Verse of the Day for Thursday, August 16, 2018:
Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. â 2 Corinthians 7:1
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
In a world so full of distractions and temptations, purity is difficult. Even more than difficult, the call to purity often goes forgotten and ignored. "Cheap grace" (Jude 4) is substituted for a call to passionate living. While we never want to give in to a works righteousness, we also must remember that impurity through laziness or lack of commitment or simple r*******n are contaminating to those claiming to be Christians and ruin our influence before the watching world.
My Prayer...
Purify my heart, my life, my body, my influence, O God. May my words and my thoughts be blameless in your sight. I want to be holy as you are holy and honor you as only you are worthy of honor. You alone are God! Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Friday, August 17, 2018:
"Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. â 2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
We live in a world with skewed values, false promises and fleeting fame. What can we boast in other than the steadfastness of the Lord's love, the incredible riches of the Lord's grace, the incomparable supply of the Lord's blessings, the sweetness of the Lord's people, the mercy of the Lord's plan for our salvation, the promise of the Lord's tomorrow, the.....? What other meaningful boast is there than the Lord and his eternal grace?
My Prayer...
Lord of majesty and mercy, every good and enduring thing in my life I have because of you. While these words are simple, they are heartfelt. In Jesus' name, thank you!

Verse of the Day for Saturday, August 18, 2018:
To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. â Philippians 1:21

Francis Frangipane once said:
When we are baptized in the criticism of man
It inoculates us from the praise of man
So that we die to the control of man
CONTROL (Charismatic witchcraft) has three distinct dimensions:
- Manipulation - which tries to trick you into something
- Intimidation - which tries to scare you into something
- Domination - which attempts to force you into something

Verse of the Day for Sunday, August 19, 2018:
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. â 1 John 5:12
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
This statement is both a reminder of God's glorious grace and also of our need to share that grace with others. Life is such a precious gift, it would be a shame for anyone we know and love to miss out. God gave up the life of his Son so that in finding him, we too could share in his life.
My Prayer...
Father of all nations, resurrect in your people a desire to spread your grace to every language, tribe, nation, and people. Empower us with your Spirit so that we will speak the Gospel of Jesus with boldness and respect to a world who does not know him. Use us to help others come to life in the Son! Through the name of Jesus your Son, we pray. Amen.

As "they" take down our Father's Commandments in certain locations, they allow statues of Baphomet to be erected.
The only Good News from all of this is that our Lord and Savior will be here soon!

The Satanic Temple has unveiled its statue of a goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet in a rally at the Arkansas State Capitol to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the Capitol grounds.

I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. â Psalm 16:8
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
There are many things that can trouble our lives, but none that can shake us loose from the grip of God's grace if our hearts remain pointed at Jesus as our Lord and our hope remains focused on the Lord's return.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, August 21, 2018:
By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me â a prayer to the God of my life. â Psalm 42:8
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
I have always loved music. To this day, songs help unlock the part of me that is most yielded to God. It helps me declare my love for him and my praise to him. But as the psalmist says, at night, especially on those nights when sleep is hard to come by, his song is with me.
My Prayer...
O God of my life, thank you for music and song. Thank you for giving me so many good things to sing joyfully about. Thank you for hearing my heart when I sing and not just my words and the song's melody. I long, dear Father, for the day I get to hear you sing and I join the heavenly chorus around your throne. Until then, fill my life with your song. Through Jesus' name I ask it. Amen.
