If you walk through a busy airport, you’ll see some people are casually moving toward their gate, but others are sprinting as fast as they can. Why? Because they’re running out of time – they don’t want to miss their flight. The lateness of the hour affects the action of their feet. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says we should show that same urgency when it comes to the return of Christ. Time’s running out, and we need to be about the Lord’s business until He arrives.

Listen to Today's Devotion Simply put, we are not good enough to go to heaven. So what can we do? We could start doing good deeds. Perhaps if we do enough good deeds, they’ll offset our bad deeds. The question then becomes how many good deeds? If I spend one year being greedy, how many years should I be generous? No one knows the answer to that question. A rule sheet can’t be found. A code has not been discovered. Why? Because God doesn’t operate this way. God has been so kind to us. We have no way of balancing the scales. All we can do is ask for mercy. And God, because of his kindness, gives it. God turned over our sins to his Son. Jesus Christ died for us. He did what we could not do so that we might become what we dare not dream—citizens of heaven!

Marty and his Great Puppy Adventure. That was the lunch time talk around our office when one of our team members became the proud owner of eight new puppies - thanks to his trusty dog, Sister. Each day seemed to bring a new episode; especially as Marty would compare the way of the puppy with the ways of people. He told us one day about trying to replenish their food. His intention was to load up their container with a lot of good things. But they really made it very difficult. See, the puppies were too busy fighting over two little pieces that were left in the corner. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Why Together is Better Than Turf." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 133:1, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity...it is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore." Do you get what God's saying here? "I've got so many good things I want to give you." Notice when He gives it, when we "live together in unity." I wonder how often God feels a little like my friend Marty did. He wanted to pour out good things for the puppies, "I want to, but they're all getting in the way. You're too busy fighting over a little piece for yourself." It happens in marriages. God wants to do some wonderful things in a couple, for a couple, but they're just focused on each defending their territory, getting their way in their marriage. God wants to bless some parents and children, but they're too busy staking out their ground, trying to again get their way. When people are just fighting for what they think are their rights, their way, the Lord just can't give them all He wants them to have. He responds to people working together, not working separately. He blesses peace and unity. He likes people looking out for each other, not looking out for themselves. This same preoccupation with "my stuff" limits God's blessing on ministries and on churches. Where Christian leaders are only concerned with their turf, their work, their needs, then the atmosphere there is stressful, self-centered, and even cold. If they only knew the power and the joy they could have with God's unhindered blessing on them. But they're living way below what could be because there isn't that unselfishness and

One of the pro-life movement’s most formidable and effective leaders quietly slipped into eternity at the age of one hundred. Her name was Geline Williams and was loved and respected by everyone who knew her, including supporters of abortion. I knew Geline while serving as a member of the board of directors of National Right to Life Committee. She represented the state of Virginia and served for many years as the Chairman of the Board. Geline was the epitome of a southern belle, while serving as mayor of Richmond, Virginia and on its city council. The mistake her opposition sometimes made was underestimating this gentile, always polite woman. She could be a fist in a velvet glove when the situation required. Geline, you were greatly admired and will be sorely missed.

The Lord's purpose is to bring us back from our alienated position to oneness with Him.

June’s eyes were fixed on the gray car beside her. She had to change lanes to exit the highway, but each time she tried to overtake it, the other driver seemed to speed up too. Finally, she managed to cut in front. Smug in her moment of triumph, June looked in the rearview mirror and smirked. At the same time, she noticed her destination exit passing her by. With a rueful smile, she recounted: “I was so fixated on overtaking that I missed my exit.” Such a slip can also happen in our desire to walk in God’s ways. When the religious leaders persecuted Jesus for not keeping the Jewish law (John 5:16), He warned that they’d become so fixated on studying and enforcing the law that they were missing the person the law pointed to: “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life” (vv. 39-40). In trying to be right before God, the religious leaders focused on following the Jewish law and making sure everyone else did too. Likewise, in our zeal for God, we may keep up with good things—church attendance, Bible study, charity work—and even get others to join us. But we can become so focused on them that we miss the person we’re doing them for—Jesus. In all we do, let’s ask God to help us fix our eyes on Christ (Hebrews 12:2). He alone is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

Blood is a marvel of design with many complex components. One example is serum albumin. Produced by the liver, serum albumin regulates blood volume and pressure, ensures proper blood chemistry, transports molecules and medications, and protects the body from protein digestion outside the digestive tract. As the Bible emphasizes the importance of blood for physical life, it also points to eternal life found through the sacrificial blood of Jesus.

This is Ken Ham, whose ministry has produced the family-friendly Answers Bible Curriculum. Many people think it must’ve taken millions of years for us to get the billions of fossils we have today. But the fossil record shows evidence of rapid burial. Jellyfish don’t have any hard parts, so they decay within hours—yet we have perfectly preserved jellyfish fossils. Here at the Creation Museum, we have a fossil of a fish eating another fish. It was buried so fast, it didn’t even have time to finish dinner! The Bible provides an explanation for these rapidly buried fossils. The global flood of Noah’s day would’ve ripped up miles of sediment and then laid it back down, rapidly burying creatures all over the world. Dig Deeper Do Fossils Show Signs of Rapid Burial? Fossil Jellyfish Greeted with Derision!

Anne shares about choices and living for God from Hebrews 11:6.
