Daily Devotion: No Safer Place - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org The just shall live by faith. —Romans 1:17 Everyone has and lives by a form of faith. Now, someone might say they’re not a person of faith. But everyone has faith. Everyone applies faith. Even the atheist has faith, even though it isn’t faith in God. Actually, I think it takes more faith to be an atheist and to not believe there is a Creator or someone who is in control of all the things around us. Everyone has a measure of faith. Everyone has faith in something. Maybe it’s faith in themselves, which will be disappointing. Maybe they have faith in a political system, which will be even more disappointing. But they have faith. I think the problem is that we make faith so mystical when, in fact, we act in faith every day. For example, when you go to a restaurant and order, you have faith that the food will be fresh and will be prepared properly. When you board a 747 that weighs more than 300,000 pounds, you apply faith that it will somehow get up into the air and take you to the place you want to go. When you step into an elevator, you’re applying faith that all the cables are working and that maintenance workers have done their due diligence. When you go to the pharmacy and to fill your medications, you’re trusting the pharmacist knows what he or she is doing and will put the right pills in the right bottle. But when someone comes along and says, “Have faith in God,” people will think that’s insane. Yet the Bible tells us, “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17 NKJV). It doesn’t say, “The just shall live by emotions,” because sometimes we’re up emotionally, and sometimes we’re down. So let’s believe the Word of God regardless of our emotions because there’s no safer place to put our faith than in God Himself.

9-18-23 Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022

Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022 – By Hal Lindsey - https://harbingersdaily.com/rage-against-jesus-and-his-people-the-ominous-trend-of-2022/ By the end of 2022, eight billion people lived on the earth. They were besieged by a series of plagues, droughts, false prophets, war, the threat of greater war, hatred, rage, theft, and violence. The eight billion were fragmented in a variety of ways — according to their nations, level of income, race, gender, various understandings of gender and human sexuality, along with religion or the lack thereof. Change became overwhelming to most of the eight billion. For those over 40, it was almost unfathomable that by the end of 2022, not even half the students at Cambridge University identified as heterosexual. In 2022, deception ruled the day. Trust in government, educational institutions, and the news media had been largely obliterated. Trust in health officials and doctors had become severely damaged. In suc

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

Now It Is Obvious Why :: By Dennis Huebshman Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles Once again, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” (ESV – all emphasis mine) Going from cover to cover in the Bible, we see many countries mentioned as being in the end-time activities. However, the once most powerful nation on earth, America, is not specifically mentioned. One would think that this country would be listed because of all it has accomplished up to now. The possibility here could be found in Genesis 12:3; “I will bless those wh
