I can’t watch the debates. They are so one-sided and unfair. I just get angry and ill, too.

Laundry Day

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 65–66
• 1 Timothy 2

Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples.

Matthew 28:19 gnt

Driving through a low-income area near his church, Colorado pastor Chad Graham started praying for his “neighbors.” When he noticed a small laundromat, he stopped to take a look inside and found it filled with customers. One asked Graham for a spare coin to operate the clothes dryer. That small request inspired a weekly “Laundry Day” sponsored by Graham’s church. Members donate coins and soap to the laundromat, pray with customers, and support the owner of the laundry facility.

Their neighborhood outreach, which dares to include a laundromat, reflects Jesus’ Great Commission to His disciples. As He said, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:18–19 gnt).

His Holy Spirit’s powerful presence enables “everywhere” outreach, including even a laundromat. Indeed, we don’t go alone. As Jesus promised, “I will be with you always, to the end of the age” (v. 20 gnt).

Pastor Chad experienced that truth after praying at the laundromat for a customer named Jeff who is battling cancer. As Chad reported, “When we opened our eyes, every customer in the room was praying with us, hands stretched out toward Jeff. It was one of the most sacred moments I have experienced as a pastor.”

The lesson? Let’s go everywhere to proclaim Christ.

Where can you go in your neighborhood today to proclaim Christ? How could His powerful presence enable you?

Jesus, enable me to proclaim Your good news today—everywhere.

Have a good day at work! 🙂

Thank you.

Well I watched the first hour of the debate, then left the husband to continue the torture of hearing snotty accusatory questions given to my president. I should not have tried to listen to that, unhealthy. President Trump did great. Creepy Joe was extra creepy. Going in to work Friday morning, so y'all have a great Friday! Good night😴🌙💫⭐️🌟

I was just ready for it to be over after she went on and on and on about the stupid virus!

I just followed the FR thread.

from what I nread, Trump CRUSHED Joe, and never lost his cool.

I love our President!

[TheConservativeParty]

Yes, tiresome right from the start,,,,20 minutes badgering Trump on China Virus! It infuriates me how Creepy Joe says Trump has done nothing about it! He's done everything. 🤨 I should never have watched it. Trump has taken such abuse for so long. Hurts to see him so disrespected. He knows we love him though. He's one of the family, like Rush.

[TheConservativeParty]

Was best to read the thread and not actually hear or see Creepy Joe. I hope he goes down in flames! 🔥🔥🔥

[luvie]

It infuriates me when Biden calls him “this guy” instead of his name or the president. A page from the Pelosi handbook. Grrrr!

Nice Shot?

Bible in a Year:

• Jeremiah 1–2
• 1 Timothy 3

To him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt His love endures forever.

Psalm 136:10 When Walt Disney’s Bambi was re-released, moms and dads relived childhood memories with their sons and daughters. A young mother, whose husband was an avid outdoorsman with an impressive trophy room, was one of those parents. With her little ones at her side, she experienced with them the gasp and groan of the moment when Bambi lost his mother to a hunter. To this day she’s reminded at family gatherings of her embarrassment when, in all innocence, her little boy shouted out in the theater, “Nice shot!”

In time, we laugh at the embarrassing things our children say. But what are we to say when the people of Psalm 136 do something similar? Israel, God’s chosen and rescued people, celebrate a love that endures for all creation and for themselves—but not for their enemies. The psalm sings the praises of “him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt” (v. 10; see also Exodus 12:29–30).

Doesn’t that sound a bit like a shout of “nice shot” at the expense of someone else’s mother, sister, father, brother?

That’s why we need the rest of the story. Only when the lights come up in the resurrection of Jesus can the whole world be invited into the joy of one family’s stories, tears, and laughter. Only when we receive Jesus as our Savior and are made alive in Him can we share the wonder of a God who loves everyone—at His own expense.

What reason is given twenty-six times for this song? What lyrics show that the heart of God reaches beyond those who sing the words?

Unseen Father, thank You for giving me reasons to believe that Your vision and love for all are better and wider than my love for myself and my own.
