6-19-18 More Desirable Than Gold

Daily Devotion: More Desirable Than Gold - By Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org
 
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; . . . More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. -Psalm 19:7-10
 
Most of us look back at our high school yearbook photos in shock. We ask ourselves, "What was I thinking?" Things are always changing and shifting. Culture changes. Fashion changes. Technology changes. And of course, hairstyles change.
 
In contrast, God's Word is always fresh. It's always new. The Scriptures tell us, "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning" (Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV). And not only is the Word of God always new, but it is perfect. That is in direct contrast to the flawed, imperfect reasoning of humanity today.
 
The Word of God is also a treasure. Psalm 19:10 says these truths are more desirable than gold. We should open the Bible with an attitude that says, "I want to see what's in the Word of God for me today. How can God speak to me from the Scriptures?" The Bible is precious.
 
When you reach the last day of your life, you are not going care about a cool car. You are not going to care about how much money you have in the bank. You are not going to care about the size of the house you lived in. You are not going to care about your next vacation or the latest phone or the newest anything.
 
But I can tell you something that you will care about: You are going to care about what the Bible has to say. This is the Book that tells you how to get to Heaven. This is the Book that prepares you to know God.
 
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!" (Luke 11:28 NKJV). If you want peace, joy, meaning, and happiness, it will come through knowing God's Word.

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

9-17-23 Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-16-23 It Is Coming

It Is Coming :: By Daymond Duck Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this coming, and
