Mothers!

"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!

The devil made me do it honey

".....because your adversary the devil....." 1 Peter 5:8
 

Billy Sunday said, "I believe in the devil for two reasons: One the Bible speaks of him and Two I've done business with him." You've heard it said, "The Devil made me do it." That's no Joke! He will do whatever necessary to trip you up; to cause us to swerve from the right path; to deceive us into believing a little sin is permissible. Give him no opening or advantage. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

"..they saw that the stone was rolled away..." Mark 16:1

I've been reading a new book by Max Lucado, the title says it all. It simply says, "He still moves stones." I like that! For wherever you see Him on the pages of the New Testament He is moving stones. If it's sickness, He moves it out of our life! If it's disease he banishes it. If it's carnality He cleanses it! Whatever the stone He can roll it away. Let us give Him opportunity.

He's all I need

"At the name of Jesus......." Phil. 2:10

Lepers are cleansed; blind eyes are opened; deaf ears are unstopped; crippled limbs are straightened; dead bodies are raised. At the name of Jesus sins are forgiven; carnal hearts are cleansed; victory is assured! He is our all in all! In Him we live and move and have our being. I am truly glad for Jesus. Bless His Name!
