=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================


Donkeys Kicking, Sharks Attacking, Airplanes Falling, by Russ Lawson


I received an email with the quote, "Donkeys kill more people annually
than plane crashes or shark attacks." I thought to myself, "How could
they possibly know this?" So I did some research, and found that no one
keeps statistics on how many people are killed or injured by donkeys. I
was reminded immediately of the mocking statistical quote, "90 percent
of all statistics are made up on the spot."

Now the statistic about donkeys -- whether real or not real -- may not
seem to make a difference in the great scheme of things. However, the
American Donkey and Mule Society takes exception with this "false
statistic" on their website.

My research also revealed that this maligning of donkeys probably stems
from an article in 1987 in the London Times in which a reporter wrote:

The statistics on the safety of flying are immensely comforting,
despite recent reports of a near miss between a 474 and a RAF
Hercules over Carlisle, and the Boeing 747 captain who apparently
had to be reminded to lower his craft's undercarriage before
landing at Heathrow. One expert has estimated that more people in
the world are kicked to death by donkeys than die in plane crashes.

There you have it! An unknown "expert" using an unsubstantiated
estimate -- one of those 90% of all statistics made up on the spot --
maligns donkeys and the story is still being spread over 21 years later
as being true. I don't know about you, but I tend to side with the
American Donkey and Mule Society on this one.

What is the point of all of this?

I think I would rather take the time to check it out!

OK, I was directed to a website of a "Christian writer" this past week.
As I opened the site, I at first appreciated the fact that this writer
claimed "to speak only from the Bible, nothing more and nothing less."
I spent about 20 minutes reading some of his material, then realized
pretty quickly that he had missed some pretty important scriptures and
the facts he presents as true, in actuality, were just a little bit shy
of being completely accurate.

Now I don't claim to have "all knowledge" or "all understanding," but I
do have the ability to read God's word and figure out when someone
leaves something out of a simple teaching -- just like you do. I'm
reminded of a couple of scriptures that warn us about such things. One
in particular was sent by the apostle John:

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the
Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes
from God. For there are many false prophets in the world (1 John
4:1 NLT).

Paul writing to the young preacher Timothy warns him:

... everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will
suffer persecution. But evil people and impostors will flourish.
They will go on deceiving others, and they themselves will be
deceived (2 Timothy 3:12-13).

I don't know about you, but I think I would rather take the time to
check out what I am being told as true by some supposed "bible
scholar," than be told something only to find out at the judgment it
was wrong? OH, and check it out quickly, because who knows when you
might run into a donkey looking for someone to kick!

Morning & Evening -- Jude 1 and 2 Timothy 4:18

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, July 12, 2008

MORNING:

"Sanctified by God the Father."
-- Jude 1

"Sanctified in Christ Jesus."
- 1 Corinthians 1:2
"Through sanctification of the Spirit."
- 1 Peter 1:2

Mark the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts.
How unwisely do those believers talk who make preferences in the
Persons of the Trinity; who think of Jesus as if he were the embodiment
of everything lovely and gracious, while the Father they regard as
severely just, but destitute of kindness. Equally wrong are those who
magnify the decree of the Father, and the atonement of the Son, so as
to depreciate the work of the Spirit. In deeds of grace none of the
Persons of the Trinity act apart from the rest. They are as united in
their deeds as in their essence. In their love towards the chosen they
are one, and in the actions which flow from that great central source
they are still undivided. Specially notice this in the matter of
sanctification. While we may without mistake speak of sanctification as
the work of the Spirit, yet we must take heed that we do not view it as
if the Father and the Son had no part therein. It is correct to speak
of sanctification as the work of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Spirit. Still doth Jehovah say, "Let us make man in our own image after
our likeness," and thus we are "his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them." See the value which God sets upon real holiness, since
the Three Persons in the Trinity are represented as co-working to
produce a Church without "spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." And
you, believer, as the follower of Christ, must also set a high value on
holiness-upon purity of life and godliness of conversation. Value the
blood of Christ as the foundation of your hope, but never speak
disparagingly of the work of the Spirit which is your meetness for the
inheritance of the saints in light. This day let us so live as to
manifest the work of the Triune God in us.

EVENING:

"His heavenly kingdom."
-- 2 Timothy 4:18

Yonder city of the great King is a place of active service. Ransomed
spirits serve him day and night in his temple. They never cease to
fulfil the good pleasure of their King. They always "rest," so far as
ease and freedom from care is concerned; and never "rest," in the sense
of indolence or inactivity. Jerusalem the golden is the place of
communion with all the people of God. We shall sit with Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, in eternal fellowship. We shall hold high converse with the
noble host of the elect, all reigning with him who by his love and his
potent arm has brought them safely home. We shall not sing solos, but
in chorus shall we praise our King. Heaven is a place of victory
realized. Whenever, Christian, thou hast achieved a victory over thy
lusts-whenever after hard struggling, thou hast laid a temptation dead
at thy feet-thou hast in that hour a foretaste of the joy that awaits
thee when the Lord shall shortly tread Satan under thy feet, and thou
shalt find thyself more than conqueror through him who hath loved thee.
Paradise is a place of security. When you enjoy the full assurance of
faith, you have the pledge of that glorious security which shall be
yours when you are a perfect citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem. O my
sweet home, Jerusalem, thou happy harbour of my soul! Thanks, even now,
to him whose love hath taught me to long for thee; but louder thanks in
eternity, when I shall possess thee.

"My soul has tasted of the grapes,
And now it longs to go
Where my dear Lord his vineyard keeps
And all the clusters grow.
"Upon the true and living vine,
My famish'd soul would feast,
And banquet on the fruit divine,
An everlasting guest."

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Spiritual Society"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

July 12, 2008


THE SPIRITUAL SOCIETY

Till we all come . . unto the measure of the stature of
the fulness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:13

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=eph+4:13&sr=1

Rehabilitation means the putting back of the whole human race into
the relationship God designed it to be in, and this is what Jesus
Christ did in Redemption. The Church ceases to be a spiritual society
when it is on the look-out for the development of its own
organization. The rehabilitation of the human race on Jesus Christ's
plan means the realization of Jesus Christ in corporate life as well
as in individual life. Jesus Christ sent apostles and teachers for
this purpose - that the corporate Personality might be realized. We
are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy
spiritual retirement; we are here so to realize Jesus Christ that the
Body of Christ may be built up.

Am I building up the Body of Christ, or am I looking for my own
personal development only? The essential thing is my personal
relationship to Jesus Christ - "That I may know Him." To fulfil God's
design means entire abandonment to Him. Whenever I want things for
myself, the relationship is distorted. It will be a big humiliation
to realize that I have not been concerned about realizing Jesus
Christ, but only about realizing what He has done for me.

"My goal is God Himself, not joy nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God."

Am I measuring my life by this standard or by anything less?

ANTICIPATING THE HARVEST

Galatians 6:9-10

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Galatians+6:9-10

Dear Father, just yet merciful God,

May I not become weary in doing good but rather work diligently,
energetically, and enthusiastically, keeping in mind the rich
harvest you will send at the proper time. Don't ever let me give up
on doing good or give up on you. And God, don't ever give up on me!

As I have opportunity, let me do good to everybody, especially to
those in my family of fellow believers.

In the name of Jesus I ask these things. Amen.

WJD! -- A Child Kind of Faith -- Mark 10:14b-15

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------

A Child Kind of Faith


"Don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to
people that are like these little children. I tell you the
truth. You must accept the kingdom of God like a little child
accepts things, or you will never enter it."

-- Mark 10:14b-15 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
We must have child-like faith to be a part of God's Kingdom. So many
things about the Kingdom require of us a "dangerous innocence" and
genuine humility. Yet Jesus demonstrated these child-like qualities. He
wants us to travel along our religious journey as trusting children of
God, not as worldly wise theologically astute scholars. Now don't take
me wrong on this; we are not told to throw away our brains to become
Christians. However, we are taught to live in a way that is often
upside down to the world and its conventional wisdom. To do that, we
need to go back and experience the gift of salvation, the magnificence
of God, and the wonders of grace as wide-eyed, excitable children who
trust in God's ways, God's love, and God's care.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, make my heart child-like and my faith fresh and new each day. In
Jesus' name. Amen.

VERSE:
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to
you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."
-- Matthew 7:12

THOUGHT:
Some things don't need a lot of explaining, just a lot more
implementing.

PRAYER:
Loving God, Almighty Father, forgive me of my selfishness. You
have blessed me so richly through Jesus. Please move me by your
Spirit to be as generous, loving, forgiving, and kind with others
as I want them to be with me and as the Lord has been to me. In
Jesus' name I ask this. Amen.
