A father asked his Son, “If three frogs were sitting on a limb that hung over a pond, and one frog decided to jump how many frogs would be left?”
The little boy grinned and said, “That’s easy, Dad. Two.”

“No,” the father replied. “The answer is three. The one frog only DECIDED to jump. He never jumped.   You see, son, there is a big difference between deciding and doing!”

While Christianity calls on us to make important life decisions, there must be follow through. Action. Activity. Execution. Commitment!!!!

Psalm 37:5 "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and He will act!"

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."

1 Corinthians 10:31 "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Today's Daily Devotional - "TALE OF A FORGETFUL KING" - 8/15/17

Image
Tale of a Forgetful King "For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14 Once upon a time there was a very sick king. So deathly ill was he that his friend, the prophet, made a bedside visit with the dire pronouncement that it was time for the king to draw up his personal will and put his house in order since death would be the next visitor knocking at the royal door. No sooner had the prophet left than the good-hearted king turned his face to the wall and burst into tears in a sobbing plea to God. And God, who can be more tenderhearted than the one who delivers the medical prognosis, stopped the prophet before he was out of the palace. "Go back and tell My friend that I'm going to extend his life by 15 more years." And as confirmation (because some medical reversals need empirical evidence), the shadow on the sun dial went backwards 10 degrees! As happy as a death row inmate with a presidential pardon, King Hezekiah set out to live his e...

Today's Daily Devotional "God is Jealous" 8/17/17

Image
   "God is Jealous" Nahum 1:2 Your Lord is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you with such a love that he would not stop in heaven without you; he would sooner die than you should perish, and he cannot endure that anything should stand between your heart's love and himself. He is very jealous of your trust. He will not permit you to trust in an arm of flesh. He cannot bear that you should hew out broken cisterns, when the overflowing fountain is always free to you. When we lean upon him, he is glad, but when we transfer our dependence to another, when we rely upon our own wisdom, or the wisdom of a friend--worst of all, when we trust in any works of our own, he is displeased, and will chasten us that he may bring us to himself. He is also very...

Today's Daily Devotional - 'Sinners Received' - 8/24/17

Image
"This man receiveth sinners." Luke 15:2 Observe the condescension of this fact. This Man, who towers above all other men, holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners--this Man receiveth sinners. This Man, who is no other than the eternal God, before whom angels veil their faces--this Man receiveth sinners. It needs an angel's tongue to describe such a mighty stoop of love. That any of us should be willing to seek after the lost is nothing wonderful--they are of our own race; but that he, the offended God, against whom the transgression has been committed, should take upon himself the form of a servant, and bear the sin of many, and should then be willing to receive the vilest of the vile, this is marvellous. "This Man receiveth sinners"; not, however, that they may remain sinners, but he receives them that he may pardon their sins, justify their persons, cleanse their hearts by his purifying word, preserve their souls by the i...
