Share a Smile Today
from the messages of Adrian Rogers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Proverbs 15:13 - "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What is a smile? Here is something from an anonymous source: “A smile costs nothing, but creates much good. It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it away. It happens in a flash, but the memory of it can last forever. No one is so rich that he can get along without it. No one is too poor to feel rich when receiving it. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen.”

More Blessed To Give Than To Receive
from the messages of Adrian Rogers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Acts 20:35 - "...remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Unhappiness comes from mirrors. Happiness comes from windows. If you want to be miserable, then think about yourself first...what you want, what people are saying about you, what you ought to have done for you, how down you feel, how good you feel. Just focus on yourself. Feeling good yet? If you are, then something is wrong. Selfishness and happiness just don’t go hand in hand. If you are thinking it is better to receive than to give, you’ll never be happy. You’ll never experience the blessing of giving that Jesus taught.

The Sweetheart of Your Life
from the messages of Adrian Rogers
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Matthew 19:5 - "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Today’s message is for the men...If you don’t love your wife now more than you loved her when you got married, you probably love her a lot less. Sir, I want you to learn to flirt — but not with any other woman — just with the girl you married! Keep that flirtation going through all of your life. Never call the waitress “sweetheart.”  She’s not your sweetheart. You have only one sweetheart. Never call someone else “dear.” She’s not your dear. There is one who needs to know beyond a shadow of any doubt that she is your sweetheart, she is your darling, and she is number one. Develop that love and keep it growing.

 

Adrian Rogers Procrastination Is a Sin
from the messages of Adrian Rogers

 

James 4:17 - "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

Are you one of those people who believes “Put off until tomorrow what you could be doing today”? This is one of those times when the fingers pointing back at me outnumber the one that’s pointing to you! What am I talking about? Procrastination. Did you know that procrastination is a sin? I say that because sin is not merely doing wrong, it is failing to do what you ought to do. Procrastination and disobedience are just different shades of the same sin. I heard a quote once that said it well: “When you have a job to do, begin this very hour. You supply the will, God supplies the power.” That is the will power we need to instantly obey!

 

Adrian Rogers The Truth Shall Make You Free
from the messages of Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:
John 8:32 - "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Have you ever been to a circus and seen an elephant chained to a stake in the ground? Why doesn’t he break free? Because as a young elephant he was tied to a tree. And try as he could, he couldn’t break free. Now the thought is ingrained that he cannot break free. How true that is of you and me who have ingrained thought patterns in our lives. We say, “I am chained to this habit and I can’t break free.” Or we say, “I’m not good enough.” All kinds of lies keep us in bondage. But truth is what God says, not what we think.
