Christian, these are important questions for us to ponder: When I talk, do people hear Jesus in my words? When I act, do people see Jesus in what I do?

“Bold-hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards.” —Charles Spurgeon
We seldom think about the steady beating of our heart until there is a problem that forces us to turn our attention. But studying the way the heart does its work is further proof of the genius of our Creator. This report notes, “The basic rhythm begins in the heart, but breathing, blood pressure, the body’s activity, and nerve signals can modify that rhythm moment by moment. In engineering terms, the heart is not running an open-loop command. It is doing the opposite: continually receiving information, comparing conditions, and adjusting its output. This gives the system a way to respond without neglecting its main function.”
“The riches that [Christians] have given them of God are inexhaustible. … There is no end of it. They have a fountain of infinite good for their comfort, and contentment, and joy; for God has given Himself to them to be their portion, and He is a God of infinite glory. There is glory in Him to engage their contemplation for ever and ever, without ever being satiated. And He is also an infinite fountain of love; for God is love, yea, an ocean of love without shore or bottom!” —Jonathan Edwards
Many who are skeptical of the Bible have dismissed it simply because it contains accounts of miracles. They have a pre-formed bias that won’t allow them to analyze the evidence. J. Warner Wallace, in this post about the Flood which is recorded in the Book of Genesis and mentioned throughout the entire Bible, wrote, “You don’t have to resolve every geological debate to take Genesis seriously. You do have to ask: Am I rejecting the flood because the evidence is weak—or because I’ve already decided miracles can’t happen?”
I love reading about archeological finds that verify the historicity of the biblical accounts. In this post, read about ten discoveries related to the time of Ezekiel’s prophecy while in Babylon.
“On November 9, 1572, [John Knox] ended his term as preacher at St. Giles’s cathedral in Edinburgh. He died a few days later, and it was said at his funeral that he ‘neither feared nor flattered any flesh.’” —J. Stephen Lang, in The Christian History Devotional
