Elihu Thayer, founder of New Hampshire Missionary Society, writes on abominations. One is planning wicked devices to over-reach and take advantage of others in the market place. These are idle, and strip others of their earnings.

Isn’t much of this today simply seen as being a good businessperson? Where “overreaching” and “taking advantage” are not sins but fiduciary responsibilities?

How can you engage in helping others?

"There are some persons, who take particular satisfaction in wicked devices, and seem never easy unless they are engaged in something, unlawful and injurious to others ... This description includes those, who employ their time in laying plans to over-reach and take advantage of others in their dealings with them; and who support themselves in idleness, or which is worse, in stripping others of their earnings."

The true temples of God are human hearts in which God would make His home. But sometimes there is no room for Him. In the Temple at Jerusalem Jesus found men doing things that desecrated the place, and He drove them out. He comes to us and would drive out of our hearts everything that defileth.

#devotionals #Bible

“But Peter continued knocking, and when he opened, they saw him and were amazed” Acts 12:16.

Why didn’t He rescue James? As the chapter opens, we read that Herod kills James with the sword, violent hands are laid on some in the church, and then he seizes Peter with plans to kill him too after the Passover.

What was going on in the minds of these early Christians when they saw their friends so easily persecuted (and this was after Saul had earlier ravaged the church) and one from Jesus’ inner circle so quickly killed? Was God really with them? Was the church to be destroyed by the world’s relentless hate?

The church was in earnest prayer to God for Peter while he languished in prison. But did they believe in prayer? When an angel miraculously had Peter walk out of the prison to where the church was praying, they don’t believe at first that it is him, and when they finally see him in the doorway, they were amazed.

Amazed? God can do all things, for sure, and their shaken faith was renewed. But why not rescue James the same way? Because it did not suit the sovereign Lord’s purpose! The same Jesus in control of Peter’s situation was in James’ … and in ours too.

If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:6-7 ESV)

Коли ж кажемо, що маємо спільність із Ним, а ходимо в темряві, то неправду говоримо й правди не чинимо! 7 Коли ж ходимо в світлі, як Сам Він у світлі, то маємо спільність один із одним, і кров Ісуса Христа, Його Сина, очищує нас від усякого гріха. (1 Івана 1:6-7 Ukrainian)

Almighty God, our merciful and kind Heavenly Father ~ thank you O LORD, for opening the doors of Heaven to all who will hear, believe and obey the truth about Jesus Christ, who suffered, bled and died on the cross in order to bring forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. Soften the resistance to the Gospel among people in many nations who refuse to hear the truth. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
