Dear ,
This week's devotion is from the Chinese Christian Church in Oklahoma City.
The voice said, "Cry out!" And he said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:6-8
TAKE THE MAY Day Challenge! See how many answers in the following quiz you can get right. Decide whether the following statements are true or false:
T F The sun revolves around the earth.
T F Tomatoes are poisonous.
T F Sneezes are the body's way of getting rid of evil spirits.
T F The world is flat.
T F Trees have souls.
T F The Black Death was caused by evil vapors.
T F Iron, lead, and other metals can be transformed into gold by
a chemical process.
So, how many did you think were false? How many did you identify as being true?
The truth is, all of the statements above are false. While all of those statements were once thought to be true, the truth is, they have always been false.
For thousands of years, many people thought the sun revolved around the earth. But what they thought did not change what was true. The sun was the center of the solar system the whole time! Similarly, the fact that people once considered tomatoes--or "love apples" as they called them--to be poisonous didn't change the truth. And no matter how many people agreed that the "Black Death," or bubonic plague, was caused by "evil vapors," the truth (that the deadly plague is spread by fleas from infected rats) never changed.
Truth doesn't change. People may be mistaken. Stories may be incorrect. Ideas may be wrong. But truth doesn't change.
A prophet named Isaiah once wrote that "the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8). And Jesus once prayed to his Father, "Your word is truth" (John 17:17, NIV). No matter what textbooks or teachers may say, no matter what you read in the newspaper or hear on the evening news, no matter what new light may be shed on old mysteries, the truth will never change. We may deny it or acknowledge it. We may ignore it or recognize it, but whether we know it or admit that we know it, the truth is the truth. And it doesn't change.
REFLECT:
Can you think of other things that were once thought to be true but never were? Can you change what's true by admitting it or denying it? Can anyone do that? Since Jesus said God's word is truth, do you think followers of Jesus should: (a) Believe the Bible? (b) Read the Bible? (c) Memorize parts of the Bible? (d) Obey the Bible? (e) Do all of these? Which do you do? Which do you need to do more of?
Blessings,

As It Is In Heaven
| |
Eternity brings focus to what really matters in time.
Our lives here are so often cluttered with the "cares of this world" that we fail to consider heavenly priorities and how they should be reflected in our earthly ones. At the beginning of Jesus' most famous prayer, He teaches us to pray that God's will "be done on earth as it is in heaven." What heaven is up to is critical for us to understand if we're going to live biblically.
Pastor Greg Laurie explains that heaven is anything but a long, boring church service. People in heaven know about the time and place of ongoing events on earth. They are rational and recall everything from their earthly days, but most importantly for us, they have a unique perspective from which we can learn a great deal.
In this rich and relevant study, Greg sheds scriptural light on the sensational books and stories about people going to heaven and coming back, answers the nagging questions we are all dying to ask, and guides us to focus--right now--on what really matters.

PROVERBS
The book of Proverbs is the Bible's how-to manual. The proverbs teach us how to be successful and prosperous in our work, our dealings with family and friends, and our relationship with God. The direction and guidance they give us is practical, concrete, reasonable and fruitful. By reading Proverbs we discover the vital importance of learning to live wisely.
Preview Proverbs Bible Sudy
"Our era is one of theological and moral confusion, even of apostasy. And the apostle summons us, as he summoned Timothy, to be strong, brave and steadfast." In this way John Stott summarizes the message of Paul's second letter to Timothy, a letter about leadership and responsibility. The inductive studies in this guide speak to all who would stand for Christ in a world of slippery, relative truth. Our call is to bring the only real, solid Word of grace and truth to a world without hope. John Stott is one of the world's leading and most loved Bible teachers and preachers. In this guide you can explore Scripture under his guidance, enhancing your own in-depth study with insights gained from his years of immersion in God's Word. |

LET HOPE IN
Your past is not your past if it's still impacting your present.
Do you ever feel as though your life has become a broken record? You're hearing the same song play over and over again? Nearly every human being on earth has likely spent some time on the carousel of pain. Whether you're dealing with the guilt and regret of your own sinful choices, or you're sitting in the shame of someone else's deceitful actions, God wants to bring you healing. Pastor Pete walks us through the process of transformation, teaching us that if pain is not transformed, it will only be transferred. He reveals God's truths in this process through the biblical accounts of Joseph and David. Pete identifies the process of changing your life by these 4 choices:
Choice #1: Choosing to Transform Instead of Transfer
Choice #2: Choosing to Be Okay With Not Being Okay
Choice #3: Choosing to Trust Rather Than Please
Choice #4: Hurt People, Hurt People, But Free People, Choose to Free People
Whether you're looking for a new beginning or just ready for a renewal in your walk with God, Pete shows us that "anything is possible "when you learn how to make new choices and let hope in.

UNGLUED Sick of the kids not picking up after themselves, or did your husband not fix that shelf you asked him about umpteen times? Perhaps then you've felt yourself boiling over with raw emotion. It's a feeling we've all experienced, and one that Proverbs 31 Ministries President Lysa TerKeurst wants to help women learn to positively process. More often than not we hurt the ones we love the most, and Lysa wants to help women everywhere through the steps to stop those outbursts of emotion. Because Lysa has a warm and tender voice, reading one of her books feels as though you are talking to your best girlfriend about your daily travails. In Unglued, she explores many of the raw emotions we all experience, such as fear, anger, and regret. She breaks down the underlying causes of raw emotions enabling you to pinpoint the triggers, while also helping you manage and process daily frustrations. This leads to caring for yourself by staying in control of your emotions. Where before you may have seethed, now you will soothe. This newfound sense of emotional control, tied together with prayer and hope in a loving Savior, help Lysa and her readers, remain glued into a loving whole.
