The Breastplate of Righteousness Series: Suited Up - The Armor of God (Week 3 of 7) Scripture: Ephesians 6:14b Summary In ancient warfare, a soldier could survive wounds to his arms, legs, or even head—but a wound to the heart was fatal. That's why the breastplate was critical. Similarly, in spiritual warfare, the enemy's primary target is your heart—your emotions, your conscience, your sense of identity. The breastplate of righteousness protects what matters most. This message explores how two kinds of righteousness work together to guard your heart from the enemy's attacks. Key Points: 1. Christ's Righteousness Is Your Foundation Before we can talk about living righteously, we must establish the foundation: you cannot earn righteousness through your own effort. Isaiah 64:6 says all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags. The breastplate begins with what Christ has done FOR you, not what you do for Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 reveals the great exchange: Jesus took your sin, and you receive His perfect righteousness. This is justification—your legal standing before God. When Satan accuses you (and Revelation 12:10 calls him "the accuser of our brethren"), you don't defend yourself by your performance. You point to Christ's finished work. This is the first layer of the breastplate. It protects your heart from crushing guilt and constant insecurity. Your acceptance before God doesn't depend on your daily performance—it depends on Christ's perfect righteousness credited to you by faith. 2. Righteous Living Protects Your Heart From Attack While your standing before God is secured by Christ's righteousness alone, your effectiveness in spiritual warfare requires righteous living. Paul tells us to "put on" the breastplate—that's active. We must put on righteous living daily. Why? Because unconfessed sin creates vulnerability in your armor. If you're harboring secret sin, living a double life, or deliberately disobeying God, what happens? Your prayers feel powerless. Your Bible reading feels dry. Your conscience condemns you. Your confidence evaporates. The pattern is: Deliberate disobedience → guilt and shame → loss of confidence → weakened prayers → spiritual ineffectiveness. We explored specific examples: unconfessed bitterness, secret sexual sin, financial dishonesty, unresolved conflict. Each creates a hole in the breastplate that the enemy exploits. Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion." Why are the righteous bold? Because they have nothing to hide. Their conscience is clear. That gives them confidence in prayer, boldness in witness, and power in spiritual warfare. 3. The Enemy Attacks Your Heart With Guilt, Shame, and Condemnation The enemy's strategy is to attack your heart through three primary weapons: Guilt - "Look at what you did." Satan takes legitimate guilt and twists it, bringing up sins you've already confessed and making you feel like you can never be forgiven. Shame - "Look at who you are." While guilt says "I did something bad," shame says "I AM bad." It attacks your identity and worth, paralyzing you with the belief that you're fundamentally broken. Condemnation - "You're disqualified." This weapon says you've gone too far, sinned too much, and can't be used by God. It stops believers from stepping into ministry and being effective for the kingdom. We learned how to distinguish the Holy Spirit's conviction from Satan's condemnation: Holy Spirit's conviction: Specific about sin, leads to repentance, results in restoration, points to Christ Satan's condemnation: Vague and general, leads to despair, results in isolation, points to yourself The breastplate of righteousness protects you from these attacks. When you're trusting in Christ's righteousness AND walking in obedience, the enemy's accusations bounce off because your confidence is in Christ, not yourself. The Bottom Line: The breastplate of righteousness protects your heart in two ways—Christ's righteousness gives you standing before God, and your righteous living gives you confidence in warfare. You need both. Christ's righteousness without obedience leads to presumption. Obedience without Christ's righteousness leads to works-based religion. But together, they form a breastplate that fully protects your heart. Next in Series: Week 4 - "The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace" (Ephesians 6:15) How the gospel gives us firm footing in spiritual warfare.

Germany has always been deceitful in its foreign policy. Because Germany today says and does all the right things, the entire world has forgotten the war-making history of this mighty nation! A terrifying war machine is now rising from the underground to take revenge for losing World Wars I and II. Your Bible declares a fierce German leader will trigger World War III.

Sermon Summary: "The Discipline of Bible Study" - Psalm 119:9-16 Series: Sacred Rhythms (Message 2) Main Message: Regular, thoughtful engagement with Scripture transforms our hearts, renews our minds, and directs our steps. Overview Imagine receiving a personal letter from someone who loves you deeply and has wisdom that could change your future. Would you skim it quickly, or would you study every word? That's exactly what you have in the Bible—a personal letter from God. Yet many Christians treat it casually, glancing at it occasionally rather than studying it intentionally. This message explores how to move beyond casual reading to transformative Bible study that changes lives. The Psalmist's Passion Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible—176 verses almost entirely about God's Word. The psalmist didn't see Scripture as religious duty but as spiritual delight. He found more joy in God's Word than in material riches because he understood its power to guide, cleanse, and transform. Key Points 1. God's Word Is Our Guide for Righteous Living "How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Scripture serves as our moral GPS, showing us where we are, where we should be, and how to get there. The difference between casual reading and intentional study is this: reading says "That's a nice verse," while study asks "How does this apply to my life?" 2. Delighting in God's Word Brings Joy and Stability The psalmist "rejoiced" in God's testimonies and found "delight" in His statutes. This wasn't drudgery—this was genuine happiness. God's Word provides what our hearts desperately need: stability in chaos, wisdom for decisions, comfort in pain, hope in despair, and identity in confusion. 3. Consistent Study Requires Intentional Methods and Habits Passion for God's Word doesn't happen accidentally—it requires intentional practices. The message introduces five practical study methods: SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer), the 5 W's and H, Book Study, Topical Study, and Verse-by-Verse Study. Consistency matters more than length—start with 15-20 minutes daily. 4. Bible Study Must Move from Knowledge to Obedience The ultimate goal isn't just knowing more about God but knowing God more and living differently. Knowledge without obedience leads to spiritual pride. True Bible study always asks: "What is God calling me to do differently because of what I've learned?" Practical Study Methods Introduced SOAP Method: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer 5 W's and H: Who, What, When, Where, Why, How Book Study: Study entire books chapter by chapter Topical Study: Explore what the Bible says about specific topics Verse-by-Verse: Intensive study of individual passages This Week's Challenge Beginners: 15 minutes daily using the SOAP method with the Gospel of John Developing: Choose one book to study over the next month with multiple methods Experienced: Complete a thorough topical study on a relevant subject Everyone: Apply one recent biblical truth more fully in your life The Invitation God has given you a treasure more valuable than gold—His Word. But like any treasure, its value is only realized through careful study, not casual glances. Your Bible isn't just a book—it's a bridge to the heart of God. The psalmist found incredible joy in Scripture because he invested time studying it, meditating on it, and applying it. The same opportunity is yours today. God is waiting to speak to you through His Word, offering wisdom for decisions, comfort for pain, and direction for your future. Start today. Start small. But start. Don't miss what God wants to say to you through His Word. Listen to the full sermon audio above. This continues our six-part "Sacred Rhythms" series on spiritual disciplines.

Daily Dose of Hope May 15, 2025 Day 4 of Week 7   Scripture – Mark 16:1-8   Prayer: Holy God, On this Thursday morning, we lift up our face to you.  We call upon your name.  You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  You are almighty and wise.  How thankful we are that you sit high and look low.  Lord, forgive us for our many sins and faults.  Give us strength and courage to do better.  And, as we begin to talk about the resurrection, Lord, help us live like new people.  We give you this day, Lord.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin Mark 16, the resurrection story.  We are covering the first portion of Mark 16, the Scripture that is original to the Gospel.  This is the part that has authority.  Tomorrow, we will cover the portion of the chapter that was added by scholars several hundred years later.    But before we dig in, let's talk context.   Jesus was crucified on a Friday because the Jews had to have it done and over with before Sabbath (which for them runs from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).  Thus, the women who wanted to anoint Jesus' body for burial had to wait until the Sabbath was over before heading over to the tomb.     Three women are specifically mentioned: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome.  I want to point out that these women were also mentioned at being present at the crucifixion.  They watched Jesus die.  I want you to think about how the reality of suffering and intense grief is hanging over this whole scene. These were women who walked alongside Jesus, took care of his needs, and loved him.  It is because they loved him that they wanted to ensure that his dead body was properly prepared for burial.  Jews did not embalm but they ceremonially washed the body, wrapped it in cloths, and used herbs and spices to help with deterioration and smell.  In that culture, a proper burial was quite important, it demonstrated honor for that individual; for these women, this was an act of love and respect.   As they head over to prepare the body, they discuss what they think will be their biggest obstacle and decide it's going to be the heavy stone.  They were at the crucifixion.  They knew that a large stone was rolled in front of the tomb.  How will they move it?  What's interesting to me here is that they have no inkling that the tomb would be empty.  Jesus has taught about his death and resurrection but no one got it.    Now, when they get to the tomb and the stone was the least of their worries. It had already been rolled away.  When they entered the tomb, it's completely empty except for a young man dressed in a white robe just sitting there.  Mark doesn't say so, but it's implied this man is an angel.  The scripture says the women are alarmed.  They have been so consumed by their grief and suffering, so focused on taking care of this final act for Jesus, and then the stone is gone and there is this angel-like character sitting inside the tomb.  Of course they are alarmed.  And this man/angel person tells them that Jesus wasn't there because he had risen, just as he said he would. This is all a bit much for these ladies. They were scared.  They flee and say nothing to anyone. And the book of Mark ends.   Over the years, people have added more appealing endings to this Gospel, which we will address tomorrow.  Your Bible probably notes that anything after verse 8 was added later on.  It's usually in italics.  But this is the thing:  Mark's Gospel may feel a bit unsatisfying in how it so abruptly ends, it also creates a sense of anticipation and yes, even HOPE.  We don't have to make up fake endings for Mark like some of the church fathers may have done.     What Mark tells us is enough.  Why? Because the tomb was empty!  Jesus was resurrected.  Because death could not keep Jesus down!  Death was defeated.  Because the women were given the message to “Go and tell, Jesus is risen!”  Because all the promises that Jesus made have come true.  Every single one.   Just as Jesus said, he suffered, died, and was raised.  Just as he said, Judas betrayed him, the disciples scattered, and Peter denied him.  We know that eventually these women speak and they must speak a lot.  Because the message was shared.  After they get over their initial shock, it all begins to sink in. Yes, Jesus had told them this would happen. Yes, they would choose to believe and share the good news.  He wasn't dead but alive!  They chose to believe and share.   Will you?  Will you share the Good News of the resurrection?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/354059/episodes/16801279-16-03-25-citizens-of-heaven-dave-watmoreCitizenship of heavenPhilippians 3 v 20 + Philippians 4 v 4-9Look at the first page of your passport.Why am I telling you this story? It is not about the power of my prayers but you can think that. No it is about the peace that comes from being a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.Philippians 3 v 20.It made me think.I'm a UK citizen but now I'm born again, I'm now a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus is the King and the Lord of heaven.So let's look at that;I was listening to an interview with Rishi Sunak and Nick Robinson and Sunak tells of his meetings with the king and how he found them helpful. I'm sure he did. It is always good to have a friendly conversation with someone you know is helpful towards you.I don't remember the king or queen calling me up when I was made redundant or comforting me when my children were so upset and ringing me a 3 o'clock in the morning. I'll be honest. I didn't expect them to. They don't know me. They have no relationship with me. They are just humans, weak and sinful like me.I do remember Jesus giving me a dream to prepare me before I was made redundant and a promise that he would always provide for me.I do remember Jesus comforting and giving me words to help my son and comfort me at a very dark time.I love being a citizen of the UK. I cheer when England play sport, I love our countryside and our culture and language but I am also a citizen of Heaven.When I lost my passport, I lost my way back to my home and my family. Part of me lost my peace but I also knew that the King of kings and Lord of lords was with me. He would run towards me to help me in my distress.Isaiah 26 v 3I have a new allegiance and much more powerful King who happens to have created the heavens and the Earth and all that is in it.When I have that in my heart I have to change too.Philippian 4 v 4-9.V 8. Fix your thoughts on what is good.We live in a Kingdom where Jesus is King and Lord. He does not want you to fill your mind or body with things that are bad for you.When we read or watch or think on the wrong things, it is like putting petrol in a diesel engine. We might do it by accident but it still needs to be cleared out, otherwise we don't fire correctly or we create a lot of black smoke of anger, unforgiveness, etc..You have been bought with a high price because He loves you. There is no other explanation for why you are saved or why you are here today. He wants a relationship with you. Not like the one you have with king Charles or Keir Starmer or your boss at work, He was and can give you an intimate relationship. Sometimes when we feel far away from Him, anxious, frightened and lost He will say “look at my word, you are now a citizen of Heaven not of the UK”Questions;Your Bible has far more promises about your identify, your destination and your well being than your UK passport. Tell each other scriptures that have helped you in the past. Encourage those who don't have that experience, the scripture that can help them.How do you remember to magnify who Jesus is when you are feeling small and alone?If appropriate, tell each other or a on a one to one basis, the struggles you might have with things you know are wrong to watch or read etc..Encourage repentance but exercise forgiveness especially

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will continue to encourage us about how we can overcome temptation. He’ll explain how no one is exempt from temptation. The Bible says, “…let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” Your Bible knowledge is not going to exempt you. Your service, or your singing in the choir, or your giving is not going to exempt you. So, this is a warning to those who consider themselves “super saints”—the people who say, “It won’t happen to me.” None of us should ever say that, since we can’t know in advance what we will or will not do. To learn more from Pastor Ford about how you can become victorious over temptation, be sure to join us for the next Treasured Truth. Treasured Truth is a listener supported program on Moody Radio.

Can you become what you read? If the world controls our thinking, we are conformers; if God controls our thinking we are transformers. If we read and study the Word of God, memorize it, and make it a part of our inner selves, God will gradually make our minds more spiritual. Your Bible is your basic instructions before leaving Earth! Blessings, Presiding Elder Barbara Hayes The Wiersbe Bible

The word “Armageddon” is often used to describe earth-destroying dangers. This March 2024 edition of Astronomy magazine features this cover Headline: “COSMIC CATASTROPHES, How the Universe threatens life on earth,” p. 18, “The Universe is a terrifying place, filled with existential threats. Earth may seem quite solid beneath our feet, but the continued existence of the thin layers of rock, water, and air that sustain us is in no way guaranteed. Errant asteroids, soaring superflares, and exploding supernovae are just a few of the calamities that might befall our fragile world. In the short term, we may be able to manage or mitigate some of these threats. Asteroids can be diverted and power grids hardened. But other apocalypses are inevitable as the solar system ages: a runaway Moon, Earth's collapsing magnetosphere, the Sun's flagging heart. Each one represents a countdown to a different apocalypse, with some more imminent than others” (“These are the ways our world will end,” Astronomy.com, March 1, 2024). Your Bible confirms such cosmic dangers when the prophesied heavenly signs will terrify humans all over the earth. How will the great men and women react? Revelation 6:15, “And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?'” (Revelation 6:15–17). Yes, my friends, Bible prophecy reveals dramatic dangers just ahead of us, but also the good news of God's coming Kingdom ruled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as King of kings and Lord of lords. Surprisingly, when Jesus Christ returns, all the world's armies and powerful worldly military might will fight against the coming conquering King in the battle of Armageddon. On today's program, we'll be offering an amazing free study guide, ARMAGEDDON AND BEYOND, to help you understand what is ahead for planet Earth. Join us on today's program and learn who will win the Battle of Armageddon!

Your Bible reveals the future of the world and the future of the universe. There is coming a time when this planet Earth will be purified with fire. It will become a new earth. The earth will then host a heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven to planet Earth!

Also there was no more sea.” But will YOU be alive to enjoy that new earth and the New Jerusalem?

Perhaps no figure looms larger in our prophesied future than the ANTICHRIST. Your Bible is clear that he IS coming, and that a level of destruction, persecution, and death arrive with him--such as the world has never seen before or will ever see again. And there is cause to believe that he is alive TODAY--certainly, his tools of deception are ALREADY in place and ALREADY impact the lives of most who consider themselves “Christian” today. Will you be among the few to recognize him when he steps onto the world stage? Most won't--but you can. Join us for this episode of Tomorrow's World, as we reveal Seven Signs of the End-Time Antichrist!

It's titled ARMAGEDDON AND BEYOND. Be sure to write down the contact information to order your free copy! The 1998 popular movie “Armageddon” portrayed an incoming asteroid the size of Texas that would destroy all life on earth. NASA recruits a team of oil drillers to save the world. Perhaps you have seen that sobering movie. Are we today in danger of incoming earth-destroying asteroids? Astronomy.com describes the meteor that exploded over Siberia in 2013: “On February 15, 2013, a small asteroid, perhaps measuring 20 meters across, came down over the southern Urals of Russia, barreling in at about 19 km/s, and exploded over Chelyabinsk Oblast, near the town of Chelyabinsk. With a mass greater than that of the Eiffel Tower, the asteroid exploded in an airburst, unleashing energy equal to about 500 kilotons of TNT, some 20 or 30 times the energy released in the Hiroshima atomic explosion.” (“Why the asteroid threat should be taken seriously,” Astronomy.com) Continuing the report, author David J. Eicher describes the dangers we face today: “The risk from asteroids impacting Earth and causing widespread damage, death, and catastrophe is real, and is present every day of our lives. But it is to a degree a counterintuitive threat, which makes it hard for some people to take seriously. The risk at any given moment is almost nonexistent, but given enough time, a catastrophic event will happen again. Do we need to worry about an asteroid strike during our next foray out to lunch? Probably not. But someday a large enough asteroid with Earth's name on it will enter the picture, causing horror and mayhem for humanity. Unless we do something about it, that is.” (ibid.) Your Bible reveals future astronomical events as well as major military conflicts. Revelation the sixth chapter describes cosmic disturbances: “And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.” (Revelation 6:13-14). The movie “Armageddon” used the title to depict the cataclysmic end-of-the world danger described in your Bible. Bible scholars describe Armageddon as the final battle between good and evil. Who will win that battle? Will the world survive Armageddon? And will you be able to escape “Armageddon”? Stay tuned!

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Jim Barrows and Armin Navabi battle the problem with evil, as they commit blasphemy right after discovering that only men have the breath of life because ideas must be real. Mike in SC asks about free will and the problem of evil. Is violating someone's freewill the only way to prevent someone from doing something bad? Is it rational to believe in things for which you have no evidence? How do you know that the eyewitness testimonies presented in the Bible are not just part of the story? If god is omnipotent, why do people have to burn for not believing? How is the Bible a guide for life if it can't even get the answer for what we can and can't eat right? Can you provide evidence without just repeating what you are saying? Are all the ancient gods that changed cultures and performed miracles real?Michael in GA asks why atheists say that a baby is not a person before it takes its first breath. He also believes that only men have the breath of life since god breathed into a man, not a woman. Your Bible does not even use masculine terminology until after Eve so Adam is gender neutral. Nobody has the right to tell you how to use your body, otherwise we are creating slaves. Bringing up the race of the fetus will do nothing to further your case. In fact, take a wild guess of what that kind of trolling will do for you. Bye!Rami in Hawaii reads out of the Bible as evidence of the holy spirit's presence. Why do you need the holy spirit to attain positive qualities? Why is it okay to blasphemy against Islam by not believing that Mohammed is the profit, but not okay to blasphemy against the holy spirit? We are all going to hell in somebody's religion. You know that right? If god is real, he is a narcissistic monster and should be jailed for crimes against humanity. Is it good or evil to create an organism that is spread by mosquitoes and kills billions of people? Did god create everything including malaria? If we are good people, and do not believe in Jesus, what happens to us when we die?Oliver in the UK asks what right atheists have to question someone else's reality, if ideas are real. Just because an idea is real, does not mean that it is true. What makes you think atheists don't have the right to ask questions? Why would Muslims have the right to say that Allah is real, but don't think that atheists have the right to say that Allah is not real? Thank you as always for tuning in this week. Question of the week is: Why is god really mad at Satan?

No one is exempt from temptation. The Bible says, “…let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” Your Bible knowledge is not going to exempt you. Your service, or singing in the choir, or your giving record is not going to exempt you. So, Pastor Ford gives a warning to the super saints—the people who say, “It won’t happen to me.” None of us should ever say that, since we can’t know in advance what we will or will not do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg talks to callers about what to say to a skeptic who claims portions of the Gospels were made up to match Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, whether Hell is something we choose or an enforced punishment, and how to convince another Christian of how important it is to read the Bible and make it part of their life.   Topics: What should I say to a skeptic who claims portions of the Gospels were made up to match Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53? (06:00) Is Hell something we choose (i.e., the doors are “locked on the inside”), or is it a more a matter of just judgment (i.e., like prison)?

Your Bible reveals where God is working in this end time. But you must understand a major key that unlocks Bible prophecy: the principle of prophetic duality.

Bible Reading: Psalms 25:8; 32:8-11After supper one evening, Caden helped clear the table and then covered it with old newspapers. "I'm going to work on my new model car," he said. He grinned as he took it out of the box. "Just look at all those pieces! And these details are awesome!"Caden began working, but it wasn't long before he went looking for his father. "Can you help me with my model car, Dad?" he asked.Dad looked up from his computer. "Sure, but can you manage it by yourself until I finish what I'm working on?""I'll try," Caden replied. But when Dad came to help him a little later, almost nothing had been done."What's the problem, buddy?" asked Dad.Caden sighed. "I don't understand how everything is supposed to fit together."Dad took the instruction sheet. "Okay," he said after glancing at it, "let's figure it out together." They got to work and soon were busy reading instructions, finding pieces, and fitting them to one another.After a while, Caden's mom reminded him that he needed to do his homework. "Okay, and I need to learn a verse for Bible club tomorrow too," said Caden. He sighed. "I like Bible club, but it takes up a lot of time." He turned to his dad. "Thanks for helping. I never would have gotten this far without you. I didn't understand what the sheet was saying until you walked me through it."Dad nodded. "Then trying to put this model together without my help would be a little like trying to live the Christian life without help from other Christians," he said. "That's something to remember as you learn your verse. Your Bible club teacher and our pastor and Sunday school teachers all help us understand the truth of the Bible. They help us understand the gospel--the good news that Jesus died and rose again to save us and give us eternal life--and how we should live as God's children. We need to remember to thank the Lord for them."Caden thought about it. "I guess you're right," he said. "There are lots of things in the Bible that I don't understand by myself." He grinned. "And you and Mom help too." -Dean KelleyHow About You?Do you thank God for those who help you understand His Word, the Bible? He wants you to learn His ways. One method of doing that is to read the Bible for yourself. But God also provides godly men and women who can help you understand passages that are difficult for you. Listen to them, learn from them, and thank God for them. Let them help you discover what God is telling you.Today's Key Verse:Teach me Your way, O Lord. (NKJV) (Psalm 27:11)Today's Key Thought:Thank God for Christian teachers

Bible Reading: Psalm 37:3-5; 2 Peter 3:18Michael stood on the lawn, wishing he had someone to play with. "Timmy!" he called loudly, hoping his friend next door would hear him. "Tiiimmmeeee!" Michael's mom appeared on the back porch. "Go over and knock on Timmy's door, Michael. It's not polite to just yell for him." "But what if his mom answers?" asked Michael. "What if she doesn't want to be bothered?" "Oh, Michael, Timmy's mom is a very nice lady. She wouldn't mind answering the door," Mom assured him. "Don't be so shy." Michael looked at the neighbors' door. Mom was right--he was shy around adults he didn't know well. But knowing that didn't make him feel any braver. I think I'll just play here, he thought when his mom went back in. Maybe Timmy will see me and come out. Michael wandered behind the house to the tall maple tree where a black squirrel lived. He had named the squirrel Shadow and often tried to get close to watch the little animal get kernels from the ear of corn Dad had nailed to the fence post. At first, Shadow always ran away. Now the squirrel watched with his beady black eyes, but he didn't run until Michael was only a few feet away. "I think Shadow's starting to trust me," Michael told his mom at lunchtime. "He's learning you're not there to hurt him," Mom said. "That reminds me of you. You're still learning to trust our new neighbor--Timmy's mom. When you know her better, you'll see that she's happy to have you come over. The better you know someone, the easier it is to trust them." Pushing her chair back, Mom stood and took her dishes to the sink. "You know, Michael, it's like that in our relationship with God too. The better we get to know Him, the easier it is to trust Him. We get to know God as we read His Word and learn about Jesus, who loves us so much that He gave His life for us." She smiled. "I know I can trust Him to help me through anything." Michael thought about how Shadow was getting to know him and trust him. I want to be like that with God, he thought. And I want to trust Him to help me not be so shy around Timmy's mom and other adults too. -Judith K. BoogaartHow About You?Are you learning to trust God? Do you turn to Him in difficult situations and depend on Him to help you? The more you get to know Jesus, the more you'll be able to trust Him in the situations you face each day. Your Bible tells you all about Him. Read it on your own, learn more about what it says at church, and talk to Jesus every day to get to know Him better.Today's Key Verse:Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. (NIV) (Psalm 40:4)Today's Key Thought:Know and trust God

They call it the "terrible twos" (remember?) because of the new challenges a toddler presents when they hit that two-year mark and they issue their first declarations of independence. Now, I remember when our granddaughter was two years old and doing human "terribles." Maybe because there were a lot more "terrific twos." Now, one exciting thing was an incredible word explosion she had. Sometimes, she seemed to not only know the words, but even some pretty important meaning behind the words. She's been known to sit down right next to her daddy as he was reading his Bible with her Bible open. Now, she knew what the book was called. She would say "Bible." But more and more, when she picked up her Bible, she said two words that she knew went together, "Bible...Jesus." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "When The Bible Comes Alive." Those two words are always supposed to go together. Because ultimately our Bible reading isn't supposed to be about a book. It's about a person. It's about Jesus. Much like when I used to read love letters from my wife-to-be. I read those same words over and over again. There was no new information the second time, but see, I wasn't just with a letter. When I read what she wrote to me, I was with her; the person who wrote it until I could be "with" with her in person. That's how it's supposed to be when we pick up God's love letter to us - the Bible. We're not with a book. We're with the person who wrote it to us, and that changes everything. Sometimes we get into the rut of thinking, "It's my Bible reading time again." And frankly, maybe we're not all excited about it. It's like our Christian duty. And all too many times, the Bible just sits there as we run through all the "really important" other things we have to do. When you read God's Word, it should be something like the picture God gives us in Luke 10, beginning with verse 39. It's our word for today from the Word of God. Martha has invited Jesus to have dinner with her and her sister, Mary. The Bible says, "Mary...sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what He said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made." Martha pipes up and criticizes Mary for not running around like she is. But Jesus says, "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her." Jesus, of course, wasn't condoning laziness. He was applauding the priority of loving Him over serving Him...of spending time with Him over doing things for Him. Yes, our love will result in serving and doing things for Him, but it has to be anchored in spending time with Him. Your Bible reading time needs to be the time each day that you, like it says here, "sit at the Lord's feet, listening to what He says." David called God's Word "the law from your mouth" and he said it was precious to him (Psalm 119:72). You read the words of the Bible as if Jesus is sitting across from you saying those words to you, because those are His words to you. So when you go through a day without time in God's Word, it's not the Bible that you're reading there - it's Jesus. The Bible doesn't care if you show up. Jesus does. That's why you need to make your time with Him and with His Word, the highest priority of your personal schedule - the sun around which all the other planets of your day must revolve. Jesus wept over His people one day and He expressed His sadness about the number of times He wanted to have time with them but, in His words, "you were not willing" (Matthew 23:37). I wonder if He's been saying that about you and me? It's time to recover your time with Jesus from the margins of your life and put it back in the center. Put Him back in the center. And when you pick up His Book, remember (like the little girl said) "Bible...Jesus."

Your Bible translation may end The Lord's Prayer where Stephen Davey left off in the last study in this series, but older translations include a doxology to this prayer in the Gospel of Matthew. These closing thoughts present several crucial elements of God that put our prayers and requests to Him in their proper perspective.
