September 25

Today's Reading

Isaiah. Great nations rise, then fall. They depend on false gods that aren't gods at all. Will the U.S. fall? It depends who whether or not we make God our Lord.

Ephesians. "15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." What a beautiful picture of Christ accomplishing His purposes in and through us! This really spoke to me. We have recently made a couple of key leadership decisions that I'm convinced will help us more fully exemplify this passage.

Psalms. Throughout Scripture and history, the god of this age has wielded seemingly endless power. It can seem as if the true God has been overshadowed by the great influence of the devil. In the end, however, God is victorious...always!

Proverbs. Beware of shortcuts when building your house. That's true of families as well as individuals and churches as well as businesses. It's true in finance. Long-term success requires wisdom and takes time to accomplish.

What thoughts do you have?
