You Must Decide
“When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well?’”
John 5:6
March 21, 2020
Ponder This
“Do you want to be made well?” That sounds like a silly question. It really does sound foolish to ask a man who is sick if he wants to be made whole. But Jesus respected this man’s will just as He respects your will and every human will.
If God were to transgress your will, if He were to force you to do something you did not want to do, you would no longer be a free human being with your own will. You would become a machine. So God gave you a will; and because you have a will, you must decide if you want to be made whole by accepting Him as your Savior. The offer made available to you today is whosoever will may come (Revelation 22:17). “Do you want to be made well?”
Practice This
What kind of faith does it take to have our lives transformed? Faith that can see the invisible, that can believe the incredible, that can receive the impossible. Doubt dreads to take a step, Faith soars on high. Doubt questions “Who believes?” Faith answers, “I!”

We are calling these messages “Church At Home.” We will continue to provide regular daily devotions, audio programs, and video programs, but we wanted to let you know about these special messages for this weekend.

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
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.’”
