How Do You Break the Hardest Rock?
“…having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever…”
1 Peter 1:23

Ponder This
Do you know what the Bible says about itself? In Jeremiah 23:29, God asks, “Is not My word like a…hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” You can take the hardest rock and a sledgehammer and begin to tap. Eventually, the rock will break. Which tap breaks it, the last one or all of them?
There is power in the Word of God. You’ll never tell me there’s no power in the Word of God. I’ve preached it so long; I know there’s power in the Word of God. I have seen it change lives. I’m not talking about preachers’ little outlines and illustrations and all of that. I am talking about this Word of God, because of its inerrancy, its authority, and its vitality.
- What is the “rock” that needs breaking in your heart?
- How have you experienced the changing power of the Bible in your life?

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.’”
