Episode 31 - “The Evils of Racism – Part 1: What the Bible says about Mankind”
The world tries to heal the wound of racism with temporary Band-Aids. We believe the only true cure is found in the Word of God and a transformed heart. This episode is a call to the Body of Christ to stand for the truth, reject every form of "ugly" prejudice, and see mankind through the eyes of the Father.

Daily Devotion — August 22 | Acts 20:9 (NKJV)

Stay Spiritually Alert

Acts 20 records a remarkable event during Paul's visit to Troas. As Paul taught late into the night, a young man named Eutychus fell asleep while sitting in a window. He fell from the third story and died. Through God's miraculous power, Paul embraced him, and the young man was restored to life, bringing great comfort and encouragement to everyone present.

While this passage highlights God's miraculous power, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining spiritually alert. Just as physical weariness affected Eutychus, believers must guard against spiritual complacency that can cause us to drift from close fellowship with God.

For believers today, God calls us to remain attentive to His Word and active in our relationship with Him. Through regular prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with other believers, our faith is strengthened, and we are prepared to faithfully follow Christ each day.

Reflection Questions

1. Am I staying spiritually alert each day?

2. What distractions keep me from focusing on God's Word?

3. How can I grow stronger in my walk with Christ?

Prayer

Lord God, thank You for the life and hope You give through Jesus Christ. Help me to remain spiritually awake and attentive to Your Word. Strengthen my faith and keep my heart focused on You each day. In Jesus name Amen.

Practical Application

● Set aside uninterrupted time for daily Bible reading.

● Remove distractions that hinder your spiritual growth.

● Stay connected with other believers for encouragement.

Takeaway Thought

A spiritually alert heart is ready to receive and obey God's truth.

Jesus' blood is sufficient for our salvation. Our redemption is given as a gift to us who place our faith in that blood.

The Thief was saved by the Savior who had bled that blood while on the cross sealing the new covenant between the Father and the Son by paying the cost for all mankind. The Thief was the first of the born again under that new covenant. He didn't have to partake of the Lord's Supper. No works were necessary. No sacraments were necessary. He believed, and, despite not having been baptized in water, Jesus declared that the Thief would be good to go.

Perhaps, after Jesus died, the Thief sinned before he too died. Maybe, he looked down on the soldiers there and hated them for what they had done and were doing to him and the others on crosses. It wouldn't have mattered though. He had already received the assurance of eternal life through his belief in Jesus. Nothing else was necessary, and there isn't anything necessary for anyone else either.

The blood of Jesus is more than enough!

DAILY BREAD FELLOWSHIP

DBF-001-029

Today’s Scripture

John 2:8 (ESV)

“And he said to them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.’ So they took it.”

Opening the Scriptures

The servants had obeyed Jesus and filled the six stone jars with water up to the brim.

Then Jesus gave another command.

“Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.”

Notice what John tells us next:

“So they took it.”

There is no recorded argument.

There is no demand for an explanation.

There is simply obedience.

The servants had put water into those jars. They knew what had been placed there. Yet Jesus now told them to draw from the jars and take it to the man responsible for the wedding feast.

They still did not know what Jesus was doing.

But they obeyed what He said.

Living God’s Word Today

There are times when obeying Christ requires us to move forward without knowing what the result will be.

We often want certainty before obedience.

We want God to show us exactly how everything will work before we act.

But Scripture does not teach us to trust our ability to understand every circumstance.

It teaches us to trust God.

This does not mean Christians should act carelessly or treat every personal feeling as though it were a command from God.

That would be dangerous.

Our obedience must be governed by what God has actually revealed in His Word.

When Scripture speaks clearly, however, we should not delay obedience simply because we cannot see what God will accomplish through it.

We forgive because Christ commands us to forgive.

We speak truth because God commands truthfulness.

We love because Christ commands us to love.

We share the Gospel because Christ has commanded His people to make disciples.

We serve faithfully because we belong to Him.

The servants at Cana could not change water into wine.

Their responsibility was much simpler.

Jesus commanded.

They obeyed.

What happened next depended entirely upon the power of Christ.

This protects us from two serious mistakes.

We must not become passive and refuse to do what God commands.

But neither should we imagine that the results depend entirely upon us.

Obedience belongs to us. The power and the results belong to God.

Whatever responsibility Christ has placed before you today, carry it out faithfully according to His Word.

Then trust Him with what follows.

Question for Today

Are you willing to obey Christ even when you cannot yet see what He will do?

Respond: “Lord Jesus, I will trust You and obey Your Word.”

This is a resource for all us believers to use as a way to start conversations with people who need Jesus. Please read and consider how YOU can use it to fulfill Mark 16:15. Thanks.

I believe every one of us has a “thing” – something we are passionate about, something we’re willing to spend time, resources, and emotion pursuing. What's yours - and when it's all said & done, does it matter? Read on: https://wp.me/p2wzRb-1h

I belong to a Celebrate Recovery group and this is a prayer they say in every meeting. Celebrate Recovery is a global Christian organization that is for everyone. To me it is the hands and feet of the church in helping people with hurts, hang-ups and habits. It is a tremendous support group for any issue in your life and we all have issues. It is not just for addicts and in fact only about 20% of the people could be classified with addictions. This is to help with marriages and relationships, pain, anxiety, anger, and unforgiveness and it is all built on the Gospel. God bless!

You will live forever, but do you know where? If heaven is your home, then when you take your last breathe on this Earth of His, will you be satisfied with all that you have e done for the Lord in this life for Him? Let's do out best to give the gospel today, all of Heaven rejoices when one sinner repents!
