Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she began to sob. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.” —  Genesis 21:15-17 Miracles are central to both the Jewish and Christian faiths, and both biblical narratives are replete with miracles.

The Thief | Joni and Friends : The Thief By Joni Eareckson Tada | Published On: August 18, 2023 | Categories: Daily Devotional “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.” Ephesians 6:7-8 The iron gate clanged behind me. A flood of prison memories washed over me in my wheelchair. I smiled weakly at the guard who looked a little like the uniformed guard at my old state institution where I lived for two years. No, it wasn’t a prison. It was a rehab center. Oh, the irony. Here I was confined by my own set of bars, yet freewheeling. And these men were free to walk, yet confined behind bars. I had come to cut the ribbon at our Wheels for the World restoration center, where prisoners were refurbishing wheelchairs for our teams to deliver overseas to children and adults with disabilities. The inmates had seen the videos of children shut away in dark huts. Each chi

Day 228: How to Raise Your Game (Proverbs 20:5-14, 1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2-7:10) : Proverbs 20:5-14 5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,    but one who has insight draws them out. 6 Many claim to have unfailing love,    but a faithful person who can find? 7 The righteous lead blameless lives;    blessed are their children after them. 8 When a king sits on his throne to judge,    he winnows out all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;    I am clean and without sin”? 10 Differing weights and differing measures—    the Lord detests them both. 11 Even small children are known by their actions,    so is their conduct really pure and upright? 12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—    the Lord has made them both. 13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;    stay awake and you will have food to spare. 14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—    then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

GS Newsletter- August 15th, 2023 : Why The Cross Is The Answer - Part I by Gabriel Swaggart I Cor. 1:17 – “For the preaching of the Cross is to them who perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God” THE CROSS Some people often wonder, How is it that the Cross of Christ is the answer? They have heard us declare that the only means to have victory in one’s life is by and through the finished work of Christ and our faith in that great work. Still, they wonder to themselves or others, How could that be possible? It is possible for the following reasons: when Christ died upon the Cross, He atoned for all sin—past, present, and future—for all who would simply believe. This means that when the individual comes to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by simple faith that all of their sins have been atoned. This means that the Cross settled the sin debt that hung over mankind. This sin debt could not be assuaged by the means of self-effort or by the means of entitleme

A Place of Humility | International Fellowship of Christians and Jews : A Place of Humility Yael Eckstein  |  August 14, 2023 God shows Moses the Promised Land. Engraving by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld At that time I pleaded with the LORD. — Deuteronomy 3:23 Prayer in Judaism is defined as “the work of the heart,” which profoundly changes the nature of prayer from one of entreating God to an act that transforms who we are—not what God does. These devotions focus on different facets of prayer and what lessons we can learn about the power of our prayers. As a mother, I’m used to being asked for things, from ice cream and a new toy to just one more bedtime story. These pleas come from many different places. Sometimes, my children feel they deserve something and are asking with a sense of justice. Sometimes, they are jealous of their siblings and want me to make things fair. Sometimes, they know there is no justification, but they’re appealing to my sense of generosity. These types o
