“The Law given from Sinai [The Ten Commandments] was a civil and municipal as well as a moral and religious code.”
John Quincy Adams. Letters to his son. p. 61John Quincy Adams:

 

 

Today is Friday, July 18, 2008                            

 

BREAD: (Rom 8:1 AV-1611) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Iesus, who walke not after the flesh, but after the spirit.           
DEVOTION: What does it mean to be “in Christ Jesus?” First, think about what it was for Noah to be in the ark. The ark was waterproof. How do we know it was? Well, God told Noah, "shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.” (Gen 6:14 AV-1611). The word “pitch” is exactly the same word translated as "atonement." You see, we are in Jesus as Noah was in that ark. Just as the storms of God’s wrath beat upon that ark, the storms of God’s wrath beat upon the Lord Jesus. But we are on the inside, and not one drop of condemnation can come through.

ACTION: Read Romans 8:35-39. Reflect on the things Paul says which will never separate you from God’s love. Give glory to God that your sins have been atoned by the righteous blood of the Saviour.

 

ON THIS DAY: 1704 Death of Baptist pastor and warrior for believers baptism Benjamin Keach. On his deathbed he requested that Joseph Stennet preach his funeral sermon from these words: "For Iknow whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is abvle to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." 

[Thomas Crosby, The History of the English Baptists, ( 1738-40; reprint ed., Lafayette, Tenn.: Church History Researchy and Archives, 1979), 4:308.]

Humbly Grateful, or Grumbly Hateful

“Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Saviour of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [the Fourth of July]?" “Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Saviour? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity"?
--1837, at the age of 69, when he delivered a Fourth of July speech at Newburyport, Massachusetts.John Quincy Adams:

Today is Wednesday, July 16, 2008                            

 BREAD: (Jam 1:2 AV-1611) My brethren, count it all ioy when ye fall into diuers temptations,         
DEVOTION: Sometimes we have to admit that it’s hard to “count it all joy.” Sometimes we complain, and rather than being humbly grateful, we get grumbly hateful. Oh, how I wish that, beginning today, we would emulate the faith of the saints that have gone before us — saints like Fannie Crosby, the great hymn writer. For most of her life Fannie Crosby was blind, and yet, at the tender age of eight, Fannie wrote:
Oh! What a happy soul am I. Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world, contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy that other people don’t.
To weep and sigh because I’m blind, I cannot and I won’t.
And do you know what? She didn’t.

ACTION: How can you apply this truth to your life today? How can you share this truth with someone else?

 

ON THIS DAY: 1836 John E. Clough was born on this date, considered to be the Moody of missions. His record of the Telugu awakining, in which he baptized over 8,500 nationals during a six-week period. (Our Modern day Mega Churches, [social clubs] aren't baptizing any converts in a six-week period. drh)
