WORD OF THE DAY - Friday 06 August 2010

Hot and dry here in Nikolaev - much the same as in many parts of Europe we hear. On my walk to the church meeting place yesterday, I noticed water trucks trying to save some of the beautiful bushes in the public park. Please continue to pray that God will lead me to one more soul who will be interested in learning about eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. So far, the various posters that I've been posting around the city have only produced one phone call that led to an appointment. That one turned out to be someone who had no knowledge whatsoever of English, and no interest in studying the Bible. In order to use the WEI course material, a person should know how to read some English. I have confidence that God will open another door of opportunity here in this part of Ukraine in the near future.

Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. (Acts 18:8)

Крисп же, начальник синагоги, уверовал в Господа со всем домом своим, и многие из Коринфян, слушая, уверовали и крестились. (Деяния 18:8 Russian
)
А Крисп, старший синагоги, увірував в Господа з усім домом своїм; і багато з коринтян, почувши, увірували й охристились. (Деяния 18:8 Ukrainian)

Dear God, our Merciful Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for the precious gift of life that radiates with your providential care on this new day. Give us confidence in the work of your Holy Spirit in bringing sinners to salvation as they hear the Spirit inspired message and come to faith. Give us wisdom to use every opportunity to teach one more soul the truth about Jesus, your One and Only Son and our Savior. Encourage teachers and preachers of the Gospel not to wriggle out of baptizing penitent believers into Christ since He commanded baptism and gave us His own example. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
