A Look at the Book #261

The Devotional


What does Papa “J” Say?

We have not heard the instruction of godly fathers, nor have we read the words of godly people. The result, our family honor is in the hands of another and the labor of the bread winner is in the lap of foreigners near and far and we mourn the loss. Proverbs 6:7-11

It does seem to me that there are not many people interested in the Living Word of God these days. I would like to be wrong about that and sometimes I get this thought that I know how the prophets felt years ago when they warned of the pending judgments of God on nations that turn their back on Him. “Oh! I can almost hear someone saying, and now he thinks he's a prophet!” Not so! I am not a prophet, nor the son of one, but I do compare the Word of God with current events. Now either the current events are wrong and so is the Word of God, or both the Word of God and current events are right, it can be no other way. You and I should be keen enough to see that the HISTORY and FUTURE of all nations are in the Hands of God who is full of Mercy and Grace, or full of Judgment. History... is HIS STORY and it will unfold by His Plan and Purpose. Blessing and prosperity to the nation that follows Him. Cursing and Judgment to the nation that does not. Romans 9:14-29; Exodus 33:19; Hosea 2:23; Hosea 1:10; Isaiah 10:22-23 and Isaiah 1:9.

The Gospel of John

John 14:7-11 There is only ONE source of TRUTH, there is only ONE WAY to eternity and there is only ONE LIFE worth pursuing. If you think about this seriously you will find it to be comforting, peaceful and promising. God is not like going shopping at the mall or to some specialty store on the strip. You do not have to wait until God ripens, nor do you have to choose the cheaper brand because you cannot afford the more expensive spread.

God is a Spirit, the fullness of God is present in the Person of Jesus. If this is truth, (if and it is true) then again this is the most wonderful truth that the ear can hear. He who has an ear, let Him or Her hear that God is in Jesus Christ His Son who is reconciling the world to Himself. 2 Corinthians 5:19

No religion developed by man can compare itself with the following: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Works of Jesus Christ is proof that the God the Father is in God the Son. No one but God can raise the dead as Jesus states clearly, Believe my works! John 14:10-11. All that religion can do is send a person to hell since all the founders of religion are in the grave and their works have ended. Remember what Jesus said in John 12:30-32!
