Let's Go Back to the Bible

Thought for the Day (Page 136)

Are you sure you want to do that?

How many times every day does your computer ask you, “Are you sure you want to do that?” You try to place an order online, “Are you sure you want to order that?” You try to close a file without saving it, “Are you sure you don’t want to save that?” You try to move files from one location to another, “Are…

An unexpected house guest

As Christians, we are charged to be “zealous for” and “maintain good works” (Tit. 2:14, 3:8). We are to ensure that the words that proceed from our mouths are “good for edification” (Eph. 4:29).

We love…

What happens when you open your treasure?

Did you ever have a teacher who had a treasure chest in her room, and a reward for some students was to open that treasure chest, search through it and find something they wanted? Or, have you ever seen a movie in which the characters found a treasure and started digging through it to see what they could find? The Bible says…

I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb!

Somewhere around 4,000 years ago, the great patriarch Job exclaimed, “I know that my Redeemer lives” (Job 19:25). Is that something that you KNOW? Is that something that pricks your heart on a regular basis? Is that something  that resonates within your very being? There was a time when every Christian was owned by Satan–when Satan called the shots, when Satan was…
