Victory Over Death


Billy Graham's Daily Devotion
21 Jan 2012

O death, where is thy sting? . . .
–1 Corinthians 15:55

Death is the most democratic experience in life for we all participate in it. We think of its happening only to other people. We don’t like to grow old and we don’t like to die. The Bible teaches that death is an enemy of man and God. But it also teaches that this enemy, death, will ultimately be destroyed forever; that in fact it has already been defeated at the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Death, for a Christian, brings permanent freedom from evil. It also means the believer will be like Jesus. We shall be like Christ in love. So much of self is involved in what we do here; but one day, in Christ, we will have perfect love. What a glorious time it will be when we get to heaven!

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Jesus, Your victory over death comforts my heart and fills me with hope.

Como hay alegrías, hay tristezas

Como hay alegrías por oraciones contestadas como que los papas de Santi no se tienen que ir de la casa Gloria a Dios!! Lamento de todo corazón informarles que el abuelito de Sara, falleció hoy y ella nos pide que la acompañemos en oración y pide por su familia en Colombia. Para la Gloria de Dios hay fiesta en los cielos porque su Abuelito amaba a Dios y siempre le reconoció como Salvador. Orar sin cesar!! Dando Gloria a Dios!

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...
