Sin's Separation

Song: The Way That He Loves

Scripture: Genesis 11:1-32

Genesis 3-11 describes the consequences wrought by sin’s spread, consequences summed up in one word: separation. Sin separates man from God—“I heard the sound of Thee… so I hid myself.” Sin separates man from peace in his labor—“thorns and thistles it shall grow for you.” Sin separates man from beast—“the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth.” Sin separates man from family—“Cain rose up against Abel… and killed him.” Sin separates the soul from the body—“Adam lived 930 years, and he died.” Sin separates man unto final judgment—“Then God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me.’” Sin separates all men—“Noah found,” notjustice, but “grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Sin separates man repeatedly—Noah’s fresh start became a fresh start for sin.

From the tower of Babel, we learn that sin separates man from real progress. Civilization doesn’t make man better. It makes man faster, fatter, richer, busier, cozier, smarter, haughtier, and so a more stubborn sinner. So God at times mercifully blunts man’s worldly progress to remind him of what’s really important. At Babel, God separated men from men, so that men left on their own might seek God. And from the families at Babel, God separated Abram. From Abram He raised a Savior who on Pentecost preached a message to unite the divided peoples by separating them from their sins.

The Family Tree

Song: Standing On The Promises

Scripture: Genesis 10:1-32

Genesis 10, often called the Table of Nations, is a family tree of all the nations populating the earth when God brought Israel up from Egypt.

From Japheth descended the peoples of Europe and Asia, and the great empires which followed Judah’s captivity in Babylon. Madai was the father of the Medes, whose conquest secured the power of Cyrus the Great. The sons of Javan settled in Ionia, or ancient Greece. Kittim’s seed peopled Cyprus and the name eventually became identified with the Romans who ruled in Jesus’ day.

Much space is given to the sons of Ham, whose descendants settled in Babylon, Syria, Canaan, Egypt and Africa. Mizraim is the ancient name for Egypt, Cush for Ethiopia, Put for Libya. Nimrod founded the chief cities of Babylon and Assyria. Ham’s descendants were the thorn in Israel’s side. Egypt oppressed her, Canaan’s children seduced her with idolatry, Assyria and then Babylon carried her from the promised land.

Shem was the father of the Semitic peoples. They populated the region from Syria through Mesopota-mia to Arabia. Abraham and the Jewish people descended from Shem. In fact, the name “Hebrew” may have come from the name of Shem’s son Eber. Genesis 10 is a glossary of all the tribes and peoples that play an important role in God’s plans for Israel. From Noah’s seed the nations of the earth were separated. Through the seed of Shem, in the person of Jesus, they are united once more.

"Then God Remembered Noah"

Song: To God Be The Glory

Scripture: Genesis 8:1-22

God remembered Noah. It’s not that God had forgotten Noah. Remembering with God is never accidental. It is always on purpose and with purpose. God was mindful of Noah, and so dried up the flood waters with a great wind. The lesson to be learned from “God remembered Noah” is this: God never forgets His people.

The dove remembered Noah. The beasts of the earth have often found a place in God’s plan for mankind. God used a parade of animals to prepare Adam for the making of Eve. He prepared a fish to save Jonah and teach the stubborn prophet about His mercy. Because of its natural nesting instincts, the dove became God’s messenger of peace to Noah. It brought glad tidings that the earth was dry. The lesson is simple: “the heavens declare the glory of God, and earth showeth His handiwork.”

Noah remembered God. Noah’s first act upon returning to dry land was to offer sacrifices to God. Not one burnt offering. Not two. But an offering of every type of clean animal and clean bird that he had carried with him on the ark. Noah’s family made a memory that day to add to all the memories they had made during their year in the ark. Man makes no better use of his mind, than when he remembers God. Families make no better memories than those they make in God’s service.

One more thought to remember: God remembered first.

Just In Time

Song: Without Him

Scripture: Genesis 6:1-22

The Bible reveals that God has done everything that an all-powerful, all-loving, all-wise God could possibly do to save sinners.

God gave man one law in a perfect paradise and man sinned. God left man alone to suffer the consequences of sin and he sinned to the extent that “every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” God purged the earth with a flood and started over again; the puddles had barely dried, when man sinned yet again. God gave man a law that dotted every “i”
and crossed every “t,” a law that isolated him from the other nations of the earth, and man sinned still more.

God tried everything. No man can argue that God was too hard, or that God was too lenient, or that He should have given man another chance, or that He should have done more to explain the rules. He did all that to no avail. Man sinned every time. Imagine if God had left man alone just one more generation in the days of Noah. If Noah was the only man worth redeeming in his time, would anyone have “found favor” before God in the next generation? Not likely. God intervened at the right time and through Noah and by means of the flood instilled a healthy reverence, fear, and gratitude in the hearts of Noah’s sons. If God’s judgment had not come just in time, His mercy might not have come ever.

Praise God for His timing.

Some Simple Truths

Song: How Firm A Foundation

Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25

"It is not good that the man should be alone.” God knows what is good and what is not good for man. He commands what is good. He forbids what is bad. It’s that simple.

“I will make him a help suitable for him.” God made woman to be a help to man. A man is happiest when he lets his woman help. A woman is happiest when she helps her man. It’s that simple.

“And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast… and every fowl.” Animal life was not the product of chance mutations over eons of time. Mature animal life was formed by God from the ground in an instant. It’s that simple.

“Whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” God put man over creation, permitting him to name each living creature. Regardless of what the scientist says, man is different from beast. It’s that simple.

“Man shall leave father and mother, and cleave unto his wife.” If man and woman are to forsake family for one another, ties to job, to friends, to comrades must be forsaken also. That’s the sense of “leave” and “cleave.” It’s that simple.

“And they shall be one flesh.” When God says that man and woman are “one flesh,” they are no longer two, but one. “What God joined together, let not man put asunder.” It’s that simple.

The First Weekend

Song: In The Garden

Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2:3

Saturday was God’s day of rest after the activity of creation. His weekend was a one day weekend, not two. Sunday, not Monday, had been the beginning of His work week.

Imagine the first Saturday, and the satisfaction that must have been a part of it! For the first time all of creation—the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the beasts of the earth—joined in a chorus of praise to the Creator. For the first time ever, the sun rose on a fully completed creation. Man and woman enjoyed upon this first Saturday perfect and entire access to God.

That first Saturday was indeed a day of rest for God, for man, for all creation. The curse of sin would all too soon take that rest away. The Sabbath rest of the Jews would provide some temporary and partial rest from sin’s curse by allowing man to rest from his labor and commune with God. But how imperfect was that rest compared to the first weekend when communion with God was not a mere shadow, but a reality.

God be thanked that Jesus Christ, Lord of the Sabbath, has given man rest again, not just from sin’s consequences, but from sin’s curse. And “Lord haste the day when the faith shall be sight” and our rest shall again be perfect and abiding and our Sabbath without end.

Heaven's Witness To Salvation

Song: The Gospel Is For All

Scripture: Acts 19:1-10

Four times in the book of Acts we read of believers upon whom the Spirit descended and miraculous signs were manifested.

In Acts 2, the Spirit descended upon the Jewish believers who then spoke in tongues. The Apostles were empowered and Peter, speaking for them, explained that the Spirit’s outpouring was the sign of Jesus’ heavenly reign and of His offer of pardon and fellowship to the penitent believer.

In Acts 8, Peter and John laid their hands upon the first non-Jewish believers, the Samaritans, so that the Spirit fell upon them and they spoke in tongues. Here was heaven’s confirmation that salvation was for the Samaritan as well as the Jew.

In Acts 10, lest any question the prerogative of uncircumcised believers to be heirs of salvation, the Spirit fell upon the Gentiles of Cornelius’ house even as it had upon the Jews on Pentecost.

Finally, in Acts 19, twelve isolated believers of Asia who were only informed of John’s baptism were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Paul laid his hands on them so that they too received the Spirit. Like the eleventh hour laborers (Matthew 20:1-16) they were given the same sign that John himself had prophesied would accompany Jesus’ reign.

Four times heaven bore witness by the Spirit’s descent to the reign of Christ indicating His promise of salvation for believers in all nations for all ages.

The One Talent Man

Song: A Beautiful Life

Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30

I’ve been the one talent man. I still am in the extent of my abilities. But I mean in my attitude toward service I’ve been the one talent man.

The one talent man glories in his thrift. He doesn’t waste what the Lord has entrusted him. He isn’t prodigal with His substance. He just doesn’t do anything with it. He buries his talent and benefits nobody by it. I’ve done that. It’s inexcusable.

The one talent man pities his meager abilities. Leave the teaching to the five talent man—after all, he’s better equipped. Leave the visiting to the two talent man—he has more time. I’ve found excuses for not doing my share. One talent men can do at least one talent’s worth of teaching and visiting. Self-pity brings God no profit.

The one talent man feigns seriousness. He was really only concerned about not causing the Lord any loss. He knew the Lord to be a hard man and didn’t want to make any poor investments so he just made none. I’ve done that too. The Lord knows the risks. He knows that I may say the wrong thing, or say too much, or over prepare, or fall on my face. But that’s no excuse to say nothing or do nothing for fear of falling. There’s no punishment for trying.

Watch the one talent mentality. There’s not anyone who claims to be a five talent man. That’s why the parable is about the one talent man. Avoid his mistakes. They’re easy to make. I know. I’ve been there.

The Two Foundations

Song: The Solid Rock

Scripture: Matthew 7:24-29

Jesus taught as one having authority. He called upon the multitudes who heard His preaching to do something. He gave them orders. He issued the charge that having seen His blueprint for life in the kingdom, it was time for the people to build. There were but two responses to His message.

The wise man builds his house upon the rock. The rock is Jesus Christ. It is His teaching which provides the foundation for the good life and the happy abode. The fact that He is God who cannot lie assures us of the truth of His teaching. The fact that He became a man to die in man’s stead gives us reason to build. The fact that He conquered sin and the grave makes the foundation indestructible and equips those who build upon it to face any storm of life which may assail them.

The foolish man builds his house upon the sand. The sand is any place without Jesus Christ. As the song says, “All other ground is sinking sand.” The man who doesn’t hear the teaching of Jesus, or who hears but doesn’t hearken, builds a house that cannot weather the storms of life. He builds on his own whims, on the beliefs of his parents, or on the values of society. All of these are shifting, sinking, shaking foundations. The house is doomed to fall.

Listen to Jesus today. He is the Master Builder. He alone can tell you where and how and with what materials to construct your life. Then build.

Jason Moore

The Bread of Life

Song: Break Thou The Bread Of Life

Scriptures: John 6:5-14

The miracles of Jesus were always practical in their aim. They were intended to lay the foundation for His teaching. The point to be gleaned from Jesus’ feeding of the 5000 is found the next day when He said to the multitudes, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger.”

Work not for the bread which perishes, but for the bread that endures. Don’t think that you’ve completed your work today when you’ve earned a living. If you did nothing to feed your soul today, you’re behaving just like the crowds who sought Jesus only when they were filled with loaves.

Look to Jesus for all that you require. Do you need wisdom to decide? Do you need strength to overcome? Do you need hope to endure? Look to Jesus. He is the bread of life. He worked this miracle so that we would trust in His ability to provide for all that we need each day.

The resources of Jesus are never exhausted. Things are not as they appear. Jesus took five loaves and two fishes, gave the five thousand all they wanted, and ended up with twelve baskets of fragments. He can supply more than you need. No problem is too complex. No need is too severe. No obstacle is too great. Jesus is able to deliver you.

Well, go earn your bread today, but not wheat, or white, or the green stuff. Secure for yourself the bread that really matters, the kind that endures.

Trivial Pursuits

Song: Let Him Have His Way With Thee

Scripture: Proverbs 28:22-27

In colorful and pointed fashion the Proverbs give us warnings for the everyday perils we encounter. Hear the wise man’s warnings about some trivial pursuits that engage foolish hearts.

Covetousness. The man who hastens after wealth finds himself impoverished. He may secure riches but at the price of his soul. His eye is evil, because it is not set on what has real value.

Flattery. If you rebuke a man and he repents, he will afterwards love you more than if you had encouraged him in his wickedness. Even if he doesn’t repent, your actions find favor with God.

Disrespect. A man can rob father and mother in many ways. He can steal from their purse thinking that they owe him. He can deprive them of the respect they deserve when he speaks to them. He can neglect them in their old age. Solomon says that he is a friend to those who destroy temples.

Arrogance. The proud man will be humbled. His works will end in chaos. The humble man will be exalted. The Lord will give him success.

Ego. The man who trusts in himself will soon learn that he does not have as many answers as he thought. The man who trusts in the Lord is wise. He finds all the answers he requires.

Selfishness. The man who closes his eyes to the poor will not save his wealth, but will inherit curses. The benevolent man will never lack.

Avoid the snares of the foolish today, and all your activities will meet with lasting success.

A Fourfold Prayer

Song: I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Scripture: Psalm 26

The Psalms are the meditations of godly men. The fact that they are inspired means that they are petitions worthy of our imitation. Four requests are made in Psalm 26 which we might well echo.

1. Vindicate me. This is a request for your innocence to be proven, for others to know that your plans and reasons are right. Be careful about vindicating yourself. You’re apt to go too far. It’s better to leave vindication up to the Lord.

2. Try me. This a prayer for the Lord to search your heart, to inspect your deepest thoughts and purposes and affections. You should make this prayer at least twice a day—morning and night.

3. Do not gather my soul with sinners. “Don’t lump me together with the wicked,” is what David is asking. Pray for good companions and request the wisdom to be a good companion
yourself.

4. Redeem me. Here is a plea for deliverance, salvation from temptation, from trials, from wicked men, from Satan, from sin and death. We should make use of this prayer frequently. The man who goes a day without it should review his spirituality.

Include these sentiments of David in your prayer for today and in your plans for tomorrow. They’ll help keep your heart in the right place, your feet on the right path, and your eyes on the right goal. They’ll keep you close to the Lord.

Conduct Worthy of the Gospel

Song: Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

Scripture: Acts 16:16-40

The story of Paul in the Philippian jailhouse is one of my favorites because of what it exposes in the heart of the Apostle Paul. It is the end of the story that impresses me. Paul and Silas, their legs and back just starting to scab over and bruises appear, are told that they are free to depart in peace. Paul objects and reveals their Roman citizenship to the terror of the magistrates. It was a criminal offense to scourge a Roman citizen. They came begging Paul and Silas to leave the city. Paul’s actions on this occasion were extraordinary in at least two ways.

First, the gospel was vindicated. The teaching of Paul had been misrepresented by the masters of the fortune-telling slave girl. The magistrates under the pressure of an angry mob did not inquire about Paul’s citizenship nor allow him to make a defense. But by publicly escorting Paul and Silas from the prison the humiliated judiciaries testified to the innocence of these missionaries and their message.

Secondly, Paul did not exercise his full legal right. Had he desired, Paul might have had the heads of the city’s magistrates. However his interest lay not with personal vengeance but with public vindication of the gospel. By not fully exercising his rights, he showed that this gospel was different.

“Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel” Paul later wrote to the Christians in Philippi. If you need help learning the sense of that command, look again at the conduct of Paul.

Jason Moore

Cautious Judgments

Song: An Evening Prayer

Scripture: Matthew 7:1-6

"Judge not, that you be not judged" is often quoted but frequently misunderstood. Jesus did not forbid making moral assessments of character. He merely urged caution and forbad the following:

Hypercritical judgments. These are overly harsh judgments, ones based on appearance and without all the facts.They are the product of pride, prejudice, jealousy, or competition where the aim is to drive in the splinter, not remove it. Beware! When you measure with a short stick you invite the Lord to use the same standard on you for "with the measure you use, it will bemeasured back to you."

Hypocritical judgments. If you correct another when you are guilty of the same, a similar, a greater, or a public fault, you condemn yourself. Further, your correction is not likely to be heard. The offender only sees your warts. He can't hear your words. Get the beam out of your own eye first. Then you will see clearly to help your brother. And he will be more willing to let you assist him.

Excessively tolerant judgments. "Don't cast your pearlsbefore swine." There are some folks with whom we should not waste our energy and resources. They have proven themselves unethical and uninterested in truth. Jesus said that it is our task to judge when it is time to let them be.Make wise judgments today for, in the manner you judge,you will be judged.

The Great Reformation

Song: Love Lifted Me

Scripture: Nehemiah 8:1-12

Nehemiah 8 is a story of reform. Its message is powerful. It speaks to us today revealing the elements of all religious reform.

"The people gathered together as one man." The aim of reform is reconciliation, first with God and consequently with men.

"They told Ezra to bring the Book of the Law." The basis of reform is the word of God. Any change that proceeds without God's direction is doomed.

"The ears of all the people were attentive to the Book." Men must see past the messenger, past their fellow listeners, past themselves, past the occasion, and attend to the Book for reform to be a reality.

"And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all thepeople." The rise of a clergy class is a curse to religion. For reform to take place, the people must be involved in biblical conversation. The people have a right to know whence the message comes.

"And when he opened the Book, all the people stoodup." Truth without simple reverence and sincerity is no good. Reformation involves the search for true righteousness without becoming self-righteous in the process.

"They read distinctly from the Book and gave thesense." Reformation involves persuasion. God wants man to seethe sense of what He commands. That's the only way to make committed followers.

Religious reformation does not occur in a day. It takes alifetime. But it starts with today. Ready?

Overcoming Bitterness

Song: Looking To Thee

Scripture: Genesis 37:23-28

Joseph was a favored son until he was seventeen; suddenly he was deprived of every conceivable right or privilege serving as a slave until he was thirty (Genesis 37:2; 41:46). His brothers rejected him and sold him into slavery (Genesis 37:28). Potiphar put him in prison for a crime he did not commit (Genesis 39:20). Pharoah’s cup bearer received help from Joseph then left him in prison to rot (Genesis 40:14-15, 23). Throughout his stay in Egypt (93 years) he was subject to race prejudice (Genesis 39:14, 17; 43:32). Joseph was a prime canidate for bitterness. But Joseph exercised a freedom that could not be taken from him – the freedom to choose his attitude toward life, others and GOD.

Joseph's Focus. The most often used word in the life of Joseph is GOD (19x). As Joseph faced difficult circumstances He learned a valuable life lesson: It is not the circumstance, it is GOD in the circumstance!

Know the LORD. The answer to bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, malice (you name it) is a deep conviction with reference to the existence and nature of GOD, a deep confidence in GOD and faith in the GOD who can be trusted in all circumstances!

Looking Unto Jesus. If Jesus is not what you're focused on, what is? If Jesus is not enough, you will have to consider whether He is anything in your life. Cast the burden of bitterness upon Him, for He cares for you.

A Day in the Life of the Master

Song: Wonderful Love Of Jesus

Scripture: Matthew 9:18-26

Wouldn't it have been fine to have followed Jesus around for just one day to witness the lives and events He affected? There is so much to be learned from even one day in the life of Jesus.

Jesus had time. Jesus was constantly interrupted by people in distress like the synagogue official mourning his daughter or the lady afflicted with a hemorrhage for twelve years. Jesus made the most of such interruptions. You'll have interruptions today. Plan for them. Make the most of them. Have time for who matters—people.

Jesus knows. The woman with the flow of blood said, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." She said this to herself but Jesus heard her thoughts. He turned answering her,"Your faith has made you well." Jesus knows your faith. We who have not spoken face-to-face with Him are assured by this account that He knows even when no one seems to know how hard we're trying.

Jesus will be vindicated. Jesus saw the mass of mourners. He said, "The girl is only sleeping." He knew what was coming next. The people mocked. They were forthrightly dismissed from thehouse. Shortly afterwards a healthy girl emerged. Folks will mock and ridicule your faith but one day the Lord will vindicate His cause and His people.

Follow Jesus today. He has given you this day. He'll help you make the most of it.

Don't Be A Fool

Song: My Jesus, I Love Thee

Scripture: Proverbs 26:3-12

Being a fool has nothing to do with a man’s I.Q. It has everything to do with a man’s character. A man becomes a fool by being foolish. Solomon depicts him graphically.

The fool is undisciplined. You can correct the stubborn beast with a whip, but not the fool. He despises correction.

The fool is obnoxiously proud. React too quickly to his folly and you may repeat his error and give credence to his cause. Answer him not at all, and he’ll conclude that he alone has the answer.

The fool is undependable. The man who sends a message by him handicaps his own effectiveness and brings hazard to his own head.

The fool is oblivious to truth. He misses the point of a proverb as the drunk does a thorn in his own flesh. Correction and advice from his mouth are as limp to his hearers as the legs of a cripple.

The fool in power is a menace to society. The man who gives honor to a fool, hands him a loaded gun. It’s anybody’s guess where he’ll shoot.

The fool gets what no right thinking man wants—what he deserves. God promises the wages of his folly. For a proud man, there is hope that circumstances will teach him. But the fool is unteachable. Therein lies the rub. The fool repeats his folly. He never learns. Don’t be a fool.

My Shepherd

Song: Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us

Scripture: Psalm 23

The words of familiar passages are easily passed over if we’re not mindful. The preventative for such neglect is to revisit them afresh.

The Lord is Shepherd. He is my Shepherd. I have no need that will be left unsupplied. Some wants certainly, some pleasures assuredly. But needs, never. Trust Him today for all I need.

The Shepherd knows when and where it is safe to rest and what waters are safe to drink or to cross. He knows how much I can take and just what is needed to revive my strength. He knows the way, the right way. Follow His lead today.

The Shepherd knows the dangers that lurk about. He knows that the Devil is alive and well. He knows how dumb we sheep can be and what trouble we get ourselves into. He knows better than me the shadow of death. Stay close to Him today. He’s been here before and knows the way.

There will be wolves abroad today. Some behind trees. Some in sheep’s clothing. The Shepherd knows their disguises, their devices, their aims. He can take care of the enemy and the detractors better than me. He’ll not abandon me to their aims. Wait on Him today.

Today will be hard. And so will tomorrow. And the day after that. Concentrate on today. Stay with the Shepherd. Follow His lead. For one of these days will wind up eternity. And won’t that be just fine?
