Whose name is really extinct?
July 24, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Many centuries ago there was a Roman emperor named Diocletian who was known for his hatred of Christianity. He hated the Bible so much that he took a Bible and burned it. Then on top of that burned Bible he erected a monument.
Chiseled on that monument were these words:
“Extincto nomini christianorum” — “The name of Christian is extinct.”
Over the years many like Diocletian have sought to eradicate the Bible and Christianity, but for naught. The Bible is the incorruptible Word of God, and the foul breath of time and the gnawing tooth of decay cannot destroy the Word of God!
ACTION POINT:
Purchase a Bible this week for the sole purpose of giving it away. Then ask God to find that special someone for you to give it to.

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.’”
