  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

PSALM 66





16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.






THE CHRISTIAN'S CLARION CALL






Salvation from sin and having a relationship with God is truly the most amazing thing that can happen to anyone. I know that becoming a child of God on 15th, February, 1975 was the defining moment of my life, and I know that becoming a Christian is also the defining moment of many who are reading this devotion.






One of the reasons we are to tell (testify) what God has done for us among his people, is that it encourages them to press on. There is something about hearing how another person came to faith or how another believer is growing in grace. It is amazing to our souls to hear these (Testimonies)things.






We should always seek to encourage our fellow believers, by telling them, what blessings God has given us. We must share how God has opened up his word to us and spoken to us directly.






When was the last time you encouraged people in your church or an individual brother or sister in faith, by telling them, what God has done for your soul?






God has done so much for you.. share what He Has done for you.






Whilst you are about it.. tell the world, what He has done for your soul. Let the world know that Jesus has changed you life.




God bless you

PSALM 22




24 for he has not despised my cries of deep despair; he has not turned and walked away. When I cried to him, he heard and came.”






HE HEARS BECAUSE HE KNOWS OUR PAIN






This psalm is called the suffering servant psalm. It is probably the greatest prophecy about the death of our beloved Saviour.






Please read it and find all the prophecies about our Saviour.






What a verse we have in
verse 24.



Jesus is our high priest.. he is the one who completely understands whatever trial, we are going through. In the book of Hebrews chapter 2 and 4 we have these words:





14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;




15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.



16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.



17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.



18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.



14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.



15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.



16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.





What Jesus experienced throughout his life, He faced and overcame every single temptation that we will ever face, and through his death and resurrection, he defeated sin and death and its power forever.




Let us go back to our text in Psalm 22, when we cry out to Him, he hears. Believer cry out to God; he will hear you. Your high priest will not walk away, he will come to you.






He will do this, because he has been through everything you are going through.




What a wonderful assurance this is and should be to us.



Cry out believer.. Jesus hears and understands and he will come to you



God bless you



Keith
