TODAY'S VERSE

Job 36:26  "God is so great that we cannot begin to know Him. No one can begin to understand eternity." The Living Bible

GOD CHANGES OUR HEARTS

"Our relationships with fellow believers are not dependent upon external things but develop because of Jesus' love for us & our love for Him. In Acts 2:44-46, we find a special relationship among believers. 'And all who believed were together & had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions & belongings & distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.' Among these fellow believers, there was a willingness to share things. They looked out for each other both physically & spiritually. Equality existed because those in need received from those who had the ability to share. This love for others come from hearts changed by God." Steward Builders

RESULTS

"The message is gripping:  Show a man his failures without Jesus, & the result will be found in a roadside gutter. Give a man religion without reminding him of his filthy, & the result will be arrogance in a three-piece suit. But get the two in the same heart--get sin to meet Savior & Savior to meet sin--and the result just might be another Pharisee turned preacher who sets the world on fire." Max Lucado, Men's Devotional Bible
