16, 2019 – “An old time
preacher said, “We traffic in unfelt truth.” Our salt has lost its savor. We
rail against loose living and even liberalism but fail to notice the
lukewarmness in our own experience. We go to church and sing the hymns without
any passion and then wonder where the “fire” has gone. Many are only there
because that is what they have always done. There’s motion but no motive. The
church desperately needs a few to “fall in love” with Christ afresh and anew.” Vance Havner
My prayer for you today is for you to
have a fresh glimpse of Calvary!

Memory Verse Challenge - 12:1
Ecclesiastes Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days
come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in
them; KJV
“One bright, beautiful Sunday morning,
everyone in tiny Jonestown wakes up early and goes to their local church.
Before the service starts, the townspeople sit in their pews and talk about
their lives and their families. Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears!!
Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each
other in their determined efforts to get away from Evil Incarnate. Soon,
everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sit calmly in his
pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy is in his
presence. This confuses Satan a bit. Satan walks up to the man and says,
"Hey, don't you know who I am?" The man says, "Yep, sure
do." Satan says, "Well, aren't you afraid of me?" The man says,
"Nope, sure ain't." Satan, perturbed, says, "And why aren't you
afraid of me?" The man says, "Well, I've been married to your sister
for 48 years." SermonCentral.com
