Do these things embarrass you?
September 28, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Psalm 25:2
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Have you ever been in a conversation where the name of Jesus is brought up and somebody wants to change the subject? It’s just like switching channels on a TV. And some of them claim to be Christians. They don't want to carry a Bible in public. They're embarrassed to talk about the Lord. Some people get embarrassed in a restaurant if you bow your head and mention Jesus as you ask His blessing. They rub their eyebrows or forehead when you pray.
Have you ever asked yourself why they’re ashamed? I think it is because they don’t know what they’re missing in Jesus. You see, salvation is a wonderful gift. God sent His Son to die for us. He rose from the grave for us. He ascended into heaven for us. He’s coming again for us! How can we be ashamed of this?
ACTION POINT:
Next time you go to a restaurant, let your prayer of blessing turn into an evangelistic opportunity with your unsaved friend.

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.’”
