Are You Rooted in God’s Word?
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Ponder This
The days in life are short. We need to know who we are, what we believe, and why we believe it. There are good answers to the questions that come up from the Bible and life, and we are to be ready to give an answer to those who ask about these things. It is so important that we see the Bible as the Word of God—the incontestable and incorruptible Word of God. We need to see it as the indestructible Word of God. We need to see it as the indispensable Word of God. There is so much in the world that could change radically and quickly if we had a generation of preachers, church leaders, and church members—anointed with the Holy Spirit and a heart full of love from a pure life—who would teach, “This is what God says.”
If this is going to happen, let it start in my heart. Let it start in your heart. Let it start in your church. Let’s stand up and speak up while God gives us a voice. Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us, and see if there be some wicked way in us (Psalm 139:23-24). Cleanse us from every sin and set us free to live lives that show who You are and that Your Word is truth.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
