TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning”
(Lamentations 3:22–23, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Isn’t it good to know that no matter what happened yesterday, no matter what you said, no matter what you did, God’s mercy is new for you today? Mercy is empowering. It frees us to make the right choices and live in a way that is pleasing to God. We have to always remember that God is not condemning us. Romans tells us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. God wants to love us and equip us to overcome in this life.
Do you need new mercy today? Receive it by faith. You don’t have to beg God to forgive you. He forgives you the first time you ask, but it’s up to you to receive that forgiveness. Open your heart today and receive His mercy. Let Him wash over you with His peace and joy. Then choose to extend that mercy to others. Remember, you are God’s representative in the earth. As you show His love and character to others, He’ll pour out His blessing upon you and use you in ways you never dreamed!

A part of me is saddened for mankind, frustrated in considering all the folks generationally brainwashed from birth, indoctrinated from their first breath, and subsequently immersed in the propaganda of religion to the point where rational thought to the contrary becomes impossible, as their brains have created thousands, perhaps millions, of neural transmitter pathways all reinforcing the same faulty information as if it were scientific fact.
For those religiously afflicted, the misinformation permeates, thus contaminating, their entire cognitive decision making process, rendering true objective religious examination as well as many other mental explorations, unlikely at best.
Continues from #8……
Most will never escape the mental delusion of religious teaching and will typically fall into the category of those … not ready to be unplugged, as deviation from the implanted belief system pushes the victim into frightening mental territory most cannot fathom nor endure for long, given that most of the religious dogma conveniently stigmatizes non-belief with loss of favor with the appointed deity in a pure pavlovian response conditioning.
Not that those of us spared of such mental aberration have all the answers, but at least we’re free to scientically investigate for the truth, rather than attempt to divine it through a fog of mysticism, fable, and superstition.
Amen, and his name be praised forever.
