VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.” (2 Peter 3:10)

Information as to the future in Scripture is generally very indistinct in arrangement, and though many attempts have been made to form a consistent scheme of prophecy, not one has been even moderately successful. There are in the word of God many clear testimonies as to distinct events in the future, but these cannot easily be arranged in order so as to harmonize with other events; neither will the most accurate observer, as I believe, ever make a consistent series of them so as to map them down. They are perfectly consistent and their order is divine, but we shall need the actual fulfillment to make the plan clear. So intricate is the architecture of future history that the Architect himself alone knows where this stone and that and the other are ordained to stand.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Rawas of Indonesia.

The Rawas value hard work and honesty. They are a wonderful people, but their morality will never bring them to God. They need to know the grace of Jesus.

Pray that the Rawas would hear the gospel for the first time.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Pursuing purity with the power of grace

We don’t need to hide in shame about ANY sin when God’s grace gives us so much hope. This includes sexual sins of any shape. Unfortunately, a lot of Christian women struggling with sexual sin isolate themselves out of fear.

A fantastic resource to help you (and your accountability partners!) is a new video course from Harvest USA called Transforming Love.

This FREE discipleship course will help you fight for purity by looking to God’s transforming grace.

This isn’t a shame-filled lecture about how dangerous sexual sin is — it’s a grace-based, hope-fueled study on how God’s transforming love is at work, even in the darkest parts of your life.

Here’s what you’ll find inside the course:

• Session 1: Jesus Knows You and Draws Near: Sexual Shame and the Gospel’s Invitation

• Session 2: Living Out of Our Hearts: A Biblical View of Behavior

• Session 3: Your Story and Suffering: The Impact of Living in a Painful World

• Session 4: Your Desires and Life Expectations: Understanding the Motivations Behind Your Sin

• Session 5: Beholding & Becoming: How the Gospel Brings Change

• Session 6: Next Steps for Your Journey: Getting Practical

All of this (plus a downloadable workbook to help you apply each session or discuss it with a group) — FOR FREE.

This is an important resource to help you find victory by grace in the race for holiness.

I can’t wait to hear how God uses it in your life!
