Where Have You Been?
January 24, 2014

Read: Romans 10:11-15

How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? —Romans 10:14

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 9-11; Matthew 15:21-39

Missionary Egerton Ryerson Young served the Salteaux tribe in Canada in the 1700s. The chief of the tribe thanked Young for bringing the good news of Christ to them, noting that he was hearing it for the first time in his old age. Since he knew that God was Young’s heavenly Father, the chief asked, “Does that mean He is my Father too?” When the missionary answered, “Yes,” the crowd that had gathered around burst into cheers.

The chief was not finished, however. “Well,” said the chief, “I do not want to be rude, but it does seem to me . . . that it took a long time for you to . . . tell it to your brother in the woods.” It was a remark that Young never forgot.

Many times I’ve been frustrated by the zigs and zags of my life, thinking of the people I could reach if only. Then God reminds me to look around right where I am, and I discover many who have never heard of Jesus. In that moment, I’m reminded that I have a story to tell wherever I go, “for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ ” (Rom. 10:12-13).

Remember, we don’t have just any story to tell—it’s the best story that has ever been told.

I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word. —Hankey

Sharing the good news is one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

Wishing You All A Great Weekend
No snow covering on my yard..though other areas near me did get more.
Icy roads have created big problems mostly south and east of Waco. It's 25 degrees...Feels like 14.

And it’s brutal up here Meg. Highs in the single digits, wind brings temps below 0. Been like this for a week and supposed to stay all next week. I do not like it one bit.

Friday greetings!! Proud to support our brave heroes by wearing Red on Fridays!!

Stay warm and dry, all.

[MEG33]

I know it is brutal up there..We will hit 70 on Sunday..and have a low of 16 predicted for Tuesday..
Texas winters are a roller coaster..but mild over what others experience.
I get excited over snow because we have it so rarely!

An Ordinary Day
January 25, 2014

Read: Matthew 24:36-44

Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. —Matthew 24:42

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 12-13; Matthew 16

While exploring a museum exhibit titled “A Day in Pompeii,” I was struck by the repeated theme that August 24, ad 79 began as an ordinary day. People were going about their daily business in homes, markets, and at the port of this prosperous Roman town of 20,000 people. At 8 a.m., a series of small emissions were seen coming from nearby Mount Vesuvius, followed by a violent eruption in the afternoon. In less than 24 hours, Pompeii and many of its people lay buried under a thick layer of volcanic ash. Unexpected.

Jesus told His followers that He would return on a day when people were going about their business, sharing meals, and having weddings, with no idea of what was about to happen. “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be” (Matt. 24:37).

The Lord’s purpose was to urge the disciples to be watchful and prepared: “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (v.44).

What surprising joy it would be to welcome our Savior on this ordinary day!

Perhaps today!
