "objective" about God's attitude toward us. We are creatures brought into being by His love, and when a way for us to be redeemed could only be purchased by the life of His Son, He did not stop…

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break… Continue

The man was wearing a dirty flannel
shirt. A gray hat lay beside him.
Another man, George Wilson, arrested for robbing a federal payroll from a train and killing a guard, was judged and sentenced to death. Because there was such a cry against capital punishment at the time, considerable pressure was brought to bear on President Andrew Jackson to grant Wilson a pardon. Eventually the president did but George Wilson refused to accept it.
As this had never happened before, the…

THE BATTLE
Every one of us battles temptation daily. It may be in wanting to take something that doesn't belong to you, to cheat in a difficult situation, or to lie to avoid getting in trouble. Perhaps temptation comes in the form of words that shouldn't be spoken, or attitudes of bitterness and anger. We are tempted in many different ways, and what tempts one person may not at all be a problem for another. Satan knows your weaknesses and your desires so he knows exactly what kind of…

Meeting With God
READ | Jeremiah 24:7
Many of us have been blessed with close friends. Imagine if we never spent time with them but instead just thought and talked about how wonderful these special people are. Wouldn’t such behavior be foolish? Yet some Christians do just that. Despite accumulating vast knowledge about God and the Bible, they miss out on rich fellowship with the Father, ,the best friend anyone could ever have.
It is possible to fill our lives…
