A Dangerous Place CLICK on the Scripture above to link into your daily reading plan.
March 1, 2014
By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! |
| TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me." (John 12:26)
TODAY'S WORD , what is the most dangerous place in the world? A war zone certainly qualifies. The jungles of Africa can seem very dangerous, especially at night, when wild animals run right through the safari camp. You can hear animal sounds like you have never heard before in your life. That's a scary place to be.
But did you ever think that one of the most dangerous places you can be is right in church? Attending church can be hazardous to your spiritual health if you are coming for the wrong reason.
Why is it hazardous? Because you are exposed to truth. If you have no intention of putting that truth into practice into your life, your church can actually be one of the worst places to be. It's a dangerous thing to hear the gospel without any intention of applying it in your life.
You may be fooling yourself. Are you in church because other people are? Are you going because it's popular? Or are you going to church because you have made the decision to follow Christ?
Jesus said, " 'If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor' " (John 12:26).
When I signed up to follow Jesus, I didn't sign up to do what other people were doing. I signed up to be His follower no matter what. He will stand by you as you follow Him, and God will honor you. A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father, let me to-day do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store,
And may I be so favoured as to make
Of joy's too scanty sum a little more. Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend;
Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy need,
Or sin by silence when I should defend. However meagre be my worldly wealth,
Let me give something that shall aid my kind -
A word of courage, or a thought of health,
Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find. Let me to-night look back across the span
'Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say -
Because of some good act to beast or man -
"The world is better that I lived today," in Jesus name, Amen. |
| , my your life be full of His blessings.
