Scripture for the day


"Above all else, guard your heart, for it
is the wellspring of life!" Proverbs 4:23

See that your chief study is about your heart:
that there, God's image is planted;
that there, His interests are advanced;
that there, the world and flesh are subdued;
that there, the love of every sin is cast out;
that there, the love of holiness grows.

"I, the Lord, search the heart and examine
the mind!" Jeremiah 17:10


~ Jonathan Edwards From the Way of Master

Daily Scripture for today

Today's Message:
***********************
"Then He spoke many things to them in parables,
saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow" Matt 13:3

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who
waters, but God who gives the increase" 1 Cor 3:6-7

I was a farmer today. I may have been turning fallow ground,
preparing it for planting. I may have planted seed, ready to
sprout when someone else comes by to water. I may have
watered seeds already sown. I may have pulled weeds that
were wanting to choke out the new plants. I may have poured
water on a parched, drought stricken field, bringing new life to
nearly dead plants. I just might have harvested the results of
others' efforts.

I was a farmer today. I may not know the results of today's
labor on this side of heaven, but, I can sleep tonight knowing
that a couple who claim to have once been Christians have
heard again the Good News that Jesus wants to redeem them.
I will be able to stand before the Father with a clean conscience,
knowing that if they fail to enter the kingdom, the fault will
not be mine.

I was a farmer today. I will not worry about the crop -- it's
in God's hands.

With dirt under my fingernails, Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.

Scripture for the day

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but
let God transform you into a new person by changing the
way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will
for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation)


A third of Americans report divine healing: Pew
Mon Jun 23, 2008 12:34pm EDT
By Ed Stoddard Reuters

DALLAS (Reuters) - Feeling under the weather? If you're American there is a one in three chance that you have encountered a divine healing and so you may put your faith in a spiritual rather than medical cure.

That is one of the findings of the second part of the "U.S. Religious Landscape Survey" released on Monday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The first part of the survey, based on a 2007 nationwide survey of over 35,000 U.S. adults, was released earlier this year.

"A third of all Americans (34 percent) say they have experienced or witnessed a divine healing of an illness or injury," the survey said.

America's high rates of religious belief and regular worship attendance set it apart from most other affluent nations and ripple throughout the country's culture.

The survey found, for example, that 71 percent of Americans are "absolutely certain" of God's existence and 39 percent attend a religious service at least once a week.

It also showed that nearly a third of American adults reported that they received "definite answers" to specific requests made by prayer at least once a month.

Posted in Sherlock Holmes, tent, watson

On the case, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were forced to camp under the stars. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see," said Holmes.

"Mllions and millions of stars." the good doctor replied.

"What does that tell you?"

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter-past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Elementary, my dear Watson. Someone has stolen our tent."
