You Will Know the Truth

Some atheists and agnostics are fond of making the ludicrous declaration that “absolute truth is for absolute fools.” Inadvertently, many church-goers are guilty of giving credence to this view. When there’s a disagreement over an important biblical question, someone is likely to end the discussion by observing that “everyone interprets the Bible differently.” Although conflicting…

Ephesians 4:1-3

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3)

Germany

“For God so loved [the people of Germany] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him  should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).    The Federal Republic of Germany is a nation in western-central Europe. Denmark, Poland, the Czech  Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands are bordering  countries. With its population of more than 81 million, Germany is the most populous state in the  European Union. Its capital and largest city is Berlin.    German is the country’s official language. Two-thirds of the German people profess Christianity, but a  significant number of citizens declare themselves to be agnostic, atheist, or irreligious. Today we pray  that every German will believe the truth, for “Without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever  would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Heb. 11:6).    Note: Wikipedia is the source for the geographical information in this feature.

Paralysis in the Body

Paralysis is one of the most distressing afflictions a person can suffer. A healthy body lifts, pushes, pulls, twists, or whatever else it’s told to do. A paralyzed body, however, refuses to work. Because of injury or disease, it is unable to respond to the head’s commands. As physical paralysis handicaps the body, so spiritual…

Luke 1:32-33

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”  Luke 1:32-33

Ps. 34:8-19

O taste and see that the Lord is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! O fear the Lord, you his  saints, for those who fear him have no want! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek  the Lord lack no good thing. Come, O sons, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man  is there who desires life and covets many days, that he may enjoy good? Keep your tongue from evil, and  your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the  Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to  cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and  delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in  spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all (Ps. 34:8-19). 11
