Jesus uses comedy to confront a practical problem. He says to clean out your life in order to help you clean up others.

Luke 6:42 (NLT): How can you think of saying, ‘Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Keep a clear heart before the Lord and be so careful to look carefully into the mirror of God’s word before you start to cut into your friend’s little problem.

🌒3️⃣ECLIPSES OF #BIBLE AND what THEY MEAN 🌙 #DailyDevotional #Christian #Prophecy #Religion #EndTimes

The Three Eclipses of the Bible and What They Mean Our eyes come across three eclipses in the Bible. The first one is when God judged Egypt for mistreating His children. This was one of the ninth of ten plagues... the final one before total rejection. "So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days" (Exodus 10:22). The second is the glorious one when Jesus is on the cross and the wrath of God for our sin is placed on Him. This darkness too lasted three hours. IN this time, God's wrath, the judgment for the sins of humanity was placed upon Jesus and He died in our place. "Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour" (Matthew 27:45). The third eclipse mentioned is yet to come. In several places the Bible foretells a time when God’s wrath will be poured out on the earth and there will not be an eclipse of just a small section but the whole earth. This will mark a ...

“But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works” (Psalm 73:28). Speaking God’s Works is a prominent theme in the Songs of Israel.  I’d like to ask you to glorify our God for doing wonderful works in a tangible way by providing a house for our family.  Front Porch Thankful for believing, praying, women in my life. I’ll be honest, I have not been praying very believingly about a new house until recently.  But my mom has been praying for years, and my wife has been praying for years, and my daughters have been praying for at least a year that the Lord would provide a house for our family. When my mom recounted to me the different amenities she was praying for, I tried to stop her.  “Mom, we are in NYC.  We don’t need to think about purchasing a home.  And especially one like you are asking for.  That is for people who live in suburbia.  God has called us to pa...

💰WICKED OF WORLD 🌎 PROSPER⁉️ How and Why? #Daily #Devotional #Christian #shorts #Religion #Bible

In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with an age long question. Why do wicked people prosper (at times). We do see that, don't we? Perhaps that person at your workplace that cuts corners and harms others and yet they get promoted and paid more. But you are working as you ought and seem to get overlooked, or even let go! This happens in so many areas. Asaph really struggled with this. Then he went to the house of the Lord and remembered that the prosperity of the wicked is truly temporary. Even if it lasts a decade or two. It ends one day. Whereas the blessing the Lord gives - the blessing of life with Him and fullness of joy will last for eternity. So today, GAIN an eternal perspective of GAIN. And rest in the Lord's goodness and provision for today. I love how he ends the Psalm: "Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Those who deser...
