Thursday November 2 (All Souls Day) Bible Reading:     John 5: 24 - 29 Topic:                  Life Through Obedience In vs. 25 - 29, Jesus specifically indentifies Himself as the long awaited Messiah Who is both the "Life-Giver" and the "Life-Bringer". He uses the Power of His Words to bring new life to those who are spiritually dead with no consciousness of sin or sorrow for their rebellion against God. Do you find yourself in that situation? The good news is that Jesus Christ has the Power to redeem you and give you new life if you respond to His invitation to make Him Lord of your life. However, Jesus also warns that those who refuse His invitation now will face condemnation in future and will face an eternity outside of Christ. Basically what we do with Jesus here decides how and where we will spend eternity. If you are reading th...

Thursday September 28 Bible Reading:     John 6: 22 - 27 Topic:                  Labour For The Food That Endures Forever Jesus said to the woman of Samaria "everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst, indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4: 13 - 14) After the feeding of the 5000 and the twelve baskets of left-overs, the crowds were soon hungry again. They frantically searched for Jesus to satisfy their physical hunger. Jesus challenged their focus on physical food and refused to allow them to call His agenda by moving to another place. Paul warned the Philippian Christians, "for as I have often told you before, many live as enemies of the Cross of Christ; their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, thei...

Friday August 18 Bible Reading:      Ezra: 58 - 63 Topic:                   Is Your Name In The Book Of Life? In today's reading, we see two groups of people who were excluded from certain priviledges because they could not prove their family identities. The 652 persons in vs. 59 - 60 could not show they were Israelites, while the "priests" in vs. 61 - 62 could not show they were of priestly descent. As a result, these priests were excluded from significant priviledges (v. 63) In our communities today, many people suffer identity crisis because they have been abandoned by or forcibly removed from their biological parents due to ravages of war, kidnapping, prostitution and other social vices. Some people cannot trace their family lineage beyond one or two generations. An even more serious loss is that of spiritual identity. Some claim...
