Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:20

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

Got to renew my vows and 20 years later I am still blown away by the words I say and the response of our Moderator. Thank you Jesus.

“When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21–22

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23–24

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lordyour God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9

During a two-week trip to Gabon at Bongolo Hospital, our World Medical Mission volunteers performed orthopedic surgeries on 37 patients--and each one was presented with a Bible from our chaplains! Prayer in an operating room is something not commonly seen in the United States, but it’s something one of our volunteers, Dr. Langford, started doing midway through his career. “I've always found that it puts the patient at ease but it also put me at ease,” Langford said. “You realize that for some of these patients, if we don't do this operation, then it would never get done.” We are so grateful for all of our Samaritan's Purse volunteers who make these trips possible!

What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 1 Corinthians 14:26

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Daniel 9:18

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

Jesus does not see our past events. Rather, He sees you, and He loves you. In Him, your past is washed away, and all things are made new. Watch "The Holy Spirit: Giving New Life" now: intouch.org/watch Check local listings: intouch.org/station-finder

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” Matthew 7:15

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. John 1:12–13
