"Salute Rufus..........and his mother and mine......" Rom. 16:13
Apparently Paul believed in Mother's day too. This very special lady had opened her home and her heart to Paul. As he moved about fulfilling his evangelistic duties he knew he was always welcome in her home. If he needed a listening ear she was available; if he needed a place to just put his feet up he found it there!
So deeply did Paul appreciate Rufus's mother that he honors her in his special letter presented to the Romans. For all time this anonymous lady is engraved on the pages of God's book! Happy Mother's Day to Rufus's mom and all mother's especially my dear wife!

This Same Jesus
"This same Jesus...." Acts 1:11
Standing starry-eyes the disciples gazed up into Heaven -- They were at a loss -- what would they do without Him? Who would fill the void His absence left? Would they ever see Him again? Breaking into their revelry the angel said, "This same Jesus is coming again." Anticipate His return! Expect His coming! Occupy till He comes! It could be anytime now! I am expecting Him. How about you?!

Don't Quit
"But none of these things move me...." Acts 20:24
Don't Quit. That's been the theme of my ministry over several Sunday evenings. Life is filled with unexpected temptations and the tendency is to quit running the race and give in. Sickness overwhelms us and we say what's the use. Why not just quit! Financial reverses occur and we throw up our hands in despair and say I'm just going to quit!
Paul had every reason to throw in the towel; every reason to give in but he determined not to quit! There was just too much too lose! I feel that way too. How about you?!

He knows us
"......for he knew what was in man." John 8:25
He knows all about us! Nothing about us is hidden to His eyes. He saw Nathaniel under the fig tree and declared him to be a man in whom there was no guile!
He saw the impotent man helplessly laying at His feet. He knew he had been a long time in that condition and declared, "Rise up and walk!"
He met the woman at the well and declared that she had five husbands and the one she was living with was not her husband! Then in a moment He forgave her every sin!
He is like that! He sees us as we are and says "Come unto me and I will give you rest." I am going to seek Him while He may be found! Won't you join me?
