Question for the day: What can we pray with YOU about today?

Good morning,

This is just a reminder that every day, while we are studying God’s Word to add to our website, someone from our ministry, Dysmas Conduit, is holding you up before the Lord in prayer. May He greatly bless you today as you pursue His will and He is glorified through you.

God’s blessings, our love,

George & Sidney Granger

Good morning Church!

"Go and make disciples of all nations..."

Matthew 28:19

Jesus was talking to some pretty ordinary guys when He spoke those words. They had learned a lot as they had followed Him for three years, but they still had so many questions. They knew more about fishing than they did about "making disciples of all nations."

And yet, Jesus looks at these guys who have become His friends and says to them, "Go disciple the world." And by the grace of God, they did.

A few years ago Dr. Eugene Bunkowske, former supervisor of the Doctor of Missiology program at Concordia Theological Seminary, Ft. Wayne, and current Professor of Christian Outreach at Concordia University, St. Paul, asked a group of pastors this question: If every church on earth but yours disappeared, would your church have a strategy for discipling the world?

Most of the men just gulped. Busted.

They had strategies for all kinds of things, but discipling the world? They had strategies for introducing the new hymnal. They had strategies for getting a few more people in the pews on Sunday. They had strategies for increasing offerings so they could hire another program person.

But, truth be told, they realized that if every church on earth disappeared but theirs, the mission of Jesus was in trouble.

If every church on earth but [ours] disappeared, would we have a strategy for discipling the world?

We do now.

Helping one another live life with Jesus every day is a simple but powerful way to eventually disciple the world.

We are some pretty ordinary people. We have learned a lot and yet who of us doesn't feel like we have more questions than answers? We feel like we know more about almost anything else than we do about making disciples of all nations.

And yet, Jesus looks at us who He loves so much and says, "Go disciple the world." And by the grace of God, we will.

Dear Jesus, who can I help live life with you today?

Enjoy being His Church!

YOU TUBE SONG FOR TODAY

Amazing Grace

Leann Rimes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT88jBAoVIM

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Why Israel Must Return to Palestine

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Do the promises in Scripture of future restoration refer to the church,

or will God's people possess the land of Israel again?

What does the Bible really say about God's plan to fulfill His promise?

Hosea 3
