We need to redeem the time as the passage in Ephesians 5 states BECAUSE the days are evil. It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word. My brother Norman and I are going to be setting up a ministry and under this ministry umbrella we will establish a YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgGuqrDZ3ku7C78qrb4eOyQ Tik-Tok short form video here tiktok.com/@genekissinger_rttbros https://linktr.ee/rttbros
CHURCH HISTORY 1 #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS #nightlightChurch History 1"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." - Romans 15:4 (KJV)In the tapestry of church history, we often forget that God has been faithfully working through His people in every generation. It's easy to believe that after the first century, the church fell into complete apostasy until the Reformation. However, as we delve deeper into church history, we discover a beautiful truth: in every century, God raised up faithful men and women who stood for the truth of the Gospel.Consider the example of Athanasius, a 4th-century bishop of Alexandria. During a time when the Arian heresy threatened to undermine the doctrine of Christ's deity, Athanasius stood firm. Despite facing exile five times over the course of his life, he tirelessly defended the biblical truth that Jesus is fully God. His unwavering stance and clear articulation of Trinitarian doctrine played a crucial role in preserving orthodox Christianity.This example from church history reminds us that God has always preserved a remnant who remained true to His Word, even in the face of severe opposition. When we feel discouraged by the state of the church or the world around us, we can take comfort in knowing that God has always been at work, even in the darkest times. He has never left His church without a witness.Let us be inspired by faithful predecessors like Athanasius and strive to be such witnesses in our own generation. May we, like them, stand firm in the faith, proclaim the truth of the Gospel, and trust in God's sovereign plan for His church throughout history.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
God's Monomaniac #RTTBROS #nightlightGod's Monomaniac "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." - 1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV)The Apostle Paul was a man consumed by one passion: sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. His single-minded focus on this mission is evident throughout his life and ministry. In the passage above, we see a glimpse of what it might have been like for the soldiers tasked with guarding Paul during his imprisonment.Imagine being chained to a man who talks incessantly about Jesus. Every waking moment, Paul likely took every opportunity to share the good news of salvation with those around him. For the soldiers, this may have been initially annoying or even frustrating. However, Paul's unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel message is a powerful example for us today.In a world filled with distractions and competing priorities, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Paul reminds us that our primary focus should always be on Jesus Christ and His sacrificial love for us. Like Paul, we are called to be "monomaniacs" for Christ, consumed by a singular passion for knowing Him and making Him known to others.This doesn't mean neglecting our earthly responsibilities or relationships, but rather viewing them through the lens of our devotion to Christ. When we fix our eyes on Jesus and make Him the center of our lives, everything else falls into place.May we, like Paul, be so captivated by the love of Christ that we cannot help but share it with those around us. Let us pray for the courage and boldness to proclaim the gospel, even in the face of opposition or adversity. And may we never lose sight of the one thing that truly matters: knowing Jesus Christ and Him crucified. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Impacting Lives #RTTBROS #nightlight"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" (Philippians 1:27, KJV)Our purpose as believers in this local community is to reflect the character and love of Jesus Christ. Even though many people around us may not personally know Jesus or have a relationship with God, they can come to understand Him through our lives. As Christians, we are called to live in a way that exemplifies Christ, serving as His representatives in the world.Consider the analogy of throwing a rock into a pond. The impact of the rock creates ripples that extend outward, far beyond the initial point of contact. Similarly, our lives have the power to create a ripple effect, influencing those around us and even reaching people we may never meet directly.You might feel like you are insignificant or that your life doesn't make a difference, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Every interaction, every act of kindness, and every display of Christlike character has the potential to impact lives for eternity. You never know how God might use a simple gesture, a word of encouragement, or a consistent example of faith to draw someone closer to Him.As you go about your daily life, remember that you are an ambassador for Christ. Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel, standing fast in unity with other believers and striving together for the faith. Whether others see you in person or hear about your life from a distance, let your testimony be one that points people to the transforming power and love of Jesus. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Protective Perimeter #RTTBROS #nightlight Protective Perimeter"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1, KJV)In the wild, animals like wildebeest and gazelle have a remarkable strategy for protecting themselves from predators. When threatened by lions, the herd will form a tight circle, with the young and vulnerable in the center. The strong adults face outward, ready to kick and fend off any attacking lions. It is the straggler who gets separated from the herd that is most likely to get picked off by the predators.This is a beautiful picture of how we as the church should surround and support one another. When we stand together in unity, we create a wall of protection, especially for those among us who are going through trials and hardships. We are called to "bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal 6:2, KJV) It brings great joy to the Lord when His people live in harmony and look out for each other. As it says in Psalm 133, it is "good and pleasant" when brothers and sisters in Christ dwell together as one. We draw strength from one another.So let us make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit. Stay connected to your church family. Surround the hurting with love and support. Recognize that there is power in standing and serving together. As we do, we will experience the goodness of the Lord as He blesses our fellowship and makes us a strong testimony of His love to the watching world.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Orienting Prayer #RTTBROS #nightlightOrienting Prayer 1. Protected by Prayer Verse: "Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me." (Psalm 25:1-2 KJV)When enemies and treacherous people surround us, our first response should be to seek God's protection through prayer. Like David, we can be real with God about the hatred and affliction we face. Triggers of anxiety are meant to launch us into prayer, unleashing God's peace to guard our hearts. As we pray, God grants us situational awareness to avoid the enemy's ambushes that hide in pleasant places. Prayer is a powerful tool for God's protection in this dangerous world.2. Piloted by God's PathsVerse: "Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." (Psalm 25:4-5 KJV) In prayer, we ask God to pilot us - to show us His ways, teach us His paths, and lead us in His truth. This waiting on God is not passive, but active - serving Him while expecting His guidance. Like a waiter attending to diners, we attentively wait on God all day long. As we pray for God's direction, the good and upright Lord teaches sinners His way and guides the humble in His paths of steadfast love and faithfulness.3. Pardoned by MercyVerse: "Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord." (Psalm 25:6-7 KJV)An awareness of our own sin should lead us to seek God's mercy and forgiveness in prayer. We don't pray based on our own goodness, but on God's grace and mercy. Like David, we can distinguish between sins of ignorance in our youth and willful sins of maturity, while still boldly asking for God's pardon for both. We pray confidently, not because we deserve it, but for the sake of God's own goodness. What amazing mercy that grants us what we could never earn!4. Provided with Prosperity Verse: "What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant." (Psalm 25:12-14 KJV)Beyond protection, guidance, and pardon, God's prayer promises include provision and prosperity. Those who fear the Lord receive His instruction and wisdom for life's decisions. Their souls will dwell in abundant wellbeing and their descendants will enjoy an inheritance. God shares intimate fellowship and secrets with those who revere Him, including revealing the blessings of His covenant. Prayer positions us to experience the fullness of God's rich provision.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Web Of Worry #RTTBROS #nightlightTitle: From Worry to Worship: Trusting God in PrayerVerse: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." - Philippians 4:6 (KJV)Devotion:As believers, we often find ourselves entangled in the web of worry, allowing our minds to be consumed by the cares and concerns of this world. However, God's Word reminds us that worry should not be our default response to life's challenges. Instead, it should serve as a powerful trigger, prompting us to turn to the Lord in prayer and trust Him with our burdens.When we find ourselves worrying about a situation, it's as if God is gently tapping us on the shoulder, saying, "My child, it's time to pray." Worry is not meant to be the starting line of a marathon of anxiety and fear. Rather, it should be the starting point of a journey into deeper faith and reliance on our Heavenly Father.The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, encourages us to "Be careful for nothing," which means not to be anxious or worried about anything. Instead, he urges us to bring every concern, every need, and every request to God in prayer, with a heart of thanksgiving. When we do this, we are actively choosing to transfer our worries from our own shoulders to the capable hands of our loving God.As we pray, we acknowledge that God is sovereign, and He is in control of every aspect of our lives. We can trust Him to work all things together for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28). By releasing our worries to Him, we open the door for His peace to guard our hearts and minds, transcending all understanding (Philippians 4:7).So, the next time you find yourself worrying, let it be a reminder to pause and pray. Turn your worries into prayers, your fears into faith, and your anxiety into adoration. As you trust God with your concerns, you will experience the joy and freedom that comes from casting your cares upon Him, knowing that He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).Remember, worry is not your destination; it is merely a signpost pointing you towards the throne of grace, where you can find help and strength in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Let worry be the catalyst that propels you into the loving arms of your Heavenly Father, who is always ready to listen, comfort, and guide you through life's challenges.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Morning Cometh #RTTBROS #nightlight#MorningGlory F.B MeyerTHE MORNING COMETH"And the evening and the morning were the first day."-- Gen 1:5.SIX TIMES these words are repeated, and the one lesson that rings out is that God counts His periods, not as man does from night to night, but from evening till morning. ' Not first the light, and after that the dark; but first the dark, and after that the light." God saw that each night would end in daylight, and that the end of all the nights and all the days would be the eternal day in which there can be no darkness at all. This is what St. John saw: "There shall be no night there, for the Lord God giveth them light" (Rev 22:5). The sun of materialism sets in a black ocean, unlit by the star of hope. But as long as God is, we believe that He will make a new heaven and new earth; and from out of what seems disappointing and hopeless He will bring a fairer creation than before. Creation shall participate in the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Watchman what of the night? The morning cometh! The darkness will finally pass away before the radiance of the dawn, and this because God is God; He is Love and Light and His Word creates.So it is with the individual. Life may be dark. Sin is darkness; sorrow is darkness; ignorance is darkness, and these three may be part of your daily lot. But the night is far spent, the day is at hand. For you the morning star is in the sky. The education of your soul is like that of a child at school. How hard and difficult those first days, but when the rudiments were mastered; when the discipline had played its part, then were reaped the harvests of sowing, and darkness was turned to day. Be of good cheer! Even in death there is nothing to fear. "That night they caught nothing; but when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore." The dark waves, as they break around the boat of your life, are bearing you onward to the morning meal upon the golden sands, where you will find that Love has gone before you with its preparations! It shall be evening and morning and lo! the day without night.PRAYERO God, the darkness and light are both alike to Thee, and the night shineth as the day. Help us to follow Thee even through the valley of the shadow, and to trust Thee whatever be our lot; until the day dawns, and the shadows flee away.

Pay Day Someday Soon #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS #nightlightTitle: The Inescapable Judgment: Are You Ready?"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" - Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)In today's world, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that our actions have no consequences. Many people, both within and outside the church, live as if they will never have to answer for their choices. However, the Bible clearly states that every single person will stand before God in judgment.As Christians, we must remember that even though our sins are forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we will still give an account for how we lived our lives. The Apostle Paul writes, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10, KJV).This truth should motivate us to live each day with the understanding that God sees everything we do. It's not about living in fear, but rather living in reverence and obedience to our Heavenly Father. When we keep this eternal perspective, it helps us make better choices and prioritize our relationship with God.For those who have not accepted Christ as their Savior, the reality of judgment should serve as a wake-up call. The Bible warns, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15, KJV). The good news is that it's not too late to turn to Jesus and accept His gift of salvation.As the church, we must boldly proclaim the truth of God's Word, even if it may be uncomfortable at times. Our nation desperately needs revival, and it starts with each of us humbling ourselves before God and seeking His will for our lives.Let us live each day with the knowledge that we will one day stand before our Lord in judgment. May this truth inspire us to live faithfully, share the Gospel, and make the most of every opportunity to serve Him.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Trust in the Lord #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV)As believers, we often find ourselves in situations where we struggle to comprehend God's plan for our lives. We desperately seek understanding, trying to make sense of the challenges and obstacles we face. However, God's Word reminds us that our understanding is limited, and it is not always necessary for us to fully grasp His ways.In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are given a profound instruction: trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. This means that we are called to place our complete faith and confidence in God, even when our circumstances seem confusing or overwhelming.Trusting God requires us to acknowledge Him in all our ways. This means recognizing His sovereignty and seeking His guidance in every aspect of our lives. When we surrender our plans and desires to Him, He promises to direct our paths. God sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us, even when we cannot see it ourselves.It is important to remember that trusting God does not mean we will always understand His ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (KJV)Our limited human perspective cannot fully comprehend the infinite wisdom of God. However, we can find peace and comfort in knowing that He is in control and has our best interests at heart. When we trust Him wholeheartedly, we can face life's challenges with confidence, knowing that He will guide us and provide for us every step of the way.In conclusion, let us choose to trust in the Lord with all our heart, even when we do not understand His plans. Let us acknowledge Him in all our ways and allow Him to direct our paths. As we place our faith in Him, we will experience the peace and assurance that comes from walking in obedience to His will.Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us to trust in You with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. Give us the strength to acknowledge You in all our ways and to surrender our plans to Your perfect will. When we face uncertainty and confusion, remind us that Your thoughts and ways are higher than ours. Grant us the faith to trust You wholeheartedly, knowing that You will direct our paths. In Jesus' name, Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The World Can't Comprehend Truth #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS #nightlight"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2 Thessalonians 2:10, KJV)Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,In a world that increasingly rejects and suppresses God's truth, we as Christians must stand firm on the solid foundation of Scripture. While each generation drifts further from the Judeo-Christian values that once undergirded much of society, we are called to be a shining light amidst the darkness. The Apostle Paul warns in Romans 1:18 that the ungodly actively suppress the truth in unrighteousness. They reject the light of the gospel because it exposes their sin. In their hearts, they know right from wrong, but they refuse to submit to the God of the universe and instead remain in rebellion against Him.As believers anchored in God's Word, we have the privilege and responsibility to proclaim the truth to a lost world. While the cultural Christianity of previous decades fades away, the line between light and darkness, truth and deception, is becoming clearer. This gives us the opportunity to present the gospel message in stark contrast to the false philosophies and beliefs of our time.Let us remember that we are all prophets, in a sense - we all proclaim things to be true. As Christians, we must be careful to always prophesy truth by basing our words and judgments on Scripture. God's Word is just as applicable and transformative today as it has been for the past 2,000 years.May we commit ourselves to studying, obeying and sharing the truth of God's Word. Let us be a beacon of hope, drawing the lost out of darkness and into the glorious light of Christ.In Jesus' name,Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Ladder Of Hope #RTTBROS #nightlightThe Ladder of Hope"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." (Genesis 28:12, KJV)In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, it is easy to feel alone and forgotten. Like Jacob, we may find ourselves in a place of despair, fleeing from our past mistakes and uncertain of our future. Yet, even in our darkest moments, God is with us, offering a ladder of hope that reaches from earth to heaven.Jacob's story reminds us that no matter how far we may have strayed, God's grace is sufficient to bring us back to Him. "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10, KJV) Just as God met Jacob in his time of need, He is ready and willing to meet us in ours.The ladder in Jacob's dream represents the connection between heaven and earth, a bridge that God has provided for us through His Son, Jesus Christ. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6, KJV) It is through Christ that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life.As we journey through life, we will face challenges and obstacles that threaten to overwhelm us. But like Jacob, we can find strength and comfort in the presence of God. "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10, KJV)The angels ascending and descending on the ladder serve as a reminder that God is constantly watching over us, sending His messengers to guide and protect us. "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." (Psalm 91:11, KJV) We are never alone, for God is always with us.When we find ourselves in a place of darkness and despair, we must remember to turn to God in worship and dedication. "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24, KJV) Like Jacob, we can transform our trials into altars of praise, acknowledging God's sovereignty and faithfulness in our lives.The morning of dedication marks the beginning of Jacob's transformation, a journey that will lead him from a deceiver to the Prince of Israel. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV) No matter our past, God can redeem and transform us into the men and women He has called us to be.As we face the challenges and uncertainties of life, let us hold fast to the ladder of hope that God has provided. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)" (Hebrews 10:23, KJV) Let us trust in His unfailing love and grace, knowing that He is working all things together for our good and His glory.In the end, we can rest assured that God is weaving the tapestry of our lives according to His perfect plan. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29:11, KJV) Though the dark threads may be as necessary as the threads of gold and silver, we can trust that the final pattern will be one of beauty and purpose.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Unshakable Foundation #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS #nightlightTitle: The Unshakable Foundation of TruthVerse: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." - John 17:17 (KJV)In a world where the very concept of truth seems to be crumbling, it is more important than ever for us as Christians to stand firmly upon the unshakable foundation of God's Word. As Norman Kissinger from Redeeming the Time Brothers Ministries points out, there is a dire lack of truth in our culture today. People have strayed so far from the ultimate truth found in Scripture that they can no longer discern even basic realities of the natural world around them.However, as believers, we have access to the source of all truth: God Himself. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all described as being truth in the Bible. Jesus, in His high priestly prayer, entreats the Father to sanctify us through His truth, which is His Word.This sanctification process is essential for our spiritual growth and maturity. We cannot become more like Christ without being grounded in the truth of Scripture. It is through studying, meditating upon, and applying God's Word to our lives that we are transformed and set apart for His purposes.Sadly, many Christians today are Biblically illiterate. We must take responsibility for diving deep into the riches of God's Word, allowing it to shape our worldview and guide our actions. As we approach God in honesty about our sins and shortcomings, He will faithfully lead us into all truth through His Spirit.In these turbulent times, let us cling to the timeless, unshakable truth found in Scripture. May we be diligent in our study of God's Word, allowing it to sanctify us and conform us to the image of Christ. As we stand upon the firm foundation of Biblical truth, we will be equipped to navigate the challenges and deceptions of this world with wisdom and discernment.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Nice Or NEW #RTTBROS #nightlightNice or NEW2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV - 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.C. S. Lewis on Being a "NICE Person" vs. Being a "NEW Person"-----God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man.It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature...But there may be a period, while the wings are just beginning to grow... and at that stage the lumps on the shoulders - no one could tell be looking at them that they are going to be wings - may even give it an awkward appearance. - C.

Precieced Lack #RTTBROS #nightlightThe Deception of Perceived Lack Amid God's Abundance "And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:8-9)In the garden of Eden, God provided Adam and Eve with an abundance of blessings. They lived in a perfect paradise, surrounded by beauty and provisioned with everything they needed. Yet despite dwelling in the midst of God's generous abundance, they became fixated on the one tree God had instructed them not to eat from. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil stood at the very center of the garden. Adam and Eve had to walk past all the good trees God gave them in order to reach this tree of perceived lack. Rather than gratefully partaking in God's bountiful provision, they chose to focus on the one limitation. Deceived by the serpent, Eve "took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6)How often do we make the same mistake as Adam and Eve, focusing on perceived lack rather than on the abundance of blessings God has given us? We must guard against the temptation to always yearn for the things we don't have, thus missing out on gratefully enjoying the many good things we do have. As Paul reminds us, "godliness with contentment is great gain." (1 Timothy 6:6) Let us keep our eyes fixed on God's gracious provision rather than becoming ensnared by deceptive perceptions of lack. For if we delight ourselves in the Lord and the abundance He provides, God promises He will give us the desires of our heart.

The Foundation Of Truth #RTTBROS #nightlight #normankissinger #NK The Foundation of Truth "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." - John 17:17 (KJV)In a world where the concept of absolute truth is increasingly dismissed, we find ourselves adrift in a sea of relativism. Norman Kissinger from Redeeming the Time Brothers Ministries brings to light a cultural phenomenon that has permeated our society: the rejection of truth. This denial has not only affected the spiritual realm but has led to a broader cultural collapse, where even basic realities are questioned.The Bible, however, stands as a beacon of truth in a world of shadows. John 14:6 (KJV) declares, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This profound statement encapsulates the essence of our faith—Jesus Christ is the embodiment of truth, and through Him, we gain access to the Father.As Christians, we are called to embrace this truth wholeheartedly. It is not enough to delve into the depths of God's Word; we must also grasp its basics. The average believer's illiteracy in Scripture has led to ineffective Christian living. We must return to the fundamentals, for it is there that our foundation is solidified.John 1:14 (KJV) reveals, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."The law, given through Moses, was a precursor to the ultimate revelation of grace and truth through Jesus Christ (John 1:17). To serve God is to serve Him in truth, acknowledging our sinful nature and need for a Savior.Salvation hinges on the acceptance of truth—the sinlessness of Christ, His atoning sacrifice, and His ability to save. Denial of these truths renders salvation impossible. As bearers of truth, we reflect Christ's character, becoming more like Him in thought, word, and deed.Let us, therefore, seek the Lord in prayer, asking Him to reveal the truth within us, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. For in acknowledging our flaws, we also recognize our need for His grace. As we grow in truth, we grow in Christlikeness, becoming beacons of truth in a world that desperately needs it.May this week be one of reflection and growth as you delve into the truth of God's Word. May you be blessed and become a blessing to others as you live out the truth of Jesus Christ in your life.Prayer:Heavenly Father, sanctify us through Your truth. Your Word is the truth that guides us, the light that illuminates our path. Help us to embrace Your truth, to live it out daily, and to share it with a world in need. In Jesus' name, Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Serve With Truth #RTTBROS #nightlight #normankissinger #NK "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6, KJV)Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,As believers, the foundation of our faith is the truth that comes from God Himself. We serve a God of truth, whose Word is true and guides us through life. As the Lord Jesus declared in John 14:6, He is the embodiment of truth. In Joshua 24:14, we are exhorted to "fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth." This has profound implications for how we live out our faith. First, our motives must be pure as we serve God. We cannot put on a facade of religiosity while harboring wrong intentions in our hearts. God sees through any pretense. Our service to Him must flow from a sincere desire to please Him and do His will. Second, the message we proclaim must be faithful to God's Word. As ministers of the gospel, we have a solemn responsibility to "rightly divide the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV). We dare not twist Scripture to suit our own agenda or tickle people's ears. Even if we speak with great eloquence or perform mighty works, it profits nothing if we do not stay true to the Word.In these times, much of what passes for Christianity is a far cry from biblical truth. Motives are impure and doctrine is compromised. May this never be said of us! Let us pray that God will purify our hearts and fill us afresh with His Spirit, that we may serve Him in both sincerity and truth. Only then will our lives and ministries be pleasing to Him.Your fellow servant in Christ,Norman Kissinger https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
How Can We Be Holy #RTTBROS #Nightlight 1 Peter 2:9** - "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"How can we be Holy? Think of God's holiness as a bright, perfect light that never dims or fades. It's always pure and good, making everything around it look better. That's how God is—always perfect, loving, and pure!Now imagine yourself as a colorful piece of glass. When God's light shines through you, it makes your colors even brighter and more beautiful. That's what happens when you choose to follow God and be like Him—His holiness helps you shine brighter and be more beautiful too.But sometimes we do things that make our glass a bit dirty or cloudy, making it harder for God's light to shine through us. That's when we need to ask God for forgiveness and help to become more like Him again.So, our holiness is like letting God's light shine through us, making us more beautiful and good, just like Him!To avoid legalism and keep your pursuit of holiness relational, remember these points:1. Focus on Jesus and becoming more like Him, rather than just following rules.2. Emphasize the role of God's grace in enabling us to become holy.3. Seek to understand God's heart and why He wants us to be holy—because He loves us and desires intimacy with us.4. Be honest about your struggles, asking for forgiveness when you make mistakes, and remember that holiness is a lifelong journey.Let me emphasize that holiness is a loving response to God's grace, not a way to earn His approval. It's about deepening our relationship with God and allowing Him to transform us from withinhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Unshakable Foundation Deut 32:4 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Unshakable Foundation of God's Truth"He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." (Deuteronomy 32:4, KJV)In a world where the very concept of truth seems to be crumbling, it's crucial for believers to anchor their lives upon the solid foundation of God's unchanging truth. As Moses declares in his song, our God is a "God of truth," and this fundamental attribute sets Him apart from the lies and deception of the enemy.The battle we face is not merely against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to obscure and distort the truth. By manipulating what people perceive as truth, the enemy can control their actions and lead them astray. As Christians, we must stand firm on the revelation of God's Word, trusting in its validity and sufficiency for every aspect of life.The Psalmist echoes this confidence in God's truth, proclaiming, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth" (Psalm 31:5, KJV). In times of uncertainty and turmoil, we can entrust our very lives into the hands of the God who cannot lie. His Word becomes our anchor, providing wisdom, guidance, and stability when everything else seems to be falling apart.As we navigate the challenges and decisions of life, let us remember that we serve a God of truth. May this knowledge strengthen our faith, shape our worldview, and empower us to live as uncompromising witnesses for Christ. In a culture of confusion, may we be unwavering beacons of God's eternal truth.Prayer: Almighty God, I thank You that You are the God of truth. When the world around me seems to be in chaos, I choose to anchor my life upon the solid rock of Your Word. Give me discernment to recognize and resist the lies of the enemy, and grant me boldness to proclaim Your truth in a world that desperately needs it. In Jesus' name, Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
THE Cure For Spiritual Anxiety #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #NormankissingerThe cure for spiritual anxiety #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #Normankissinge "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7, KJV)Anxiety is something that plagues many Christians today. The stresses and cares of life can often feel overwhelming, causing us to worry and fret. But as children of God, we are called to trust Him fully, casting all our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).The Apostle Paul, who faced immense trials and hardships, exhorts us in Philippians to "Be careful for nothing" - in other words, do not be anxious about anything. Instead, we are to bring everything to God in prayer, with thanksgiving. This is not always easy to do. When faced with dire circumstances, our natural inclination is often to worry. But Paul is clear - the antidote to anxiety is prayer. By humbling ourselves before God, acknowledging our neediness and dependence on Him, and expressing gratitude for His goodness and faithfulness, we open the way for His supernatural peace to guard our hearts and minds.This peace "passeth all understanding." It transcends our circumstances and human reasoning. It is not the absence of problems, but a deep, abiding sense of God's presence and sovereignty in the midst of them. It provides stability, security and soundness of mind, even in life's storms.Achieving this peace starts with having a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. It grows as we cultivate that relationship through regular prayer and thanksgiving. While anxiety may still come, as we consistently bring our requests to Him, we will increasingly experience His peace.Whatever you are facing today, bring it to the Lord in prayer. Thank Him in advance for how He will undertake. Entrust yourself and your circumstances to His loving care. And let His perfect peace be your portion. May you find blessed rest and freedom from anxiety as you abide in Him.
All Sufficient Grace 2 Cor. 12:9 #RTTBROS #Nightlight All Sufficient Grace"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)In this passage, the Apostle Paul speaks of a profound truth: God's grace is all we need to overcome our struggles and weaknesses. Despite the many trials and tribulations Paul faced, he found comfort and strength in the knowledge that God's grace was sufficient for him.Just as Paul experienced hardships, we too may face thorns in our flesh - physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges that seem overwhelming at times. These trials can leave us feeling weak, helpless, and alone. However, it is in these moments of weakness that we can truly experience the power of God's all-sufficient grace.When we humble ourselves and acknowledge our need for God's help, His strength is made perfect in our weakness. It is not through our own abilities or merits that we overcome, but through the power of Christ working within us. This realization should lead us to a place of gratitude and humility, as we recognize that every victory is a testament to God's grace.Moreover, as we navigate the difficulties of life, we can find solace in the fact that we are not alone. Just as the church in Corinth rallied around Paul, we too have a community of believers who can offer prayer, encouragement, and practical support. By bearing one another's burdens and sharing in each other's joys, we demonstrate the love of Christ and experience the beauty of His all-sufficient grace.In times of weakness, let us not despair, but rather embrace the opportunity to witness God's power at work in our lives. As we lean on His grace, we will find the strength to persevere and the courage to face each new challenge with faith and hope.Remember, God's grace is not dependent on our performance or worthiness. It is a free gift, given to us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. When we place our trust in Him, we can rest assured that His grace will carry us through every trial and every victory.So, let us rejoice in our weaknesses, knowing that they provide an opportunity for God's strength to shine through. May we, like Paul, gladly glory in our infirmities, so that the power of Christ may rest upon us and His all-sufficient grace may be made evident to all.As we go forth, let us cling to the promise found in 2 Corinthians 12:9, confident that God's grace is indeed sufficient for us, no matter what challenges we may face. May we find comfort, strength, and hope in the all-sufficient grace of our loving Heavenly Father.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Anxiety Epidemic #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #NormankissingerBible Verse:"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)Devotion:In today's fast-paced and often uncertain world, anxiety has become a prevalent issue for many people. As Christians, we must understand that while anxiety can stem from various sources, such as physical problems or spiritual attacks, it is often related to our relationship with God.The Psalmist in Psalm 139:23-24 invites God to search his heart, revealing any wickedness or anxiety within. This passage suggests that anxiety may be linked to our position in relation to God. When we fail to humble ourselves, repent of our rebellious hearts, and seek God's love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, we may experience heightened levels of anxiety.As human beings, we often attempt to play God and solve our own problems. However, this prideful approach only leads to more anxiety, as we realize our inability to control every aspect of our lives. True peace comes from surrendering ourselves wholly to God and trusting in His divine plan.In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul encourages us to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (KJV)By anchoring ourselves in God's truth and seeking Him through prayer, we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. Christian counseling plays a vital role in helping individuals navigate anxiety by guiding them back to the truth found in God's Word.As you reflect on your own life, ask God to search your heart and reveal any areas where you may not be fully trusting in Him. While not all anxiety is a result of a lack of faith, it can often serve as a thermometer, indicating areas where we need to surrender more fully to God.Remember, God loves you and desires to lead you in the way everlasting. By drawing closer to Him and allowing His truth to guide your life, you can experience the peace and comfort that only He can provide.
I Am On My Way. Heb 9:27 #RTTBROS #Nightlight I Am On My Way"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27, KJV)Recently, a friend on Facebook gave a creative writing assignment to take the last text message sent and turn it into a sermon. My last text simply said, "I am on my way." This got me thinking about our journey through life and our ultimate destination. Let's turn to the Word of God for wisdom."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27, KJV)Death is an inevitable part of the human experience. It comes to us all, often suddenly and without warning. As the author of Hebrews solemnly reminds us, "it is appointed unto men once to die." We cannot escape this fate.Yet for the believer in Christ, death is not the end. It is merely a departure from this earthly life as we journey swiftly home to be with our Lord and Savior. Paul tells us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). Though we grieve the loss of loved ones, we do not grieve as those who have no hope, for we know we will be reunited again.In the final chapter of God's Word, Jesus gives us this blessed assurance: "Surely I come quickly" (Revelation 22:20, KJV). In response, we cry out with the apostle John, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." What hope and comfort this gives us! Our Savior is on His way to bring us into His glorious presence forevermore.So let us live with heaven in view, eagerly awaiting that day, and seeking to bring others with us. As you go about your day today, take heart that for the believer, the best is yet to come. Jesus is on His way - look up, for your redemption draws near! Let us be found faithfully serving Him. Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Cussing Cat Phippians 2:14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Cat-astrophic Consequence of ComplainingBible Verse: "Do all things without murmurings and disputings:" - Philippians 2:14 (KJV)Devotion:Our feline friend's incessant complaining about his dinner bowl not being filled to the brim, even when it's not empty, reminds us of how we often behave in our own lives. Just like the cat who disrupts the entire household's sleep, we too can fall into the trap of focusing on what we lack rather than being grateful for what we already have.The Bible warns us against this behavior in Philippians 2:14 (KJV), urging us to "Do all things without murmurings and disputings." When we constantly complain, we not only rob ourselves of joy and contentment but also strain our relationships with others.Just as the cat's habit of complaining has led to him being moved outside, our own complaining spirit can cost us dearly. It can push away those closest to us and hinder our personal growth. We must recognize that true happiness and a life of constant complaints cannot coexist.Take a moment to reflect on the genuinely happy people in your life. You'll likely find that none of them are chronic complainers. They choose to focus on the blessings they have rather than dwelling on what they lack.As Christians, we are called to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and contentment. When we shift our perspective from what we don't have to what God has already provided, we open the door to true joy and peace.Let us learn from the cat's mistakes and strive to break free from the habit of complaining. Instead, let us fill our hearts with thanksgiving and trust in God's provision. By doing so, we can experience the abundant life that Christ has promised us.Prayer:Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times I have allowed a spirit of complaining to take root in my heart. Help me to focus on the blessings You have bestowed upon me and cultivate a heart of gratitude. May I do all things without murmurings and disputings, finding joy and contentment in You alone.

The Power Of Words Pro. 18:21 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Power of Words"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Proverbs 18:21, KJV)Our words hold immense power, not only when we speak to others but also when we engage in self-talk. The Bible reminds us that our tongue has the ability to bring forth both death and life. The words we use to frame our thoughts and experiences can significantly impact our perception and, consequently, our lives.Illustration 1:Consider a student who consistently tells herself, "I am not good at math. I will never understand these concepts." By repeating these negative phrases, she reinforces a belief that hinders her progress. However, if she changes her self-talk to, "I am constantly learning and improving in math. With practice and perseverance, I will grasp these concepts," she shifts her mindset to one of growth and possibility. This simple change in language can alter her approach to studying and ultimately lead to better performance.Illustration 2:Imagine a person who often says, "I have to go to work today." This phrase carries a sense of burden and obligation. Now, consider the difference when the same person says, "I get to go to work today." Suddenly, the focus shifts to gratitude and opportunity. By recognizing that having a job is a privilege, the individual's experience of work becomes more positive and fulfilling. The circumstances remain the same, but the language used to describe them transforms the person's outlook.As we navigate through life, let us be mindful of the words we use in our self-talk. Let us choose phrases that uplift, encourage, and inspire us to see the best in ourselves and our situations. When we encounter challenges, let us speak life over them, declaring, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13, KJV). By aligning our words with faith and positivity, we open ourselves to experience the abundant life God has intended for us.Remember, our words are not merely empty sounds; they carry the power to shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions. As we consciously guide our self-talk, we will witness a transformation in our lives. We will find ourselves approaching obstacles with courage, embracing opportunities with enthusiasm, and living each day with a greater sense of purpose and joy.So, let us heed the wisdom of Proverbs and use our words to speak life over ourselves and others. May our self-talk be a fountain of encouragement, faith, and love, guiding us closer to the path God has ordained for us. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
CHICKEN ON A JUNE BUG Pr. 6:6-9#RTTBROS #Nightlight Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Pr. 6:6-9In the old days, folks had a saying for just about every situation, and one that always stuck with me is "Jump on something like a chicken on a June bug." Now, you might be wondering what in the world that means, but bear with me, and I'll explain.You see, when a chicken spots a juicy June bug, it doesn't just sit there and wait for someone else to come along and catch it. No sir! That chicken jumps into action, chasing down that bug with all the enthusiasm and determination it can muster. It knows that if it wants to enjoy the tasty treat, it has to act fast and get the job done.The same principle applies to our lives, especially when it comes to taking care of our homes. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 31:27, "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." This verse reminds us that it's our responsibility to tend to the tasks and chores that keep our homes running smoothly.When we see something that needs doing around the house, whether it's fixing a leaky faucet, mowing the lawn, or cleaning out the gutters, we shouldn't wait for someone else to take care of it. We should jump on it like a chicken on a June bug, tackling the task with energy and resolve.By taking initiative and being proactive in our household duties, we demonstrate our love and care for the home God has blessed us with. We also set a positive example for our family members, showing them the value of hard work and responsibility.So, the next time you spot a chore that needs tending to, remember the old saying and jump on it like a chicken on a June bug. Your home will thank you, and you'll be living out the wisdom of Proverbs 31:27.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Abide In Truth #RTTBROS #Nightlight Abide in Truth: The Key to Freedom"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:31-32 (KJV)In a world where the concept of truth seems to be eroding, Jesus' words in John 8:31-32 serve as a beacon of hope and a call to anchor ourselves in His unchanging truth. As believers, we must recognize that the emotional instability and mental illness pervading our society today can be traced, in part, to a failure to abide in God's Word.When we embrace the lie that truth is subjective and that everyone has their own version of it, we set ourselves adrift in a sea of confusion and self-delusion. We see the consequences all around us – people unable to cope with reality, rejecting truth in favor of their own misguided perceptions.Yet, as Jesus reminds us, it is only by continuing in His Word that we can be His disciples and experience true freedom. The Bible, as the infallible Word of God, serves as our ultimate authority and arbiter of truth. When we align our lives with its principles and guidelines, we find stability, clarity, and purpose.The truth is that we are all sinners in need of a Savior. No amount of self-justification or denial can change this fundamental reality. However, when we humbly acknowledge our sinfulness and turn to Christ for forgiveness and transformation, we begin the journey of walking in truth.As ministers of the gospel, it is our sacred duty to proclaim the truth of God's Word, even when it runs counter to the prevailing cultural narrative. We must lovingly confront the lies and deceptions that hold people captive, pointing them to the liberating power of Christ.In a world that increasingly rejects absolute truth, we may be viewed as foolish or even crazy. Yet, as we stand firm on the solid foundation of God's Word, we become beacons of sanity and hope, drawing others to the truth that sets them free.So let us commit ourselves to abiding in Christ's Word, allowing it to shape our thoughts, actions, and perceptions. As we do, we will experience the freedom and stability that comes from knowing and living out the truth. May we be a people who, in the midst of a truth-starved world, boldly proclaim, "Thy word is truth" (John 17:17, KJV).https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Harvest Gal 6:7 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7 (KJV)The law of unintended consequences is a powerful principle that applies to every aspect of our lives, including our spiritual journey. As believers, we are saved by God's grace and forgiven of every sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. However, this does not exempt us from the consequences of our choices, particularly those that are sinful.The Bible teaches us that we will reap what we sow. If a farmer plants corn, he cannot expect to harvest watermelons. Similarly, if we sow seeds of sin in our lives, we cannot expect to reap a harvest of blessing and peace. In fact, we will reap more than we sow, and the harvest will come later than the planting.This principle is not meant to discourage us but to encourage us to walk circumspectly, carefully considering our choices and their potential consequences. We must strive to avoid sinful decisions that can lead to a horrible harvest of pain, regret, and brokenness.Instead, let us sow seeds of righteousness, love, and obedience to God's Word. By doing so, we can trust that God will bless us with a bountiful harvest of joy, peace, and purpose. As we navigate life's challenges and temptations, may we always remember that our choices matter and that God's grace empowers us to live a life that honors Him.In conclusion, while we are saved by grace, we must not ignore the law of unintended consequences. Let us walk wisely, sowing seeds that will yield a harvest of blessing, and trusting in God's love and guidance every step of the way.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Not Offended Ps. 119:165 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Not Offended"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." - Psalm 119:165 (KJV)In life, we often face situations that have the potential to offend us. However, being offended is a choice we make based on the stories we tell ourselves about the events that happen to us. The Bible provides us with examples of individuals who chose not to be offended, even in the face of adversity.Consider the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. Despite being sold into slavery by his own brothers and facing numerous challenges, Joseph chose not to be offended. When he was reunited with his brothers years later, he told them, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." (Genesis 50:20, KJV)In contrast, Job, another Old Testament saint, lamented, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." (Job 14:1, KJV) While Job faced immense suffering, he ultimately recognized God's sovereignty and chose not to be offended by his circumstances.As believers, we have the power to choose our response to the events in our lives. When we trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, we can find peace and avoid being easily offended.Key takeaways:Being offended is a choice we make based on our perspective and the stories we tell ourselves.We can choose to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even in the face of adversity.Not being easily offended leads to greater peace and the ability to see God's hand at work in our lives.By embracing these truths, we can experience the benefits of not being offended, including increased peace, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of God's plan for our lives.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Staff #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Staff in Our HandsExodus 4:2 (KJV) - "And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod." lets reflect upon the simplicity of Moses' staff. It was an ordinary shepherd's tool, yet chosen by God to perform extraordinary feats. This staff, when cast down before Pharaoh, became a serpent; when lifted, it parted the Red Sea. It was a symbol of God's power working through what Moses already had in his hand.As we meditate on this passage, let us consider our own 'staffs'—the talents, resources, and opportunities God has placed within our grasp. Often, we overlook the potential of what we already possess, seeking grand solutions while ignoring the humble instruments God has provided.Psalms 90:17 (KJV) "And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it." Pray that the Lord blesses and establishes the work of your hands. May He guide you to use your abilities and resources for His glory and the betterment of those around you.Isaiah 41:13 (KJV) "For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee." Take comfort in knowing that God is holding your hand, leading you through every challenge. Trust that with His help, you can use what is at hand to overcome any obstacle.Prayer:Heavenly Father, we thank You for reminding us that You can use the ordinary to manifest the extraordinary. Help us to see the value in what we have and to use it wisely. May we trust in Your provision and guidance, knowing that with You, all things are possible. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Trauma Transformation Rom 12:1-2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Trauma Transformation Romans 12:1-2"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."Change, though often traumatic, is a necessary part of life. Just as the bullfrog and butterfly must endure the trauma of transformation to reach their most mature form, we too must face the challenges of change to grow and develop. In life, there are two directions of change: generative change, which is positive, and degenerative change, which is negative. We never remain in stasis; we either grow or atrophy, and the same is true for our spiritual lives.The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, urges us to embrace the transformative power of God's love. He calls us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, wholly devoted to God, and to resist conforming to the patterns of this world. Instead, we are to allow God to renew our minds, enabling us to discern His perfect will for our lives.This process of transformation can be painful, as it often requires us to confront our past traumas, fears, and failures. However, by surrendering to God's transformative power, we open ourselves up to the possibility of profound healing and growth. As we allow God to reshape our minds and hearts, we begin to see the world through His eyes and to live in accordance with His will.Just as the bullfrog and butterfly emerge from their transformations as new creatures, we too can emerge from our traumas as renewed and transformed individuals. By embracing generative change and allowing God to guide us, we can experience the joy and freedom that comes from living in alignment with His purpose for our lives.So let us not shy away from the traumas of transformation, but instead, let us trust in God's merciful love and allow Him to mold us into the people He created us to be. May we offer ourselves as living sacrifices, constantly seeking to grow in faith and love, and may we experience the abundant life that comes from walking in the center of God's will.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
An Unexpected Family #RTTBROS #Nightlight An Unexpected Family: The Power of Community (Galatians 6:2)Devotional Verse: "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2, KJV)The natural world offers beautiful examples of unexpected companionship. Off the coast of Argentina, a pod of dolphins formed an unlikely bond with a lone beluga whale. Separated from its pod, the beluga appeared lost and disoriented. The dolphins, in a remarkable act of compassion, took the beluga under their wing, swimming alongside it and guiding it on its migration journey. This heartwarming display of interspecies cooperation reminds us of the importance of community.Devotional Application: The Christian life is not meant to be a solitary journey. We are called to love, support, and care for one another. Look around your church community, your neighborhood, or your workplace. Are there those who seem isolated, lost, or struggling? Reach out, offer a helping hand, or simply lend a listening ear. Just like the dolphins who guided the beluga whale, we can show Christ's love by creating a community of support for those around us.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Nudge #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Nudge : Faithfulness in the Ordinary (Proverbs 3:27)"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it." (Proverbs 3:27, KJV)Have you ever had a nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right? Sometimes, those feelings can be nudges from God, prompting us to pay attention. This is the story of Bailey, a dog in Oregon who became a hero. Bailey's owner repeatedly noticed him barking intently at the basement door. Initially dismissed as a case of doggy curiosity, the barking persisted. Finally, the owner decided to investigate, only to discover a dangerous gas leak. Bailey's faithfulness in alerting his family potentially saved their lives. In our daily lives, we might encounter opportunities to do good, to offer help, or simply to pay attention to a nagging unease. Just like Bailey, faithfulness doesn't require grand gestures. It's about being present, alert, and willing to act on those little nudges. Perhaps it's a neighbor struggling with groceries, a coworker feeling overwhelmed, or a simple act of kindness towards a stranger. Remember, God can use us in unexpected ways to bring good to those around us.

Galloping In Grace 2 Cor 3:17 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Galloping in God's GraceVerse: "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." - 2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)SEATTLE (AP) — A zebra that escaped from a trailer east of Seattle last weekend remained on the lam Friday, as authorities closed off trailheads at a nature area in hopes of keeping people away and easing her capture.The zebra was one of four that escaped as they were being transported from Washington to Montana last Sunday. The driver had taken the Interstate 90 exit for North Bend, in the Cascade mountain foothills about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Seattle, to secure the trailer, when the zebras got loose, surprising residents and drivers as they galloped into a rural neighborhood.Three were quickly captured after being corralled in a pasture. But the fourth — a mare called “Z” — hopped a fence and has proved more elusive, spawning popular social media memes that have placed the animal everywhere from riding a ferry across Puget Sound to rounding the bases at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners.The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV), "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Just as those zebras broke free from their confines, we too can experience the liberation that comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are no longer bound by the shackles of sin and guilt. The Spirit of the Lord dwells within us, granting us the freedom to live abundantly in His grace. We are set free to run the race set before us, not weighed down by the burdens of our past or the worries of our future.As the zebras galloped with joy, their stripes a beautiful testament to their uniqueness, we too can celebrate the individuality God has given each of us. In Christ, we are free to be who He created us to be, unhindered by the expectations or limitations of this world.So let us embrace the liberty we have in the Lord, allowing His Spirit to guide us as we gallop through life with purpose and passion. May we, like those zebras, bring unexpected joy and wonder to those around us as we live out our freedom in Christ.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for the freedom we have in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to fully embrace the liberty that comes from Your Spirit dwelling within us. Grant us the courage to break free from the confines of sin and to gallop with joy in Your abundant grace. May our lives be a testament to the freedom found in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Ripple #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Ripple Effect of Your Testimony"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Revelation 12:11 KJV)In a world filled with darkness and despair, our personal testimonies of God's grace and transformative power serve as beacons of hope. Just as a small pebble creates far-reaching ripples when dropped into a still pond, the impact of our stories can extend far beyond our immediate circles of influence.The book of Revelation reminds us that the saints overcame the enemy "by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony." Your testimony is a unique and powerful weapon in the spiritual battle for souls. It is a firsthand account of how Jesus Christ has changed your life, and it has the potential to inspire others to seek Him.Consider the story of Billy Graham, a man whose ministry touched millions of lives across the globe. His journey to faith began at a poorly attended revival meeting. The preacher could have easily become discouraged by the small crowd and decided to cancel the event. However, he chose to obediently share the gospel, and that night, a young Billy Graham responded to the call of salvation. The rest, as they say, is history.This story illustrates the profound impact that sharing your faith can have. You may never know the full extent of how your testimony will influence others, but you can trust that God will use your obedience to accomplish His purposes. Your story might be the catalyst that leads someone to accept Christ, setting off a chain reaction of transformed lives.Therefore, let us boldly proclaim what Jesus has done for us. Share your testimony with courage and conviction, knowing that it has the power to change someone's eternal destiny. Remember, your story is not about your perfection, but rather about God's grace and mercy in your life. As you step out in faith and share your experiences, trust that the Holy Spirit will guide your words and touch the hearts of those who hear them.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for the power of testimony. Help me to recognize the opportunities You place before me to share my story of faith. Give me boldness, wisdom, and compassion as I tell others about the transformative work You have done in my life. May my testimony be a light that points others to Your love and grace. Use my story to bring glory to Your name and to lead others into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Shining Matt 5:16 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Shining the Light in the DarknessYou are the lighthouse in someone else's storm.Verse: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 KJV)Just as a lighthouse warns ships of danger and guides them to safety, the church is called to be a beacon of hope in a lost world. We must never lose sight of our primary purpose - to reach the lost with the life-saving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In a culture that is increasingly hostile to biblical truth, may we have the courage to keep our light shining brightly, even in the face of opposition. Let us commit to being a church that faithfully proclaims the Word of God and ministers to those in need of rescue.As we strive to fulfill our mission, we must remember that our actions speak louder than our words. It is not enough to simply preach the gospel; we must also live it out in our daily lives. When we demonstrate the love, compassion, and grace of Christ through our interactions with others, we become living testimonies of the transformative power of the gospel. May our good works be a reflection of the goodness and mercy of our Heavenly Father, drawing others to the light of His presence.In a world that is often filled with darkness and despair, the light of Christ shines through us as a beacon of hope. Just as a lighthouse guides ships safely to shore, we must be ready to offer guidance, support, and encouragement to those who are lost and struggling. By extending a helping hand, a listening ear, or a word of comfort, we can make a profound impact on the lives of those around us. May we be sensitive to the needs of others and always ready to share the hope that we have in Christ.As we navigate the challenges and obstacles that come our way, let us remember that we are not alone in our mission. We are part of a global community of believers, united in our faith and our purpose. When we stand together as the body of Christ, our light shines even brighter, piercing through the darkness and illuminating the path to salvation. May we find strength and encouragement in the support and prayers of our brothers and sisters in Christ, knowing that together, we can make a difference in this world for the glory of God.In conclusion, let us embrace our calling as the church to be a lighthouse in a world that desperately needs the light of Christ. May we boldly proclaim the truth of God's Word, live out our faith with authenticity and compassion, and minister to those in need of hope and healing. As we keep our light shining brightly, we trust that God will use our efforts to draw others to Himself and ultimately bring glory to His name. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Wiping away the past Phil 3:13-14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Wiping Away the Past, Focusing on the Present"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)Driving to work on a rainy morning, I found myself struggling with the intermittent wipers on the front windshield. As I focused on clearing the rear window, which had become opaque with rain, I inadvertently missed my turn. This experience serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of focusing on the present rather than becoming mired in the past.In life, we often find ourselves dwelling on past mistakes, regrets, or even successes. While it is important to learn from our experiences, we must not allow them to consume us to the point where we lose sight of the present and the opportunities that lie ahead.The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, emphasizes the significance of letting go of the past and pressing forward: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ." (Philippians 3:7, KJV). Paul understood that his past, both his accomplishments and his failures, had to be put in perspective to fully embrace his new life in Christ.Just as I had to refocus my attention from the rear window to the road ahead, we must learn to shift our focus from the past to the present. We cannot allow ourselves to be so consumed by what lies behind that we miss the turns and opportunities God has placed before us.God's word encourages us to trust in His guidance and to keep our eyes fixed on Him: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV).As we navigate the winding roads of life, let us remember to keep our focus on the present, seeking God's direction and trusting in His plan. May we not be hindered by the rains of the past, but instead, press on toward the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Not My Kid Gal 3:26 #RTTBROS #NightlightNot My KidVerse: "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:26 (KJV)When mom was talking about going to the store with her to toddlers And she said to them their cars here in this parking lot so everybody take a hand. The older toddler of hers looked at a boy in front of them that was walking without holding a hand and said what about him he's not holding anybody's hand. And the mom looks down at her toddler and says, "He's not my kid!"In this busy world, it's easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. We might see someone seemingly getting away with things that we as Christians know are wrong, and wonder why we can't do the same. It's in these moments that we must remember - they're not God's kids.As children of God, we are called to a higher standard. We bear His name and represent His character to a lost world. Just as the toddler in the story was held to a different standard than the other child because he belonged to his mother, we too are held to a different standard because we belong to God.It's not always easy to live up to this standard. We may be tempted to follow the crowd or compromise our values for the sake of fitting in. But we must remember that our identity is found in Christ, not in the world.As sons and daughters of God, we have been adopted into His family through faith in Jesus Christ. This means that we are no longer slaves to sin, but rather we are free to live a life that honors and glorifies our heavenly Father.So let us not be discouraged when we see others seemingly getting away with things that we cannot. Instead, let us fix our eyes on Jesus and strive to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. For we are not just any kids - we are children of the Most High God.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Stepping Stones 2 Peter 3:18 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Stepping Stones to Spiritual Strength"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18 KJVJust as you've embarked on a journey of physical fitness by taking small yet significant steps, spiritual fitness too can be nurtured through gradual and consistent efforts. The essence of growth, both physical and spiritual, lies in the willingness to start, no matter how small the beginning may seem. Here a Little, There a LittleIn the realm of the spirit, every act of faith, every moment spent in prayer, and every scripture pondered upon contributes to our spiritual endurance. Like the body that strengthens with each climb up the stairs, our spirit fortifies with every truth we embrace and apply. Line Upon LineOur spiritual journey is a progression, not a sprint. It's about adding layer upon layer of understanding, precept upon precept, building a robust foundation of faith that can withstand the winds of doubt and the storms of life. From Faith to FaithWith each step forward, our faith deepens. What begins as a mustard seed of belief blossoms into a tree of trust, rooted in the knowledge of God's grace and love. It's a transformative process that turns the smallest of starts into a lifetime of spiritual fitness. The Starting PointRemember, the smallest act in faith is infinitely more potent than the grandest intention. It's the starting point that sets the course for a journey of a thousand miles. So, take heart in the knowledge that something, indeed, is better than nothing, for it marks the beginning of growth.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Embraced By Grace Eph. 2:8-9 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Embraced by Grace: Living From Acceptance"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)In the journey of faith, we often face the towering giant of rejection, a formidable foe that whispers doubts and insecurities into our hearts. Yet, in the battle against this Goliath, we must remember a pivotal truth: we do not fight for acceptance from God; we fight from the acceptance of God.Consider the moment Jesus emerged from the waters of the Jordan River. Before He had performed any miracles, before He had fed the multitudes or raised Lazarus, God declared from the heavens, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17 KJV). Jesus had not yet embarked on His public ministry, yet He was already enveloped in the Father's approval.This divine endorsement was not a result of Jesus's works; it was a testament to His identity. Similarly, our acceptance by God is not a trophy to be earned through deeds or merits. It is a matter of grace, a gift freely given, independent of our actions.As we navigate through life's challenges, let us draw strength from this profound truth. Our worth in the eyes of the Almighty is not contingent upon our successes or failures. We are cherished because we are His creation, crafted in His image, and redeemed by His love.So let us live not for the acceptance of God, but from it. Let our actions, our love, our very lives be an outpouring of the grace that has already claimed us. For in understanding that we are accepted, we find the courage to slay our giants and the freedom to fulfill our God-given potential.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Change Your Thoughts #RTTBROS #Nightlight Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." -Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)Our thoughts have incredible power to shape our lives. The Bible tells us that as a person thinks in their heart, so they are. In other words, our inner thought life determines the course and quality of our outer lives.The Israelites are a prime example. After being miraculously delivered from slavery in Egypt, their minds remained imprisoned by negative thinking. Despite God's daily supernatural provision, they grumbled and complained, viewing their circumstances through the lens of lack and limitation.How often do we fall into the same trap? We face each day thinking "I have to go to work" or "I have to deal with this problem" rather than "I get to use my abilities to provide for my family" and "I have an opportunity to grow and overcome challenges."When we change our perspective, we change our reality. Choosing to think hope-filled, positive thoughts aligns us with God's goodness and primes us to receive His blessings. As Jesus said, "According to your faith be it unto you." (Matthew 9:29)Today, refuse to be held captive by negative thought patterns. Win the battle in your mind by taking each thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fix your thoughts on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). As you transform your thinking, expect to see your life transformed!Let's pray: "Lord, forgive me for negative thoughts that have held me back.

Back To Bethel Gen 35:1 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Back to BethelKing James Version (Genesis 35:1)"And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother."In the journey of life, there are moments when we encounter God in profound ways. These are the Bethel moments– the times when heaven touches earth, and our hearts are forever changed. But as time passes, we often drift away from those sacred places and lose sight of the impact they had on our lives.When Jacob received this divine instruction to return to Bethel, it wasn't just about revisiting a physical location. It was a call to reconnect with the God who had met him there. Bethel was the place where Jacob had seen the ladder reaching to heaven, where angels ascended and descended. It was a place of encounter, revelation, and transformation.Similarly, in our lives, there are Bethel moments – times when God revealed Himself, spoke to our hearts, and changed our course. Maybe it was during a worship service, a quiet prayer, or a moment of crisis. These are the places where we felt His presence, heard His voice, and knew we were not alone.But life has a way of pulling us away. We get busy, distracted, and sometimes wounded. We forget the promises made at Bethel. We lose sight of the altar we built there. And in the process, we disconnect from the God who met us.Yet, just as God instructed Jacob to return to Bethel, He invites us to do the same. It's not about physical travel; it's about a heart journey. We need to go back to those sacred moments, those altars of encounter, and rekindle our relationship with God.And it's not just about us. Bethel was also a place of reconciliation for Jacob. It was where he made peace with Esau, the brother he had deceived. Going back to Bethel meant facing the past, forgiving, and rebuilding broken relationships.Likewise, as we return to our spiritual Bethels, we may find people waiting – those who impacted our lives, those we need to forgive, and those we need to embrace. It's a place of healing, restoration, and renewed connections.So, let's heed the call: "Arise, go up to Bethel." Let's revisit those moments of encounter, build new altars, and reconnect with God. And as we do, may we also find reconciliation with others – for Bethel is not just a place; it's a sacred space where heaven meets earth and hearts are forever changed.Prayer:Dear Lord, help us return to our spiritual Bethels. Remind us of the moments when You touched our lives. Rekindle our passion, renew our faith, and restore broken relationships. In Jesus' name, amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
A Quiet Comfort 2 Cor 1:3-4 #RTTBROS #NightlightA Quiet Comfort"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;"- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4I was listening to a young mom talk about an exercise where she promised herself she would write one positive thing that happened to her down on a list at the end of each day. she was doing really good until one day in May she miscarried Twins and had to come home and tell her other children who knew she was expecting the devastating news. She told herself she wasn't going to "play this stupid game" of writing the positive thing. She had made a promise to herself so she did it anyway. She wrote down "I liked the way my husband tucked me into bed after I got home from the hospital. It made me feel loved.". She said that list making plan helped her get through that crisis time. In the quiet moments of despair, when the world seems to crumble and joy feels like a distant memory, it is the tender mercies of our loved ones that can become the balm for our aching hearts. The young mother's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of love, and the strength found in the promises we make to ourselves.As she faced the heart-wrenching loss of her unborn twins, the ritual of finding one positive thing each day became a lifeline—a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. It was not just about finding joy, but about recognizing the presence of love even when it seemed elusive.Her husband's simple act of tucking her into bed was a whisper of God's comfort, a reminder that she was not alone in her grief. The warmth of that gesture wrapped around her like a blanket, offering solace and a sense of being cherished.This devotion is an invitation to all who grieve, who suffer, and who struggle to find a glimmer of light in their trials. Let us hold fast to the small acts of kindness, the gentle words, and the quiet support that come our way. For in these, we find the strength to endure, the courage to heal, and the hope to carry on."Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."- Psalms 23:4May we all, like the young mother, find our comfort in the love that surrounds us, and may we emerge from our valleys of shadows with a renewed spirit and a heart ready to embrace the joys that await us.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Prelude Of Rest Gen 1:5 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Prelude of RestGenesis 1:5 (KJV)"And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."As we reflect upon the divine order of creation, we find a profound principle woven into the fabric of time itself: the day begins not with the sunrise, but with the sunset. The sacred rhythm established by our Creator teaches us that preparation for what is to come starts in the quiet moments of the evening.In the hush of twilight, we are invited to lay down the burdens of the day that has passed and turn our hearts toward the promise of the new day. It is in this sacred space that we can align our attitudes with the peace that surpasses understanding, setting our intentions and plans under the watchful care of the Almighty.Just as the Lord ordained rest before work in the creation narrative, so too should we embrace rest as the starting point of our endeavors. By resting in God's presence, we recharge our spirits and awaken to a day already blessed by His grace. And as we follow the example of our Creator, who rested on the seventh day, we acknowledge that our strength is renewed not in ceaseless toil, but in restorative rest.Let us, therefore, begin each day the night before, casting our cares upon Him who cares for us, and rising with the dawn, ready to step into the divine story He has written for us. For in the pattern of creation, we find the blueprint for a life lived in harmony with the Creator's design—a life of purpose, peace, and rest.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Battling Life Dismorphia 1 Thess 5:18 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Battling Life Dismorphia "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to overlook the simple blessings that each day brings. We live in an era of unprecedented comfort and convenience, a stark contrast to the lives of those who came before us. Yet, despite our wealth and technological advances, contentment often eludes us. This phenomenon, known as "life dysmorphia," stems from the hedonic treadmill – the idea that no matter how much we acquire or achieve, our level of happiness tends to return to a baseline over time.As we reflect on this, let's turn our hearts to gratitude. A century ago, the luxury of a hot shower was unimaginable to most. Today, it's a daily ritual that we scarcely notice. But imagine for a moment life without it – the warmth, the cleansing, the comfort it provides. It's a small miracle, a gift of modernity that we should cherish.Let us then approach each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Let's be mindful of the blessings that we often take for granted and remember that every good gift comes from above. By adopting an attitude of gratitude, we align ourselves with God's will and open our hearts to the true richness of life – a richness that isn't measured in material wealth, but in love, joy, and thankfulness.May we not only count our blessings but also make our blessings count, by sharing our abundance with others and spreading the warmth of God's love wherever we go. For in giving, we receive, and in being thankful, we find joy.Joy is counting your blessing and subtracting envy. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Fearless PS. 91:5 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Fearless in the Face of Night's Terrors"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;" (Psalm 91:5, KJV)In our modern world, the "terror by night" may manifest in various forms – the blaring of a fire alarm, the sound of a break-in, the sudden onset of illness, or the devastating news of a loved one's passing. We live in a world filled with sorrow and the ever-present specter of death. It's natural to anticipate facing hardships and difficulties, whether in the dark of night or the brightness of day. However, as believers, we are promised that we need not be afraid, no matter what terror we may encounter.But why should we, as children of God, be fearless in the face of these terrors? The answer lies in the comforting truth that our Heavenly Father is always with us, throughout even the loneliest and darkest of hours. He is our omnipotent Watchman, our tireless Guardian, and our faithful Friend. Nothing can happen without His sovereign permission, and even the depths of hell are subject to His authority. The darkness is as clear as day to Him, and He has promised to be a wall of fire around His people – an impenetrable barrier against all harm.While those who do not believe in Christ may have reason to fear, with a Holy God above, a guilty conscience within, and a real Hell below, we who find our rest in Jesus are saved from these terrors by His abundant mercy. If we give in to baseless fears, we risk dishonoring our testimony and causing others to question the authenticity of our faith. Instead, we must stand firm, resisting the temptation to be afraid, lest we grieve the Holy Spirit through our lack of trust.So, let us cast aside all gloomy thoughts and unfounded fears. God has not forgotten to be gracious, nor has He withheld His mercy. Even if our souls are shrouded in darkness, we need not be terrified, for the God of love remains unchanging.Though the night may be dark and dreary, the darkness cannot hide us from our loving Father. He is the One who, tirelessly, watches over His children with a protective gaze. Take heart, for in Him, we can find peace and security, even in the midst of life's most terrifying moments.A Faith that can't be tested can't be trusted!https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Standing In Grace #RTTBROS #Nightlight“Let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” - 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)Consider 6 Thoughts toward standing strong in God's grace. 1. The Transparency of Scripture Unlike biographies that may overlook flaws, Scripture candidly reveals the faults of its heroes, teaching us that even in the wake of spiritual victories, we must be vigilant against potential defeats.2. The Heroes’ Downfall Noah, despite his faithfulness in building the ark, fell into drunkenness post-flood. Abram, on his journey of faith, lied in Egypt, and David, after defeating Goliath, committed grave sins. Their stories serve as cautionary tales, reminding us of the dangers of complacency and self-reliance.3. A.W. Pink’s Insight Theologian A.W. Pink noted .“God suffers it to appear that the best of men are but men at the best. No matter how richly gifted they may be, how eminent in God’s service, how greatly honoured and used of Him, let His sustaining power be withdrawn from them for a moment and it will quickly be seen that they are ‘earthen vessels.’ No man stands any longer than he is supported by Divine grace. The most experienced saint, if left to himself, is immediately seen to be as weak as water and as timid as a mouse.” This humbling truth emphasizes our need for divine support to stand firm.4. God’s Sustaining Grace God graciously provides us with righteousness, salvation, truth, and His word, enabling us to withstand trials and temptations, not by our strength but through His enduring support.5. The True Way of Escape Acknowledging our frailties, we find our way of escape through Jesus Christ, relying on God’s grace to sustain our faith and growth, just as Noah, Abraham, and David did.6. Reflection and Action Reflect on how God is shaping your thoughts and actions today. Let the biblical examples of reliance on God’s grace inspire your daily walk of faith.For further contemplation, read 1 Corinthians 10:1–13, which reinforces the message of God’s provision and the importance of depending on His grace.A Faith that can't be tested can't be trusted!https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
God Of All Comfort #nightlight #RTTBROSVerse:2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV) - "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."Devotion:In this fallen world, we all face trials, tribulations, and suffering. As Christians, we are not exempt from these challenges. Even the Apostle Paul, a chosen vessel of God, endured immense hardships, including beatings, shipwrecks, and persecution. However, Paul understood that his suffering had a purpose – to bring comfort to others who were going through similar trials.Just as Paul received comfort from God during his afflictions, we too can find solace in the Lord. God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He is with us in our darkest moments, providing strength, peace, and hope. When we turn to Him in prayer and trust in His unfailing love, He will guide us through the valleys and lead us to green pastures (Psalm 23:2-4).Moreover, our suffering is not in vain. God uses our experiences to mold us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. As we navigate through the fires of adversity, the impurities in our lives rise to the surface, allowing us to repent and grow in faith. Just as a silversmith refines silver until he can see his reflection in it, God refines us until we reflect His character.Furthermore, our trials equip us to minister to others who are hurting. By sharing the comfort we have received from God, we become a living testimony of His grace and mercy. Our stories of overcoming become a handbook of deliverance for those who are struggling. As we come alongside them with empathy and understanding, we point them to the ultimate source of comfort – our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.So, let us not lose heart when faced with tribulations. Instead, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). May we allow God to use our suffering for His glory and the edification of His people. And may we always be ready to extend the same comfort we have received to those in need, knowing that our God is the God of all comfort.
The New Tool #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHTScripture: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30, KJV)Devotion: In this passage, Jesus extends a loving invitation to all who are weary and burdened. Life in this fallen world is full of trials, hardships, and heavy loads that can exhaust us physically, mentally, and spiritually. But Jesus tells us to come to Him to find rest.When we come to Jesus in faith, He doesn't remove all our burdens, but He gives us a new "yoke" - His yoke. In ancient times, a yoke was a wooden crosspiece fastened over the necks of two animals to help them work together in pulling a load. Jesus says His yoke is easy and His burden is light. When we are yoked together with Him, He carries the weight and guides us.What makes Jesus' yoke easy is that He is "meek and lowly in heart." He is gentle, humble, and understanding. He knows our weaknesses and limitations. When we walk closely with Him and learn from Him, we find rest for our souls even in the midst of life's burdens.Being yoked with Jesus doesn't mean a trouble-free life, but it means facing troubles with His strength, guidance and companionship. It's a shared burden and a shared journey. May we accept Jesus' invitation daily to cast our cares on Him and find rest in relationship with Him.Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for Your incredible invitation to find rest for my soul. Forgive me for trying to carry my burdens in my own strength. I come to You now, weary and heavy-laden, and ask You to yoke me together with Yourself. Teach me Your ways and help me to walk in step with You. Thank You for Your gentleness, Your understanding, and Your sustaining presence. In Your name I pray, Amen.
The Silversmiths Reflection #RTTBROS #Nightlight Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” - James 1:12 (KJV)The Silversmith’s ReflectionIn the heat of the fire, a silversmith works diligently, refining silver until it’s pure. He explains that the silver must be kept in the hottest part of the flame to burn away all impurities. His constant attention ensures it doesn’t burn; he knows it’s ready when he sees his own image reflected in the gleaming metal. just as the silversmith sees his image in the refined silver, God watches over us through our trials until He sees His reflection in us.In the midst of trials, it may seem easier to falter and lose hope. But remember, it is the testing of our faith that produces perseverance. Let us embrace these challenges, not as burdens, but as opportunities to grow closer to God, to lean on His strength, and to renew our faith.As we continue to endure, let us do so with joy, knowing that the trials we face are not in vain. They are shaping us, molding us into the image of Christ, preparing us for the eternal glory that awaits.So let us stand firm, with our eyes fixed on the Lord, for He is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. And in His perfect time, He will stablish, strengthen, and settle us, making us perfect and complete, lacking nothing.If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image reflected in you.A Faith that can't be tested can't be trusted!https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Power of Constant Prayer #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Pray without ceasing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)Our lives are filled with ups and downs, joys and sorrows, triumphs and challenges. In the midst of life's ever-changing landscape, there is one constant that can keep us grounded, encouraged, and filled with hope: prayer. As the unknown author wisely stated, "For a better morning talk with God First. For a Better night talk with God last. For a better life talk with God all day."Just as wings enable a bird to soar high above the earth, and sails harness the wind to propel a ship across the sea, so too does prayer uplift and carry our souls through life's journey. Corrie Ten Boom, a woman of great faith who endured the horrors of a concentration camp, knew the sustaining power of prayer. She likened it to the very wings and sails that keep one aloft and moving forward.The Bible urges us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thess. 5:17). This doesn't mean we spend every waking moment on our knees, but rather that we cultivate an attitude of constant communion with God. Whether we're rejoicing on the mountaintops or trudging through the valleys, God is always ready and eager to hear from us.As we begin and end each day talking with our Heavenly Father, and continually turn our thoughts to Him throughout the day, we experience the peace, strength, wisdom and joy that only He can provide. Let us commit to a life of constant prayer, trusting that God will guide, provide and sustain us every step of the way.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Unveiling the Unseen: Extending Grace in Life's Hidden StrugglesBible Verse: "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." - Ephesians 4:32 (KJV)Devotion:In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and forget that everyone around us is fighting battles we know nothing about. The car with the "Learning stick sorry for any delay" sign serves as a poignant reminder of this truth.Just as we extend patience and understanding to the driver learning to shift gears, we should offer the same grace to everyone we encounter. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32 to "be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."We may not see the signs of personal struggles, but they are there. Hidden beneath the surface, people are going through divorces, losing loved ones, battling depression, and facing life-altering diagnoses. As Adrian Rogers once said, "You never know what someone is going through. Be kind always."Kindness and patience should not be contingent on what we see or what we think someone deserves. Instead, we should extend love and grace freely, just as Christ has done for us. We are called to be a light in this world, offering hope and compassion to those who are hurting.Today, let us challenge ourselves to look beyond the surface and treat everyone with an extra measure of patience, kindness, and love. We may never know the impact of our actions, but we can trust that God will use our obedience to touch lives and heal hearts.Remember, "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7, KJV). As we extend grace to others, we open ourselves up to receive God's grace in our own lives.https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Debt Rom 6:23 #Nightlight #RTTBROS The Debt We Cannot PayVerse: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23 (KJV)In this story, a British pastor and his young son entered an expensive store with a strict policy: "Do not touch any breakages, much must be purchased." Despite the clear warning, the pastor found himself gently touching the items around him. However, his 4-year-old son, Michael, was not as gentle and accidentally knocked over a large, expensive item.The store manager appeared, simply pointing to the sign. The pastor knew he couldn't leave the store and expect his young son to pay for the damage he had caused. Michael was unable to pay the debt he owed.This story serves as a powerful reminder of our own spiritual condition. We all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Just like Michael, we have created a debt that we cannot pay on our own. The wages of our sin is death, and we are unable to redeem ourselves.But God, in His infinite love and mercy, provided a way for our debt to be paid. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus paid the price that we could never afford. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).Just as the pastor had to pay for his son's damages, our Heavenly Father has paid our sin debt through Jesus Christ. When we accept this precious gift by faith, our debt is canceled, and we receive the promise of eternal life.Let us give thanks for the incredible love and sacrifice of our Savior, who paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt we could not pay. May we live our lives in gratitude and devotion to Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Goodness Of God Ps. 27;13 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 27:13, "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."In the midst of life's storms and challenges, it is easy to become fixated on the problems that surround us, causing our minds to be held captive by negativity and fear. But the Lord desires to set us free from this bondage, as stated in John 8:36, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."As you go forth from this place, may you choose to focus your eyes on the goodness of God, trusting that He is at work even when circumstances seem dire. May you find freedom in His presence, knowing that He is able to turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into joy, as written in Psalm 30:11, "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness."And may you always remember that the Lord is faithful and that His mercies are new every morning. As you seek His face and look for His goodness, may you find it in abundance, even in the land of the living. May you be filled with hope and peace, knowing that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ, as promised in Philippians 1:6.As you go through your day receive this blessing may you… see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Real LoveVerse: "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;" - 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (KJV)In my recent sermon on 1 Corinthians 13, I explored the true meaning of love as described in this powerful passage. I emphasized that love, or charity as it is called in the King James Version, is more than just a feeling - it is a way of life that reflects the very nature of God.I noted how we often use the word "love" carelessly in our daily lives, applying it to everything from our favorite possessions to the people closest to us. However, the Bible presents a much deeper understanding of love. The Greek word used in this passage is "agape" - a selfless, sacrificial love that comes from God Himself.True love, as I explained, is patient and kind. It does not envy others or boast about itself. Love honors others and seeks their good above its own. It is slow to anger and quick to forgive. These characteristics may seem impossible to live out in our own strength, but they are the fruit of a life transformed by God's love.Through this message, I challenged my listeners to examine their own hearts and actions. Are we loving others with the same sacrificial, unconditional love that God has shown us? Or are we more concerned with our own comfort and desires?As we meditate on this timeless passage, my prayer is that we would be inspired to love others as Christ has loved us. In a world filled with division and strife, may our lives be marked by the radical, transformative power of God's agape love.
The Invitation Matt. 7:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7, KJV)In our daily lives, we often find ourselves facing challenges, struggles, and moments of uncertainty. During these times, it is crucial to remember that our Heavenly Father is always present and aware of our circumstances. He is not a distant, uninformed God; rather, He is intimately acquainted with every detail of our lives.However, God desires for us to actively seek His presence and involvement in our situations. As the verse from Matthew reminds us, we are encouraged to ask, seek, and knock. These actions demonstrate our faith, dependence, and trust in God's ability to intervene and provide for our needs.When we pray, we are not merely informing God of our problems, for He already knows them. Instead, we are inviting Him to be involved in our lives, to guide us, and to work in and through us. Prayer is an act of humility, acknowledging that we cannot face life's challenges alone and that we need God's wisdom, strength, and provision.God is waiting for us to take that step of faith, to seek His face, and to knock on the door of His grace. He promises that when we do so, He will respond. "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Luke 11:10, KJV).Let us approach God with confidence, knowing that He is ready and willing to be involved in every aspect of our lives. As we seek Him through prayer, studying His Word, and walking in obedience, we will experience the joy of His presence and the assurance of His love and care for us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Ant Mill #Nightlight #RTTBROS Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."In nature, there is a phenomenon known as an "ant mill" or "ant death spiral." This occurs when a group of ants gets separated from their pheromone trail, which they use to communicate and navigate. Without their trail, they begin to follow each other in a circle, eventually leading to exhaustion and death.Like the ants, when we rely solely on our own understanding and follow the ways that seem right to us, we can find ourselves going in circles, lost and without direction. But God offers us a different path, one that leads to eternal life and fulfillment.When we choose to follow God's ways, even when they may not always make sense to us, we can trust that He is leading us to our true destination. We may encounter challenges and obstacles along the way, but we can have confidence that God's plan is greater than our own.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Paradox Eph 4:32 #Nightlight #RTTBROS The Paradox of Christian Kindness“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” - Ephesians 4:32 (KJV)Inscribed on the wall of a ministry to the broken, rejected untouchables in Calcutta India is this poem:Anyway PoemPeople are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;Be happy anyway.The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;Give the world the best you've got anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;It was never between you and them anyway.In a world where kindness is often met with skepticism, and sincerity with cynicism, it can be challenging to live out the Christian call to love and forgiveness. Yet, the poem by Kent M. Keith, though not scriptural, resonates with the teachings of Christ in its encouragement to persevere in goodness, regardless of the world’s response.As believers, we are called to a higher standard – one that mirrors the character of Christ. The poem echoes the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus taught us to love our enemies and do good without seeking reward (Matthew 5:44-46). This devotion is not about the immediate gratification of earthly approval but about the eternal perspective of pleasing God.The acts of kindness, honesty, and generosity mentioned in the poem are not means to an end but are ends in themselves. They are expressions of a heart transformed by God’s love, a testament to the work of the Holy Spirit within us. When we forgive, show kindness, and continue to build despite opposition, we are not just acting in defiance of human nature; we are living out the divine nature bestowed upon us through Christ.In the end, our journey is not about the accolades or the acknowledgments from those around us. It is about our relationship with God. As the poem concludes, it’s between you and God – it was never between you and them anyway. This profound truth should liberate us to live boldly, love radically, and give generously, knowing that our reward is not in man’s recognition but in God’s affirmation.So let us take heart and be encouraged to “give the world the best we’ve got anyway,” for in doing so, we reflect the best of our Creator, who gave us His very best in Jesus Christ.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Help For The Hurting Heart John 14:18 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "John 14:18 KJV - 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." - John 14:18 No one can bring true comfort to a grieving heart like Jesus can. Even the most supportive friend or relative can only do so much. The sympathy and kindness of others, while helpful, often fall short of what we truly need. Only Christ can understand the depths of our sorrow and offer the perfect words of comfort.God knows exactly when we need His comfort the most. Sometimes, it may feel like He's waiting until the very last moment, when we're at our lowest point and ready to give up. But He always comes through with His love and support when we need it most.God also knows exactly where we need comfort. Whether we're in a dark dungeon, a lonely wilderness, a fiery furnace, or a den of lions, He is always there to provide His mercies and bring us peace.We can then share that peace and comfort with others who are struggling."Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV)God's comfort is a gift that is meant to be shared. When we receive comfort from God in our times of trial, we are then equipped to pass that comfort on to others who are struggling. This creates a beautiful cycle of comfort that can help us all weather the storms of life.As we experience God's comfort, let us remember to extend that same comfort to others who are in need. In doing so, we become vessels of God's mercy and compassion, and help to spread His love and light to those around us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Hearing God's Voice in the Last Days. #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS Verse: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" - Acts 2:17 (KJV)Devotion:In the last days, God has promised to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, enabling believers to hear His voice and know His will for their lives. As the passage in Acts 2:17-18 states, this outpouring is not limited by age, gender, or social status. God desires to speak to each one of us more than we desire to hear from Him.While the Bible provides principles for making decisions, it does not always give specific answers to questions like which college to attend, which car to buy, or whom to marry. In these situations, we must learn to discern God's voice and follow His leading.Two fundamental principles for hearing God's voice are:1. Follow the written rules - God's Word should always be our primary guide.2. Follow our last order first - Obey what we already know God has spoken to us about doing.God may speak to us through various means, such as dreams, visions, or thoughts impressed upon our minds. However, it is essential to test these experiences against Scripture and ensure they align with what we already know to be God's will.Hearing God's voice is vital for the times we live in. As we seek His guidance and obey His leading, we can be effective in the ministries and tasks He has called us to do. Let us commit to spending time in prayer and in His Word, cultivating a listening heart that is attentive to His voice.
Transformed, Not Conformed #RTTBROS #nightlight #normankissinger #NK Verse: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Romans 12:2 (KJV)In this devotion, the speaker discusses the critical difference between repentance and compliance. Many parents have experienced their children professing faith when they were younger, only to find them living away from the Lord as they grew older. This raises the question: Is it enough for someone to merely change their outward behavior, or is a genuine heart transformation necessary?The Apostle Paul states that people will either be transformed by the power of Jesus Christ or continue to conform to the world's standards. It is easy for teachers of the Gospel to assume that outward changes indicate an inward transformation, but this is not always the case. People can conform to a church, a cult, or a certain way of thinking without truly being changed by Christ from the inside out.As workers in the gospel, it is crucial to understand, teach, and proclaim the difference between transformation and conformation. The Christian life is about being transformed into the image of the Holy God, as demonstrated in the life of Christ, rather than simply acting like a good churchgoer.In every age, there have been conformations both in the church and in the world, with people following different groups or ways of thinking. However, it is transformation that is necessary to save America and the church as we move into the end times. Let us strive for genuine heart change through the power of Christ, rather than mere outward compliance.
Joy Miner #RTTBROS #Nightlight 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV - 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.Philosopher's corner enter your own risk....You were warned.....Still here?....My friend that I'm doing a funeral for had a blood disease that required an infusion of platelets and Iron, two times a week for 4 hours each visit at Mountain States Tumor Institute for the last 16 years. The amazing thing about Johnny was that he had the ability to have a happy Spirit even in the midst of a lifelong battle with a debilitating disease. He could often be heard singing and whistling as he made his way through his day. As I've been thinking back over his life and looking at mine I sometimes find myself feeling sorry for myself over some difficult issue that's in my life. But I'm realizing that if we wait until everything is perfect in our life to find joy and happiness we will never find those things. A miner must move mountains of Earth before he finds ounces of gold. Perhaps we need to move aside the problems of our life and look for the happiness and joy that is all around us. but we tend not to see because we haven't done the work of moving the problems aside.I would wager that no matter how difficult you find your life right now there's probably somebody within your network of friends and family that has things far worse than you. Perhaps just for today we can be thankful for this day and the joy and happiness that is within it. Just some random thoughts about living life with gratitude and expectancy.
The Battleground Eph 6:13 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Life Is a Battleground":Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. - Ephesians 6:13 (KJV)Many people go through life expecting it to be easy and fun, like a playground built solely for their enjoyment and amusement. However, as the Bible makes clear, that notion is far from the truth. Life is in fact a battleground. As Christian teacher Adrian Rogers said, "You are in a battle—a battle for your soul, a battle for your family, a battle for your community—and you cannot be neutral."Each day, we face an Enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). We are engaged in a very real spiritual battle against the forces of evil and darkness in this fallen world. If we are not vigilant and prepared, we will be caught off guard and overcome.Thankfully, God does not leave us defenseless. In Ephesians 6, Paul describes the armor God provides to help us stand firm:The belt of truthThe breastplate of righteousnessFeet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peaceThe shield of faithThe helmet of salvationThe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of GodWhen we put on the full armor of God through prayer and living by His Word, we are equipped to face the Enemy's attacks. We can stand our ground, not in our own strength, but in the mighty power of God.Life is indeed a battleground, not a playground. But in Christ, we have everything we need to withstand the evil day and emerge victorious. So suit up, soldier! Take your stand on the unshakable promises of God's Word. And fight the good fight, knowing your ultimate triumph is sure in Jesus.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Joy In The Journey Pro 16:9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Finding Joy in the JourneyProverbs 16:9 KJV - 9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his stepsIn Proverbs 16:9, we are reminded that while we may have our own plans and ideas about how our lives should go, it is God who ultimately guides our steps. This can be a difficult concept to grasp, especially when we encounter suffering and hardship along the way.But as Helen Keller so beautifully put it, "Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of Christ in the midst of suffering." This is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of difficulty, we can find joy through our relationship with Jesus.Perhaps you're going through a tough time right now, or maybe you've experienced suffering in the past. It can be easy to feel alone and overwhelmed, but the truth is that Christ is always with us. He never leaves our side, even in the darkest moments.I remember a time in my own life when I was facing a significant challenge. I felt lost and unsure of how I would make it through. But as I leaned into my faith and spent time in prayer, I began to sense Christ's presence in a new and profound way. It didn't make the challenge go away, but it did give me the strength and peace I needed to keep going.So if you're feeling discouraged or overwhelmed today, know that you're not alone. Take some time to reflect on the truth that Christ is with you, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a new and powerful way.Prayer: Lord, thank You that You are always with us, even in the midst of suffering. Help us to find joy in our relationship with You, no matter what challenges we may be facing.

3 Walls of Sovereignty Gen 50:20 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Gen 50:20 Genesis 50:20 KJV - 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.The 3 walls of control The topic of God's sovereignty is a deep and complex one, and it can certainly be thought-provoking. You're right that the story of Joseph is a great example of how God can work even through difficult circumstances to bring about His ultimate purpose.Here are some points to consider:1. The idea of God's sovereignty means that He is in ultimate control of everything that happens in the world, even the seemingly random or chaotic events.2. This doesn't mean that God causes bad things to happen, but rather that He can use those things for good. As Romans 8:28 says, "Romans 8:28 KJV - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”3. It's natural to feel frustrated or powerless when we're faced with situations that are out of our control, but trusting in God's sovereignty can bring a sense of peace and security.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Unashamed Matt 27:29-31 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Are You Ashamed of Jesus? (Adrian Rogers)Matthew 27:29-31 KJV - 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.MATTHEW 27:29-31Ponder ThisSome years ago in New York City, there was a mother who was hanging clothes to dry outside when a fire broke out in her home with her baby inside. That mother’s face took the heat of those flames and was horribly scarred. Her hands were burned, but the baby was not touched at all by that fire. Not a hair was singed. One day that girl grew up and spoke to a friend who said, “Who is that hideous woman?” This girl said, “I don’t know,” and the mother heard.Later, when they got home, the mother said “Darling, come here. I want to tell you something. When you were a baby, I went into a burning house and rescued you, not a hair on your head was touched, but these scars on my face and these scars on my hand are there because I rescued you from the flames.” When that daughter learned the truth, she was filled with shame and remorse. She said “Oh, my mother, can you ever forgive me?” Let us never be ashamed of Jesus and the scars He bore for our sake. How could we ever blush to speak His name or own His cause? Jesus wore my crown. The sacred mystery is that He bore the curse; the solemn misery is that He suffered our hell.What does it look like to live ashamed of Jesus? To live unashamed?Where is it difficult for you to live unashamed for Jesus?Practice This*Discuss with a close Christian friend what it means to live unashamed of Jesus.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Here is a synopsis of my Easter Sermon Title: The Power of the Resurrection: Transforming Fear into FaithAs I reflect on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I am reminded that it is the cornerstone of our Christian faith. It's the event that sets Christianity apart from all other religions and gives us hope in the face of death. In my Easter sermon, I explored the significance of Good Friday and Easter, the historical evidence for the resurrection, its impact on the world, and how it should transform the way we live.I began by emphasizing that Good Friday and Easter are inseparable events. Without Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, his resurrection would lose its meaning. The crucifixion was the moment when Jesus paid the debt for our sins, and the resurrection was the proof that his payment was accepted. The empty tomb is a symbol of the hope we have in Christ.Next, I dove into the historical evidence for the resurrection, citing eyewitness accounts recorded in 1 Corinthians 15 and the Gospel narratives. I compared believing in the resurrection to believing in other historical events based on reliable testimony. The fact that the apostles were willing to die for their belief in the risen Christ is a powerful indication that the resurrection really happened. I also pointed out that the world would be radically different if the resurrection had never occurred. The positive impact of Christianity on education, healthcare, charity, and justice throughout history is a testament to the transformative power of the resurrection.I then shifted to discussing how the resurrection should change the way we view life and death. For believers, death is not the end but a transition to eternal life in God's presence. I compared death to a wedding, a homecoming, a banquet, and a graduation. Just as a bride is beautiful on her wedding day, we will one day be presented as a spotless bride to Christ. Just as a graduation marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, death is the doorway to a new life with God. I emphasized that only those who have put their faith in Christ have this assurance of eternal life.Finally, I encouraged my listeners to live in light of the resurrection. Because of Christ's victory over death, we no longer need to fear the grave. We can have confidence that our labor for the Lord is not in vain, and we can share the message of hope with a lost and hurting world. I concluded with a prayer for steadfastness and boldness in serving Christ.In a world that often feels uncertain and chaotic, the resurrection of Jesus Christ offers us an unshakable foundation for our lives. It assures us that death is not the end and that we have a living hope. As we reflect on the significance of Good Friday and Easter, may we be filled with gratitude for Christ's sacrifice and inspired to live each day in the power of his resurrection.
3 Crosses John 3:16 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 (KJV)The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a pivotal moment in history, where three men faced three different destinies on one hill. As the quote eloquently describes:"3 men, 3 crosses, 1 hill. One man cursed, One man prayed, one man promised. One died condemned, one died forgiven, one died innocent. One died in sin, one died to sin, one died for sin. One was held by death, one was released by death, one conquered death. One lost life, one gained life. One was life..."In this moment, we see the stark contrast between the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus. One thief cursed and rejected Christ, dying in his sin and condemned. The other thief recognized his own guilt and the innocence of Jesus, praying for forgiveness and receiving the promise of paradise.But the central figure, Jesus Christ, stands apart. He died innocent, without sin, yet He willingly took on the sins of the world. Through His death, He conquered death itself, making a way for all who believe in Him to have eternal life.This powerful scene reminds us of the incredible love God has for us. He sent His only Son to die in our place, so that we might be forgiven and have everlasting life. It is a call to each of us to examine our own hearts and consider which of the three men we most resemble. Will we reject Christ and die in our sins, or will we, like the repentant thief, put our faith in Jesus and receive the gift of eternal life?Let us pray:Heavenly Father, thank You for the incredible sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to recognize our own sinfulness and our need for a Savior. Give us the faith to trust in Jesus, to repent of our sins, and to receive the forgiveness and eternal life that only He can give. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
God Is Good PS 100:5. #Nightlight #RTTBROS Here's a beautiful KJV Bible verse that speaks about God's goodness:"For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth to all generations." - Psalm 100:5 (KJV)What about the problem of Evil? How can a good God create evil? The answer is he didn't. Listen to this exchange between a student and a professor. Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul!A professor at the university asked his students the following question:- Everything that exists was created by God?One student bravely answered:- Yes, created by God.- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.“Yes, sir,” replied the student.The professor asked :- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.Another student raised his hand and said:- Can I ask you a question, professor?"Of course," replied the professor.A student got up and asked:- Professor, is cold a thing?- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.A student continued:- Professor, does darkness exist?— Of course it exists.- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.In the end, the young man asked the professor:- Sir, does evil exist?This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.To this, the student answered:- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.Student's name was Albert Einstein..Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Wounded Jewel #Nightlight #RTTBROS Romans 8:18 KJVFor I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.“Did you know….An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls? A pearl is a healed wound. Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign or unwanted substance entering the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand. The inside of an oyster shell is a shiny substance called “nacre.” When a grain of sand enters, the nacre cells go to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the defenseless body from the oyster. As a result, a beautiful pearl is formed! The more pearls, the more valuable…God never allows pain without a purpose.What if your greatest ministry to others comes out of your greatest hurt or deepest wounds?The hard things we may be going through now are really nothing in comparison to the glory that will be revealed in us later.

Closed Doors Isa. 55:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." - Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)Have you ever prayed fervently for an opportunity, only to find the door firmly shut? In those moments, it's natural to feel disappointed, confused, or even frustrated with God. We may question His goodness or wonder if He truly has our best interests at heart.However, as believers, we must remember that God's perspective is far greater than our own. He sees the entire picture, while we only catch glimpses. What may seem like a missed opportunity or a setback to us could actually be God's way of protecting us from unseen dangers or directing us toward something better.The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps" (KJV). God is intimately involved in the details of our lives, guiding us along the path He has chosen for us. When a door closes, it may be because God knows it would lead us astray or hinder our spiritual growth.Rather than dwelling on the closed doors, let us focus on the doors God has opened and trust that He will continue to guide us. We can find peace in knowing that every "no" from God is ultimately for our protection and His glory.As we navigate life's challenges and uncertainties, may we cling to the truth that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Let us trust in His sovereign plan, even when we don't understand it, knowing that His grace is sufficient for every closed door we face.Prayer:Heavenly Father, help me to trust in Your perfect plan, even when I don't understand why certain doors remain closed. Grant me the faith to believe that Your ways are always best and the patience to wait upon Your timing. Thank You for Your protecting hand and guiding presence in my life.

Birthing Prayer 1 Kings 18:41-45 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Referring to 1 King 18:41-451 Kings 18:41-45 KJV - 41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.Here's the devotional:Seven times, Elijah bows his face in prayer, taking a posture of full surrender, believing that the God of Israel would be true to His word and promise. I have often prayed with a longing that reminds me of ‘beating on heaven’s door with bruised knuckles in the dark’.*Jesus, give me the faith today to pray again where I see nothing. Give me the companions who will wrestle with me once, twice, many times. Today, I beat on heaven’s door with bruised knuckles, calling out for rain, believing for revival, longing for more of Your presence in my life.I think of places where I have seen cynicism and criticism against God’s promises or where doubt or distrust have taken root in the hearts of my friends and companions. Holy Spirit, will You soften hearts that have grown hard? Guard my community from believing anything less than the best about Your love and Your work in our lives. Resurrect ideas and beliefs that have grown dry. Father, give me companions who long for Your presence. Provoke in me a hunger to discover with my friends the way You are at work. Give us prayers of bold faith, believing that You are kinder than we ever dared imagine. - Written by Kimberly Henderson of Prov. 31 Ministries - - Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Having the Mind of Christ #nightlight #NK #RTTBROS #normankissingerVerse: "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." - 1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV)As believers, we have been given an incredible privilege - access to the mind of Christ. Through the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we can understand God's will and the thoughts of Christ. This is a mystery that we may not fully comprehend, but we can trust that the Holy Spirit is glorifying the Father and the Son in our lives and speaking on their behalf.As humans, our default is to struggle with the desires of the flesh. However, as Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to wage war against these desires in our minds and hearts. With the mind of Christ, we can know what Christ is thinking about an issue and, therefore, know what to do. By staying close to God through His Word and prayer, we can better understand how Christ would respond to various situations.When we are intimately connected with someone, such as a spouse, we often know their preferences and thoughts without even asking. Similarly, the more we listen to, read, and study God's Word, the more we will understand how Christ would think about different issues. This understanding allows us to minister to others more effectively and respond to day-to-day situations in a way that aligns with Christ's mind.As we rejoice in this wonderful privilege of having the mind of Christ, let us commit to staying connected to Him through His Word and prayer. By doing so, we can live more effective lives and minister to others in a way that brings glory to God.
The therapeutic value of prayer again. Philippians 4:6-7 by Norman Kissinger#Nightlight#RTTBROSNormankissinger video on phone "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7, KJV)In this familiar passage from Philippians, the Apostle Paul encourages us not to be anxious, but to bring all our concerns to God in prayer, with a heart of thanksgiving. When we earnestly cry out to the Lord, even about problems that seem unsolvable from our limited perspective, He promises to guard our hearts and minds with His supernatural peace.While prayer is not merely a therapeutic exercise for our own emotional wellbeing, pouring out our hearts before God does have a profound impact on our mental and spiritual health. Even scientific research affirms that those with a vibrant faith and consistent involvement in a church community are far less likely to struggle with anxiety, depression, and other issues.Though we may not always receive the answers we hope for, we can trust that as we draw near to God, He will draw near to us (James 4:8). In His presence, fears are calmed, burdens are lifted, and we gain an eternal perspective on the trials of this life.So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16), casting all our cares upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). May our hearts find rest in Him alone
Set Your Standards Dan 1:8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Power of Setting StandardsDaniel 1:8 (KJV) - "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."In life, we are constantly faced with choices that can either lead us closer to God or further away from Him. Just as we set a speed limit on our car's cruise control to prevent accidents and maintain a safe journey, we must also set standards in our lives to guard against spiritual danger and remain faithful to God.In the book of Daniel, we see a powerful example of setting godly standards. Daniel and his friends were taken captive to Babylon, where they were pressured to conform to the customs and practices of the pagan culture. However, Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food and wine. He set a standard for himself based on his commitment to God's laws and his desire to remain pure.Like Daniel, we must be intentional about setting standards in our lives that align with God's Word. These standards act as boundaries that protect us from compromising our faith and falling into temptation. When we establish clear guidelines for our behavior, thoughts, and actions, we create a safer path for our spiritual journey.Setting standards requires courage and determination. It may mean going against the flow of popular culture or facing opposition from others who don't share our values. However, when we purpose in our hearts to live according to God's standards, He gives us the strength and wisdom to stand firm.Just as cruise control helps us maintain a consistent speed on the highway, our spiritual standards help us maintain a consistent walk with God. They keep us from veering off course and help us stay focused on our ultimate destination – eternal life with Christ.As you go through your day, take a moment to reflect on the standards you have set for your life. Are they aligned with God's Word? Do they help you stay on the path of righteousness? If not, ask God to help you establish new standards that will keep you safe and secure in your faith.Remember, setting standards is not about legalism or earning God's favor. It's about honoring God with our lives and staying true to our commitment to Him. When we purpose in our hearts to live according to His standards, we can experience the joy and peace that comes from walking in obedience to our loving Heavenly Father.Prayer:Dear God, thank You for the example of Daniel and his unwavering commitment to Your standards. Help me to purpose in my heart to live according to Your Word and to set standards that honor You. Give me the courage and strength to stand firm in my faith, even when it means going against the flow of the world. May my life be a living testament to Your goodness and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Locked In The Past Eph 4:32 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Locked in the Past: Learning to Forgive and Move Forward"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:32, KJV)In the wilderness, two bucks found themselves in a fierce battle, their antlers locked together in a seemingly unbreakable embrace. As the struggle continued, one of the deer eventually succumbed to exhaustion and died. The surviving buck, still entangled with his lifeless adversary, was forced to drag the dead weight of his fallen foe wherever he went.A hunter, witnessing the scene and moved with compassion, used a folding shovel from his pack to carefully separate the two animals. Freed from his burden, the living buck had a chance to start anew. However, instead of embracing his freedom, he immediately turned back to attack his deceased enemy, consumed by the identity he had built around this single conflict.How often do we find ourselves in a similar predicament? We become so entangled in our past hurts, grudges, and conflicts that we allow them to define us. Even when the opportunity for freedom presents itself, we cling to our pain, unable to let go and move forward.The Bible teaches us that forgiveness is essential for spiritual growth and personal peace. Christ, our ultimate example, forgave those who persecuted and crucified Him, saying, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34, KJV). As followers of Christ, we are called to extend that same forgiveness to others, no matter how deeply they have wounded us.Forgiveness does not mean excusing or forgetting the wrong that was done, but rather choosing to release the burden of bitterness and resentment. It is a decision to trust God with the outcome and to focus on the future He has planned for us. When we forgive, we open the door to healing, restoration, and the ability to live lives of excellence.Let us learn from the story of the entangled bucks and refuse to be defined by our past struggles. May we embrace the freedom that comes through forgiveness and, with God's help, move forward into the abundant life He has promised us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
It has been said we create our habits then they create us. What habit patterns are you leaving behind you today? If others followed your habit Trails where would they end up? Would you be glad if others followed the patterns in your life?
Title: Wanting to Justify Ourselves"And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?" (Luke 10:28-29, KJV)In Luke chapter 10, a lawyer questions Jesus about inheriting eternal life. Jesus affirms that loving God completely and loving your neighbor as yourself is the right answer. But then we see something revealing - the lawyer, "wanting to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?"He was looking to define the limits of who he was obligated to love, likely because he knew he had fallen short. As the commentary points out, this desire to "justify ourselves" is still common today. We want to be the ones who decide if our behavior is acceptable, rather than looking to God's standards. We're seeking to stay in control and avoid feeling guilty.But the parable of the Good Samaritan that follows makes it clear - our "neighbor" is anyone in need, regardless of circumstances or how the world views them. We don't get to draw boundary lines that keep our selfishness and prejudice intact.True righteousness comes not from self-justification, but from humbling ourselves before God, admitting our inability to meet His standards on our own, and throwing ourselves on His mercy. It comes from placing our lives under the authority of God's Word and our relationship with Christ.May we recognize the folly and futility of seeking to justify ourselves, and instead find true justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Then we can love God and others with the freedom and wholeheartedness He desires. Amen.
Before Us Deut 3:18 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "The LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed." - Deuteronomy 31:8 (KJV)Devotion:In our journey through life, we often face challenges, uncertainties, and obstacles that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and alone. However, as believers in Christ, we have the assurance that God goes before us, preparing the way and guiding our steps.The verse from Deuteronomy 31:8 reminds us of this profound truth. Moses, speaking to the Israelites, encourages them with the knowledge that the Lord Himself goes ahead of them. This promise is not just for the Israelites, but for all of God's children throughout the ages.When we trust in God and follow His leading, we can have confidence that He has already gone before us. He knows the path we will take, the trials we will face, and the victories we will experience. As the Psalmist declares, "Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways" (Psalm 139:3, KJV).God's presence before us means that we are never truly alone. He is with us every step of the way, providing strength, wisdom, and courage when we need it most. As Isaiah 45:2 (KJV) states, "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight." God's love and grace smooth out the rough patches and straighten the winding roads of our lives.Moreover, God's promise to never fail or forsake us is a source of great comfort. Even when we stumble or face setbacks, God remains faithful. "For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5, KJV). We can rest assured that God's love and presence are constant and unwavering.As we face the unknown, let us remember that God goes before us. We need not fear or be dismayed, for He is our guide, our protector, and our ever-present help.

Rainman Revelation 1 Peter 1:3-4 #RTTBROS #Nightlight 1 Peter 1:3-4 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,"My friend Steve Trail wrote the following devotional thought read it and receive your inheritance...""Rain Man" was the top moneymaking film of 1988, and also won the Oscar for Best Picture. It tells the story of an abrasive and selfish wheeler-dealer named Charlie (Tom Cruise), who discovers that his estranged father has died and bequeathed all of his multimillion-dollar estate to his other son, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), an autistic savant, of whose existence Charlie was unaware. At first, Charlie is only focused on getting a bigger share of the inheritance, but over the course of the movie he grows to care more about his autistic brother Raymond. Raymond has inherited almost 3 million dollars, but has no understanding of what that means, and no real concept of money. Because of his autism, he only cares about minute things like apple juice and Cheetos and watching “The People’s Court” on TV. He has received an enormous inheritance, but doesn’t understand it, and doesn’t live like it.How many of us live with a kind of spiritual autism? God has prepared for us an unimaginable inheritance and promises to provide for our every need; but even though we’ve heard that and say we believe that, why do we still spend so much of our time worrying about the apple juice, Cheetos, and TV shows in our lives?"Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
First Down 1.Cor 4:2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Title: First Downs to Touchdown: A Journey of Faithfulness"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." (1 Corinthians 4:2, KJV)In the game of football, there are two common approaches: being touchdown driven or being first down driven. Many players make the mistake of focusing solely on scoring a touchdown, taking foolish chances and ultimately losing the game. However, those who are first down driven understand that consistent progress, one first down at a time, is the key to success.This principle applies to our spiritual lives as well. In our walk with God, we often find ourselves tempted to pursue grand, flashy displays of faith or to seek immediate results. We want the touchdown—the instant gratification, the impressive testimony, or the miraculous breakthrough. But God calls us to be faithful in the small things, to trust in His timing, and to make steady progress in our relationship with Him.The Bible reminds us that "the just shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4, KJV). This faith is not a one-time, all-or-nothing event, but a daily commitment to trust and obey God. It's about consistently seeking Him, studying His Word, and applying it to our lives. When we focus on gaining spiritual first downs—growing in character, serving others, and deepening our prayer life—we create a strong foundation for lasting impact.Just as a football team that consistently gains first downs will eventually reach the end zone, a life built on faithful obedience to God will bear fruit in due season. As we trust in His guidance and timing, He will lead us to the ultimate touchdown—a life that brings glory to His name and blesses those around us.So, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2, KJV), and commit to being first down driven. May we faithfully take each step, knowing that as we do, God will guide us to the victories He has prepared for us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Trauma Training Room 8:28 #RTTBROS #Nightlight And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28 (KJV)In the book of Genesis, we read the story of Joseph, a man who faced immense trauma and hardship, yet emerged victorious through his faith in God. Joseph was betrayed by his own brothers, sold into slavery, and unjustly imprisoned. However, he did not allow these traumatic experiences to define him or destroy his spirit. Instead, Joseph used his trials as training grounds to strengthen his character, deepen his trust in God, and prepare him for the incredible purpose God had in store.Through each painful circumstance, Joseph learned valuable lessons. In slavery, he developed diligence, integrity, and the ability to thrive under adverse conditions. In prison, he honed his interpersonal skills, his gift of dream interpretation, and his unwavering hope in God's deliverance. Little did Joseph know that these very skills, forged in the fires of affliction, would one day elevate him to a position of influence and authority, enabling him to save countless lives during a devastating famine.Like Joseph, we may face traumas, hardships, and injustices that seem insurmountable. Yet, as children of God, we can trust that He is working all things together for our good and His glory. Our trials are not meaningless; they are divinely orchestrated training grounds where we can cultivate resilience, faith, and the very skills we need to fulfill our God-given purpose.So, when faced with trauma, let us not despair or become bitter. Instead, let us embrace the opportunity to grow, to learn, and to allow God to shape us into the men and women He has called us to be. Let us, like Joseph, fix our eyes on God's unfailing love and faithfulness, knowing that our present sufferings are but a prelude to the glorious plans He has in store.Remember, your trauma is not your destiny; it is your training ground. Trust in God's sovereign hand, and allow Him to use your trials to mold you, refine you, and prepare you for the incredible purpose He has ordained for your life.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GUIDES #RTTBROS #Nightlight Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:Philippians 3:17-20Choose the Right GuideIn today's world, we are constantly bombarded with an array of influences vying for our attention and allegiance. From social media influencers to political figures, it's easy to get caught up in following the wrong crowd. However, as believers, we are called to be discerning in choosing whom we follow and allow to guide our lives.In Philippians 3:17-20, the Apostle Paul urges the brethren to follow his example and the example of those who walk according to the pattern they have set. He warns against following those who are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, and who focus solely on earthly things.As Christians, our ultimate guide should always be Jesus Christ. He is the perfect example of how to live a life pleasing to God. By studying His Word and seeking to emulate His character, we can ensure that we are on the right path.Furthermore, it's crucial to surround ourselves with fellow believers who can encourage and support us in our walk with Christ. We should look for mentors and leaders who exemplify godly living and can provide wise counsel when we face challenges.Paul reminds us that our conversation, or citizenship, is in heaven. This means that while we may reside on earth, our true home is with Christ. We should not get so caught up in the temporary pleasures and pursuits of this world that we lose sight of our eternal destination.As we await the return of our Savior, let us fix our eyes on Him and choose to follow His leading. May we be discerning in the influences we allow into our lives and strive to be examples of godly living to those around us.In a world filled with conflicting voices and ideologies, let us choose the right guide – Jesus Christ – and walk faithfully in His footsteps.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Preach The Word #RTTBROS #Nightlight #Normankissinger #NKPreach the Word"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." - 2 Timothy 4:1-2 (KJV)In this passage, the Apostle Paul, sensing that his time on earth was short, imparts wisdom and exhortation to his son in the faith, Timothy. Paul's words ring true not only for the times in which they were written but also for the challenges we face in our current culture. As believers, we must heed Paul's charge to "Preach the word" with unwavering commitment and courage.The temptation to seek popularity and avoid confrontation can be strong for preachers, especially when delivering messages that may not be well-received by the world. However, we must remember that our ultimate goal is to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not just the "happy" or "fun" parts of His Word. We are called to preach the truth, even when it is sobering or uncomfortable.In our current cultural climate, it is alarming to see how far society has strayed from biblical principles. The rise of "wokeness" and the acceptance of bizarre and unbiblical ideas demonstrate the urgent need for the Church to stand firm on the foundation of God's Word. We must not shy away from addressing the issues of our day in light of Scripture, even if it means facing opposition or ridicule.Interestingly, we are witnessing a phenomenon where even non-Christians are beginning to recognize the absurdity of some of the ideas being promoted in our culture. They are standing up for truth and common sense, even if they do not yet know the Source of all truth. This should serve as a wake-up call for the Church to be even bolder in proclaiming the gospel and the unchanging truths of God's Word.As we navigate these challenging times, let us remember Paul's charge to Timothy: "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." May we be faithful to this calling, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to give us the courage and wisdom we need to stand firm and proclaim the truth in love.Let us pray for a renewed commitment to preaching the Word, both in our own lives and in the Church as a whole. May we be a light in the darkness, pointing people to the hope and truth found only in Jesus Christ.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Laying Out Your Clothes Isa. 61:13 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Choosing to Wear the Garment of Praise"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." (Isaiah 61:3, KJV)In life, we are constantly faced with circumstances that can weigh us down. We encounter pain, frustration, and challenges that can make it difficult to maintain a positive outlook. However, as children of God, we have a choice in how we respond to these situations.The prophet Isaiah reminds us that God desires to exchange our "spirit of heaviness" for a "garment of praise." This means that even in the midst of our struggles, we can choose to focus on the powerful and praiseworthy works of God in our lives.It is important to acknowledge that our pain and frustrations are real and valid. We are not expected to ignore or dismiss these feelings. However, we must also recognize that dwelling on these negative circumstances will not serve God's purpose for our lives in the long run.Instead, we can choose to intentionally shift our focus to the blessings and victories that God has provided. We can remind ourselves of His faithfulness in the past and trust in His continued presence and provision in the future. As we do this, we begin to put on the garment of praise, allowing our hearts and minds to be filled with gratitude and hope.The Bible tells us, "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, KJV) By choosing to praise God in all circumstances, we align ourselves with His will and open the door for His purpose to be fulfilled in our lives.Today, let us make the choice to wear the garment of praise. Let us focus on the goodness of God and lean into His strength, even in the face of adversity. As we do this, we will find that our spirits are lifted, our faith is strengthened, and we are better equipped to fulfill the calling that God has placed on our lives.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
How To Fuel Your Faith Isa 40:31 #RTTBROS #Nightlight How to Fuel Your Faith"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)Just as our physical bodies require nourishment to function properly, our faith needs spiritual sustenance to grow and thrive. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to neglect our spiritual well-being amidst the demands of daily life. However, nurturing our faith is essential for maintaining a strong connection with God and navigating life's challenges with resilience and grace.One of the most powerful ways to fuel our faith is through prayer. By setting aside dedicated time each day to communicate with God, we open our hearts to His guidance and wisdom. Whether it's a quick prayer in the morning or a longer session of quiet reflection, consistently bringing our thoughts and concerns to God strengthens our relationship with Him.Another vital aspect of spiritual nourishment is studying the Bible. God's Word is a wellspring of truth, encouragement, and instruction. By regularly reading and meditating on Scripture, we gain a deeper understanding of God's character and His will for our lives. Consider starting a daily devotional or joining a Bible study group to stay accountable and engaged in the Word.Worship is another powerful tool for fueling our faith. When we praise God through song, prayer, or creative expression, we align our hearts with His and experience the joy of His presence. Make worship a priority by attending church services, participating in worship gatherings, or simply incorporating moments of praise into your daily routine.Serving others is also a meaningful way to nurture our faith. When we use our gifts and talents to bless others, we experience the fulfillment that comes from being a vessel of God's love. Look for opportunities to volunteer at your church, serve in your community, or simply extend kindness to those around you.To incorporate these practices into busy schedules, try:Setting aside a specific time each day for prayer and Bible studyListening to worship music or podcasts during your commute or while doing choresVolunteering at a local charity or organization that aligns with your valuesJoining a small group or accountability partner to encourage spiritual growthRemember, fueling your faith is a lifelong journey. By consistently seeking spiritual nourishment through prayer, Bible study, worship, and service, you'll deepen your relationship with God and find the strength to navigate life's challenges with unwavering faith.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Casting Your Care 1 Peter 5:7 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Casting Your Cares Upon the Lord"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)Devotion:In the book of 1 Peter, we find a powerful reminder of God's love and care for us. The apostle Peter encourages us to cast all our cares upon the Lord, knowing that He cares for us deeply. But what does it truly mean to cast our cares upon Him?The Greek word used for "casting" in this verse is "epiripsantes," which means to throw upon or to place upon. It implies a deliberate and purposeful action of transferring our burdens and worries onto someone else. In this case, we are called to transfer our cares onto the Lord.However, there is a significant difference between casting our cares and reeling them back in like a fisherman. When a fisherman casts his line, he expects to reel the fish back in. But when we cast our cares upon the Lord, we are called to leave them there permanently, trusting in His ability to handle them.Far too often, we find ourselves casting our cares upon the Lord in prayer, only to quickly reel them back in by continuing to worry and fret over our circumstances. We must learn to cast our cares and leave them in His capable hands.The Bible tells us in Psalms 55:22 (KJV), "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." When we truly cast our cares upon Him, we can have confidence that He will sustain us and keep us steady, even in the midst of life's storms.God's care for us is not a temporary fix or a quick solution. It is a permanent, unwavering love that desires to carry our burdens and guide us through every challenge we face. When we cast our cares upon Him, we are demonstrating our trust in His goodness and our willingness to surrender our lives into His hands.As you go about your day, remember to cast your cares upon the Lord - not just once, but continually. Leave them in His capable hands, knowing that He cares for you deeply and desires to carry your burdens. Trust in His love and provision, and allow Him to sustain you through every trial and triumph.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering love and care for us. Help us to cast our cares upon You, not just momentarily, but permanently. Give us the faith to trust in Your goodness and the strength to leave our burdens in Your capable hands. Sustain us and guide us through every challenge we face, knowing that You are with us always.

DAY 41 GAL 6:9 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Title: The Power of Perseverance: Waiting for Your Day 41Verse: "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." - Galatians 6:9 (KJV)Throughout the Bible, we see numerous instances where God's people endured trials and challenges for a period of 40 days or 40 years. In each case, they faced adversity, uncertainty, and even despair. However, the common thread that binds these stories together is the power of perseverance and the faithfulness of God.When the rain fell for 40 days and 40 nights during the great flood, Noah and his family may have felt overwhelmed. But on day 41, the rain stopped, and when land appeared they stepped out into a new world filled with promise.Moses, after committing murder, fled to the desert for 40 years. Yet, on year 41, God called him to lead the Israelites out of bondage. Despite his past and his fears, Moses persevered and became a great leader.The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, facing countless challenges and setbacks. But in year 41, they finally entered the Promised Land, fulfilling God's covenant with His people.Even Jesus, our Lord and Savior, was not exempt from trials. He fasted and was tempted for 40 days in the wilderness. But on day 41, the devil fled, and Jesus emerged victorious, ready to begin His earthly ministry.These stories serve as a powerful reminder that no matter what we face in life, we must never give up. The trials we encounter may seem insurmountable, and the waiting period may feel endless. But just as the Bible shows us, day 41 is coming.God's timing is perfect, and His plans for us are good. When we trust in Him and persevere through our challenges, we will see His faithfulness and provision in our lives. As the apostle Paul wrote, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6:9, KJV).So, if you find yourself in a season of waiting, remember that your day 41 is on the horizon. Keep pressing forward, trusting in God's plan, and holding fast to His promises. For in due time, you will reap the rewards of your faithfulness and enter into the blessings God has prepared for you.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
From Guilt To Glory Rom 3:24-26 #RTTBROS #Nightlight From Guilt To Glory Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."Romans 3:24-26Paul Chappelle writes about Judge Horace Gray of Boston who would later go on to serve as a Justice on the Supreme Court once said to the man who escaped conviction on a technicality: "I know that you are guilty and you know it, and I wish you to remember that one day you will stand before a better and wiser Judge, and that there you will be dealt with according to justice and not according to law."God's justice is always perfect and infallible, unlike the flawed justice of man. He sees every sin and wrongdoing, and while His punishment may sometimes be delayed out of His grace to allow for repentance, it is ultimately unavoidable. God's justice, though sometimes slow, is thorough and inescapable.Yet despite being a just God, He is also abounding in love and mercy towards us. So great is His love that He sacrificed His own Son, Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins. Through faith in Jesus, His righteousness is imparted to us, making us fully justified and blameless in the eyes of God. When He looks upon those who have placed their trust in Christ, He no longer sees their sin, but only the perfect righteousness of His Son. This incredible gift of justification should fill our hearts with joy and compel us to share this good news with all who will listen.Find joy and peace in the marvelous gift of salvation and justification that God in His mercy has freely given you through faith in Christ.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Revelation Of Jesus Rev 1:1 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Revelation Of Jesus Rev 1:1 The book of Revelation opens with these words: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John" (Revelation 1:1, KJV). The entirety of Scripture points to Jesus Christ. As we read God's Word, we must see how it reveals Jesus.The Old Testament contains rich types and shadows anticipating Christ's coming. The sacrifices and feasts all foreshadow His sacrifice on Calvary. The prophets proclaim the coming Messiah. As Charles Spurgeon exhorted, we must "run to the cross" in every verse. The cross is the focal point of the Bible.The Gospels manifest Jesus Christ, the Son of God, living a perfect life and dying for our sins. The book of Acts shows the risen Christ and the spread of His church. The Epistles explain the meaning of Christ's work, establishing sound doctrine for believers. Finally, Revelation consummates human history, unveiling the glorious return of the King of Kings. From beginning to end, the Bible reveals Jesus.Moreover, as Christ is the focus of Scripture, so He must be the focus of our lives. As Paul wrote, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). We are called to reveal Jesus through our words and actions each day.May we yield ourselves fully to Christ, allowing Him to live through us. For the world reads the Bible through the translation of our lives. Let us shine as lights, manifesting the gracious love and truth of Jesus. To God be the glory both now and forever!Hey, God bless you. I love you, but Jesus loves you so much more.

Reconciliation Col 1:21 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Colossians chapter 1 and verse 21. And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled. Reconciliation, Redeeming the Time Brothers podcast, a podcast by Gene Kissinger and Norman Kissinger, two brothers who spent their lives in ministry and raising large families. Our desire is to provide a digital place for those who long belong. And as always, we want to leave a nightlight on for you. That nightlight is out of Colossians chapter 1 and verse 21. And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled. Listen to what Paul Chappell says about reconciliation. The Seven Years War, commonly called the French and Indian War in the United States, pitted the two largest colonial powers in the world, England and France, against each other. One of the incidents that started the war was an attack by a young colonel, George Washington, on the French forces at Jummanville, Glenn. In what was now Pennsylvania, the American colonists fought with the British against the French foes until the war finally ended in 1763. Just 15 years later, the French joined to fight with the Americans during the Revolutionary War, sending vital supplies and military personnel to enable America to defeat England. The two countries had once been at war, became allies. The men who had fought against each other now fought for each other and with each other. That's kind of how God makes reconciliation with us. We were once aliens and enemies against God, and yet through the process of being born again and being adopted into God's family, we now fight with him instead of against him. We now are on his side, as it were, and we're working for the kingdom of light instead of the kingdom of darkness. Maybe no better example is than the apostle Paul in the New Testament. He was formerly Saul of Tarsus, who had gone after the Christians with a vengeance and a viciousness. He used every tool at his disposal to stop the church of Christ from getting out of its cradle, really. And yet he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. His life was transformed. He became the chief proponent of Christianity. He became the apostle that would reach the Gentiles in a powerful, profound way, spread the gospel around the known world with three missionary journeys and his famous trip to Rome that ended his life. He was once an enemy and now he was reconciled. Isn't it amazing what our God can do? How he can change us? I'm so thankful that we have a God who's a God of second chances and changes. Let's pray. Dear Lord God, I pray that you would be with us on this night. Thank you that we can be a part of your eternal kingdom. Thank you that we can be a part of the kingdom of light and not the kingdom of darkness. Let us grow and achieve whatever kingdom purposes you have for us. And thank you that you reconciled us who were once enemies and now bring us into the fold in Jesus name. Amen. Hey, God bless you. I love you, but Jesus loves you so much more.

Focus On Me Isa 26:3 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Focus on Me Not the Storm"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Isaiah 26:3 KJV)Life is full of storms. Trials and tribulations that toss us to and fro emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. When the winds pick up and the floods rise, it's only natural for us to panic. We frantically try to control the situation, make sense of the chaos, and find a way through it all. Yet in our despair, we lose sight of the One who truly calms the storms.Jesus doesn't promise us a storm-free life. But he does assure us of His perfect peace when we fix our eyes on Him. He brings hope in the midst of the hurricane, comfort in the midst of the earthquake, joy in the midst of the famine. His grace is sufficient for every flood and fire we walk through.The next time you feel your world spinning out of control, choose to focus on the Lord rather than the storms of life. Reflect on His promises. Remember His faithfulness through past trials. Cry out to Him for strength and anchor your wavering heart in who He is. The storm may still rage, but He will give you His perfect peace as you keep your mind stayed on Him.Dear Lord, help me to fix my eyes on you today and always. When the storms come, give me the wisdom and faith to focus on your power rather than my problems. Calm my anxious heart with the assurance of your love and grace which never fails.

FREE AT LAST MATT 6:14-15 #RTTBROS #Nightlight FREE AT LAST. Matthew 6:14-15 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses." (KJV)Forgiveness is a challenging yet freeing act. When someone wrongs us, resentment can take root in our hearts. We nurse grudges and withhold mercy. But this bitterness only poisons our own spirit. As Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15, God forgives us to the extent that we forgive others. Forgiveness is not condoning wrong acts but rather releasing others from condemnation.As Mark Twain wrote, forgiveness is like a crushed violet releasing its sweet fragrance on the foot that injured it. This fragrance is the perfume of grace. Forgiveness sets both the forgiven and forgiver free from resentment's shackles. The one forgiven is released from fear of retaliation or rejection. The one who forgives is unbound from bitterness that corrodes the soul.Forgiveness heals broken relationships and restores peace. It allows room for understanding, compassion and reconciliation. With open hands and open hearts, we can move forward in freedom. Where there are wounds, forgiveness brings balm. Where there is division, it enables unity. By God's strength, may we walk in forgiveness toward all people, leaving judgment to Him alone. As we release others, we too are released into new life.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosFREE AT LAST MATT 6:14-15 #RTTBROS #Nightlight FREE AT LAST.

I Don't Know Prayer Eph 3:20 #RTTBROS #Nightlight God Knows"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." (Ephesians 3:20, KJV)In times of crisis and uncertainty, we often come before God with what I call “I don’t know” prayers. “Lord, I don’t know how to save my marriage.” “Father, I don’t know how to help my prodigal child return home.” “God, I don’t know how to break free from this addiction.” We feel lost, afraid, powerless. We have reached the end of our own understanding and abilities.But the God we cry out to is not limited as we are. He knows all things - the past, present and future are all open before His eyes. As Ephesians 3:20 assures us, He “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” His power has no bounds, and His wisdom no end.So we end our “I don’t know” prayers with the three most powerful words we can utter: “But You do!” But you do know how to heal my family, how to soften my child’s heart, how to break the chains that bind me. You know the way even when I cannot see it. Your understanding is perfect.We may feel lost, but our God knows the way. We may feel afraid, but He tells us “Fear not.” We may feel powerless, but “all power belongs to God.” When we do not have the answers, we can rest in the One who does. Our “I don’t knows” become “But You do!” And that makes all the difference.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Christ Is All I Need Phil 1:21 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Philippians 1:21 holds a vital truth: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This powerful verse reminds us that a life lived for Christ has great meaning and purpose. When we make the Lord the very center of our existence, orienting our priorities, goals, thoughts, and actions around Him, He provides us with incomparable hope, strength, and satisfaction. There is no greater aim than glorifying God with the gifts He has entrusted to us during our time on this earth.Yet if we're honest, it's easy to lose sight of Christ even when life seems to be going smoothly. We get caught up in our jobs, families, hobbies - the constant activity makes it challenging to keep our focus fixed on God. It's often when those distractions and activities fade, or hardship unexpectedly enters, that we realize how desperately we need the Lord. We discover the flimsiness of the foundations we had been building upon. We recognize the inability of the world to truly satisfy our deepest needs.As the saying goes, you don't fully grasp that Christ is all you need until He is all you have. Those difficult seasons of loss or crisis have a way of refocusing us on the Lord, burning away lesser things and leaving us longing for the enduring nourishment of His Word, His presence, His promises.When everything else crumbles and fails, Jesus Christ remains constant. He is the same yesterday, today and forever - a anchor for our souls no matter what storms may comeOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
I See You Heb 10;28 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Hebrews 10:25 KJVNot forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.Sometimes, our spiritual walk feels shrouded in darkness. Our spiritual vision, once clear and bright, becomes clouded. We may question God's presence, His care, and even our own salvation. These are moments when our faith seems to flicker and fade.Yet, even amidst this spiritual dimness, God has provided a beacon of hope—the Church, the body of Christ. Just as the eyes adjust to darkness, discerning shapes and shadows, so can we discern the faith of fellow believers, even when our own feels weak. We can see their steadfastness, their prayers, their unwavering belief, and lean on them for strength.And as our spiritual eyesight strengthens, we too become beacons. We can uplift those whose faith may be faltering, just as we were once aided. We can testify to God's goodness, His promises, and His faithfulness. Our words and actions become a testament, encouraging and strengthening those around us.This beautiful exchange of spiritual strength is why the Church is so essential. We are not meant to walk this path alone. We are meant to support one another, to share burdens, and to be a constant reminder of God's love and grace. Our weaknesses are met with the strength of others, and in turn, our strength becomes a lifeline for those struggling.So let us never forget: even when our own faith feels dim, the light of Christ shines brightly within the body of believers. May we seek out their support in times of weakness, and may we stand as pillars of faith for those seeking spiritual guidance.Let us pray: Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Strengthen our own faith, that we may be unwavering in our journey. Grant us the sight to see and lean on the faith of others when our own struggles. Make us a source of encouragement and spiritual strength for those in need. Through the fellowship of the Church, may we walk together in your grace and truth.

Pressing Pause Pro 19:2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight H.A.L.T.: Pressing Pause Before Pushing Forward (Proverbs 19:2) "He that hasteth with his feet sinneth: but he that deliberates is wise."Life's decisions, big and small, demand our attention and discernment. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often rush into choices without considering the impact of our emotional state. The wise words of Proverbs 19:2 serve as a timely reminder: "He that hasteth with his feet sinneth: but he that deliberates is wise." So, before hitting "confirm," let's consider the "HALT" principle:H is for Hungry: Remember Esau, who bartered his birthright for a mere bowl of stew? Hunger clouds judgment, tempting us to prioritize immediate satisfaction over long-term consequences. When faced with crucial choices, ensure your physical needs are met. A clear head makes for wiser decisions.A is for Angry: Moses, the revered leader, struck the rock in anger, denying him entry into the promised land. Anger distorts our perspective, fueling impulsive reactions and rash choices. Before making important decisions, take a deep breath, count to ten, or seek a calming activity. A clear heart leads to clearer choices.L is for Lonely: Loneliness can be a deafening echo chamber, leading to desperate choices just to fill the void. Remember people you know who married hastily due to loneliness, only to suffer the consequences later. Prioritize genuine connections and healthy relationships before seeking solace in rushed decisions. If you become unequally yoked with an unbeliever it will cost you in the long run. A clear soul seeks connection, not escape.T is for Tired: Elijah, the prophet, exhausted and despondent, fled from Jezebel. Fatigue clouds judgment and hinders our ability to think clearly. When faced with important decisions, ensure you are well-rested. A clear mind makes for sound choices.Taking a moment to "HALT" before pressing forward can make all the difference. By recognizing our emotional state and addressing underlying needs, we approach decisions with clarity, wisdom, and a greater chance of making choices that align with our true values and long-term goals. Remember, a well-timed pause can lead to a well-chosen path.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Slow Down PS. 23:3 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Slow Down! Psalm 23:2 KJV - He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.Imagine the scene: a sun-dappled meadow, lush green grass beneath your feet, the gentle burble of a nearby stream. This peaceful image captures the essence of Psalm 23:2, where David describes God leading him to "green pastures" and "still waters." It's a picture of rest, of renewal, of a soul replenished.Yet, in our fast-paced, technology-driven world, true rest often feels like a luxury we can't afford. We push ourselves to the limit, neglecting the essential need to rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and spirits. As John Lubbock wisely observed, "Rest is not idleness." It's not a sign of weakness but a vital act of self-care, a "harvesting" of the inner strength we need to navigate life's challenges.So, how can we incorporate this crucial practice into our daily routines? Consider these simple steps:Schedule it in: Treat rest like any other important appointment. Block out time in your calendar for activities that nourish your soul, whether it's taking a walk in nature, reading a good book, or enjoying a biblical time of meditation.Disconnect to reconnect: Step away from the constant barrage of notifications and digital demands. Disconnect from screens and reconnect with yourself. Listen to the quiet whispers of your inner voice, allowing them to guide you towards what truly brings you peace.Embrace God's creation: Remember the image from Psalm 23? Seek out green spaces, soak in the sunshine, and immerse yourself in the natural world. Let the rhythm of nature soothe your mind and revitalize your spirit.Find rest in community: Connect with loved ones, engage in activities you enjoy, and share laughter and conversation. The warmth of genuine connection can be a powerful source of rest and renewal.These are just a few suggestions; the key is to find what resonates most with you. Remember, prioritizing rest isn't about laziness; it's about intentionality. It's about honoring the need for balance and recognizing that a well-rested spirit is a more fruitful one. So, take a deep breath, step away from the busyness, and allow yourself to "lie down in green pastures."

Sometimes, they come in the form of crushing depression, leaving us paralyzed and unsure of the next step. Other times, the path ahead seems shrouded in fog, disorienting and confusing. In these moments of uncertainty, where even the "right" choice feels elusive, a simple yet powerful strategy emerges: just do the next right thing.This advice might seem underwhelming, even simplistic. But in the throes of darkness or confusion, it holds immense power. It doesn't demand grand gestures or superhuman effort. It merely asks us to focus on the immediate, the doable, the action within our reach.This philosophy finds resonance in Proverbs 4:26: "Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established." While pondering the entire journey might feel overwhelming, focusing on the next step aligns with this wisdom.When depression weighs you down, "just doing the next right thing" might mean getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, or taking a short walk. It's about breaking the cycle of inaction and reclaiming a sense of control, even if it's just over the next minute.In moments of confusion, "just doing the next right thing" might involve seeking advice from a trusted friend, reading a calming psalm, or simply clearing your head with a few deep breaths while reminding yourself to be still and know that HE is God. It's about creating space for clarity and reducing the overwhelming feeling of having to solve everything at once.So, the next time you feel lost, overwhelmed, or paralyzed, remember: just do the next right thing. Trust that small steps, guided by faith and intention, will ultimately lead you where you need to be.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Promise of His Return Luke 19:13 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Promise of His Return"Occupy till I come" (Luke 19:13).These words of Jesus remind us that He will return one day. Though He ascended into heaven after His resurrection, Jesus did not leave us alone. He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within believers and empower us to carry on His work here on earth.Jesus' command to "occupy" means we are to actively live out our faith with purpose, diligence and vigilance. We are to invest our lives in building God's kingdom through acts of love, service, generosity and sharing the gospel. We are to faithfully steward all that God has given us - our time, talents, treasures and testimony.Life on earth is a temporary assignment. Jesus' return is our blessed hope. Until that day, we are to stay busy with the Master's business, living each day as though it could be our last.May this promise of Christ's return fill us with holy anticipation. May it spur us on to lives of devoted obedience, so that when our King appears, He will find us faithfully occupying till He comes.Maranatha!

The Changing Generations and the ChurchBy Norman KissingerI recently came across some commentary online by a couple of ex-teachers discussing the attributes of the youngest generations. It spurred some reflection on my part about the relationship between the church and younger generations.As someone approaching 60, I find I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Millennials and those after them. On one hand, they've grown up with the notion that anything from before their lifetime is old and obsolete. There's a belief that things always improve over time. But people's basic nature doesn't really change. What saved people 2000 years ago - the power of the Holy Spirit, the truth of God's Word, the cross of Jesus Christ - still saves people today. The fundamentals of the gospel are timeless. Old isn't necessarily bad.At the same time, younger generations have made positive contributions. Millennials have pushed important changes in areas like work-life balance and workplace norms. Their facility with technology is invaluable.I believe those in ministry need to listen to young people to understand how the culture is changing. But we can't compromise on biblical fundamentals - the unchanging truths about salvation, family, and God's Word.If we listen while holding our ground on the gospel message, we can connect our timeless faith to their rapidly changing world. The culture today is drastically different from even 20 years ago. Effective ministry requires understanding young people's perspectives without sacrificing the power of biblical truth. Even as the generations change, the old, old story still has power to save.
PASTORAL PRAYER FOR PEACE #nightlight #RTTBROSGod, it's tough right now. People are hurting, stressed, scared. They feel lost, overwhelmed, like burdens are crushing them. We see it, feel it, and wish we could fix it.But we can't. What we can do is lift them up to you. You understand pain better than anyone. You offer a peace that makes no sense - a calm in the middle of the storm.Give them that peace, God. Not the kind that ignores the mess, but the kind that whispers, "You're not alone. I'm here." Remind them they're loved, even when it feels dark.Show them glimpses of hope in the little things - a sunrise, a kind word, a warm hug. Give them strength to keep going, courage to face what's next, and faith that there's still good ahead.Their hearts are hurting, God. Mend them with your grace. Fill them with that peace that's hard to explain, the peace that carries them through anything.We pray for the broken, the scared, the burdened. Hold them close, God. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Stars To Smartphones PS 19:1 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork." PS 19:1From Stars to Smartphones: God's Message EnduresThe Psalmist David looked up at the night sky and saw wonders beyond our wildest dreams. No telescopes, no satellites, just the naked eye witnessing the grandeur of creation. His words in Psalm 19:1 still resonate: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork."While our gaze might reach far further into the cosmos today, the underlying truth remains: God's presence surrounds us. From the vastness of space to the intricacy of a single cell, creation hums with His voice. But is it just a whisper lost in the noise of our modern lives?David also looked inward, finding God's message not just in the heavens, but also in the "testimonies of the Lord" (Psalm 19:7). This was his Bible, a collection of psalms, laws, and stories that revealed God's character and purpose.Today, our "testimonies" come in many forms. The printed word, online resources, even the diverse voices of fellow believers - all can guide us, convict us, and offer comfort. Just as the Psalmist marveled at the Bible's "perfect law, converting the soul," we can discover similar power in God's word, no matter the format.But the journey doesn't stop there. David knew God resided not just in the heavens and the scriptures, but also in the depths of the human heart. He pleaded, Cleanse me from secret sins (Psalm 19:12). Today, surrounded by the constant hum of information and stimuli, finding quiet moments for introspection and prayer is more important than ever.So, take a deep breath, step away from the screen, and look up. Let the vastness of creation spark awe. Open your Bible (or your preferred form of God's message), and let its words wash over you. Finally, close your eyes and listen to the quiet voice within. In stillness, you might just discover that God is closer than you think, speaking not just through the heavens, but right where you are.Prayer: Dear God, help me see your presence in the wonders of creation, the wisdom of your word, and the depths of my own heart. Grant me the stillness to hear your voice and the courage to follow your guidance. Amen.Further Reflection:What natural wonders inspire you most? How do they point to God's character?How do you engage with scripture?What practices help you find quiet moments for reflection and prayer?Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
This Is A BIBLE 2 Peter 3:18 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Verse: "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2 Peter 3:18)Devotion:Here is a quote about Vince Lombardi and how he taught the Green Bay Packers to WIN. "When the players came in to start training camp, they expected to immediately begin where they left off and work on ways to advance their game and learn fancy new ways to win the championship in the new season. When they sat down and began, Vince Lombardi held up a football and said, “Gentlemen, this is a football!”He then had everyone open up their playbooks and start on page one, where they began to learn the fundamentals – blocking, tackling, throwing, catching, etc. That was clearly not what they expected as players who were at the top of their game.This hyper-focus on fundamentals allowed them to win the NFL Championship that season 37-0 against the New York Giants. Vince Lombardi went on to win five NFL Championships in seven years. He never coached a team with a losing season after that and never lost a playoff game again."As Christians, we are called to grow in our faith. This means developing spiritual disciplines that will help us to know God better and to become more like Him. There are many different spiritual disciplines that we can practice, but some of the most important include:Prayer:Prayer is simply talking to God. It is a way for us to communicate with Him, to thank Him for His blessings, to ask for His help, and to confess our sins.Bible study:Bible study is the process of reading and studying the Bible. It is a way for us to learn more about God, His character, and His will for our lives.Worship:Worship is expressing our love and adoration for God. We can worship God through singing, praying, reading the Bible, and serving others.Fellowship:Fellowship is spending time with other Christians. It is a way for us to encourage each other in our faith and to learn from each other.Service: Service is using our gifts and talents to help others. It is a way for us to show God's love to the world.These are just a few of the many spiritual disciplines that we can practice. As we develop these disciplines in our lives, we will grow in our faith and become more like Christ..
Daily Allowance 2 Kings 25:30 #RTTBROS #Nightlight A Daily Allowance of Grace: Finding Contentment in God's Provision 2 Kings 25:30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. (Adapted from Charles Spurgeon) In a world obsessed with accumulating and securing, the story of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, offers a refreshing perspective. Deposed and imprisoned by the Babylonians, he wasn't given a vast storehouse of provisions. Instead, "his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life" (2 Kings 25:30). This simple truth holds profound lessons for us as Christians navigating the anxieties of our current era.Daily Bread, Daily Grace: Imagine the comfort of knowing your needs would be met each morning, not with a burdening surplus, but with a sufficient portion for the day. This, dear reader, is the picture of our spiritual lives in Christ. We may not hold a lifetime's supply of grace, but the Lord promises: "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Every day, He offers fresh manna, renewed strength through His Word, ministry, meditation, and prayer.No Need to Borrow from Tomorrow: Like the thirst of June felt not in February, so our future anxieties hold no claim on our present faith. Just as Jehoiachin received his daily portion without worry for tomorrow, we can trust God to meet our spiritual needs as they arise. "Therefore take no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" (Matthew 6:34).Living in Gratitude: When we learn to live on God's "continual allowance," discontentment fades. We recognize the richness of each day's provision, relishing the "daily bread" of grace offered on the table of His mercy. There's no need to crave or hoard, for Jesus has laid up in Himself "all things that pertain unto life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3).Evening Reflection: As the day draws to a close, take a moment to reflect on God's faithfulness. Did you seek your "daily allowance" of grace through His Word, prayer, or fellowship? Are there anxieties tempting you to borrow from tomorrow? Remember, beloved, your portion is secure, gracious, and perpetual. Rest in His daily provision and find contentment in His unfailing love.May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
RESTORED Joel 2:25-27 #RTTBROS #Nightlight And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamedJOEL 2: 25-27Sometimes in life we face difficulties and hardships that can feel like swarming locusts, devouring and destroying the blessings and joys we once knew. Our hearts break as we look around at the ruin and decay, wondering if restoration could ever come. Yet God in His mercy promises that He "will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten" (Joel 2:25). Though weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning light of God's redemption.As Adrian Rogers said, "God not only restores, but He gives back more than the devil ever took!" The blessings ahead are always greater than those behind. We serve a God of abundance who specializes in bringing beauty from ashes, life from death. He makes all things new.What wondrous love is this? As Charles Spurgeon declared, "God's restorations are not simple repairs, but resurrections." The same God who raises Jesus from the grave also raises us up from gloom to joy. He revives, renews, and regenerates.Even when locusts swarm and crops fail, God's people shall "eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD" who has "dealt wondrously" with them (v. 26). As we dwell in His presence, we "shall know that I am in the midst" and "my people shall never be ashamed" (v. 27). Hallelujah!Our merciful God brings full restoration. He satisfies our souls with His steadfast love. Even in life's bleakest winters, we can trust His renewing spring is coming. Praise the name of the Lord who turns our mourning into everlasting joy!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Tender PS 119:77 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. (Psalm 119:77 KJV)In this verse, the psalmist cries out for God's tender mercies so that he may live. He finds delight in God's law and precepts, desiring to follow the Lord's commands. As Warren Wiersbe said, "To 'delight' in something means to be soft and pliable toward it." The psalmist's heart was soft and pliable toward God's word.Though we often fall short, may we strive to delight in God's law as the psalmist did. As John Phillips wrote, "The man of God does not keep God's law grudgingly and reluctantly, as though it were a galling yoke and a crushing burden. He keeps it because he loves it."Lord, soften our hearts toward Your commands and statutes. Work in us a desire to follow You wholeheartedly, keeping Your precepts not legalistically, but delightfully. Shower us with Your tender mercies that we may live abundant lives in Christ. Help us to delight in Your law as the psalmist did so that we may grow deeper in love with You.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Building Wisely 1 Cor 3:11 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #NK Building Wisely"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV)In our passage today, Paul reminds us that Christ alone is the firm foundation on which we must build our lives. As Charles Spurgeon said, "The best of men are men at the best." Even mature believers will fail and falter at times. Yet if our lives are founded on Christ, we can have confidence that He will refine and purify us, burning away the worthless "wood, hay and straw" of sin and self-will.As the passage says, "If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." Though we may suffer loss from unwise building, our salvation is secure in Christ. For "no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus."Yet sometimes the pendulum swings too far the other way. In our anxiousness to affirm people, we can send the message that they "can live however they want to even as a Christian, sin as much as they want to." But Paul warns us, "If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him."As Spurgeon said, "Though the world tells us to put self first, Jesus calls us to die to self daily and make Him our all in all." This is the only sure foundation for a life that will stand the test of time and trial. On that great day when all is revealed, only what was built upon Christ will remain.So let us heed Paul's warning to build wisely upon the Rock, not drifting from the Cornerstone. May we let go of lesser things to cling to Christ alone. For He makes all the difference between a life destroyed and reward secured. With Jesus as our foundation, we can walk steadfastly through every storm and emerge pure gold.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Bright Path Pro 4:8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #nightlight #rttbros #normankissinger The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 (KJV). What a beautiful and hopeful verse this is! It reminds us that following God's ways leads us on an ever-brightening path. Our walk with Him is not static, but one of increasing illumination and understanding.The accompanying illustration depicts this truth perfectly. A winding path rises upwards, beginning in the shadows of early dawn and leading into the warm brilliance of a sunny day. This reflects the Christian life - we start out tentative and uncertain, but as we persist in faith our comprehension expands. With each step we take, guided by God's truth, the radiance around us intensifies.And the promise is that this glow will continue shining "more and more." Our spiritual journey will never stop unfolding. There will always be more nuance to grasp, more of God's character to comprehend. What a marvelous, lifelong adventure!Of course, this requires that we stay on the path. We cannot veer off onto side trails of our own reasoning. We must walk steadily in the ways of righteousness, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the perfecter of our faith. Then we can be sure our footing is firm.What a gift it is to have this assurance from Proverbs. God does not intend for us to stumble in obscurity. If we but follow Him wholeheartedly, He guarantees that the way will only get increasingly brighter. What a hope to hold onto! He who began this good work in us will be faithful to complete it. He will light our way until that most perfect day when faith becomes sight.

Waiting Room PS 27:14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Waiting on the Lord in Difficult Times"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD" (Psalm 27:14 KJV).I was having a horrible, awful, very bad, no good day, wondering how a tenuous situation was going to work out. In my distress, God sent me this verse as the verse of the day from my bible study app. It was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment.This verse reminds us that even when things look bleak, we can put our trust in God. He knows our struggles and will strengthen us if we wait patiently for Him. Though the situation seemed hopeless, I was comforted knowing that God had not abandoned me. He was right there, ready to renew my spirit when I called on Him.As one pastor and writer said, "Waiting gives God time to work." I was trying to fix everything in my own limited strength, but God wanted me to hand over control to Him. He may not resolve the situation as quickly as I'd like, but He promises to provide strength while I wait.On our worst days, God offers us His best through His Word. His timing is perfect, and He gives us exactly what we need right when we need it most. I'm thankful that He cares enough to reach out to me personally with encouraging verses that uplift my soul. Though the road ahead seems uncertain, I can wait on the Lord with courage knowing He will see me through.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Valley PS. 23:4 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Valley"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4 KJV)In life, we all experience exhilarating mountain top moments where everything is clear and our perspective is broad. We feel God's presence tangibly. The path ahead seems smooth and hope abounds. But we also inevitably go through dark valleys filled with shadow and uncertainty. The way forward appears murky and we feel alone or afraid.When standing on the mountain peak, we can look down and see how far we've come. The valley that once loomed large now seems small from this vantage point. We're reminded of God's faithfulness in the past and gain courage to keep climbing, even when the terrain gets steep again.In contrast, when we're deep in the valley, we look up and see rays of light filtering through the darkness. We're reminded that the sun still shines even when we can't always see it. Though the valley feels vast and foreboding from below, the sky above speaks of hope. God's light remains.The Shepherd walks with us through every mountain top and shadowed valley. His rod and staff protect and guide us, bringing comfort when we need it most. He lights our path even in the darkest times when we can't see what's around the next bend. We may not know what's coming, but we know who goes with us - the One who conquered even death.So keep looking up, dear one. Morning comes. The valley is not our home. God leads us tenderly through valleys but always back up to the mountain's crest in His perfect timing.

The Posture Of A Learner 2 Tim 2:15 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Posture of a Learner: Studying to Show Thyself Approved"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV)This powerful verse, spoken by the Apostle Paul to his young protégé Timothy, transcends the immediate context and speaks to the core of every believer's journey. It's not simply a call to study, but a call to embrace the posture of a learner. It's about approaching God's Word, and indeed, all of life, with humility, curiosity, and a thirst for knowledge.Let's begin with the Bible, our primary source of spiritual nourishment. Too often, we approach it with a checklist mentality, seeking quick answers or specific verses to bolster our existing beliefs. But Paul urges us to study, to delve deep, to wrestle with complex passages, and to allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate our understanding. This requires humility, acknowledging that we don't have all the answers and that God's Word is infinitely deeper than our limited grasp.Imagine yourself sitting at the feet of a wise teacher, eager to absorb every word. This is the posture we cultivate when we study the Bible. We ask questions, ponder different interpretations, and engage in respectful dialogue with others. We don't shy away from challenging passages, but rather see them as opportunities for deeper learning and growth.But the posture of a learner extends far beyond the pages of Scripture. It's about acknowledging that life is a classroom and every experience, every interaction, holds the potential to teach us something new. It's about approaching every person as a potential teacher, whether they are a seasoned expert or a child with an innocent perspective.Think of the wisdom gleaned from the elderly, the innovative spirit of the young, the diverse perspectives of different cultures and backgrounds. When we embrace the learner's posture, we open ourselves to a world of knowledge and understanding that would otherwise remain closed.Here are some practical ways to cultivate the posture of a learner in your daily life: Challenge your own biases and assumptions.Ask questions, even if they seem "dumb." Curiosity is the key to unlocking new knowledge.Be open to feedback, both positive and negative. It's an opportunity for growth.Celebrate the successes of others and learn from their experiences.Never stop exploring, questioning, and growing.Remember, the journey of faith and life is not a destination, but a continuous process of learning and becoming. By embracing the posture of a learner, we open ourselves to the transformative power of God's Word, the wisdom of others, and the endless possibilities for growth that life presents. So, let us all strive to be "workmen that needeth not to be ashamed," ever learning, ever growing, and ever seeking to be approved by the One who teaches us all.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
A Merry Heart Prov 17:22 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." (Proverbs 17:22, KJV)Let's face it, the Christian life isn't always sunshine and rainbows (though there's certainly a healthy dose of both promised!). Sometimes, it feels like we're juggling flaming chainsaws while blindfolded on a unicycle. But fear not, fellow pilgrims, for even amidst the chaos, there's room for a good chuckle – and maybe even a belly laugh.Remember that verse in Proverbs? "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." It's telling us that laughter isn't just frivolous fun; it's a vital ingredient for a healthy spirit. And who needs a healthy spirit more than those navigating the sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-hair-raising journey of faith?Think about it. Have you ever prayed for parking and then found the perfect spot right out front? Or maybe you tripped spectacularly in public, only to have a stranger offer a helping hand (and a stifled giggle)? These moments, big or small, remind us that even in the mundane, God throws in a dash of divine humor to lighten the load.Now, I'm not advocating for jokes that poke fun at our beliefs or belittle others. But finding humor in everyday situations, even the not-so-holy ones, can be a powerful tool. It helps us maintain perspective and fosters resilience.Think about it: wouldn't you rather navigate life's detours with a chuckle than a groan? Wouldn't facing challenges with a dash of humor make the journey more bearable, even enjoyable?So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed, try this:Reframe the situation: Look for the absurdity in the chaos. What if that spilled coffee becomes a hilarious anecdote for your next family gathering?Share a laugh with a friend: Humor thrives in community. Share your mishaps and find comfort in knowing you're not alone in the "clumsy Christian club."Remember, God has a sense of humor: He created the platypus, after all! Trust that He understands the need for a good laugh, even in the midst of life's storms.So, go forth and spread the laughter! Let your lighthearted spirit shine, reminding everyone that even on the narrow path, there's room for a joyful giggle or two. After all, a merry heart truly is a powerful medicine, and who knows, your divine punchlines might just be the balm someone needs today.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Ultimate Tag Team #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Ultimate Tag Team Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57)."A.B SIMPSON write the following "The SecretA precious secret of Christian life is to have Jesus dwelling within the heart and conquering things that we never could overcome. it is the only secret of power in our lives. Men cannot understand it nor will the world believe it, but it is true that God will come to dwell within us and be the power, the purity, the victory and the joy of our lives. Our attitudes will no longer be, "What is the best that I can do?" but we will ask, "What is the best that Christ can do?" it enables us to say with Paul in that beautiful passage in Philippians, I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to stiffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (4:12-13). With this knowledge I go forth to meet my testings, and this knowledge enables me to stand. I could never keep myself, but because Christ has met the adversary and defeated him for me I am kept pure and clean. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57)."In my mind as I was reading this devotion from days gone by I had an image of the wresting shows I watched as a kid. A tag team match was going on and one partner was getting pummeled he would crawl to the rope and tag his stronger more able partner who would.come in and do what he was unable to do. There are so many opponents that are wearing us down we feel the need to tap out but what we really need is Christ to win the battle for us.Christ as the inner power source doesn't guarantee an easy life. Challenges will still arise, but we face them differently. We are no longer alone, fighting with our limited human strength. We have an indwelling champion, one who has already overcome, empowering us to stand firm.Think of it like facing a formidable opponent. You wouldn't enter the ring alone. So why battle life's struggles without the ultimate champion by your side? By surrendering to His presence, you tap into an invincible force that conquers negativity, fear, and despair.This isn't just a theory; it's a transformative experience. As A.B. Simpson reminds us, "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." And the reward? Not earthly accolades, but the fulfillment of Revelation's promise: "To him that overcometh, will I give..." a deeper connection with God and the indescribable joy of living victoriously in Him.So, are you ready to start winning? Submit to Christ, repent of your sins and ask him to abide or live in your heart, allowing His presence to reshape your perspective and empower you to overcome. It's not just a secret; it's the key to unlocking a life transformed by His love and strength.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Immature Church 1 Cor 13:11 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #Nightlight The Immature Church"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." - 1 Corinthians 13:11 (KJV)The apostle Paul reminds us that we should mature in our faith, yet often the church today remains immature. We are quick to criticize others' faults rather than examining our own lives. True revival begins with individual repentance and spiritual growth, not complaining about others. We must stop focusing on fixing everyone else and instead prioritize working on our own relationship with God. As we each grow closer to Christ, our families, churches and communities will be renewed. The church's effectiveness depends on personal spiritual maturity, not keeping an immature herd together. Let us put away childish ways and become spiritually mature, beginning with our own walk with God.As Charles Spurgeon said, "Look within thine own heart first..." We must confront the sin and immaturity within ourselves before concerning ourselves with others. Criticizing fellow believers only breeds more disunity and dysfunction. Our eyes should be fixed firmly on Christ as we allow Him to transform us from within.Adrian Rogers compellingly stated, "You cannot lead others further than you have gone yourself." Spiritual leadership requires personal maturity and depth of character. We lead best by example, humbly walking the path of sanctification ahead of others. Then we can come alongside our brothers and sisters, having credibility and compassion borne of our own struggles.

This video did a weird closeup I will get it right tomorrow 😁All The Water John 15:9 #RTTBROS #NightlightJohn 15:19 says, "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you"Ships do not sink because of all the water around them, but because of water inside"The world, with its alluring currents and treacherous tides, can easily pull us off course. Yet, as Jesus reminds us, we are to be "in the world, but not of the world" (John 17:14, paraphrased). This verse, like a lighthouse beam, illuminates the path of faithful living. It's not about complete isolation, but about maintaining a vigilant watch over our inner selves, ensuring the waters of the world don't seep in and sink our spiritual ship. It has been pointed out that "The world is a great sea, and the Church is a little boat. If the sea gets into the boat, the boat will sink; but if the boat gets into the sea, the sea will be navigated." This powerful image underscores the importance of guarding our hearts and minds from the world's influences.The world is not the enemy; the system of the world is the enemy. This "system" encompasses its values, desires, and priorities that often contradict God's teachings. It's the allure of materialism, the pull of envy and comparison, the temptations of fleeting pleasures. Allowing these to permeate our inner being, our "operating system," can erode our faith and lead us astray.So, how do we navigate this turbulent world without letting it drown our spiritual essence? Here are some anchors to hold us steady:Scripture as our compass: Immerse yourself in God's Word daily. It offers guidance, strength, and a clear understanding of His will for your life.Prayer as our lifeline: Maintain an open communication with God. Share your struggles, seek His wisdom, and find solace in His presence.Community as our support: Surround yourself with fellow believers who share your values and can offer encouragement and accountability.Discernment as our shield: Cultivate a critical mind, carefully evaluating the world's messages and aligning them with God's truth.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Contented Heb 13:5 #RTTBROS #Nightlight A Heart of Contentment: Finding Joy in What We Have "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5, KJV)The world whispers promises of fulfillment through more, more, more. But amidst the endless pursuit, contentment often feels elusive. Today, let's step away from the clamor and rediscover the joy of gratitude, rooted in the truth that God has already provided all we truly need.Adrian Rogers once said, "Gratitude is not just saying 'thank you'; it's a way of life." It's a lens through which we view our circumstances, shifting our focus from what we lack to the abundance already present. We may not have everything we desire, but as Charles Spurgeon eloquently reminded us, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes us happy."Cultivating gratitude is a daily practice, a muscle that strengthens with use. Start your day by acknowledging three things you're grateful for, big or small. It could be the warmth of the sun on your face, the laughter of a loved one, or the simple gift of another breath. Write them down, savor them in your mind, and whisper a "thank you" to God.Gratitude doesn't mean ignoring challenges or aspirations. It allows us to acknowledge them while remembering that our worth isn't defined by our achievements. As we move forward in life, our goals and desires may change, but God's faithfulness remains constant. He promises never to leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5, KJV).Finding contentment doesn't mean stagnation. It's about embracing the present while striving for progress. It's about saying, "Lord, I trust You. I'm grateful for what I have today, and I'm confident in Your goodness as I journey forward."Remember, dear friends, true joy isn't found in acquiring more, but in appreciating what we already possess. With a heart overflowing with gratitude, we discover a deep sense of peace and contentment, no matter what life throws our way. So let us cultivate this precious gift, embracing the Adrian Rogers way: not just saying "thank you," but living a life of gratitude, radiating joy in the abundance God has already bestowed upon us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Unexpected Isa 55:8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Unexpected"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)We often come to God with specific requests and desires, asking for certain outcomes and solutions. In our minds, we have a set idea of how God should respond. But God, in His infinite wisdom and love, knows what is truly best for us. As Isaiah 55:8 reminds us, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Though His ways are higher than our ways, He cares deeply about the petitions of our hearts.When we pray for a cake, but are given the ingredients to bake one instead, God is teaching us to partner with Him. He wants us to trust in His provision and walk in obedience, even when the answer doesn't look like what we imagined. God is concerned with our growth and maturity, not just giving handouts. He desires intimacy with us.We see this in the Bible when God provides manna in the wilderness rather than an all-you-can-eat buffet. The Israelites had to trust God one day at a time. Or when God responds to Paul's thorn in the flesh with grace rather than healing. His strength was made perfect in Paul's weakness.Let's bring our requests to God believing that He will answer according to His timing and wisdom. Even if the response seems confusing at first, trust that God knows what we need better than we know ourselves. Thank Him for His faithfulness and lovingkindness, for blessings come in unexpected forms. And when we ask for cake, let's joyfully commence with some baking! Our loving Father has already supplied all the ingredients.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Compass Of Purpose Jer 29:11 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Compass Of Purpose: Rediscovering Purpose with Christ"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11, KJV). Have you ever felt adrift, lost in a fog of uncertainty and doubt? The compass of purpose seems to spin wildly, offering no clear direction. This feeling, dear friend, is shared by countless souls throughout history. Even biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and Jonah grappled with moments of lost direction.But amidst the fog, God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11 shine #nightlight #rttbros s like a beacon. He whispers, I know the plans I have for you, plans not of misfortune, but of peace and purpose. Preachers of old were fond of reminding us that "God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called." Our purpose, then, isn't something we need to frantically search for, but rather a path that unfolds as we walk hand-in-hand with the Divine.Adrian Rogers further illuminates this truth by stating, "Your purpose is not found in your position, your possessions, or your profession. Your purpose is found in a Person: Jesus Christ." It's in this relationship, in surrendering our hearts to Him, that our unique gifts and passions align with His grand design. We become instruments, vessels through which His love flows and His purpose unfolds.So, how do we rediscover this God-given purpose in the midst of confusion? Firstly, let's quiet the inner noise. Spend time in prayer and reflection, seeking God's guidance. Listen for the whispers of your heart, the passions that ignite your soul. Remember, He has placed these desires within you for a reason.Secondly, step outside yourself. Look for opportunities to serve others, to use your gifts to make a difference. As you connect with the needs around you, your purpose will begin to take shape. Remember, the greatest joys in life often lie in giving, not getting.Finally, trust the process. God's timing is perfect, even when it feels frustratingly slow. Embrace the journey, the stumbles and the triumphs, for each step, guided by faith, leads you closer to fulfilling your purpose.So, dear friend, take a deep breath and release the grip of doubt. Remember, you are not a compassless soul lost in the fog. You are a beloved child of God, walking hand-in-hand with your Divine Guide. Trust His promises, listen to your heart, and step into the service of others. In doing so, you'll discover that your purpose wasn't lost; it was simply waiting to be revealed, one beautiful step at a time.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Thy God. Deut 4:37#RTTBROS #Nightlight Our reading today comes from Deuteronomy 4:37- "And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt." This verse reminds us that the Lord our God is a personal, relational God. He refers to Himself possessively as "thy God" in other passages to convey intimacy.The God of the Bible is not some distant, detached deity. He loved and chose the Israelites, delivering them powerfully. This verbs like "loved" and "chose" reveal God's deep care for His people. He initiates relationship with us.God could have simply called Himself "the God" but instead He says "thy God." He wants us to take hold of Him in a personal way, not approach him formally. He is our God, belonging to us, just as we belong to Him. What a comfort!We can call on the Lord our God intimately, knowing He hears us (Psalm 145:18). We need not cry out to some far-off supreme being. The Lord our God invites us to converse with Him, casting every care on Him (1 Peter 5:7).God cares about the details of our lives. As Deuteronomy 4:7 states "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?" He is near, involved in all things we face.Let us thank God today that He is not a detached, impersonal deity. Through Christ, we have access to Him as our God, personally relating with Him. We can boldly approach His throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) knowing the Lord our God cares for us deeply. What a blessing to serve a God who wants intimacy with us!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
No Repentance No Revival by Norman Kissinger #NK #NormanKissinger #RTTBROS #Nightlight No Repentance No Revival"Little children, keep yourselves from idols." (1 John 5:21 KJV)Idolatry is a dangerous yet tempting sin that we must vigilantly guard against as believers. Anything we put before God in our lives becomes an idol that distracts us from wholly following Him. Money, relationships, work, hobbies, entertainment - all these things can subtly take God's rightful place.The key to experiencing personal and corporate revival is repenting and removing the idols from our hearts and lives. We cannot fill ourselves with the Holy Spirit while clinging to lesser things. True repentance requires surrendering our idols and realigning our priorities to make God number one.When we throw off idolatry, God can then use us powerfully for His kingdom purposes. We become conduits of His love, vessels to share the Gospel, and witnesses to draw others to Him. Our greatest spiritual impact comes when we are fully submitted to the Lord without competition from idols.May we search our hearts and lives and allow God to reveal any idols. Let us repent quickly and walk in the freedom and power that comes from making God our highest treasure. As we tear down the altars of idolatry, we clear the way for God to bring revival to our personal lives, churches, communities, and nation.Lord, reveal any idols in our hearts. Give us the courage to remove them and make You our greatest love. Fill us fresh with Your Holy Spirit so we can walk in power and be used for Your glory. Revive us personally and corporately as we repent of idolatry.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
A Lullaby For Your Soul by Norman Kissinger #NK #NormanKissinger #RTTBROS #Nightlight A Lullaby for the Soul: Cleansing Your Heart with God's WordPsalm 119:9 KJV. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.Psalm 119:11 KJV Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.King David, in Psalm 119:9, asks a timeless question: How can a young man cleanse his way? The answer, dear friend, lies not just in moments of intense study, but in weaving the golden threads of Scripture into the very fabric of our lives. While deep meditation and cross-referencing are vital pillars, I want to share a simple, yet powerful practice for cleansing your heart: a nightly lullaby of God's Word.Imagine this: as the day draws to a close, and the chaos of the world closes crashing in, you lie down to rest. Instead of surrendering to the void, reach for your phone, tablet, or a trusty audio Bible. Open it to the book of Psalms, a treasure trove of divine whispers and heartfelt cries. Find a calm narrator, one whose voice soothes like a brook over smooth stones. Set the volume low, just enough to cradle your sleepy mind.Now, close your eyes and let the words wash over you. Don't strain to analyze or memorize; simply allow the verses to paint pictures in your mind, to echo in the caverns of your soul. Listen as David sings of hope in the depths of despair, of unwavering faith amidst trials, of gratitude for every breath. These are not mere stories; they are whispers from the Divine, resonating with the truths hidden within your own heart.Even if sleep claims you before the book ends, the whispers continue. The subconscious mind, like fertile soil, receives the seeds of Scripture, nurturing them in the darkness. When you wake, you might not recall every verse, but a subtle shift will have taken place. A newfound calm might settle within you, a whisper of courage against the day's anxieties.This practice, while not a replacement for dedicated Bible study, offers a gentle, ongoing cleansing. It's like tending a garden, where the quiet drip of the night rain nourishes the roots long after the sun has set. The benefits are manifold:Deeper Sleep: Studies have shown that listening to calming narratives before bed can promote deeper, more restorative sleep. And what narrative could be more calming than the soothing voice of God Himself?Strength in Spirit: As the Word seeps into your subconscious, it strengthens your faith, providing a reservoir of resilience to face the challenges of the day.Enhanced Focus: Regular exposure to Scripture sharpens your mind and hones your focus, making you more receptive to God's guidance throughout your waking hours.So, dear friend, tonight, instead of surrendering to the silence, embrace the lullaby of God's Word. Let it wash over you, cleanse your heart, and awaken you to a deeper connection with the Divine. Remember, every verse whispered in the stillness carries the power to transform, to guide, and to fill your days with the radiant light of His love.Go forth, then, and weave the threads of Scripture into the tapestry of your life. Let every night be a gentle cleansing, a whispered prayer, and a lullaby for your soul. In doing so, you'll find your heart cleansed, your spirit strengthened, and your journey illuminated by the ever-present light of God's Word.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

The Gift Of Perspective #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Gift of Perspective"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (KJV)Life is filled with ups and downs, good times and bad. When we're in the midst of struggles, it can be hard to see the purpose or find meaning. Yet God promises that even our most difficult seasons have a purpose. Hard times change our perspective, enabling us to cherish the good moments and see life through grateful eyes.What seemed unbearably cold last week now feels like a heat wave in contrast. The deep freeze was painful, but it shifted my perspective. Now the chill in the air feels like a refreshing breeze, and I'm reminded not to take comforting warmth for granted.In the same way, our trials are gifts from God. They transform how we see our lives, relationships and God Himself. The challenges we face today will equip us to endure storms tomorrow and savor the sonshine. Hardships teach us to be thankful for the everyday graces we usually overlook.The next time you feel like you're barely surviving the cold, remember that spring will come. God uses wintry seasons to develop endurance and gratitude. The difficulties you face are shaping your character and perspective. Allow God to use adversity to open your eyes to His blessings. The Most High can inspire thanksgiving in any circumstance, using all seasons - cold and warm - for our good.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Hearing His Voice Jer 33:3 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Hearing His Voice"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)What an incredible promise! Our loving heavenly Father delights to hear His children's prayers.Let me illustrates this."A 4-year-old boy who was born hard of hearing due to a genetic disorder got to hear his parents and sister speak to him for the first time after undergoing cochlear implant surgery.In a TikTok video posted Feb. 8, the boy, named Sawyer, looks up and starts smiling, clapping and giving out high-fives when he hears spoken words -- a "hi" from his sister and an "I love you" from his mom -- for the very first time. I have literally not seen him smile that big in his whole life," Sawyer's mother Christina Lenglin, of Ontario, Canada, says in the video, referring to her son's reaction. "That's the biggest smile I've ever seen him do." Just as a child hearing his mother's voice for the first time after receiving a cochlear implant, we can find joy and comfort in God's voice through prayer. Though our human ears may not audibly hear His voice, we can sense His presence and guidance when we sincerely seek Him. God longs to reveal "great and mighty things" to those who call on Him. So come boldly to His throne of grace! Pour out your heart to Him. And listen closely for His still small voice.

Blondin Challenge 2 Cor 5:7 #RTTBROS #Nightlight 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Cor 5:7Can you imagine a tightrope stretched over a quarter of a mile and spanning the breadth of Niagara Falls? The thundering sound of the pounding water drowning out all other sounds as you watch a man step onto the rope and walk across!This stunning feat made Charles Blondin famous in the summer of 1859. He walked 160 feet above the falls several times back and forth between Canada and the United States as huge crowds on both sides looked on with shock and awe. Once he crossed in a sack, once on stilts, another time on a bicycle, and once he even carried a stove and cooked an omelet!On July 15, Blondin walked backward across the tightrope to Canada and returned pushing a wheelbarrow.The Blondin story is told that it was after pushing a wheelbarrow across while blindfolded that Blondin asked for some audience participation. The crowds had watched and "Ooooohed" and "Aaaaahed!" He had proven that he could do it; of that, there was no doubt. But now he was asking for a volunteer to get into the wheelbarrow and take a ride across the Falls with him!It is said that he asked his audience, "Do you believe I can carry a person across in this wheelbarrow?" Of course the crowd shouted that yes, they believed.It was then that Blondin posed the question - "Who will get in the wheelbarrow?'Of course...none did.Life's uncertainties may swirl around us, but God's faithfulness stands forever firm. May we reject greed's poisonous waltz, abandon self-sufficiency's delusion, and release worry's crippling embrace, stepping into the confident rhythm of faith as we walk hand-in-hand with our loving Father.Remember, dear brothers and sisters, the dance of life is indeed graceful, and we are invited to lead with trust. So go forth, waltz with faith, and let the uncertainties become steps towards a deeper and more profound relationship with the One who holds the music of our lives in His steady hand.

IDOLS in the heart Rom. 1:18 #NormanKissinger #NK #RTTBROS #Nightlight Idols in the Heart: A Detour from the Divine"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18, KJV). This powerful verse sets the stage for a critical truth: idol worship isn't just about carved figures and pagan rituals. It's a subtle deception, lurking even in the hearts of those who claim faith.Think about it. We live in a world where the evidence of God's handiwork is everywhere – from the intricate beauty of a snowflake to the vastness of the cosmos. As Romans 1:19-20 reminds us, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, even His eternal power and Godhead, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, so that they are without excuse." We know, deep down, that there's a Creator, a higher power, a force beyond ourselves.But here's the crux of the matter: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" (Romans 1:21). We suppress the truth, rejecting God's rightful place in our lives. Instead of seeking Him, we seek substitutes – idols.These idols can be anything that takes the place of God in our hearts. Maybe it's career ambition, material possessions, the pursuit of pleasure, or even the worship of our own intellect or self-image. Whatever it is, when we elevate it above God, we commit the sin of idolatry.It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking, "But my idol isn't a physical statue!" The truth is, the form doesn't matter. The essence of idolatry is the act of turning away from the true God, the one who deserves our worship and gratitude.So, let us be honest. Have we pushed God out of our minds, choosing to live life on our own terms? Have we traded the incorruptible God for fleeting pleasures and earthly pursuits? If so, it's time for repentance.This journey of faith isn't about blind obedience or fear of punishment. It's about recognizing the undeniable presence of the Divine in our lives and choosing to embrace it with open hearts. It's about letting go of our idols, whatever they may be, and turning back to the source of true joy, purpose, and meaning – the one and only God.Remember, dear friend, the path to God is always open. Embrace His grace, seek His forgiveness, and allow His love to illuminate your heart. In doing so, you'll find yourself stepping away from the shadows of idol worship and into the radiant light of His presence.

Called By Name Gen 32:28 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Called By Name"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed." Genesis 32:28 (KJV)What's in a name? When God changes Jacob's name to Israel, He is calling out the new identity and nature He wants to develop in Jacob. Though Jacob was a deceiver, God saw past his sin and called him by the name "Israel," meaning "God prevails." As Adrian Rogers said, "Satan knows your name but calls you by your sin. God knows your sin but calls you by your name."Jacob's old nature was transforming to align with the name God spoke over him. And God wants to do the same work in our lives. As Charles Spurgeon said, "When God means to make a man His own, He usually begins by knocking him down." God knocks down our old nature so that His strength can prevail as He refashions us. When we submit to God's refining fire, He calls us by the new name of His child, saved and redeemed. Though we were sinners, when God looks at us, He sees the righteousness of Christ.No matter what struggles you face today, remember your true identity is found in Him. Do not listen to the lies of the enemy. Listen instead for the voice of your Father, calling you by name. He knows you fully and loves you completely. Walk in the freedom of your new name and nature in Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Crazy Train PS 30:5 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psalm 30:5 KJV)In times of trial and darkness, it can be easy to lose hope. The nights seem to stretch on endlessly, and we wonder if the light will ever return. Yet as Christine Caine reminds us, hope isn't ignoring the darkness - it's remembering that sunrise always comes.No matter how long the night, joy inevitably follows. The sun never fails to rise. God's mercies "are new every morning" (Lamentations 3:23 KJV), reliable as clockwork. He promised that "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5 KJV), and His Word endures forever.So take heart, dear reader! The dawn is coming. This too shall pass. God remains faithful even when our faith falters. Weeping may come in the late watches of the night, but joy comes in the morning. Take comfort in the eternal sunrise of God's love and grace. The darkness is only temporary. Joy comes!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Complete Grace Rom 6:1-2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:1-2 KJV)Louie Giglio's words remind us of a powerful truth: God's grace is not a license to sin, but rather a source of strength to grow beyond our mistakes. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance." True grace empowers us to repent and move forward.We all stumble and fall short of God's perfection. Yet even when we are faithless, God remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). His grace covers our sins when we repent, not so that we may continue in error, but so that we may be transformed by His Spirit to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).Grace is no excuse for complacency. Rather, it propels us forward in our spiritual journey. Forgiveness breaks the power of past sins over us, freeing us to live righteously. God's kindness leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4), compelling us to align our lives to His will. His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).So let us receive God's grace humbly and gratefully. When we stumble, may we turn to Him quickly in repentance, receiving His forgiveness. And may we press on diligently in the path of sanctification, empowered by His Spirit to grow into the image of Christ. His grace is sufficient for us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Tango of Trust: 2 COR 5:7 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Tango of Trust: Learn To Dance with Doubt "For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)Ah, the elusive dance of faith. We pirouette through life, grasping for invisible handholds, trusting in promises whispered on the wind. But what about the stumbles, the missteps, the times our hearts echo with a deafening "what if"? Lysa TerKeurst, with the grace of a seasoned ballerina, reminds us: "Faith isn't the absence of doubt, it's dancing with doubt while trusting God's promises."Picture it: a ballroom bathed in moonlight, the melody a waltz of whispers and uncertainties. Doubt, a nimble shadow, twirls around us, dipping and swaying, its icy fingers brushing our fears. We hesitate, wanting to shrink back into the darkness, but then, a whisper carried on the wind, a promise from the Everlasting One: "Fear not, for I am with you." (Isaiah 41:10)And so, we begin the dance. We spin with doubt, acknowledging its presence, its cold touch on our souls. We acknowledge our anxieties, the questions that gnaw at our confidence. But with each turn, we hold onto the promise, a warm ember in the chill of uncertainty. We find strength in the knowledge that God walks beside us, His hand steady on our backs, guiding our steps even when the music falters.The dance may not be graceful, a clumsy tango of trust and fear. We stumble, we falter, our doubts whispering accusations in our ears. But even in the stumbles, there is beauty. For in acknowledging our vulnerability, in admitting that we don't have all the answers, we open ourselves to His grace, a torrent of love that washes over us, cleansing our anxieties and replenishing our faith.So, let us dance, my friends, let us tango with doubt on God's floor. Let our vulnerability be a testament to our trust, a silent prayer etched in the rhythm of our steps. For in the midst of the swirling shadows, we will find Him, the Light that guides us home, the One who promises: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Idols in America Part 3 Acts 17:22-23 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "And Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you." (Acts 17:22-23 KJV)The intellectuals and philosophers of ancient Athens were renowned for their wisdom and knowledge. Yet, as Paul observed, they remained steeped in idolatry and superstition. Though prideful of their learning, their incomplete knowledge of God led them to erect an altar to an "unknown god" just to cover their bases.Even today, in our modern age of science and technology, many rely more on the limited scope of human understanding than on the infinite wisdom of God. Though we have progressed far in many areas, mankind's core struggle with idolatry remains unchanged. Our sophisticated idols may take different forms, but the sin is the same. Intellectual pride breeds spiritual ignorance.True wisdom comes not from man, but from the fear of the Lord (Psalm 111:10). If we rely only on our own faulty wisdom, we too shall find ourselves worshiping from a place of ignorance. Like the Athenians, even those most learned among us must humble ourselves before the one true God. We must cast down the altars we have built to the idols of self, pleasure, and pride. Then we shall know the truth that sets us free from sin's deadly grip (John 8:32)."But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."

Come Let Us Isa. 1:18 #RTTBROS #Nightlight  Isaiah 1:18 KJVCome now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.The snow falls gently, blanketing the ground in pure, pristine white. Its chill bites at our fingers and noses, yet its beauty dazzles our eyes. The fields become canvases of flawless white, covering over the imperfections of the earth beneath. Just as the snow transforms the land into a scene of splendor, God’s redeeming love can transform our sin-scarred hearts. Our transgressions run deep like crimson dye, but when we come to the Lord, He cleanses us whiter than snow. The grace of God is not deterred by the depth of our sin; even lifelong habits and hurts embedded in our souls are washed clean by the blood of Jesus. Let us come to the Lord with repentant hearts, no matter our deeds. He promises redemption to all who call upon His name. As we gaze at the snowy fields, we are reminded of the power of God’s forgiveness. He exchanges our scarlet sins for righteous robes of pure wool, welcoming us as His spotless children. Truly, though our sins once condemned us, now in Christ we are as white as snow.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Idols In America 3 #normankissinger #NK #RTTBROS #nightlightIsaiah 2:8 in the KJV:Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.Idolatry is a sin that has plagued mankind since ancient times. As Pastor Norman points out, idols originate in the human heart before being expressed through the work of our hands. Anything we elevate above God becomes an idol.While actual carved idols may be less common today, the idolatrous impulse remains. We are prone to worshiping ourselves, putting our desires ahead of God's will. Career ambition, materialism, pleasure-seeking - these modern idols still lead us astray.Examining our lives can reveal these false gods. What do you spend the most time thinking about or pursuing? What commands your money and attention? Even good things like family can become idols if they displace God from His rightful place.The antidote to idolatry is fixing our eyes on Jesus. He alone is worthy of our worship and allegiance. As we behold Him, lesser loves grow dim. A heart filled with Christ has no room for rivals.Idolatry grieves God's heart. He wants us to experience the joy of prioritizing our relationship with Him above all else. When we tear down the altars where we have sacrificed time, talents, and treasures to modern idols, God will bless us.May the Lord give us grace to recognize and renounce the hidden idols of our hearts. As we yield fully to Him, we will find true meaning, purpose, and satisfaction in Christ alone. He created us to worship Him, and we will never be content until He occupies the throne.Let us echo the cry of the ancient psalmist: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Idol worship in America 2 Psalm 106:38-39 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #NK Idol worship in America 2 Psalm 106:38-39Ps 106:38-39And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.Idol worship was a constant struggle for the people of Israel, as we see in Psalm 106. They were continually drawn away to worship the idols of the pagan nations around them - the Ashtoreths, Baals, and Molechs. These idols often demanded horrible sacrifices, even the lives of their own children.This same temptation exists for us today. Anything we value more than God - money, sex, power, comfort - can become an idol that ensnares us. Our culture is overrun with idols. Sexual immorality is everywhere, from movies and ads to the normalization of adultery and premarital sex. The "abortion industry" offers child sacrifice to the idols of convenience and freedom.Like Israel, our idol worship has polluted our land with blood and defiled us. God's judgment awaits nations who forsake Him. Yet there is hope! Israel repeatedly fell into idol worship, but in His mercy, God delivered them when they repented. The prophets warned Israel to turn from idols. We too must heed their warning.As followers of Christ, we must examine our hearts. Do we value anything above God? Career success, popularity, relationships, wealth, pleasure - these can all become idols if not kept in check. Let us repent of the idols in our hearts and in our culture. Pray for revival in our churches and spiritual awakening in our nation. God is patient and longs to forgive and restore us, if we turn from our idols and return to Him.In the end, idol worship destroys those who practice it. Idols promise life but deliver death. Only the one true and living God can satisfy our deepest needs. As Augustine said, "Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee." Let us find our rest, joy, and meaning in God alone. He created us to know and worship Him. May we cast off the shackles of idol worship and live in the freedom of serving Christ.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Transformation 3 Rom 12:1-2 #RTTBROS #NightlightTransformation Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) says "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Paul urges us to embrace positive transformation in these verses. Renewing our mind means bringing every thought captive to Christ. There are some thinking errors that need to be captured. We talked about Deletions where we leave out the good that God has brought into our life and that produces a victim mentality. Another thinking errors is Generalization. Satan uses generalizations to say to you, "You are always failing" "You will never get this right." Understand that generalizations are another of the lies of Satan to attempt to defeat us. Today let's zero in on the thinking error of distortions. Distorted thinking is when you are lieing to yourself and others. You might be telling yourself lies that make you think you are a victim and helpless. You might be lieing to yourself in such a way that you think you are better than others. Any inaccurate, dishonest thoughts process must be evicted from your mind. How you battle lies is truth. The Word of God represents God's truth for your life. Adapt your thinking to God's word and you will be well on the way to dealing with distortions in your thinking.Ask God to make you aware of all the thoughts that are bringing defeat in your walk with God and your Relationship with others. Then ask Him to renew your mind and replace the stinking thinking with God thoughts.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Paul urges us to embrace positive transformation in these verses. There are two roads we can take - degenerative change that will break us down, or generative change that will build us up into who God desires us to be. If we are not intentionally seeking God and renewing our minds according to His Word, then we will automatically be on the path of degeneration.Renewing our mind means bringing every thought captive to Christ. There are some thinking errors that need to be captured. Yesterday we talked about Deletions where we leave out the good that God has brought into our life and that produces a victim mentality. Another thinking errors is Generalization. Have you ever had your child say "Everyone is doing it" that is a generalization to try and excuse their bad behavior. Generalization affects adults as well have you ever told your mate "You always" or "You Never" we tend to use those statements when we are in a fight and want to win at all costs. Satan uses generalizations to say to you, "You are always failing" "You will never get this right." Understand that generalizations are another of the lies of Satan to attempt to defeat us. Ask God to make you aware of all the thoughts that are bringing defeat in your walk with God and your Relationship with others.

There are Three thinking errors that will wreck you and keep your mind from positive transformation.Generalization, Distortion and Deletions. I want to talk about Deletions this is when you leave key details out of the story you are telling yourself. For example this last year was a hard year for our family and I was telling a friend it was a hellish year and I would.be glad to see 2023 in the rear view mirror. My friend said didn't you go in a Cruse this last year with your wife. It hit me like a ton of bricks I was deleting the good things of 2023 so I could focus on telling myself the year had been hellish.What balance can you bring into your thinking by adding back in the things you have deleted from the story you are telling yourself. Tell yourself the truth not just part of the truth. Knowing the truth and living in light of it will set you free.

Idolatry and Witchcraft #Nightlight #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissinger #NK 1 Samuel 15:23 in the KJV:"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king."The focus of this verse is that idolatry is like the sin of witchcraft. Just as witchcraft involves rebelling against God and relying on sources of power apart from Him, idolatry relies on false gods rather than the one true God. Both are examples of stubborn rebellion against the Lord. When we reject God's word and persist in worshiping what is false, we face His rejection.This is a clear call to wholeheartedly follow the Lord, resist idolatry in all its forms, and embrace His word above all else. God desires our full allegiance. Half-hearted obedience is ultimately disobedience. May we not be stubborn toward God, clinging to idols, but instead submit fully to Him, forsaking all rivals to His rightful place in our hearts.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Transfoation Trauma Rom 12:1-2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Transformation TraumaThe catapillar asking the butterfly: "Is it scary?" Butterfly: "It sure is"Catapillar: "Is it worth it?"Butterfly: "It certainly is!"Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) says "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."The process of change and transformation can be scary, but Paul urges us to embrace positive transformation in these verses. There are two roads we can take - degenerative change that will break us down, or generative change that will build us up into who God desires us to be. If we are not intentionally seeking God and renewing our minds according to His Word, then we will automatically be on the path of degeneration.But the good news is that we can choose transformation! God wants to renew our minds and conform us to the image of Christ more and more. As we present ourselves as living sacrifices to God, He will transform us from within. It takes courage to let go of our old ways and be made new, but the result is growth into the people God created us to be.On this morning, may we reflect on areas where our lives need positive change. Let's bring these before God, asking for generative transformation that draws us closer to Him. God loves us too much to leave us as we are. He is always at work, inviting us into His process of change.

The Empty Promise of Idols PS 115:5-8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #normankissingerThe Empty Promise of Idols PS 115:5-8idol worship affecting ministry and life, starting with Psalm 115:4-8 (KJV):"Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." - Psalm 115:4-8Idolatry was a constant struggle for God's people throughout the Old Testament. The idols of the surrounding nations were tempting, yet powerless and worthless before the true and living God. As we enter 2024, idol worship remains a subtle threat to our faith and ministry. Though we do not bow to golden statues as in ancient times, we are prone to prioritizing money, pleasure, and worldly success over wholehearted devotion to Christ.As Psalm 115 warns, those who trust in idols become like them - empty, deaf, dumb, and dead to the things of God. Let us examine our hearts and lives in this new year. Are we seeking first God's kingdom or pursuing temporal idols? Is anything clouding our vision of Christ's supremacy? Do distractions and divided loyalties hamper our ministry?The idols of our culture call us to walk in their ways, but we follow a risen Savior. By God's strength, may we yield no ground to idol worship in 2024. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, He will captivate our hearts and empower our service for His glory.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Record To Remember 1 Sam 3:9 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth”. Adrian Rogers says to Read the Bible with a pencil in your hand, so you are prepared to hear God speak to you, you can preserve the message by writing it down. Don't trust your memory after all a short pencil is better than trusting a strong memoryAs I open my Bible each day, I am reminded that this is no ordinary book. These words contain the very voice of God, whispered into the hearts and minds of the biblical writers so long ago. Yet as Adrian Rogers wisely counsels, I cannot simply read and expect to retain all that God wants to speak to me. I need to come with pencil in hand, ready to capture His message.So I sit with my pencil poised over the thin pages. I pray for ears to hear and eyes to see the truths You want to impart today. Give me understanding of what I read, O Lord. Grant me insight into applying it to my life. May the lead of this pencil preserve Your voice so that I do not forget what You say to me.Speak Lord, for your servant is listening. I am here, pencil in hand, ready to receive Your word and respond in obedience. Use Your living and active word to pierce my heart, to correct and rebuke, to teach and train me in righteousness. Though my memory is weak, with pencil in hand, Your voice can guide me always through the words preserved on these pages. Sharpen my mind, Lord, to understand and live out all You speak. You promise that Your word never returns void but accomplishes Your purposes. So I come with open ears, ready heart and pencil in hand.

Driving A Stick Eph 4:31-32 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven youEph 4:31-32 I came across this powerful story take a few seconds and read it. As I was pulling into work, I was following this car. The sign in the back window says, “Learning stick sorry for any delay.” Knowing this information, I was very patient with their slow shifting, and honestly they were doing pretty well for still learning. Then I asked myself a tough question: Would I have been just as patient if the sign hadn’t been there? I can almost definitely say no. We don’t know what someone is going through. We don’t wear signs that illustrate our personal struggles. You don’t see signs taped to people’s shirts that say, “Going through a divorce”, or “Lost a child”, or “Feeling depressed”, or “Diagnosed with cancer”. If we could read visually what those around us are going through we would definitely be nicer. But we shouldn’t have to see signs and have reasons to treat strangers with kindness. We should do it anyway, whether we know what is going on or not. Whether they deserve it or not.Let’s give everyone an extra dose of patience, kindness, and love.

The Year of Open Doors 29:11 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Year of Open Doors"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)A new year stretches out before us like a blank canvas, full of possibility and hope. The calendar change gives us a chance to reset our gaze from the past to the future, as we stand on the precipice of new horizons. What wonders await us just around the bend?As the new year dawns, let us come before the Lord in prayer. May we lay down our own agendas and ask Him to guide and direct our steps in this next chapter. God sees the full picture while we grasp only fragments. He knows the adventures He has prepared for those who follow Him.In Charles Spurgeon's words, "That God who makes the daybreak to follow the darkness will make your tomorrow to rejoice in the light of His presence." Trust in His perfect plan. Watch expectantly for open doors. He who began a good work in you will carry it to completion.Dear Lord, as we step into a new year, we acknowledge you as Lord over all our days. Show us Your plans and purposes! We want to walk in step with You. Thank you for going before us. Give us wisdom and strength for the journey ahead. You make all things beautiful in their time.

Bitterness Ends Here Matt 6:14-15 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Bitterness Ends Here"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." - Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV)As the old year breathes its last, many of us look back on broken relationships and hearts heavy with unforgiveness. Names and faces we had hoped to forget resurface once again, dredging up pain we thought was far behind us.But Christ has called us to a higher way. Just as He extended lavish grace to us when we least deserved it, so too are we to release those who have wronged us from any obligation. Forgiveness is a choice - a sacrifice of pride on the altar of peace.Won't you join me in letting go of bitterness as we step into the new year? As Corrie ten Boom said, "Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart." I don't know about you, but I'm tired of lugging this resentment around. My shoulders ache from the weight of it. How about you, friend? Isn't it time to shake free from the shackles of the past?The ball rests in our court. By opening our hands in surrender, we can release the hurts and abuses that have kept us hostage for far too long. Jesus paved the way by forgiving us while we were still sinners. Let us extend the same grace, that our hearts may be light and free as we embark on a fresh start.The bitterness ends here. Let us walk into the dawning of a new year with hearts unbound by hatred. The first step is ours to take.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Close Out #RTTBROS #Nightlight  "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecc 3:1As the end of another year approaches, it is wise to take time to reflect and "close the books" on the past 12 months. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Just as a business closes out its financial records at year's end, we too should close out the year spiritually and emotionally.We must close the book on past regrets, failures and sins, seeking God's forgiveness and asking Him to "blot out my transgressions" (Psalm 51:1, 9). We should also close out this year with gratitude, echoing the psalmist's refrain to "forget not all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2). A thankful heart lifts our eyes from the difficulties of the past year to the eternal truths of God's faithfulness and sufficiency.As we tally our spiritual account, we can confidently affirm with Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7). Any shortcomings are covered by God's grace.The new year lies ahead like unwritten pages in a book. Let us follow Isaiah's example and say "Behold, I will do a new thing" (Isaiah 43:19). As we close the books on this past year, may we open our hearts to all God has planned for 2024, trusting in His perfect timing and purposes.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
The Century Lesson PS 90:12 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Century Lesson"12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Psalm 90:12Imagine sitting down with someone who has lived over 100 years. What wisdom and perspective they must have! A survey asked centenarians what they would do differently if they could live life over again. Their top three answers provide a lesson for us all:Relate more. Make relationships a priority. The centenarians said their most meaningful memories were of time spent with family and friends. Don't let busyness crowd out connecting with loved ones.Risk more. The older adults regretted risks not taken more than mistakes made. Don't let fear hold you back from trying new things and pursuing dreams. Step out in faith.Reflect more. Wise elders emphasized the importance of self-examination and learning from experiences. Make time for contemplation and growth. An unexamined life is not worth living.No matter our age, we can apply this century lesson. Value relationships. Take courageous risks. Reflect and learn. May these guide us to live each day wisely and without regret.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Appomattox Appointment PS 46:10 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Appomattox Appointment Psalm 46:10 (KJV) says "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."The Battle of Bull Run was the first major battle of the American Civil War. (There would end up being two battles fought at Bull Run most references are to the first one.) A man named Wilmer Mcean lived close to Manassas where the Battle was fought, in fact shortly after the battle he bought part of the battlefield from the Carter family. Later he decided he wanted to settle somewhere more peaceful so he moved a hundred miles South to Appomattox County.Several years after moving there, in April of 1865, a Confederate messenger completely unaware of McLean’s prior ‘involvement’ in the war, knocked on the door of McLean’s new home and asked if Robert E. Lee might use the house on the following day to meet with Ulysses Grant and sign a formal surrender. McLean reluctantly agreed. Some time later, Wilmer McLean is supposed to have said, ‘The war began in my front yard, and ended in my front parlor.’"Like Wilmer Mclean, who tried to escape the Civil War by moving away from the first battle, we often try to run away from God and the areas of our life where we struggle to surrender control to Him. We put up a fight, resisting His will and trying to do things our own way. But just as the war followed Mclean to his new home, God patiently pursues us in our running. He desires that we stop fighting and know the peace and rest that come with surrender.No matter how far we run, we cannot escape the Lord who wants to free us from the heavy burdens of our sin and self-rule. Like Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant in Mclean's parlor, we must surrender our prideful hearts to our loving Father. When we stop struggling and let God take His rightful place on the throne of our lives, we will find the comfort and freedom we have been searching for all along. He is waiting with open arms to welcome us home.The battle rages on only if we continue waging war in those areas God wants to rule. But when we wave the white flag and submit to the King of Kings, the struggle ceases. We can be still in His presence and know the peace and purpose that come with full surrender.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

A Child Is Born Isa 9:6 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6 KJV)From Jeni Perkins "I love this portrayal of the Nativity. Before the shepherds come rushing in jabbering about an angel choir, before ANYONE shows up with gifts, there’s just Mary, exhausted from child birth, and Joseph, overwhelmed by the task in front of him, and the baby, the baby that changes everything. The quiet beauty of THIS moment stirs my heart every time I look at it. I love the pomp and fanfare of Christmas (and the chaos of family gatherings). I really do! But I cherish the quiet moments to stop and gaze at the baby. I too am exhausted and overwhelmed, and He still changes everything."As we draw nearer to Christmas, let us pause to reflect on the wonder of Jesus' birth. This verse from Isaiah prophesies the coming of Christ centuries before his arrival. Jesus came as a helpless babe, yet he is the almighty God in the flesh. He came to establish his reign of perfect peace and justice. At Christmas we celebrate how Jesus came to redeem us and restore our relationship with God. Just as the Israelites awaited their prophesied Messiah, we too must prepare our hearts to receive Christ anew this Christmas season.As Charles Spurgeon said, "Out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe, came the Lord Jesus, to be born of a peasant woman, in the smallest village of Judah; he lived to minister, to suffer, to die." Christ left behind his glorious home in heaven out of love for us. Though he is the mighty King, he was willing to be born to humble means and suffer greatly so that we could be reconciled to God.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Peace and Goodwill Luke 1:14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight  "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." - Luke 2:14 As we reflect on the timeless message of "peace on Earth, good will to men," let us consider practical ways to cultivate peace and goodwill in our lives, in line with the spirit of the season.1. Cultivating Inner Peace:Start your day with Biblical meditation to center yourself in God's will and cultivate peace.Practice gratitude by keeping a journal and reflecting on the things you are thankful for each day.Engage in activities that bring you joy and peace, such as, worshiping God or spending time in nature, listening to hymns or praise music, or reading inspirational literature.2. Extending Good Will to Others:Actively listen to others and seek to understand their perspectives, even if they differ from your own.Practice random acts of kindness, whether it's offering a helping hand to someone in need, giving a compliment, or simply smiling at a stranger.Forgive those who may have wronged you, and seek reconciliation where possible.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
To Vs. For Eph 4:32 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." - Ephesians 4:32 (KJV)“The key to forgiving others is to stop focusing on what they did to you and start focusing on what God did for you”. Max LucadoIn today's fast-paced and often unforgiving world, it can be challenging to let go of the hurt and pain caused by others. However, Max Lucado's quote reminds us that forgiveness is not about excusing the wrongs done to us, but rather shifting our focus from the hurt to the overwhelming grace and forgiveness we have received from God.Consider Joseph from the Old Testament. His brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy, yet he chose to forgive them. Instead of harboring bitterness, Joseph chose to focus on what God had done for him. He recognized that God had a plan for his life, even in the midst of betrayal and hardship. Ultimately, Joseph's forgiveness and faithfulness to God's plan allowed him to save his family from famine and reconcile with his brothers.In our own lives, we can follow Joseph's example by shifting our focus from the wrongs done to us to the incredible love and forgiveness that God has shown us through Christ. When we remember the depth of God's forgiveness, it becomes easier to extend that same forgiveness to others. As we meditate on God's grace and mercy, let us strive to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving towards one another, just as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
God Makes A Way Isa 43:2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." - Isaiah 43:2 (KJV)In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that when we face challenging situations, God promises to be with us. Just as He made a way through the Red Sea for the Israelites, He continues to guide and protect His children through their trials. While God may not always remove our problems, He assures us that He will make a way through them and walk with us.Throughout history, we find numerous examples of individuals who faced adversity and emerged stronger, contributing to the betterment of the world. One such example is Helen Keller, who overcame the dual challenges of being deaf and blind to become an influential author and activist. Her perseverance and resilience not only transformed her own life but also inspired countless others to overcome their own obstacles.Similarly, the story of Abraham Lincoln, who faced numerous personal and political setbacks throughout his life, serves as a testament to the triumph of resilience and determination. Despite enduring the loss of loved ones, multiple business failures, and electoral defeats, Lincoln persevered and ultimately became one of the most revered leaders in American history. His unwavering commitment to the abolition of slavery and the preservation of the Union during a tumultuous period in U.S. history exemplifies the transformative power of perseverance. Lincoln's resilience and steadfast leadership not only shaped the course of a nation but also continue to inspire individuals around the world to confront their own challenges with courage and fortitude.These examples remind us that while trials may not be removed from our paths, they can serve as opportunities for growth and positive change. As we navigate our own challenges, let us take comfort in knowing that God is with us, guiding us through the waters and fires of life, and ultimately leading us to a brighter future.May we find strength in the assurance that God's presence will make a way through our difficulties, shaping us into vessels of hope and agents of transformation in the world.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Lean IN Phil 3:14 #RTTBROS #NightlightPhilippians 3:14 (KJV) "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."In this powerful verse, the apostle Paul expresses his determination to press on toward the goal of knowing Christ and the power of His resurrection. This verse encapsulates the idea of perseverance and the unwavering pursuit of a deeper relationship with Christ.As we reflect on this verse, it's important to consider the impact of our attachment styles on our relationship with Christ. The anxious attachment style often leads individuals to seek reassurance and validation from others, while the avoidant attachment style can result in a reluctance to fully engage in close relationships, including the relationship with Christ. Both styles can hinder our ability to press on toward the mark in our journey with Christ.In 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV), we are reminded that "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." This verse speaks directly to the anxious attachment style, encouraging us to lean on the power, love, and soundness of mind that come from our relationship with Christ. Instead of seeking validation from others, we are called to find our security in Him.Similarly, in Psalm 46:1 (KJV), we find comfort in the words "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." For those with an avoidant attachment style, this verse serves as a reminder that God is always present and ready to provide the security and closeness that may be lacking in human relationships.In Matthew 11:28 (KJV), Jesus Himself extends an invitation to all, saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This verse speaks directly to both anxious and avoidant attachment styles, offering a place of rest and security in Christ, regardless of our relational tendencies.As we press on toward the mark, let us remember that our ultimate prize is the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Regardless of our attachment styles, we are called to lean into Christ, finding our security, validation, and rest in Him. Let us embrace His love and allow it to transform our attachment tendencies, drawing us closer to Him and empowering us to press on in our journey of faith.
Whisper of Wonder PS. 131:1-2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Ps 131:1-2Weaned from Striving, Nourished by GraceIn a world ablaze with ambition, Psalm 131 whispers a subversive truth: contentment thrives not in chasing the extraordinary, but in savoring the simple. King David, scarred by victories and trials, offers a profound prayer, which in essence says:My heart, Lord, seeks no crown, no mountain climb. Not in grand pursuits, but in Your embrace, I find rest.Like a weaned child, David bids farewell to constant need, to grasping at "things too high." He finds solace, not in worldly achievements, but in childlike dependence on God. Just as a babe nestled in its mother's arms, David's soul seeks comfort in the Divine presence.Imagine a child, eyes wide with wonder, exploring the sunbeams dancing on the floor, the smooth pebble in their palm, the rustle of leaves – a symphony of the ordinary. This is the spirit David invites us to cultivate, letting go of anxieties that cloud our vision and steal our joy.We must "quiet ourselves," not becoming passive, but silencing the internal clamor, the need for external validation. To be present in the moment, where a morning dewdrop on a blade of grass becomes a miracle, a simple leaf, a masterpiece.Remember Jesus' words: "Consider the lilies...they toil not, neither do they spin...Yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." (Matthew 6:28-29)The lilies, unassuming wildflowers, are our model. They don't strive, they don't boast, they simply exist in quiet beauty, drawing life from the unseen. This is the essence of a weaned soul: finding peace in the ordinary, trusting the hand that provides.So, let us shed the burdens of ambition, embrace the childlike wonder within. Let the everyday, the seemingly insignificant, whisper joy. For in these moments, we connect with the source of true richness, with the quiet whisper of God's love reminding us: the greatest treasures lie not in possessions or achievements, but in the simple act of surrender and the gift of a present heart.Open your eyes, quiet your soul, and let the joy of simplicity fill your days.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
GOOD HANDS MATT 14:29-31 #RTTBROS #Nightlight HANDS TO KEEP US FROM SINKING. Matthew 14:29-31 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him…He caught Simon Peter before he went down. His hands are soft, strong, and secure.These are the same hands that fashioned wood in His dad’s shop/wrote in the sand rather than pointing a finger of condemnation at an adulterous woman/touched blind eyes and deaf ears, replaced Malchus’ ear/broke bread enough for a multitude!/in humility held His own nose, allowing John to baptize Him/wiped tears from weeping eyes, including His own at times…and will one day wipe away all tears!/ …formed the heavens and the earth and yet grasped Mary’s finger as an infant…! And it’s the same hand that grasps onto little ones never given the chance to live!…those hands which washed the disciple’s stinking feet later wiped great drops of blood from His brow in the garden, and then were fastened to the cross for you and for me!/it was the power of His hands that rolled the stone away from that tomb/unbelieving Thomas found faith when he saw those nail-scarred hands/those hands waved at the ascension…not saying goodbye, but see you later…and then pointed saying, “until then, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel” and “I go to prepare a place for you with these hands!” And the hands that will receive us home one day.We’ve got every reason in the world to rejoice in the wonderful hands of Jesus…our names are graven on them, no man can pluck us from them!

Aware of His Care #RTTBROS #Nightlight God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)Brother Lawrence's "Practicing the Presence of God" is all about cultivating a constant awareness of God in our daily lives. Here are a few main points:- Developing a posture of humility before God, recognizing that He is the source of all good things.- Practicing gratitude in all circumstances, even when things are tough.- Listening for God's voice throughout the day, in everything from quiet moments to ordinary tasks.- Seeking to honor God in everything we do, seeing all of life as an act of worship.In short, Brother Lawrence encourages us to live with a mindset of constant connection to God, seeing Him in all things and making Him the center of our lives. Here's a daily plan that incorporates insights from all the books we discussed:1. Start the day with a short prayer, expressing gratitude to God for the new day and asking for His presence throughout the day.2. Throughout the day, take short pauses to focus on taking a few deep breaths and simply be aware of God's presence with you.3. Look for moments of joy or beauty throughout the day and give thanks to God for them.4. Before going to bed, spend a few minutes in prayer, reflecting on the day and expressing gratitude to God for His presence.5. Repeat this process every day, and over time, you'll begin to notice a greater awareness of God's presence in your life.It takes practice, but the results are worth it!
The Mamoa Message #RTTBROS #Nightlight Isaiah 42:3 KJV - A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truthIn the bustling world of celebrity encounters, a simple photo captured something far more profound than a fan's excitement. Jason Momoa, known for his imposing stature and Aquaman persona, met a young woman confined to a wheelchair. Rather than pose with her chair in the picture, he offered to lift her up, his gentle strength dwarfing her physical limitations. "I'm a little heavy," the young woman hesitated, to which Momoa replied with a reassuring grin, "That's okay, I'm a little strong."This heartwarming exchange whispers a powerful truth about God's love for us. Like the young woman, we often approach Him burdened by the weight of our past. The crushing guilt of mistakes, the sting of failures, and the shackles of circumstance can make us feel like a heavy, immovable stone. We hesitate, fearing we'll be too much to handle, too broken for His grace.But just as Momoa's strength transcended the woman's physical limitations, God's love knows no bounds. He sees not our weight, but the depths of our pain and the yearning for His embrace. His response to our hesitation mirrors Momoa's: "That's okay, I'm a lot strong."Isaiah 42:3 promises that He will not break a bruised reed, nor quench a smoking wick. In our fragility, He sees resilience. In our flickering hope, He sees the embers of faith waiting to be rekindled. He doesn't demand perfection, but offers His arms to lift us, to carry us through the darkness, and to remind us of the strength He has placed within us.Like the young woman in the photograph, let us open our hearts to His loving embrace. Let us surrender the weight of our burdens, trusting His strength to carry us. In His arms, we will find not just support, but a renewed sense of purpose, a hope that rises above our limitations, and a love that whispers, "Even when you feel heavy, I am a lot strong."So today, release the chains of self-doubt and step into His embrace. Let Him lift you, heal you, and fill your heart with the knowledge that you are never alone, never too heavy, and forever loved. He is the strong hand that will guide you through every storm, and His love is the light that will illuminate your path to a brighter tomorrow.Remember, dear friend, even when you feel like a heavy load, God's love is a lot stronger
A Victorious Spirit: Taking Control in the Midst of StormsProverbs 16:32 sets the stage for our journey today: "He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city." This verse speaks to the immense power we hold within ourselves, the power to control our spirit, even in the face of adversity.Victor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and author of "Man's Search for Meaning," embodies this principle. He faced unimaginable horrors, yet he chose to find meaning and purpose in his suffering. He recognized that even in the darkest of circumstances, he had the power to control his own thoughts and responses. He chose to focus on what he could control, instead of dwelling on what he couldn't.This is a stark contrast to the "victim mentality," which traps us in a cycle of helplessness and resentment. When we view ourselves as victims, we give power to those who have wronged us. We allow them to control our emotions and dictate our narrative. But by choosing to take agency, we reclaim our power. We become the authors of our own stories, and we write them with courage and resilience.Here are some ways we can cultivate a victorious spirit in our own lives:Practice self-awareness. Pay attention to your thoughts and emotions. Become aware of how your internal dialogue affects your external reality.Challenge negative thoughts. Don't accept every thought that comes to mind as true. Question negative narratives and replace them with faith filled thinking.Focus on what you can control. Don't waste energy on things beyond your control. Focus on your own actions, choices, and responses.Practice gratitude. Take time to appreciate the good things in your life, no matter how small. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have.Seek support. Surround yourself with positive and uplifting people who will encourage you and support your journey.Remember, even in the face of hardship, we have the power to choose our response. We can choose to be victims, or we can choose to be victors. The choice is ours. Let us choose the path of power, resilience, and a victorious spirit.Prayer:Dear Heavenly Father, grant us the strength and wisdom to control our own spirits. Help us to see beyond our circumstances and focus on what we can control. May we find meaning and purpose, even in the midst of adversity. May we be victors, not victims, in the battles of life.

Full Court Press #nightlight #rttbros #normankissinger #nkSubmit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7 KJV)In basketball, a full court press is an aggressive defensive strategy that applies intense pressure on the opponent across the entire court. In the spiritual realm, our adversary the devil employs a similar strategy against believers who seek to deepen their prayer life and ministry.My brother and I have endeavored through our online ministry to equip Christians to serve God more effectively. A vital component is cultivating a robust prayer life. As I have focused intently on prayer over the past months, I have faced intensified demonic attacks, for Satan greatly fears and hates prayer. The more we devote ourselves to prayer, the more the powers of darkness will strive to hinder us.Yet we need not cower in the face of spiritual opposition. The Lord has not left us defenseless, but has provided spiritual armor to protect us (Ephesians 6:10-18). Moreover, if we humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6), resisting the devil through faith, he will flee (James 4:7). Though times are dark, we must not lose heart, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). I have seen more prayers answered as I have sought to strengthen my prayer life. Truly God is a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God.So let us press on in prayer, not relenting before the enemy’s attempts to weary us. Through ceaseless prayer in the Spirit, let us stand firm against every scheme of Satan, even as we make supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18). By God’s grace, we will prevail. The kingdom of darkness cannot withstand the fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous (James 5:16).
The Overflow 2 Kings 4:2 #RTTBROS #nightlightThe Overflow: A Devotional on God's Abundance2 Kings 4:2 - "And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil."Imagine yourself in the shoes of the widow in 2 Kings 4. Debt collectors are at your door, threatening to take your sons away. You feel utterly helpless and alone. Yet, in the midst of your despair, God intervenes through the prophet Elisha. He asks you a simple question: "What do you have in the house?""Nothing but a pot of oil," you reply, your voice barely a whisper.But Elisha sees something you don't. He sees a potent symbol of God's overflowing abundance. He instructs you to gather empty vessels and pour the oil into them. Miraculously, the oil multiplies, filling every vessel to the brim. What started as a single pot of oil becomes enough to pay your debts and secure your future.This story is a powerful reminder that God's resources are limitless. Just as the oil overflowed in the hands of the widow, so too can God's blessings overflow in our lives. But often, like the widow, we fail to see the abundance that surrounds us. We focus on our limitations and our lack, blind to the potential that lies dormant within us.Charles Spurgeon once said, "Our need is not for more blessings, but for deeper capacities to receive them." We must first prepare our hearts, like empty vessels, to be filled with God's grace. We must trust in His power and believe that He can provide for all our needs, even when we feel like we have nothing left.Like the widow, we will face trials and challenges in life. These are not punishments, but rather opportunities for God to reveal His faithfulness and provide us with a larger measure of His Spirit. Each new need, each new trial, is a vessel waiting to be filled with His overflowing grace.Adrian Rogers often said, "God never gives you a need without also giving you the seed to meet that need." We must be open to seeing these seeds of blessing in the midst of our challenges. We must trust that God is working in our lives, even when we cannot see the outcome.So today, dear friend, let go of your anxieties and embrace the abundance that God has for you. See your trials as opportunities for His grace to overflow in your life. Ask Him to help you recognize the seeds of blessing that are hidden within your challenges. And trust that He has everything you need to overcome any obstacle and fulfill His purpose for your life.Lord, help us to see You in all our trying situations and to make them vessels to hold more of Your grace.

Cast Sheep PS. 55:22 #RTTBROS #nightlightCast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved" (Psalm 55:22).Cast sheep: Cast sheep is a term used in sheep farming to describe a sheep that has rolled over onto its back and is unable to get up on its own. This can be a dangerous situation for the sheep, as they can become distressed and die within a short period of time if not helped. It's caused by a variety of factors, such as poor body condition, slippery footing, or exhaustion. The good news is that cast sheep can be saved if spotted and helped quickly. The process of helping a cast sheep is called "righting," and it involves rolling the sheep back onto its feet. This requires some skill and practice, but it's an important part of sheep farming. shearing the sheep can actually help prevent it from happening! Shearing reduces the weight and size of the sheep's fleece, which can make it less likely to become cast or stuck on its back. Additionally, shearing can help improve the overall health and well-being of the sheep, as it can reduce the risk of skin diseases, and improve their ability to regulate their body temperature. It's kind of like a makeover for the sheep, not only improving their looks but also their health!As believers we are called God's Sheep and he our shepherd. If we don't unburden ourselves we are in danger of being a "cast sheep." So to combat this God gives us another kind of casting."Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved" (Psalm 55:22). To expand on this, Spurgeon once said, "The man who is full of care is ripe for any sin, but he who has cast his care on God stands securely, neither shall the evil one be able to touch him!" He's saying that when we hand over our worries and fears to God, we can stand firm and find security, no matter what the world throws at us. It's a powerful reminder to put our trust in God and leave our burdens at His feet.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Fickle Feelings Gal 5:22-23 #RTTBROS #nightlightFickle Feelings"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)Our feelings can be fickle things. One moment we feel energetic and happy, the next irritable and tired. But as Christians, we know we cannot allow our feelings to rule our actions. God calls us to live by faith and the Spirit, not by our fleeting emotions.When we feel exhausted, we can still choose to exercise discipline and take care of our body. When a family member rubs us the wrong way, we can still respond in love and patience. When work seems too hard, we can pray for strength and perseverance to finish the task.The fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience - is not based on emotions but rather developed through daily dependence on God. As we walk by faith, abiding in Christ, we receive supernatural power to overcome negative feelings and live out godly actions. Our feelings may suggest one thing, but we can choose to do what is right regardless.The next time you feel too tired, irritated, or overwhelmed, remember - you have the power to act with the fruit of the Spirit despite your feelings. Let your actions be ruled by faith in God, not the emotions of the moment. The victory is found in persevering through hardship, not in giving in to troublesome feelings.

The Deep End 2 COR. 12:9-10 #RTTBROS #nightlightThe Deep End2 Corinthians 12:9-10 KJV - 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strongOne pastor said:"I remember the first time my dad tossed me into the deep end of a swimming pool when I was just a kid. One moment I was standing comfortably in the shallow end with the water up to my waist, and the next I was flailing wildly in water over my head. As I panicked and struggled to keep my head above water, my dad stood nearby and calmly said, "Just kick your feet and move your arms. You'll stay afloat." And to my surprise, he was right. As I focused on the techniques rather than the overwhelming depth of water around me, I found that I could in fact keep myself from sinking."In life, God sometimes tosses us into the proverbial deep end - situations that feel way over our heads. A difficult illness, the loss of a job, family struggles, challenges in ministry work - there are many ways the Lord can put us in a place where we feel like we're drowning. Our natural reaction is often to flail and panic. But God stands nearby, reminding us, "Stay focused on Me and the gifts I've given you. Trust in My strength and sufficiency for you, not your own. And you'll stay afloat."When we feel overwhelmed by the depth of our troubles, we can remember the deep end. God allows those times not to terrify us, but to teach us reliance on Him. He knows that His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Our flailing ceases as we fix our eyes on the Lord and discover the truth - in the deep places, His grace truly is sufficient, His fellowship truly is sweet, and His faithfulness never fails.

Plate Envy Heb 13:5 #RTTBROS #nightlight Plate EnvyVerse: "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." - Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Plate envy, or the feeling of longing for what others have, can often lead us away from contentment and simplicity. In a world that constantly bombards us with images of abundance and excess, it's easy to fall into the trap of desiring more and better things. However, the Bible teaches us the value of contentment and the simplicity of life.In the midst of our desires for what others have, we are reminded to be content with what we have. The verse from Hebrews 13:5 encourages us to let go of covetousness and find contentment in the blessings we already possess. True happiness and fulfillment come from within, not from material possessions or extravagant meals.As we navigate the temptation of plate envy, let us focus on the simplicity and contentment that comes from love, gratitude, and the basic necessities of life. Instead of longing for what others have, let us appreciate the love that surrounds us, the shelter that protects us, and the simple joys that bring genuine happiness.May we find peace in embracing simplicity, contentment, and the enduring love that never leaves nor forsakes us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Gateway Sin PS. 55:21 #RTTBROS #nightlight"The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords." Psalm 55:21Many sins start small and seem harmless on the surface, yet they open the door to far greater evils. Flattery and deceit can be like that. Saying pleasant things to achieve selfish ends may not appear too damaging at first. But these types of “little white lies” pave the way to outright manipulation and abuse. As Adrian Rogers said, “Little Sins add up to Big Sins that lead to Larger Sins and finally to Calamities.”That was the case with the man described in Psalm 55. His words sounded nice but they masked harmful intent, like swords hidden in velvet. What started as “smoother than butter” speech led to discord and strife. Small lies gave way to major deception.We must guard against allowing tiny infractions that don’t initially seem too problematic. They may open a gateway to much worse. As the old adage goes, “Take care of the little sins, and the big ones will take care of themselves.” Nip sinful thoughts and behaviours in the bud before they blossom into grievous iniquity. Don’t be deceived - sweet talk can conceal a wicked heart.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Don't Attend Pro 26:4 #RTTBROS #nightlightDon't Attend Proverbs 26:4, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." This verse advises us not to engage in foolish arguments or respond to a fool in a manner that mirrors their foolishness.In our lives, we often encounter situations where we are tempted to respond to foolishness with our own words or actions. However, the book of Proverbs offers us a timeless piece of wisdom in chapter 26, verse 4 - "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." This verse encourages us to exercise discernment and restraint when faced with foolishness, reminding us that responding in kind only draws us into the same folly.As followers of Christ, we are called to embody wisdom and grace in our interactions with others, even when faced with ignorance or foolishness. Refraining from responding to a fool according to their folly does not mean we remain silent in the face of injustice or untruth, but rather that we choose our words and actions carefully, guided by the wisdom of God.C.H. Spurgeon, the renowned preacher, once reflected on this verse, saying, "It is not needful that we should always answer a fool according to his folly, for he will despise our words; but it is well that we should never answer him in his own way, for that would be to become like him."Let us take Spurgeon's words to heart and remember that our responses to folly should be rooted in wisdom and grace, reflecting the character of our Lord. Instead of being drawn into fruitless arguments or responding with harsh words, let us seek God's guidance in how we engage with those who exhibit foolishness, always striving to emulate the wisdom and love of Christ in our interactions.May we find strength in God's wisdom to respond with grace and discernment, embodying the truth of Proverbs 26:4 in our daily lives.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Broken Crayons #RTTBROS #nightlightBroken Crayons"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." (2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV)Have you ever reached for a crayon to color only to find it broken in half or worn down to a nub? In our disappointment, we tend to cast those crayons aside, assuming they're useless now. However, with just a little more effort, those same broken crayons can still create beautiful artwork.Like crayons, we sometimes feel useless when life has left us feeling broken. We tell ourselves the lie that God can no longer use cracked vessels like us. But the truth is, our broken places, rather than disqualifying us, make room for God's light to shine through more beautifully. The apostle Paul spoke of this paradox, reminding followers of Christ that the treasure of the gospel dwells within imperfect earthen vessels. In other words, broken crayons still color the same.God is the ultimate recycler and redeemer, able to gather up the fragments of our broken dreams and relationships in order to repurpose them into something new. He knows how to take our mess and turn it into a message, using the cracks in our lives to reveal His light within. Our imperfections are not obstacles for an all-powerful God. Rather, they provide an opportunity for His grace, mercy and healing to be shown as sufficient to restore our soul.So when you feel like a worn out, broken crayon today, remember that you were designed to color. Allow God to take your life in all its fractures and flaws, and turn it into a work of art that displays His redemption for the world to see. Even broken crayons still color the same in the hand of the Master Artist.

Trouble Tree #RTTBROS #nightlight Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)I came across this powerful story “I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one-ton truck refused to start.While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward, he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. ‘Oh, that's my trouble tree,' he replied 'I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning, I pick them up again.' 'Funny thing is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before. THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all need a Tree!"The verse from 1 Peter captures the essence of "hanging your troubles on the tree" and asking God to handle them. Just as the plumber cast his work troubles on the tree at home, we can cast all our cares upon the Lord, trusting that He cares for us. The story is a good reminder that even when life gets difficult, we can choose joy and peace through faith in God.

Growing Pains #RTTBROS #nightlight Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend Pro 27:17 Growing Pains God loves us deeply, just as we are. Yet His love also compels Him to mold us into the people He knows we can become by His grace. As Charles Spurgeon said, “God has designed us to grow.” Everything in God’s creation grows and develops, including us.While God cares about our struggles, He cares even more about the character and maturity that can emerge from difficult seasons. He wants to use all of life’s circumstances, pleasant or painful, to stimulate our growth into the stature of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). God is firmly on the side of who you can become in Him.We might prefer comfort over the growing pains that come with change and maturing. But spiritual growth is not optional for the follower of Jesus. Through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, God develops emotional stability, mental acuity, physical discipline, and spiritual vibrancy in us. He uses relationships, trials, teaching, and time in His Word to transform us incrementally into the image of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18).In the King James Version of the Bible, Proverbs 27:17 reads, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend". Some say that the meaning of "iron sharpens iron" is that believers have an impact on each other when they interact. In other words we are on the side of who the other person can become, we are rooting for them to grow and change and we grow right alongside them. Some ways of sharpening one another include: Calling out sinEncouraging each otherLifting one another up in prayerAllowing others to see weaknesses or problem areas.Let's appreciate the people God sends our way who care enough to confront us and help us grow.

Avoid The Crash 2 Cpr 5:7 #RTTBROS #nightlight7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Cor 5:7The following explains how we can gain emotional stability in time of trials and suffering:"While piloting a plane in a thick fog, a pilot cannot be sure of his direction unless he gives full attention to his instruments. When flying through a thunderstorm, the turbulence will throw him about, and the darkness within the clouds will threaten to disorient him. Sometimes he will feel as though he is going up or down or turning around. But he cannot depend on his feelings. Only the gyros can be trusted, so the pilot must hang on to the controls in the turbulence and discipline his mind to concentrate on the instruments while he flies through the storm.The parallel truth for the Christian in troubled times is clear. Undisciplined feelings…can cause a crash unless one keeps himself stabilized by the facts of the Word of God…Every promise in the Word of God is like a gyro giving information to stabilize him in a specific situation…With daily practice one learns not to panic but to believe a specific truth from the Bible fitted for his own unique circumstances. By experience one learns not to fight his feelings, but to look away from them to the “instrument panel” of the Word of God which is utterly dependable.One discovers that if he will just hang on in the worst of the turbulence, no matter how disrupting, his mind and heart steadied by the great truths of the Word and his eyes intently fixed on God Himself, he will eventually break through rain-black clouds to soar once more in the clear, tranquil atmosphere."Gloria Okes Perkins, “Fly by the Instruments,”Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24)In our walk with God, it's easy to get discouraged when we stumble. We take two steps forward in our faith, only to suddenly take one step back into old habits or sin. We pray, read scripture, serve in church, then suddenly fall back into anxiety, anger, or apathy.It's easy to get down on ourselves and wonder if we'll ever make steady progress. But this passage gives us hope. Even when the "good man" falls, he will not be utterly cast down, because the Lord upholds him. God views us not based on a moment of failure, but the overall trajectory of our walk with Him. The word "ordered" also reminds us that it's God charting our path, not our own shaky strength.What do we do when we stumble? First, repent, ask forgiveness, and gratefully receive God's mercy. But dwelling on guilt slows our pace. The best response is to humbly get back on the path, knowing God uses our falls to teach dependence on Him alone. By His strength, one step back only serves to propel us two steps forward as we learn and grow.The next time you take one step back after two steps forward, remember God upholds you. Place your hope in His power, not your own. Keep your eyes on the loving Creator charting your steps. No matter the stumbles on the journey, He who began a good work in you is faithful to carry it to completion. Our falls do not change God's delights or derail His plans when we rely wholly on His hand.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Robbed A Thanksgiving Devotion #RTTBROS #nightlight "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV)The great Bible commentator Matthew Henry lived out this verse after a thief stole his wallet. Rather than rage or despair, Henry responded with grace and gratitude. First, he thanked God that he had never been robbed before. Though now deprived, Henry reflected on years of provision and safety. Second, though robbed of his purse, the thief did not take Henry’s life or possessions; many suffer far worse violations. Third, Henry lost little of value, acknowledging that earthly wealth can disappear quickly. As Job endured much worse calamity yet still praised God saying, “Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21 KJV). Finally, Henry thanked God that he was a victim of robbery, not a perpetrator of it.Charles Spurgeon once preached, “A grateful heart will see good even in the darkest days.” Despite his loss, with grace and wisdom Henry saw blessings to be thankful for. May we emulate his godly perspective, as Spurgeon exhorted: “Come, my heart, begin your hallelujahs...Boast thyself in God...Bless the Lord throughout this day; bless Him while you live.” God uses all circumstances for our growth if we respond rightly.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Episode 23 season 13 Devoted To Prayer #RTTBROS #normankissinger #nightlight #NK If you are involved in ministry in any significant way you will be attacked by the enemy to discourage or distract you. This will happen in a prayer ministry as well. In Acts 6:4 we are allowed to glimpse the importance of prayer in the early Church. Deacons were appointed to do the physical ministry so the apostles could give themselves to the ministry of Prayer and the ministry of the Word. So deepening out prayer life and digging into the Word to minister into the lives of others is paramount. We are better at getting the gospel out but we have lost the art of effective prayer. For me it is easier to preach then to pray. The disciples never asked Jesus to teach them to preach they did ask instruction from him on prayer. What can you change in your schedule to make prayer a priority? How can you spend more time in God's Word.

Found and Loved Luke 15:4 #nightlight #RTTBROS Found and Loved"What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?" (Luke 15:4 KJV)As the weary parent wraps their arms around the lost child, tears of relief and joy stream down their face. Yet there is also a somber recognition that this reunion could have ended differently. We too, like lost sheep, have been relentlessly pursued by our Good Shepherd, who "so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 KJV).As Charles Spurgeon said, "What a blessing that Jesus did not say, ‘I will seek until I find some of my sheep!’" No, he goes after each lost sheep until he finds it, however difficult the search. We have been loved with an intimate and tenacious love beyond measure. Let us then live in wonder and gratitude for the Seeking Shepherd who brings home His lost sheep. As Adrian Rogers said "God demonstrated His love when Christ died for us while we were still sinners." It could have ended differently, but by God's grace we have been found and loved.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Coal Basket Ps119: 11 #nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 119:11 says "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." This verse reminds us that memorizing and meditating on God's Word keeps us from sin.Little Johnny was visiting his grandfather on summer vacation. One day grandpa was reading his Bible like he did every morning. "Haven't you read that book front to back yet?" Johnny asked. Grandpa chuckled, "Come here, I want to show you something."He took a coal basket and had Johnny fill it with water from the creek. Of course, all the water drained out through the loose weave. "Now do it again but faster," said grandpa. Johnny ran and filled the basket, but the water leaked out just the same. After a third try, grandpa asked "What happened to the basket?" Johnny replied, "Well the water didn't stay in, but the basket sure got clean!"Grandpa smiled and said "It's like that with reading the Bible. We may have trouble retaining it all, but meditating on God's word has a way of cleaning out the clutter in our lives." As Gypsy Smith said, "It isn't how many times you've been through the Bible, but how many times the Bible has been through you."The more we read Scripture, the more it washes over us like water through a basket, rinsing away the sin and dust of the world. The psalmist said he hid God's word in his heart to keep from sinning. As Adrian Rogers explained, "The Bible is a cleansing agent and will clean up your life." May we eagerly soak up its life-changing power every day!The Bible renews our minds and transforms us as we soak in its inspiration. Drinking deeply of Scripture keeps the spiritual basket of our soul cleansed. Then we can carry the refreshing water of God's wisdom to quench the thirsty hearts around us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Battle Prayer"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia." - Daniel 10:13 KJVIn our spiritual battles, we often face opposition from forces we cannot see. The prince of Persia withstood the angel bringing revelation to Daniel for 21 days. Though we grow weary in the fight, we must remember we are not alone. God sends His angels to aid us, just as Michael was sent to help the messenger to Daniel.As Adrian Rogers said, "We are in a battle, and we cannot afford to lose this battle. It's a battle for truth, a battle for life, a battle for love, a battle for the family." We must keep praying and fighting, even when the battle seems endless. Surgeon says, "Ten minutes in prayer will save ten hours in effort." Let us spend time daily in prayer, petitioning God for strength and wisdom for the fight.Though the world rages against God's truths, we can stand firm. The battle belongs to the Lord, and He has overcome the world. Our prayers activate heaven to fight on our behalf. Keep praying without ceasing. The victory is assured in Christ.
Understanding The Assignment 1 Cor 2:2 #nightlight #RTTBROS Understanding the AssignmentVerse: "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." - 1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV) In the vast tapestry of stories found within the Bible, one common thread emerges: the heroism of God. From Genesis to Revelation, we witness the protagonist of each narrative giving all glory to God for their triumph over insurmountable odds. As we delve into the depths of understanding the assignment of our faith, we come to realize that the ultimate hero is none other than our Heavenly Father. In the verse from 1 Corinthians 2:2, the apostle Paul declares his determination to know nothing among the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and His crucifixion. This powerful statement sets the tone for our exploration of the Bible's narratives, revealing that the central focus is always on God and His redemptive plan for humanity.Throughout the Bible, we encounter countless stories of individuals facing seemingly impossible challenges. From David and Goliath to Daniel in the lion's den, we witness heroes who overcome adversity not by their own strength, but by relying on the power and intervention of God. These stories serve as reminders that true heroism lies not in human abilities, but in surrendering to God's will. As we journey through the Scriptures, we discover that God's heroes are marked by their unwavering faith and trust in Him. They understand that their accomplishments are not a result of their own prowess, but a manifestation of God's miraculous strength, wisdom, revelation, or healing. From Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to Esther saving her people, each protagonist attributes their success to the power of God working through them.One of the key lessons we learn from these narratives is the importance of humility. God's heroes understand that they are merely vessels through which His glory shines. They recognize that it is not their own abilities or achievements that deserve praise, but rather the goodness and faithfulness of God. This realization leads them to give all honor and glory back to Him.In our own lives, we are called to emulate these heroes of faith. We are to embrace the understanding that our strength, wisdom, revelation, and healing come from God alone. By recognizing and acknowledging His sovereignty, we can navigate through life's challenges with unwavering trust, knowing that He is our ultimate hero.As we meditate on the biblical narratives, let us remember that understanding the assignment of our faith means recognizing that God is the hero of every story. His power, grace, and love are what enable us to overcome life's obstacles. May we, like the heroes of old, give all glory to God for His miraculous work in our lives.

More Alive Jn 11:23-26 #nightlight #RTTBROS More Alive than Everby Dr. Paul ChappellJesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?John 11:23-26One of the greatest and most common fears is the fear of death. Survey after survey shows that dying is dreaded by a vast majority of people. But for those of us who are saved, death holds no terror. The great evangelist D. L. Moody began his autobiography with these words: “Some day you will read in the papers that D. L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal—a body that death cannot touch; that sin cannot taint; a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.”In truth, the more we learn and understand about Heaven, the more we want to go there. There is work for us to do on this earth, but it is not our home. Paul explained the conflict this way: “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you” (Philippians 1:23-24). Because of our salvation, if we experience death, it will merely be the door that leads us into the presence of God for all eternity. When we reach Heaven, everything will be perfect. All of the burdens and heartaches and diseases and infirmities will be gone forever. All of the temptations and besetting sins we have battled will be behind us. We will truly be more alive than ever before.Today's Growth Principle: Death no longer has the power to terrorize a Christian because we know where we are going.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
LIFTER Gal 6:2 #nightlight #RTTBROS "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." - Galatians 6:2 (KJV)We all have burdens to bear. Sorrows that weigh heavy on our hearts, grief that stoops our shoulders. There are days when the road seems too hard, the pain too deep. When we feel like leaners, needing someone to lift us up.But we are also called to be lifters. To come alongside our brothers and sisters and help carry their loads. We fulfill the law of Christ when we make the choice to walk with others in their suffering. When we listen without judging, comfort without condemning, help without lecturing. When we offer our hand in their darkness, speaking hope to their hearts.As lifters, we point beyond ourselves to the God who lifts us all. The One who bore every burden on the cross so we could be free. Who welcomes the weary to bring their burdens to Him. There is grace enough for every leaner, strength enough for every lifter.Today, look around you. See the leaners who need lifting up. Then breathe this prayer: "Lord, show me how to be a lifter." Share His hope. Speak His truth. Bear their burdens with His love. Be the light that lifts their eyes to Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Long Haul Gal 6:9 #nightlight #RTTBROS The Long Haul"Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." - Galatians 6:9 (KJV)It's easy to get impatient with progress. We want to see big results and we want them now. But real, lasting change often happens gradually, through small steps consistently taken over time.Think of a long journey being undertaken on foot. It begins with a single step, then another and another. Mile by mile the destination draws nearer, though it may be weeks or months away. Each day's progress seems tiny compared to what lies ahead. Yet step by step the goal is reached.In our lives and work, we must adopt this same patient persistence. Keep taking those small steps - read a little each day, save a bit each month, help one person at a time. Do not grow weary or lose heart. Your efforts are accumulating, though you may not notice it. Stay the course and in due time you will reap a bountiful harvest.As Adrian Rogers said "What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God." And as Lao Tzu put it: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Keep stepping, friend.

INDEFATIGABLE, 1 Cor. 15:58 #nightlight #RTTBROS Indefatigable"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Cor 15:58 KJV)The word indefatigable means tireless or persisting tirelessly. As Christians, we are called to be indefatigable in our work for the Lord. Even when we face challenges, struggles, or persecution, we must remain steadfast and immovable in doing God's work.As Adrian Rogers said, "The church that is married to the spirit of the age today will be a widow tomorrow." We cannot allow ourselves to grow weary or complacent in carrying out the Lord's work. The labor we do for His kingdom is never in vain.John Wesley advised: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." As indefatigable followers of Christ, we must persist in doing good to others and spreading the gospel message wherever and whenever we can.John R. Mott summed it up well: "Little is much when God is in it." Our tireless efforts for God's kingdom, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, have eternal value when done out of love for Him. May we all strive to be indefatigable for the glory of God.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
The Pep Talk Josh 1:5-6 #nightlight #RTTBROSThere shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. JOSH 1:5-6In our daily lives, a pep talk is when someone gives us a motivational speech to encourage us and build up our confidence when we're facing a difficult task or challenge. The speaker reminds us of our strengths and abilities, assures us that we have what it takes to succeed, and urges us to keep pressing forward even when the going gets tough.This is exactly the kind of pep talk God gave Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua was tasked with conquering fortified cities and battling giants like the Anakites, not an easy job by any means! But God knew Joshua had what it takes. He reminded Joshua of His promise to be with him and never leave him. God assured Joshua of His strength and power that would help him succeed. This pep talk from the Lord encouraged Joshua to boldly lead with courage, knowing God would give him victory if he relied on Him.When we face modern day "giants" like difficult problems at work, strained relationships, or challenges in our health, God still wants to give us His pep talk. Through His word, He reminds us of His faithful presence and strength. He assures us that if we trust in Him, we can conquer the obstacles before us. Be encouraged! With God on your side, you have what it takes to slay your giants and inherit every promise.

The Circus Phil 2:3 #nightlight #RTTBROSPhilippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.Katharine Hepburn’s childhood, in her own words.“Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally, there was only one other family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. The way they were dressed, you could tell they didn't have a lot of money, but their clothes were neat and clean.The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, animals, and all the acts they would be seeing that night. By their excitement you could sense they had never been to the circus before. It would be a highlight of their lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You're my knight in shining armour." He was smiling and enjoying seeing his family happy.The ticket lady asked the man how many tickets he wanted? He proudly responded, "I'd like to buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets, so I can take my family to the circus." The ticket lady stated the price.The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, the man's lip began to quiver. Then he leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady again stated the price.The man didn't have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?Seeing what was going on, my dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill, and then dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father bent down, picked up the $20 bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket."The man understood what was going on. He wasn't begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation.He looked straight into my dad's eyes, took my dad's hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied; "Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family."My father and I went back to our car and drove home. The $20 that my dad gave away is what we were going to buy our own tickets with.Although we didn't get to see the circus that night, we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.That day I learnt the value to Give.The Giver is bigger than the Receiver. If you want to be large, larger than life, learn to Give. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.The importance of giving, blessing others can never be over emphasised because there's always joy in giving. Learn to make someone happy by acts of giving.”~ Katharine HepburnOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
911 Jer 33:3 #nightlight #RTTBROSCall unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest notThe book of Jeremiah contains many encouragements from God to His people. In chapter 33 verse 3, God invites His followers to "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." This has been nicknamed "God's phone number" because it is an open invitation to connect with Him, ask questions, and receive wisdom.When we are going through difficult times, God wants us to turn to Him. He cares about our problems and wants to guide us. Calling out to God in prayer is like dialing a direct line to speak with Him personally. He promises that when we do this in faith, He will answer and reveal things to us that we could not know on our own.Prayer is powerful because it taps us into the knowledge and perspective of an all-knowing, all-loving God. He sees the full picture when our vision is limited. He knows what lies ahead when the future is uncertain to us. God's vantage point is far greater, like the difference between seeing from the valley floor compared to seeing from the summit of a mountain.God also wants to reveal more of Himself to us when we seek Him in prayer. As we build a relationship with Him, He shows us more of who He is. The deeper our connection with God, the greater our awareness of His presence and work in our lives. Talking and listening to God is the pathway to knowing Him in a personal, intimate way.The next time you are facing uncertainty or need wisdom, remember God's open invitation in Jeremiah 33:3. Call out to Him in prayer with your questions and concerns. Wait patiently for His answers as you reflect on His Word. Expect Him to reveal His loving guidance to you in His perfect timing.Jeremiah 33:3 gives us unlimited, direct access to speak with the all-knowing Creator of the universe. What an incredible privilege prayer is! God is eagerly waiting for us to call on Him so He can reveal His truth and love to transform our lives in amazing ways.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Play Favorites Rom 2:11 #nightlight #RTTBROSPlay Favorites "There is no respect of persons with God." (Romans 2:11 KJV)It's easy to want God to treat us like a favorite child - to bend reality for our comfort and convenience. But Scripture tells us clearly that God does not play favorites. He cares more about our character than our comfort.God wants what is best for each of us, and often that involves challenges that shape our faith and reliance on Him. The easy road rarely leads to growth. When we go through trials, we can be assured that God has allowed these not because He loves us any less, but precisely because He loves us so much.Our calling is not to demand God's favor, but to live for His glory. Surrendering our will to His perfect plan requires trust that He sees a bigger picture. God may not change the circumstances, but He can change us through the circumstances. The more we yield to Him, the more He will shape us into Christ's image - His true heart's desire for each of His children.On this day, may we rest in the Father's unbiased, unwavering love, trusting that He knows exactly what we need to become all He has planned for us to be. Our circumstances are not a reflection of His love, but His love can shine through any circumstance if we let Him work in us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Growing Pains #nightlight #RTTBROS #normankissinger #NK"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18 (KJV)Regardless of the chaos happening around us, our first responsibility as Christians is growing in our relationship with Christ. When Peter wrote this verse, he was referring to end times and trials. Yet his solution was not to focus on external circumstances but to grow internally in grace and knowledge of Jesus.Grace comes through humility and surrender to God. When we admit our weaknesses and rely fully on Him, He gives us the grace to follow Him. Knowledge is gained by studying Christ and developing maturity in our faith. But both require an intentional investment of time seeking the Lord rather than being distracted by problems around us.Even for non-believers, personal growth is often the answer to life's issues. Secular counseling encourages self-improvement strategies. But as Christians, we have access to a supernatural Helper who transforms us from within. He can bring peace and stability no matter what storms rage without.The key is cultivating intimacy with God. By praying, studying the Word, fellowshipping with other believers, and practicing spiritual disciplines, we deepen our relationship with Him. Our trials become opportunities to know Christ better, developing godly character, wisdom, and endurance.As the world grows more troubled, we must firmly anchor ourselves in Jesus. He reminds us that trials are temporary but staying close to Him brings eternal rewards. When we seek God first, external pressures and demands become secondary. Our focus shifts from anxiety over circumstances to awe of the One who holds the universe in His hands.Let's follow Peter's advice. No matter how chaotic the world becomes, keep pursuing personal growth in the grace and knowledge of Jesus above all else. He will fill us with His peace and use our lives to glorify Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Sneak Attack 2 Cor 2:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROSOvercoming Temptation's Sneak Attack"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." - 2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV)Ol' slewfoot sure has some sneaky strategies when it comes to temptation, doesn't he? That devil loves to mess with our thought lives first, getting our minds all wrapped up and tangled before he springs the physical trap. As Martin Luther used to say, "you can't keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair." Temptation often starts as a little thought that don't seem so bad. But left unchecked, those thoughts become a stronghold, softening us up for the real attack.Take lust, for example. The temptation begins as a wandering eye and sinful imagination. But soon those impure thoughts pave the way for far worse transgressions. As Adrian Rogers would say, "what you watch is what you become." The thought life is ground zero in the battle against temptation. If we allow the serpent's seeds to take root in our minds, the fruit will be rotten, for sure.But don't get discouraged, child of God. The old preachers used to say "sin will keep you from the Bible, or the Bible will keep you from sin." Fill your mind with the Word and wisdom of the Lord, and it'll crowd out the enemy's schemes. Stay vigilant against those sneaky thought-traps and you'll avoid the snares that follow. We may not be ignorant of Satan's devices, but we sure can be informed and prepared through Scripture. Don't let down your guard, folks. Temptation is always lurking, ready for a sneak attack. But with the Holy Spirit's help, we can spot those fiery darts coming from a mile away and stomp them out for good! Amen?

Wounded Or Wise James 1:1-5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:1-5Whenever something hurts you you have a choice you can either become wounded or you can become wise. Think of Joseph here in the Old Testament he was the favored son of his father but hated of his brothers because of that. As a result of this negative Dynamic Joseph ended up being severely mistreated by his brothers he was beaten put into a pit sold into slavery and even within Egypt he suffered at the whims of others. He had a choice he could either become wounded or wise he chose wisdom and in so doing he saved the nation that he was living in from a famine. So the wicked thing that was done to him was transformed into a life-saving Act of God.In life there's no shortage of painful situations. Our choices are the same as Joseph's choices we can either choose to be wounded or to be wise we can allow the pain to make us bitter or make us better we can either be a victim or a victor depending on how we choose to view the pain inducing incident in our lives.I think maybe the practical application to this concept is when we find ourselves confronted with pain is to ask different questions. For example we tend to ask why me, which is normal to feel when pain strikes. Instead we need to find out what is God doing in this situation. So a better question might be God what should I do next, how can you get great Glory out of this situation?Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Master Is There JN 14:1-2 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Master Is There"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:1-2 KJV)Death is a difficult and frightening concept for many. The unknown can create anxiety. Yet as Christians, we can find comfort in knowing that Jesus has prepared a place for us and conquered death so that we may have eternal life with Him.A sick man turned to his doctor as he waspreparing to leave the examination roomand said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tellme what lies on the other side." Veryquietly, the doctor said, "I don't know ...""You don't know? You're a Christian Man,and don't know what's on the other side?"The doctor was holding the handle of thedoor; on the other side came a sound ofscratching and whining, and as he openedthe door, a dog sprang into the room andleaped on him with an eager show ofgladness. Turning to the patient, thedoctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He'snever been in this room before. He didn'tknow what was inside. He knew nothingexcept that his master was here, and whenthe door opened, he sprang in without fear.I know little of what is on the other side ofdeath, but I do know one thing ... I knowmy Master is there and that is enoughThe story about the doctor and his dog illustrates this well. The dog bounded into the room, overjoyed to be with his master again. He didn't know what was inside, only that his beloved owner was there.Similarly, we may not know everything about what lies beyond this life, but we know our Savior is there. His presence ushers us into paradise with Him when we pass on from this world. What a wonderful truth! Jesus defeated death and opened the way to eternal life. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As His followers, we can trust Him completely.No matter what uncertainties we face, we can cling to Christ. His love and sovereignty are unshakable truths. He is preparing a place for us, and that is enough.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
My Sins Are Gone #Nightlight #RTTBROSby Dr. Paul ChappellWho is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. Micah 7:18-20The crew members of the British fishing boat Galwad-Y-Mor had no hint of trouble. The only unusual thing they noticed was extra tension on the line as they pulled in their crab traps, but they hoped that meant the traps were full. Instead, a huge explosion rocked the boat. The seven men escaped with their lives, although several suffered serious injuries, when the boat sank due to the damage it suffered. The Marine Accident Investigation Board determined that the explosion was the result of “old munitions on the seabed.” The boat had accidentally caught an old mine, and it blew up as they pulled it toward the surface. The past had not stayed hidden beneath the sea.That never happens with our sins. When God places them in the depths of the sea, they never resurface. There may be consequences and effects of sin that linger, but the sins themselves are buried where they will never be brought up against us again. When the devil accuses us, we have a defense attorney who has already paid the price for those sins. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). His faithfulness ensures that our sins can never be placed back on our account or held against us again. They are in the sea for good.Today's Growth Principle:We should never let guilt or shame over past sins that we have confessed keep us from enjoying fellowship with God.
Not A Time To Play Catch-up #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)It's easy to ignore our relationship with God when life seems to be going smoothly. We get busy with work, family, hobbies - all good things, but things that can distract us from spending quality time with the Lord. Just like students who don't study throughout the semester try to cram the night before the big test, we often try to cram in time with God when a crisis hits. But that's not how strong relationships are built.God desires consistency and perseverance in our walk with Him. When we regularly spend time praying, reading the Word, worshiping, and serving, we build spiritual strength for the tests life will bring. Just as athletes train daily, not just before the big game, we need to make our relationship with God a daily priority.Let's commit to seeking the Lord each day, not just when trouble comes. If we wait upon Him continually, He will renew our strength, and equip us to not just survive life's trials but to thrive and glorify Him through them. Consistency now prepares us for the tests ahead.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Fairest LORD Jesus #Nightlight #RTTBROSCorrie ten BoomFor one year, she found herself stuck in a refrain of three words. “No,” “Yes,” and “Corrie,” was all Cornelia Ten Boom could say after suffering a stroke. For two months she lay in a coma, until she slowly resurfaced, aware but paralyzed. Her third word, “Corrie,” was the name of one of her daughters who would go on to be known as a heroine during World War II and the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.Corrie and her family hid Jews within the walls of their home and became ringleaders in the underground movement to protect the Jewish people. It was work for which her family would be thrown into prison, and later, concentration camps. It was a mission her father and sister would ultimately die for. But 20 years before all of this, long before the German invasion, Corrie’s sister, Nollie, was to be married.In her memoir, The Hiding Place, Corrie writes about the radiance her mother shone that day as Cornelia was helped into the pew by her daughters. Corrie wrote she could imagine no one present would have guessed the gracious and smiling woman in the front pew could neither walk nor speak.The Ten Boom daughters chose to close the wedding service with their mother’s favorite hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus. As Corrie stood in the pew to sing, she heard an astonishing sound from behind her.“Behind me in the pew,” Corrie recounted, “Mama’s voice was singing too. Word after word, verse after verse, she joined in, Mama who could not speak four words, singing the beautiful words without a stammer. Her voice which had been so high and clear was hoarse and cracked, but to me it was the voice of an angel.”The same Jesus whose first miracle took place at a wedding in Cana was carrying out another wedding miracle in a Netherlands’ church nearly 2,000 years later.Four weeks later, asleep with a smile on her face, Cornelia Ten Boom went home to Jesus. After the miracle at the wedding, Corrie shared the family had hoped, in the words of Fairest Lord Jesus, they were witnessing the recovery of her mother. “But the words she had sung she was not able to say, nor did she ever sing again. It had been an isolated moment, a gift to us from God, His own very special wedding present.”The same God who wrote Cornelia Ten Boom’s story has written ours also. He created us to know Him and ourselves better as we sing of His goodness. Time and again, as we sing His praise, we are reminded of the miracles He has done from eternity past to our present-day lives. Without a stammer, we find our voice and we use it to proclaim the name of a God who is always good and always near. We can sing, along with Cornelia Ten Boom and a congregation of stunned, teary-eyed witnesses,“Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all natureO thou of God and man the SonThee will I cherish, Thee will I honorThou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crownOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Targeted Scripture Intersession #RTTBROS #Nightlight #Normankissinger NKHow to pray the scripture over the life of People in your sphere of influence
Content 1 Tim 6:6 #Nightlight #RTTBROSBut godliness with contentment is great gain." (1 Timothy 6:6 KJV) As believers, we know that true contentment does not come from our earthly possessions or circumstances, but from Christ alone. Yet how often do we find ourselves discontent, grumbling and complaining about our lot in life?When adversity strikes, when plans unravel, when discomfort abounds, our natural reaction is frustration and discontentment. But Scripture urges us to adopt a different perspective. The apostle Paul wrote, “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” (Philippians 4:11 KJV) Though Paul endured beatings, imprisonment and shipwrecks, he maintained a spirit of contentment, knowing that his true treasure was in heaven.As citizens of God’s kingdom, we can experience contentment despite our circumstances. When hardship comes, we can say with conviction, “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear.” (Hebrews 13:6 KJV) When plans shatter, we can say with faith, “Thy will be done.” When want seems near, we can say with assurance, “My God shall supply all your need.” (Philippians 4:19 KJV)True contentment is not circumstantial, but spiritual. It springs from a heart rested in the loving sovereignty of God. It believes the promise, “All things work together for good to them that love God.” (Romans 8:28 KJV) Therefore, may we set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:2 KJV) As we abide in Christ, we can experience godly contentment regardless of our earthly circumstances.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
What We Need Matt 6:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROSAdrian RogersGod Always Answers with What We Need“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.”MATTHEW 6:8Ponder ThisHave you ever asked God for something and didn’t get it, but later your eyes were opened and you thanked God for that unanswered prayer? This is a silly illustration, but when I was a kid, I saw an old car that was being sold for $125, and I prayed for God to give me the money to get it. God didn’t answer my prayer. Somebody else got that car, the motor fell out of it, and I had to thank God that He did not answer that prayer. You see, prayer may be specifically denied. It may be strategically delayed, and it may be significantly different than you expected.On a more serious note, I once fasted and prayed for something and did not receive an answer from God. One day, God spoke to me. He said, “Adrian, I heard your prayer a long time ago. You’re asking me to do something that I’m not going to do. You’re asking me to reach in and change somebody’s heart against that person’s will, and I don’t operate that way. But Adrian, I know the need of your heart. I know what you want. I know what you need. And your prayer is heard.” As I look back, I see how clear that was and how great our God is. If God doesn’t give us what we ask, He will give us something better and sweeter than we ask, if we ask Him in the wonderful name of Jesus.When in your life have you wrestled with unanswered prayers?Who can you remind of God’s love and of His ability and faithfulness to answer prayer?Practice This*Encourage someone you know who is wrestling with unanswered prayer. Ask your friend how he or she is doing and really listen. Then remind that person that God hears and will do exactly what is needed!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Sheltered Nahum 1:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS“The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Nahum 1:7Hard times will come, but God is our stronghold, as Adrian Rogers declared: “Regardless of how steep the cliff, how sharp the thorns, or how dark the valley, our faithful Lord is walking with us every step of the way.” We can trust God to uphold us in every troubleAs we start a new day, let us rejoice and be glad in it, for this is the day the Lord has made. "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24 KJV). God is inviting us to partner with Him to make this day count for eternity. As Max Lucado reminds us, "God's desire is to be your stronghold and your peace. He has strategically placed you where you are to reflect his wonderful light."When challenges arise, let us not despair but remember God is still on the throne. As the late preacher J. Vernon McGee said, "Don’t forget that God not only reigns, but He overrules. He is able to take that which seems to be a defeat and turn it into a victory." We can have hope no matter our circumstances. "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance" (Psalm 42:5 KJV).God sees all we are facing today and cares deeply. "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7 KJV). Max Lucado reminds us of God's tender love: “He will calm your storms and guide your ship to the harbor. Give him the sails of your heart and let him chart the course.” Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, our faithful Friend.Even in the valley of the shadow of death, God is with us, as the great preacher Charles Spurgeon proclaimed: “Do not despair because the enemy seems to have power over you...Though darkness surrounds you, the darkness cannot shut Him out." We have no need to fear. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4 KJV).As we close in prayer, thank You Father for being with us and for giving us the victory through Christ Jesus. "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57 KJV). May we walk in faith and perseverance throughout this day.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
I Adulted by Dr. Paul Chappell #nightlight #RTTBROS"I Adulted"by Dr. Paul ChappellAnd I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?1 Corinthians 3:1-3Every year new words come into the language to explain or identify trends and changes in society. One of the relatively recent new words is “adulting.” It is used mostly by young adults to identify ways in which they are acting grown up and responsible. You can even buy “I Adulted” wall calendars. Each one comes with stickers you can place on different dates to mark these events. Some of the stickers that come with the calendar are: I paid a bill on time, I cooked a meal, I kept a secret, I took a shower, I did the laundry, I put away my phone, I matched my socks, and I only took one selfie. The idea of celebrating such things as milestones strikes most Baby Boomers as immature. That's what we were taught to do growing up, and that's what we do everyday—even without getting a sticker for it.But spiritual adulthood is something that should be cultivated and celebrated. We are not meant to remain as baby Christians. We are commanded to grow and mature and become more like Jesus. It is shameful for someone who has been saved for years to still be a childish Christian. “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat” (Hebrews 5:12). Our world desperately needs Christian men and women who are full grown adults in their faith to stand against the rising tide of evil around us.Today's Growth Principle:If we devote our hearts and minds to the Word of God and prayer, our faith will strengthen and grow.
The Light in the Room#RTTBROS #nightlight" that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." (Proverbs 18:24)When some enter a room, they seek to draw all attention to themselves by declaring "Here I am!" But the wise focus not on themselves, but on others. They look into the eyes of friends old and new and rejoice, "There you are!"This outward focus fills a room with light. It builds bonds of fellowship and kindles love between kindred spirits. The glow from such a heart warms all it touches, making the greatest difference in a cold world. For when we truly see and appreciate others, we reflect the light of heaven.The humble care more about connecting than collecting praise. They'd rather build up than showboat. And their reward is rich fellowship and deep joy, for in shining light on others, their own path is lit.What a profound impact when we turn our gaze from mirrors to windows - from me to thee! The light we let into our hearts is the light we let out. May we live with eyes wide open to see and appreciate the gifts in others. For by truly seeing people, we walk in the light."Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Power Or Prison PS. 27:1 Isa 26:3 #Nightlight #RTTBROSYour Perspective is your Power or your Prison":"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1 KJV)"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Isaiah 26:3 KJV)Our perspective shapes our reality. The way we view a situation or circumstance determines whether it will empower or imprison us. As John Maxwell says, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." When we see life through the lens of faith in God, we gain an uplifted perspective.With God as our light and salvation, we have no need to fear. When our minds stay fixed on Him, we have perfect peace regardless of the storms around us. His presence lifts us above the waves of worry and doubt. The Lord gives us strength, courage and stability when we trust in Him.Even in the darkest valleys, we can rejoice that God remains sovereign. He walks with us through every challenge. As Chuck Swindoll encourages, "We must view life through the windshield, not the rearview mirror." The past is gone, the future unwritten. This moment is a gift, and our perspective determines whether we embrace it in fear or faith.Our minds are powerful tools. What we focus on expands. By choosing gratitude and praise, we break free from victim mentality and limitations. God promises to renew our minds and transform our perspectives (Romans 12:2). Freedom comes when we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).Lord Jesus, lift our eyes beyond the seen realm. Empower us to view life through the vision of faith, hope and love You give. Transform our perspectives so that we use our minds to bless others, walk in peace, and stay rooted in Your joy.

Laying Down Our Burdens PS. 55:22 #Nightlight #RTTBROSLaying Down Our Burdens"As a camel kneels before his master to have him remove his burden at the end of the day, so kneel each night and let the Master take your burden." This quote by Corrie ten Boom beautifully captures how we can lay our burdens at the feet of Jesus each night. Just as a camel is relieved when its heavy load is removed, we too can feel the weight lifted when we give our cares and worries to God."Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Psalm 55:22 KJV) This verse reminds us that we don't have to carry our burdens alone. God wants us to cast them on Him because He cares for us. He will sustain and uphold us when we feel weary and overwhelmed.Too often we try to fix everything ourselves and end up anxious and sleepless as our minds race. But God never intended for us to carry it all ourselves. He wants us to learn to kneel in prayer and surrender it to Him, trusting that He is in control. As we kneel humbly before God and lay down the things that are weighing us down, we can experience His peace that passes understanding.What burdens do you need to lay down tonight? Is there a relationship that is causing you turmoil? Do you need to release your frustration over a situation at work? Are you feeling anxious about the future? Take it all to the Lord in prayer. Pour out your heart to Him and then leave those burdens at the cross. You may need to consciously surrender them day after day, but keep taking them back to God until you experience release.Just as a camel's master lovingly removes the heavy loads, your Heavenly Father wants to unload the burdens of your heart. He longs to give you rest. As you kneel in His presence, feel His peace begin to surround you. Let Him lift those weights and give you freedom. You don't have to carry them anymore.

Meet Laban Gal 6:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROSOver and Over We Meet Our Laban"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7, KJV)My friend, life has a way of coming full circle. The difficult people we try to escape have a way of finding us again. Just ask Jacob. He fled from his deceitful uncle Laban, only to have Laban chase him down. For you cannot outrun the harvest you have sown.Jacob deceived his father and stole his brother's blessing. Years later, his uncle Laban tricked him into marrying the wrong woman. Jacob reaped deception for the deception he had sown. Yet God was not done teaching Jacob this lesson. Even after fleeing from Laban, he was confronted by him again.What we sow, we will surely reap. The lies we tell will be repaid with lies told against us. The cheating we do will come back in the form of cheating done to us. As sure as day follows night, our actions - good or bad - set in motion a harvest.So if life has brought you back around to the same difficult relationships, do not be surprised. Consider it a divine appointment, an opportunity to break free from an endless cycle of sowing and reaping. Make the choice not to retaliate. Break the chain. Stop sowing the wind, lest you keep reaping the whirlwind.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Change Acts 9:20-22 #Nightlight #RTTBROSChange by Dr. Paul ChappellAnd straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.Acts 9:20-22The life of John Newton underwent a remarkable transformation. The man who had once been a slave trader became a leading advocate for the abolition of slavery. The man who had been profane and had no time for God became a leading preacher. Newton wrote, “I am not what I might be, I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I wish to be, I am not what I hope to be. But I thank God I am not what I once was, and I can say with the great apostle, 'By the grace of God I am what I am.'”Some of us, especially those who were saved at a young age, do not have a testimony of such radical outward change as Newton's, but everyone who has trusted Christ as Saviour should be marked by a new purpose in life. Where Saul had once led the persecution of the church, after he met Jesus on the road to Damascus, he became a powerful and effective preacher. Those who heard him in those early days did not understand how that change had come about, but that is what Jesus does.We are not saved for our own benefit, although we do benefit greatly. We are saved to be part of God's work in this world. We are saved to tell others about the grace we found. We are saved to be different than we were before. The same God who saves us equips and empowers us for effective ministry for Him throughout our lives.Today's Growth Principle:God powerfully transforms the lives of everyone who trusts Him for salvation.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Listening Impaired Rom 8:14 #Nightlight #RTTBROSListening Impaired"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (Romans 8:14 KJV). As children of God, we have the incredible privilege of being led by His Holy Spirit. When we accept Christ, the Spirit comes to dwell within us, to guide, convict, and shape us into the image of Jesus.Yet this guiding is gentle, not forceful. As Adrian Rogers says, “The Holy Spirit leads you but He never drives you.” He points us to truth, but doesn’t push. He convicts us of sin, but doesn’t condemn. As Lucado notes, “The Spirit bids the bumblebee come to the flower but does not drag it there.” We must listen and cooperate with His leading.As one pastor points out, “A stride forward by the Spirit may take you down trails you never dreamed you could travel and toward joys you never thought possible.” When we let the Spirit guide, remarkable things happen. But we must take those steps, prompted by His still small voice.This manifests daily when we choose prayer over worry, patience over anger, and love over selfishness. We know and grow through listening to the Spirit. Yet sometimes we ignore or dismiss His voice. We let busyness, laziness, or stubbornness crowd out time for the Spirit.Let us have ears to hear.We all need more of the Spirit’s guidance. When faced with decisions, let’s pray first. When convicted of sin, let’s repent. When prompted toward action, let’s obey. As we stay in step with the Spirit, He will lead us to life and purpose beyond our wildest dreams.

(Joshua 24:15 KJV)Technology can be used for good or evil. The internet and social media are powerful tools that can either draw us closer to God or pull us away from Him. As Christians, we must be intentional about how we use these technologies.Will we use our time online to serve the Lord and make disciples? Or will we use it for mindless entertainment and hollow relationships? The choice is ours.We can share the Gospel and biblical truth online. We can have meaningful conversations and build each other up in Christ. Or we can get lost in vapid memes, political rants, and the comparison game. How we steward our technology matters."Romans 12:2 KJV - 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.Let's choose today to be digital missionaries! The harvest is plentiful. People from all over the world are just a click away. God can use us powerfully if we submit our online lives to Him.The Lost are waiting. The hurting need encouragement. Seekers desire truth. Will we rise to the occasion and serve the Lord online? I pray we all do.Ephesians 2:10 KJV For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Where Our Help Comes From PS. 121:1-2 #Nightlight #RTTBROSWhere Our Help Comes From"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2 (KJV)As the psalmist looked up to the hills surrounding Jerusalem, he was reminded of an important truth: while the hills provided a sense of security and protection for the city, his ultimate help and deliverance came from the Lord. Though we may rely on people, plans, or possessions, none of these can offer the complete and eternal help that we find in God alone.In times of trouble and uncertainty, it's easy to frantically look for help in different places. We seek help from friends or family, we make plans thinking our schemes will save us, we trust in our bank accounts believing our money will pull us through. But though these things may provide some assistance, our true help can only come from the Maker of heaven and earth. The hills will crumble, friends will fail, plans will falter, riches will fade. But God remains steadfast forever.As Adrian Rogers said, "We have a tendency to look to the hills - to people, to governments, to medicines, to jobs. Yet ultimately, our help comes from the Lord." When chaos swirls around us, we can lift our eyes above the hills, above the turmoil, to the Lord who reigns over all. He is the solid rock on which we stand. He is the strong tower we can run to for refuge. He is the mighty fortress who shields us with His eternal power and protection.The next time trouble comes your way, resist the urge to feverishly search for help in temporary places. Look instead to the eternal God who created the heavens and the earth. Seek His strength, wisdom, and peace that transcends all understanding. He promises to be our ever-present help in times of need. He alone can provide the hope, security, and deliverance our soul longs for. As Max Lucado says, "On our knees, we find the heights of promotion." Through prayer and trust in Him, the Lord will lift us up and carry us through the storms of life. Our help comes from the maker of heaven and earth.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Growth Gap Gal 6:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Growth Gap"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7 KJVIn Galatians 6, Paul teaches an important principle - we reap what we sow. If we sow sin and disobedience, we will reap corruption. But if we sow righteousness and obedience to God, we will reap eternal life. This principle applies in all areas of life.There is often a gap between when we sow and when we reap. Farmers understand this from planting crops. There are months between planting seeds and harvesting fruit. This gap can deceive us. When we first sow seeds of sin, we may think we "got away with it" if no consequences appear immediately. But the harvest of judgment will certainly come in God's timing.Likewise, when we first sow righteousness, we may wonder why we do not immediately reap good things. But there is a gap - a growth and maturation process - before spiritual fruits ripen. We must patiently persist in doing good works and serving God, trusting He will bless us in due time.The growth gap is a gracious period given by God to repent and change direction if we have sown sin. It is also a season to persevere in righteous living until we reap the harvest of blessing. We must understand this gap and not lose hope or tire of doing good.What seeds are you sowing each day in your life? Are you sowing to please your fleshly desires, or are you sowing to please the Holy Spirit? The harvest you will one day reap depends on what you are sowing now. Sow righteousness and you will reap eternal life!Lord, help me to sow spiritual seeds each day through obedience, faith and good works. Produce in me the fruit of righteousness. Give me patience to endure the growth gap, never wavering until the harvest of blessing comes. I trust you to bring the harvest in due season as I sow righteousness by your Spirit.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
One Thing Ps 136:6 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." (Psalm 136:1 KJV)Gratitude is 1a powerful attitude that can transform our lives. When we take time to reflect on God's blessings and all that He has done for us, it cultivates a spirit of thankfulness within us. This thankfulness then overflows into how we view each day - not as an entitlement, but as a gift.Each morning when we rise, we can begin by giving thanks to God for the gift of a new day. As we go about our daily tasks, we can remain mindful of even the smallest blessings like health, family, friends, food, and shelter. At day's end as we lay down to sleep, we can again give thanks for God's hand of protection and provision throughout the hours.Living with gratitude keeps our focus on the Giver rather than the gifts alone. It helps guard our hearts from feelings of entitlement, dissatisfaction, and complaining. Instead of focusing on what we don't have, gratitude shifts our focus to all that we do have - which is always more than we could ever deserve.The Bible reminds us that apart from God, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Every breath, talent, and opportunity comes only by His grace. When we remember this, gratitude leads us to a place of humility, joy, and peace. It causes our souls to magnify the Lord who is so good and worthy of all thanksgiving.May we never take God's goodness for granted but maintain hearts overflowing with gratitude. As we lift our thanks continually to Him, He fills us with His enduring love and mercy each new day.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Facing and Fixing Isa 41:10 #nightlight #rttbrosFear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)My friends, when we face trials and tribulations in this life, we can feel overwhelmed and afraid. But this verse reminds us that God is with us through it all. He gives us strength, help, and upholds us with His righteous right hand. What glorious promises!First, God tells us "Fear thou not." No matter what we face, we do not need to be afraid. Why? Because the Lord of Hosts is with us! The God who crafted the cosmos is by our side, sustaining us each step of the way.Second, He assures us "I will strengthen thee." When we feel weak and weary, God infuses us with supernatural strength by His Spirit. He renews our inner man day by day as we trust in Him. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength!Finally, our Lord declares "I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." What a powerful image! Picture the nail-scarred hand of Jesus holding you up, keeping you from stumbling or falling. Righteousness Himself upholds you. Hallelujah!My friends, whatever you face today, fix your eyes on Jesus. Trust in His presence, strength, and upholding hand. He will never leave you nor forsake you, for He has said "I am thy God." May we walk in His peace and power!
Free From Sin 1 John1:9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 1 John 1:9 KJVS - 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.Sin entangles us all. Whether it's a harsh word spoken in anger, a lie told to cover up wrongdoing, or an addiction that controls our lives, we have all fallen short of God's standards. Guilt and shame can weigh heavily when we realize the depth of our sin. But praise God - forgiveness is available!As 1 John 1:9 reminds us, when we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What glorious news! No matter what we've done, God is ready and willing to wipe the slate clean when we come to Him in repentance.Consider King David after his grievous sins of adultery and murder. In Psalm 51 we read his raw, honest prayer of confession. David threw himself on God's mercy, not glossing over his failings but owning his guilt. And God responded with complete forgiveness and restoration.The same is true for us today. Just as darkness flees when light shines, confession of sin makes way for God's cleansing forgiveness. When we walk in the light with Him, the blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin.God knows our frame, that we are but dust. He is eager to lift shame and renew us when we turn to Him. As Adrian Rogers said, "The devil says you’re guilty and God says you’re free, now whom are you going to believe?" Believe in God's incredible grace. Bring your failures to the foot of the cross. Receive God's gift of redemption and walk in freedom.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Open Door Rev 3:7-13 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR11The Open Door"Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it." Revelation 3:8 (KJV)The church in Philadelphia was promised an open door that no one could shut. What a liberating thought! This open door represents opportunity - a chance to spread the gospel and make disciples. Too often we feel hemmed in by obstacles, but God promises open doors to those who remain faithful.Let's walk through that open door with excitement! It may lead to unfamiliar places and challenging situations, but we have God's assurance that the door will not close behind us. When we step out in faith, believing in God's promises, He will keep that doorway clear.Be on the lookout today for open doors in your life. It may come through a new relationship that allows you to share Christ's love. Or an opportunity to serve those in need. God delights in opening just the right door at just the right time.We don't know what's coming through that door. It may lead to trials that test our faith. But we do know the One who opened it. He is the same One who conquered death and shut the door on the grave. Because of His resurrection power, we can have boldness to walk through every open door He provides.Just remember, the open door swings both ways. As we walk through it to join God in His work, we must also allow God to access every room in our hearts. Is there a locked closet of sin that needs opened up to His cleansing light? As we allow Him free reign, He is able to open doors for us to bless others.May we live with open hands, open hearts, and eyes wide open to the doors God is opening. The opportunities are endless for those who trust in the faithful and true One. He opens doors that no one can shut.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Perfect Peace Isa 26:3 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee." Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)Life pulls us in many directions. Between work, family, and other responsibilities, our minds get Cluttered with anxious thoughts. But Isaiah promises that when we keep our minds fixed on God, He will give us perfect peace.A busy college student named James felt overwhelmed with papers, exams, and extracurriculars. He was stretched thin and anxious. Over winter break, James committed to starting each morning in Scripture and prayer. As he focused his mind on God's Word, James felt calm and confident even amidst the pressures of school. Staying his mind on Christ brought deep peaceLike James, I know what it's like to have a cluttered mind. When I start my day reading Scripture, I am reminded of God's presence and power. Fixing my thoughts on Him fills me with calm assurance for the day ahead. But if I neglect time in the Word, fretful thoughts quickly creep in. Just as Isaiah said, I experience God's perfect peace when my mind is stayed on Him.No matter what demands we face, Jesus offers rest for our souls. By training our minds to focus on God's truth, we can rise above the noise and distractions of life. setting aside quiet time to fix our minds on the Lord allows His peace to rule in our hearts. May we, like the psalmist, declare: "7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise!" (Psalm 57:7) As we keep our minds stayed on God, He will keep us in perfect peace.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Look To The Lord Ps. 27:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" Psalm 27:1. This powerful verse reminds us that with God on our side, we have no need to fear. When we walk with Him daily, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, He illuminates our path, showing us which way to go (Psalm 119:105). Even in life's darkest valleys, we can trust Him to lead us, one step at a time.Though fears and doubts may arise, we can remember that God has provided salvation through His Son. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). When we believe in Jesus, trusting Him as Lord of our lives, we receive the gift of eternal life with God. Knowing our future is secure, we do not need to be afraid.On this life's journey, storms will come, but Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), so we can boldly proclaim, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me" (Hebrews 13:6). Though enemies surround us, God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Under the shadow of His wings we find shelter from every adversity (Psalm 91:1-2).Fear and anxiety frequently overwhelm us in life's uncertainties. But as Adrian Rogers exhorted, “Either Jesus is Lord of all or He is not Lord at all!” When Jesus is truly Lord of our lives, we do not need to fear. He lights our path and provides salvation from every fear.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
Turning Troubles into Triumphs James 1:2-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." (James 1:2-3 KJV)Michael Cain was advised as a young actor to "use the difficulty" when a chair was left on the set blocking his entrance. This he applied to his personal life where he would look at any difficulty and ask how can I use this? Life is full of difficulties. We all face troubles and trials that can feel overwhelming. Yet God tells us not to despair in these times, but to actually count them as joy! Why? Because He can use every struggle to strengthen and refine us.The next time you face an obstacle that seems to block your way, don't get discouraged. Instead ask yourself, "How can I use this?" Look for ways this difficulty can build your character, teach you lessons, or redirect you towards God's best. With His help, you can turn troubles into triumphs!Difficult people and relationships? Use them to grow in patience and understanding. Financial hardship? Use it to deepen your trust in God as provider. Health issues? Use them to refine your priorities and draw closer to God. He promises that if we trust Him through trials, our faith will emerge stronger.So don't run from problems - use them! Allow God to use every challenge to transform you into the person He created you to be. Instead of asking "Why is this happening to me?" ask "How can I use this to become more like Christ?" God can turn any stumbling block into a stepping stone for your life.No matter what you face today, choose to see it as an opportunity, not an obstacle. With God's help, you can use any difficulty to sharpen your character, strengthen your faith, and take steps towards His purposes for you. You may be surprised at what He can accomplish in and through you when you learn to use difficulties rather than fight them.

WHEN LIFE FAILS YOU Ps. 27:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalms 27:1 KJV)When life fails us, it can feel like we are lost in darkness and overwhelmed by fear. Yet God promises to be our light and salvation in times of trouble. As children of the Most High God, we have no need to be afraid even when storms rage around us.Trials will surely come, but Jesus assures us that He has overcome the world (John 16:33). Though weeping may endure for the night, joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). We can rejoice that our pain is temporary, but our hope in Christ is eternal.Rather than relying on our own wisdom, we must seek God's guidance through fervent prayer. The Lord promises that if we ask, it shall be given to us (Matthew 7:7). His perfect plan is often revealed slowly, as we walk hand in hand with Him through the valley.Even when we feel abandoned or that our prayers are unheard, God remains sovereign. His timing and purposes are flawless, though we may not understand them. As we yield our anxieties to Christ day by day, He fills us supernatural peace and strength.Our trials testify to God's faithfulness. Each storm weathered is another chance to proclaim His goodness. None of our pain is wasted when we allow it to refine our faith and draw us closer to the Father.Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

300 Pound Scale Psalms 139:13-14 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:13-14The number flashing in bright red on the scale was discouraging - 300 pounds. As I stepped off and looked in the mirror, all I could see were my flaws - the extra weight, the tired eyes, the wrinkles forming. In my mind, the verdict was clear: I didn't measure up.Our worth is often quantified by scales - scales of achievement, beauty, wealth, status. But there is a fundamental problem with these scales: they are calibrated by the world's standards, not God's design. As Psalm 139 reminds us, we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" by our Creator. Our value was established before we drew our first breath.So let us reject the scales of this world and embrace how God sees us. He knit us together, flaws and all, and called us His beloved child. There is no number high enough to quantify our worth in His eyes. We are cherished, we are treasured - we are priceless. The only scale that matters is the one that begins and ends with His love.Dear God, help me to find my worth in You alone. When I am tempted to measure my value by the world's standards, lead me back to Your truth. Remind me that I am beautifully and wonderfully made.

When You Don't Understand Pro. 3:5-6 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6We often try to figure life out on our own, relying on our limited human understanding. But as Adrian Rogers said, "God doesn't give explanations; He gives promises." Rather than demanding explanations from God, we must trust Him completely, acknowledging Him in all our ways. Even when life doesn't make sense, we can trust that God is directing our paths.A woman named Amy struggled to trust God after her young son was diagnosed with leukemia. She couldn't understand why God would allow this to happen. But a friend encouraged Amy to lay her need for explanations at God's feet.

Wake UP Rev 3:1-6 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR10Revelation 3:2 KJVS - 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before GodThe church in Sardis had a reputation for being alive and active, but Jesus saw through their outward appearance. He knew their works were incomplete, their witness lacked conviction, and their worship was becoming ritualistic. They thought they were spiritually vibrant, but they were really stagnating.How often we're tempted to coast along in our faith, going through the motions without truly abiding in Christ. We can look great on the outside while neglecting the inner life. But no pretense fools the Lord's penetrating gaze. As Hebrews says, Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight (4:13).Jesus called the church in Sardis to wake up, strengthen what was about to die, and remember the gospel they received. There was still hope if they turned from their complacency. The few who had not stained their clothes could walk with Jesus in white, clothed in His righteousness.Let this warning shake us from slumber. The risen Christ sees our hearts. He wants us to fan into flame the gifts He gave us, pursuing Him with passion. We must continually return to the cross in repentance and faith. Only through the work of the Spirit can we live as His faithful witnesses. May our worship and service never become empty routine but the fruit of abiding in Him.https://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Distracted Living #Nightlight #RTTBROS "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." Hebrews 12:2It's easy to get distracted from what really matters in life. As Adrian Rogers wisely stated, “We must not let the things that matter most be at the mercy of the things that matter least.” Our focus should be on Jesus, not the trivial pursuits that clamor for our attention. Jesus is the author who writes the story of our life, and the finisher who makes our faith complete.A businessman named Harold got so caught up in his work that it consumed him. He neglected his family and his spiritual life. One day, after missing an important recital for his daughter, Harold realized he had misplaced priorities. He recommitted to looking to Jesus first, rather than letting lesser things take priority. As Harold refocused on Christ, he found new perspective and purpose.Proper Focus #Nightlight #RTTBROS "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith."

Work a four letter word? Prov 12:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROSWork 4 letter word? Paul ChappellHe that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he t followeth vain persons is void of understanding-Proverbs 12:11Though it may have originated in Russia, the origins of the childrens story The Little Red Hen are uncertain. This little parable describe hen who found some wheat seeds and invited the other barnyard anim to help her grow and harvest the wheat. Despite her repeated asking assistance, none of them are interested in planting, weeding, watering harvesting, milling, or baking. Yet when the delicious bread is finish they are more than happy to help eat it. Instead the Little Red Hen said "I'll eat it myself." She had done all of the work, and she deserved the satisfaction of reaping the fruit of her efforts.Our society does not value work as it once did. There are man government programs providing funding for those who are unwilling t labor. (This is different than providing help for those who cannot hel themselves.) These programs produce a negative incentive. When there is no connection between work and reward, it is not hard to understand why people regard work as something to be avoided if at all possible Those who are able to work but refuse to do so cheat themselves of the satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from diligent labor.Instead of drifting along with the culture, God's people should b shining examples of diligent workers. Whether or not the task is enjoyable or pays as much as we think it should, work is part of God's plan for our lives. We must remember that ultimately our labor is for the Lord, no our human boss, Colossians 3:23-24 admonishes, "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord ChristToday's Word to the Wise: Do all of your work diligently, realizing that you rob yourself as well as others when you do less than your best.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

-Proverbs 23:6-8 Paul Chapell writes about the Medici they were one of the most famous and powerful families of Italy during the Middle Ages. Their involvement in politics, religion, art, and science left a major impact on the entire world. They were known as a ruthless family, willing to do virtually anything to get their way-even in their dealings with each other. In 2007, scientists from the University of Florence unearthed the grave of Francesco de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Their finding of highly elevated levels of arsenic in his bones and hair fragments gives credence to the rumor that he had been poisoned. It is very likely that the poisoner was his own brother, Cardinal Ferdanando de Medici, who wanted the title for himself and poisoned Francesco at a family meal.
Not every banquet that is set before you is safe to eat. The devil knows how powerful an attractive "meal" is in tempting us to sin. This approach worked in the very first temptation in the Garden of Eden: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat" (Genesis 3:6). Like a sports team running the same play again and again because the opponent hasn't adjusted, Satan continues to make sin look attractive to lure men and women to sin and destruction.

Cling to Christ Rev 2:18-29#Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR9 Revelation 2:18-19 KJVS - 18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first
The church in Thyatira faced an onslaught of false teaching. A self-proclaimed prophetess promoted sexual immorality and idol worship, leading many believers astray. Her poisonous words undermined God's truth and tainted their community.
But Jesus saw beyond the surface struggles to the hearts of His faithful followers. He affirmed their "love, faith, service and perseverance" (v.19). Despite the surrounding darkness, rays of light still shone in Thyatira.
Christ encouraged them to hold unswervingly to Him, reminding them of His piercing eyes that see all. He searches minds, discerns motives, and judges each one's work (v.23). We cannot hide our sin from the One whose feet blaze like burnished bronze.
Just as Jesus exposed the false prophetess' wickedness, He also saw the faithful few who rejected her lies. To them He promised authority to rule the nations and the morning star (v.28) - Christ Himself, the One who rises like the dawn to scatter sin's dreadful night.
Take courage, believer. When immorality is called good and lies are upheld as truth, fix your eyes on Jesus. Cling to His commands. Patiently endure every hardship for His name's sake. Sin's pleasures quickly fade but its wages endure forever. The faithful will be rewarded with imperishable crowns. Stand strong. Jesus sees you, knows you, and loves you. He will soon make all things new.
Stand firm on God's truth when the culture is compromised and cling to Christ amidst corruption.

Faithful in a Fallen World Rev 2:12-17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR8 Revelation 2:12-17 KJVS - 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
The church in Pergamos was in a tough spot. They lived right in the middle of a bustling, pagan city filled with immorality and idol worship. It would have been so easy for them to get sucked into the ways of the world around them.
But Jesus commends them, saying "I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith" (v. 13). Even in the midst of temptation and trials, they held onto Jesus. What strength! What commitment!
Yet, Jesus also offers a sobering warning: "Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth" (v.16). Some in the church were holding onto the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Jesus hated. They were compromising, letting the culture around them shape their beliefs.
This is a danger for us today, friends. It's easy to let the world slowly conform us to its patterns, rather than be transformed into the image of Christ. We must examine our hearts daily, rooting out any false teachings or practices that have crept in.
Jesus longs for His Bride to be pure and holy, "not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing" (Eph. 5:27). Let us repent of any areas that are not fully aligned to Him. Jesus is coming soon - will He find us faithful?
Marvelous Lord, give us Pergamos' strength to endure, but also their vigilance against compromise. Search our hearts and keep us wholly Yours. In Jesus' name, amen. Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Real Prosperity Rev 2:8-11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR7 My friends, our Scripture reading today comes from Revelation chapter 2, verses 8 through 11. Let's listen to what the Word of God says:
"And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
Now friend, Jesus Christ Himself is speaking these words to the church in Smyrna. And the message is clear: No matter what persecutions or trials you face, be faithful even unto death, and you will receive the crown of life.
Jesus identifies Himself as the first and the last, the eternal God who died and rose again. And because He lives, we too shall live. No grave could hold our Savior, and no persecution can separate us from His love.
The believers in Smyrna faced poverty and slander from false Jews, but Jesus calls them rich in faith. My friends, true prosperity is not houses and lands - it's having Jesus in your heart! Don't let so-called "prosperity preachers" deceivingly tell you that God's blessings are measured by your bank account. Trust in God, not gold!
Now Jesus warns that some will be cast into prison and face tribulation. But He commands, "Fear none of those things!" Keep your eyes on the crown of life. Christian, no matter what trials you're facing today, Jesus walks with you through the fire. Keep looking to the prize that awaits you on the other side!
Finally, Jesus admonishes us all: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." My friend, are you listening? The Spirit of God is speaking to us today through this passage. He's saying: Be faithful, stand strong, cling to Jesus - and overcometh this world!
Won't you heed Christ's call today? Turn from sin, trust in Him, and you shall receive that glorious crown of life. There's a day coming when no more sorrows will weigh down our heads. But until then, we must run this race with endurance, knowing that Jesus will see us through to the end. Amen!

Rebuild The Temple #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS Rebuilding the Temple Before the Walls
In the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, we read about the return of the Jewish exiles to Jerusalem after 70 years of captivity in Babylon. One of the first priorities for the returned exiles was to rebuild the temple, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. Under the leadership of Zerubbabel, the people laid the foundation and completed the Second Temple, though it was less glorious than Solomon's original temple (Ezra 3:8-13, 6:14-15).
It was not until over 60 years later, under Nehemiah's leadership, that the city walls and gates of Jerusalem were rebuilt. The walls had been broken down and burned when the Babylonians first attacked Jerusalem. Rebuilding them was a key part of restoring security, stability, and dignity to the people (Nehemiah 2:17).
The order of these re-building projects contains an important spiritual lesson for us. The temple, as the center of worship of God, took priority over the walls, which provided mainly physical security and demarcation of property. As Jesus would later teach, we must seek first the kingdom of God rather than worrying about material needs (Matthew 6:33).
In our lives today, we face many potential priorities competing for our time and resources. But as believers, we are called to put our relationship with God first. Regularly participating in corporate worship, reading Scripture, praying, and serving others should take priority over worldly pursuits. As we stay focused on spiritual priorities, God will take care of our physical needs and lead us to rebuild the other important areas of our lives as well.

Revive your passion Rev 2:4-7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed part 7 Revelation 2:4-7 KJVS - Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
Oh, church of Ephesus, the Lord Jesus himself has been walking among your lampstands. He knows your toil, your perseverance, your rejection of wickedness. But the piercing eyes of Christ have discerned a fatal flaw - you have abandoned your first love!
What convicting words to rouse our souls! Have we also left our first love? The ardor that burned within us has faded to a flicker. Our hearts, once aflame with devotion, now pump cold religious routine through our veins.
Christ remembers the heights from which we have fallen. He recalls the days when we were newly saved, when grace amazed us, when we poured over the Scriptures. He remembers our childlike awe, our joyous wonder at his sacrifice. But now our love has grown drowsy, indifferent, mechanical. Other passions have crowded out our devotion to the Savior.
Oh child of God, hear the voice of Jesus calling you to return to your first love once more! Reflect, remember, repent! Examine your heart - have lesser loves supplanted the place of Christ? Has your communion with him become lifeless habit? Fan the fading embers of your love back into flame! Fix your gaze again upon the blood-stained cross! Marvel at his mercy, plunge again into his word, rediscover the glory of his grace!
Jesus urges us onward, his promises sustaining us. Though we often stumble, he remains faithful. Keep looking unto Jesus as you run the race marked out for you. Persevere in devotion to him all your days, that you may finally eat of the tree of life in paradise.
Lord Jesus, forgive our dull hearts and cold love. Burn within us with holy fire once more, that we would return to our first love. Consume our thoughts with passion for you, that you alone would have our highest adoration and deepest affection.

The Emotions of Repentance #RTTBROS #nightlight #normankissinger #NK Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19 (KJV)
This verse from Acts speaks an essential truth - that we must repent of our sins in order to receive forgiveness and restoration. The word "repent" means to turn away from and forsake our sins. It requires an inward change of heart that leads to an outward change in behavior and lifestyle. True repentance involves godly sorrow over sin, confessing and forsaking it.
Repentance is not just feeling sorry - it's a change in direction. We turn from our sinful path and realign our lives to God's will and ways. The verse promises that when we repent, our sins are blotted out. Through Christ's redemptive work on the cross, God removes the stain and guilt of sin from our lives. What an incredible promise!
Repentance also leads to renewal - "times of refreshing" from the Lord's presence. When we walk in obedience, we experience the joy, peace and blessing of close fellowship with God. Sin creates distance in our relationship with Him, but repentance restores intimate communion with the Lord.
True repentance is a gift from God, made possible by His grace. We cannot manufacture or work up repentance on our own. The Holy Spirit awakens our hearts to recognize and turn from sin. Conviction leads us to godly sorrow, and God's kindness leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4).
The call to repentance reminds us that Christianity is not passive. Salvation is a free gift we receive by faith, but it calls us to active obedience and turning from sin. We must respond to God's offer of grace by repenting and embracing holiness.
This verse holds both a warning and a promise. The warning is that refusing to repent will block our fellowship with God and lead to spiritual decay. But for the willing heart, it promises cleansing, renewal and the refreshing presence of the Lord. May we heed this call to repentance today!
Repentance can bring up conflicting emotions within us. There is joy and relief in being forgiven, restored to God, and knowing our sins are cast away. But there can also be sadness and sorrow over all that was lost or damaged through the sin we are repenting of. Both responses are normal and even necessary for true repentance.
Active Endurance Rev 2:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed part 6Revelation 2:2 KJV:"I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars."One commentator said of the patience referred to here..." It is not the grim patience which resignedly accepts things. It is the courageous gallantry which accepts suffering and hardship and turns them into grace and glory. It is often said that suffering colours life; but when we meet life with the hupomone ( G5281) which Christ can give, the colour of life is never grey or black; it is always tinged with glory."The patience commended here is not mere waiting around. It is an active endurance in the face of trials and persecution. The Ephesian church persevered in truth and discernment despite the presence of false teachers trying to deceive them.As believers today, we need this same kind of vigilant patience. When faced with moral compromise or watered-down doctrine, we must stand firm in God's Word. This requires spiritual discipline and dependence on the Holy Spirit. We can't passively let sin or deception overtake the church.Patience in adversity also applies to our personal lives. When enduring illness, grief, or relational strife, we can follow Jesus' example of committing our souls to our faithful Creator. He will give us grace to withstand every hardship while anticipating the glory to come.Let us cultivate patience that endures, discerns, and hopes in God's promises. By His strength, we can reject evil and cling to what is true. Our steadfast witness will shine light into the darkness.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Hero Rev 1:13-17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed part 5Revelation 1:13-17 KJVS - 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:Our Lord Jesus Christ, the faithful witness and first begotten of the dead, has overcome all and secured the final victory. Though the dragon pursued the woman who bore the man child, Christ was caught up unto God and to His throne, frustrating the dragon's designs (Revelation 12:5-6). Though the beasts arise from the sea and earth, given power by the dragon to make war and conquer the saints, the Lamb shall overcome them (Revelation 13:7). Though the second beast performs signs and deceives those on earth, Christ's elect will not be deceived, for He has chosen and sealed them (Revelation 13:8, 14:1).At the opening of the seventh seal, there is silence in heaven as the prayers of the saints are offered on the golden altar before the throne. Then seven angels sound their trumpets, bringing woes upon the earth, yet the saints overcome by the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 8-9). Though the dragon is enraged and makes war on those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus, they overcome him by the word of their testimony and the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11).Though the beast and false prophet gather the kings of the earth to the battle of Armageddon, Christ the King of Kings shall prevail. He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God, and He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (Revelation 19:11-16).

The Anchor Rev 1:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed part 4"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending" (Revelation 1:8).We need not fear the future, for Christ holds us fast. He declares, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending" (Revelation 1:8). Before anything was created, He existed; when all else fades away, He will remain.Times may be shaky, but our hope in Him stands firm. For He says, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness" (Isaiah 41:10).Like an anchor in stormy seas, Christ secures us. As Hebrews says, "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" (Hebrews 6:19). Though winds and waves may toss, our Anchor holds firm.When anchors are tested in storms, we find security in the one Anchor that holds—Jesus. For He declares, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (Hebrews 13:8). He alone remains steadfast forevermore.So we will not fear, for the eternal Anchor of our souls will keep us safe. Though the earth be removed, and the mountains shaken, we remain steadfast, moored to the Rock who never changes. Christ alone secures us through every storm.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Uncertain Times Rev 1:17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed part 3"I am the first and the last" Rev. 1:17In uncertain times, we can feel adrift, without direction. The winds of change blow, and the seas of life grow stormy. We lose our bearings, unsure which way is safe, wondering if we'll weather the swelling waves.But Revelation 1 presents Christ as our guiding light and source of hope—a beacon shining through the darkness. John sees the risen Lord in dazzling glory, with hair white as snow and eyes flaming like fire. This is no ordinary man—this is the King of kings, the Alpha and Omega, the root of David's line.Though kingdoms rise and fall, Christ remains sovereign over all. He declares "I am the first and the last" (v. 17). Before anything was created, He existed; when all else fades away, He will remain. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever—the eternal, unchanging One.Like a lighthouse guiding ships through stormy nights, Christ's light shines to lead us through life's uncertainties. The lighthouse stands firm on the rock, unaffected by crashing waves. Its lamp burns bright, piercing the darkness so sailors can find safe passage home.In a world of change and uncertainty, Jesus stands a shining beacon to guide us safely home. He remains steady and constant when all else is tossing and turning. Fix your eyes on Him, and let His brilliant light lead you through the darkness. For He promises never to leave or forsake you, but to light your path all the days of your life.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Lion and The Lamb Rev1:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Lion and the LambIn the opening of Revelation, John offers a striking portrait of Jesus Christ - the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth (Revelation 1:5 KJV). Though John penned these words while exiled on Patmos, he points to the supremacy and victory of Christ in the midst of suffering.As we study the mysteries of Revelation and gaze at the coming doom, we must never lose sight of the Lion and the Lamb who has already overcome. Let us be reminded of three key truths:His Faithfulness - Christ is the "faithful witness" (v.5), testifying to God's truth with perfect obedience, even unto death. As evil rises, we can trust His steadfast witness.His Resurrection - He is "the first begotten of the dead" (v.5), conquering the grave once for all. No earthly or spiritual power can snatch us from His undefeated hand.His Reign - He is "prince of the kings of the earth" (v.5), sovereign over every earthly authority. No ruler operates apart from His supreme rule.In days of turmoil, fix your eyes on the Lion and the Lamb. He reigns victorious and will bring His people safely through the fire to an eternity with Him.

Chain Or Stain Rev 1:1-5 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev. 1:1-5 " It is grace that endures. The benediction is addressed to the One who loves us and who keeps on loving us. It is also grace that emancipates: "Unto him that ... washed us from our sins." Some versions read "loosed us from our sins." Dean Alford says there is a difference of only one letter between the two readings in the original. If we read: "Unto him that ... washed us from our sins," then sin is regarded as a stain. If we read: "Unto him that ... loosed us from our sins," then sin is regarded as a chain. Of course, it is both." John Phillips Sin is a Burden We Cannot Bear"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23 KJV)Sin is a stain on our lives that we cannot wash away on our own. No matter how good we try to be, we still fall short of God's perfect glory. Sin separates us from our holy Creator. But even more than a stain, sin is a chain that binds us. It is a trap we cannot escape by our own efforts. Sin enslaves us and leads us down destructive paths.But praise God, He has washed us clean and loosed us from the chains of sin through Jesus Christ! "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7 KJV) No stain is too dark for the blood of Jesus. No chain is too strong for Him to break.Let us rejoice today that we have been freed from sin's stains and chains by the amazing grace of our Lord. Though we were once slaves to sin, we have been set free and are now slaves to righteousness!"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."

Dwight L. Moody was the Billy Graham of the mid-1800s. He preached powerfully across the world, leading over a million people to convert to Christ. Earlier in his ministry, a young man asked if he visited Chicago, could he preach at Moody's church. Moody agreed absentmindedly. But Henry Morehouse preached John 3:16 so powerfully that Moody asked him to preach for seven more nights. Morehouse transformed Moody's preaching. It was said Morehouse moved the man who moved millions.Morehouse said if he asked the angel Gabriel how much God loved the world, the reply would be John 3:16. God demonstrated his love tangibly by sacrificing Jesus to provide full, free salvation so we can be with Him forever.I want to move you with God's love. Mighty Father God, I thank you for this day. I pray you'd be with us and allow us to know your love, strength and care moment by moment, infinitely available because of Christ's work. Thank you for the man who moved the man who moved millions. In Jesus' name, amen.God bless you. I love you, but Jesus loves you more. Have a great night.

Short Leash 2 Cor. 12:7 #NK #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NormanKissingerThis is Norman Kissinger from Redeeming Time Brothers Ministry. My brother and I have devoted our lives to ministry, raising families, and being involved in churches. We'd like to have an online place where people can be encouraged as we encourage one another in faith.I wanted to reference a Bible passage and introduce you to somebody. 2 Corinthians 12:7 mentions a "thorn" given to Paul to prevent pride from the revelations he saw. This refers to repeated trials, like waves continuously pounding the shore.This reminded me of our dog, Susie. She loves chasing rabbits but that isn't good for her. Our other dog Bonnie can be off-leash, but Susie must stay leashed or she'll run off for an hour. I realized we also need a "short leash" at times. God knows the exact leash each of us needs to protect us from temptation and unwise choices. Despite some teaching, God will allow difficulties to protect us.Like Susie, we wish some things were different. But God may keep our "leash short" for our benefit, molding and guiding our development. I wanted to share this because some teaching suggests God would never allow anything painful, stressful or difficult. But Scripture says otherwise.Though trials and burdens come, you walk beside me, Lord. Your strength helps me face each moment, however hard. Thank you for your faithful presence and endless grace. Fill me with your Spirit to reflect Christ today. Use me to encourage someone weary. Remind me my life is in your hands, and you who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion.In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Reassurance Romans 8:38-39 #Nightlight #RTTBROS“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39Robert J. Morgan is a pastor and author who wrote a book called “Great Is Thy Faithfulness: 52 Reasons to Trust God When Hope Feels Lost” 12. In this book, he provides 52 scriptures and devotions that remind us that our loving God always follows through on what He says He will doIn it he shared the story of Katie McKenna was run over by a truck and was in surgery for many hours; in the hospital for many weeks. When she returned home from the hospital she was still traumatized physically and psychologically. But her parents were there to help her. She wrote about how she would always ask them if it was going to be okay. She wasn’t even sure of what “it” was; she just needed reassurance. Her mom and dad did that for her—they were hopeful, so she was hopeful; they were sure, so she was sure. Without them she would have fallen into the dark side of her fear. They pulled her into the light of a better future .The ministry of reassurance is powerful. We need someone to tell us it is going to be okay, whatever “it” is. We need someone to give us reassurance about life. When they are hopeful, it helps us be hopeful.Here are some verses from the King James Version of the Bible that talk about reassurance:“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - John 14:27“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Attitude Determines Altitude Luke 18:1-8 #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS
Luke 18:1-8 KJVS - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
The tax collector's humble and repentant attitude allowed him to approach God sincerely and authentically. He recognized his need for God's mercy and grace. In contrast, the Pharisee's proud and self-righteous attitude prevented him from truly connecting with God.
As we come before God in prayer, we must check our attitude. Do we think we deserve God's favor because of our good works? Or do we know that we can only approach Him because of His mercy? A repentant heart that cries out, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner" is precious to God.
In the end, it is not about the number of prayers we pray or good deeds we do. It's about recognizing our desperate need for God's grace. When we humble ourselves before Him, we will be lifted up and find peace in His presence.
Let's reflect on our attitude today as we pray. Do we come with humility and repentance like the tax collector? Or with pride and self-righteousness like the Pharisee? As we check our hearts, may we draw near to God, trusting in His mercy alone.

Friends, our reading today in Exodus 33:11 gives us a beautiful glimpse into the friendship between God and Moses. The verse tells us "The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend." Their relationship went beyond servant and Master - they related as close companions.
As followers of Christ, you and I are also called to cultivate this level of friendship with God. But how is such intimate fellowship developed? The key is spending quality time with the Lord in prayer. More than just presenting requests, we need to open our hearts up fully to Him.
Tell God what's on your mind, share your dreams and troubles, and give Him your undivided attention. Ask the Spirit to reveal His thoughts and feelings to you as you meditate on Scripture. Praying God's Word back to Him aligns our will with His purposes. This deepens our bond tremendously.
The Bible shows that God granted miraculous answers to the prayers of those who were His friends, like Abraham, Moses, David and Daniel. He wants to do the same for us today! But it starts with prioritizing companionship with Him.
Dear friends, I pray we all draw nearer to God each day as His dearest friends. There is no greater joy than walking in sweet communion with Him. As we cultivate this divine friendship, our prayer lives will be revolutionized. Our petitions will flow from a place of intimate love and trust. Let's pursue fellowship with our Best Friend!
The Best Thing Matt 6:34 #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time.” Abraham Lincoln Matthew 6:34 KJVS - 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Friends, do not fret about the future or wallow in doubts and fears. As the psalmist said, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid" (Psalm 27:1).
Like looking up a towering staircase, gazing too far into the future can overwhelm us. Yet the Lord reminds us, "34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:34).
Rather than obsessing over the summit, let us set our sights on the very next step. For "the path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day" (Proverbs 4:18). Press forward, dear ones. The Lord orders our steps and lights our path one stride at a time.
Our heavenly Father knows the plans He has for us, "11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11). So do not dwell on impending trials or unknown tomorrows. God is with us in this moment. Let His grace be sufficient for today, and tomorrow's grace be enough for tomorrow.
Stay near to the Lord, dear friend, taking each moment as He gives it. He will guide your steps up the heights if you but let Him. Have hope and take courage! The best is yet to come.
Let's just take life one step at a time and one day at a time.

Hannah All In 1 Sam 1:10 #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS Hannah All In And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore I Sam 1:10
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you pleaded with God intensely for it? Hannah did. She longed for a child, yet remained barren. Her deep desire drove her to the temple where she prayed so fervently that Eli the priest thought she was drunk! But Hannah was not drunk - she was desperate.
In 1 Samuel 1:10 we read "And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore." Hannah poured her heart out to God, refusing to take no for an answer. She begged the Lord for a son, vowing to dedicate him to the temple if her request was granted.
God heard Hannah's impassioned prayer and blessed her with a son, Samuel. As soon as he was weaned, Hannah fulfilled her vow and brought Samuel to Eli at the temple. Though it pained her to be separated from her beloved child, Hannah selflessly gave Samuel back to the Lord as she had promised.
We too must pray with intensity and passion, fully relying on God's will. But we must not treat Him like a genie, presenting our demands. Instead, like Hannah, we can surrender the desires of our heart completely to Him, trusting that He will answer according to His perfect plan. For He knows what we need before we even ask.

Right Kind Of Love John 13:34 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Right Kind Of Love A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” - John 13:34 (KJV)
According to Greek mythology, a sculptor named Pygmalion created an ivory statue of a woman who was so perfect and beautiful that he fell in love with her. In his mind, no living woman could compare to the statue he had crafted. Finally Venus, the goddess of love, brought the statue to life so that Pygmalion could marry the love of his life. Of course we know there is no truth to that ancient fable, yet at the same time it demonstrates a principle that underlies a serious problem in many relationships
My friend, have you ever felt like the person you love just doesn't measure up? That nagging feeling that if only they were a little more patient, a little more thoughtful, a little more perfect, then you could truly love them? I know those thoughts have crossed my mind before too.
But here's the truth: True love isn't about finding a flawless partner. It's about seeing past the flaws and cherishing the person for who they are. The kindest, most Christ-like love accepts people as they are.
So today, I encourage you to look at your loved ones through eyes of grace. Focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses. Choose to see the good in them. Decide to be patient and forgiving, just as God is with you. The more you practice this, the more your love will grow.
The world promotes a distorted view of romance, but as Christians we're called to a higher standard. We don't just love the lovely. We reflect the love of Jesus by loving people unconditionally.
So let's make that our aim today and every day. Rather than judging our loved ones, let's enjoy and appreciate them. Instead of wishing they were perfect, let's be grateful for the unique gifts they bring into our lives. This is the kind of love that builds strong relationships and brings joy.
May God bless you richly as you love others with His grace and compassion!

Knows Exd 3:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS A devotion adapted from C.H Surgeon
 "I know their sorrows." Exodus 3:7
Exodus 3:7 KJVS - 7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of thGodeir taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
When we sing "This my father knows," it's so comforting to know God understands us completely. As our dear Friend and Lover of our souls, He knows everything about us.
He's the Great Physician - if He knows it all, we don't need to. Hush all those worried thoughts, wondering and questioning heart! What you don't understand now, you'll get later. For now, Jesus the beloved Doctor knows your soul in hard times. Why do we need to analyze the treatment or calculate the symptoms? That's the Doctor's job, not mine. My role is to trust Him, and His is to prescribe what I need. If He writes the prescription in a way I can't decipher, I won't stress about it. I'll rely on His flawless skills to make it all clear eventually, though the process remains mysterious.
He's the Master, and His knowledge guides us instead of our own limited understanding. We obey, not judge. "The servant knoweth not what his lord doeth." Should the construction worker question the architect's blueprints? If the designer grasps his intent, isn't that sufficient? The pottery on the spinning wheel can't guess the pattern it will become, but if the potter knows his craft, what does the ignorant clay matter? My Lord won't be interrogated by one as uninformed as me!
He's the Head. All understanding starts there. What discernment does the arm have? What comprehension does the foot possess? The power to know rests in the head alone. Why would a body part need its own brain when the head fulfills every mental function? Here then, child of God, find comfort in sickness - not because you see the outcome, but because Jesus knows all. Sweet Lord, be our eyes, soul and head forever, and let us be content knowing only what You choose to reveal.

COMING SOON Titus 2:13-14 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Titus 2:13-14 KJVS - 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
"Coming Soon" Life is full of instances where the concept of "coming soon" is used to build anticipation for an upcoming event. We hear "Coming Soon" about a concert or sporting event that is near at hand. In Titus 2:13-14 (KJV), we read "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." This verse reminds us that we should be looking forward to the second coming of Christ with great anticipation.
The second coming of Christ is a topic that has been discussed for centuries. Many people believe that it will happen soon. I have a friend that says he is no longer looking for signs he is now listening for the trumpet. Regardless of when it happens, we should be prepared for it. We should be living our lives in such a way that we are ready to meet our Lord and Savior when He returns.
As we wait for the second coming of Christ, we can take comfort in knowing that He has given Himself for us so that we might be redeemed from all iniquity. We are called to be a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Let us live our lives in such a way that we are always ready for His return. We can say with John The Revelator, "Even so come quickly Lord Jesus."

Living under the gaze of God" from 2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJVS: #Nightlight #RTTBROS
2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJVS - I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables
Living under the gaze of God is a powerful concept that reminds us that we are always in the presence of God. In 2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJVS, Paul charges Timothy to preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. This passage reminds us that we are accountable to God for our actions and words.
Living under the gaze of God means that we are always aware of His presence. We should strive to live our lives in a way that honors Him. We should be quick to repent when we sin and seek His forgiveness. We should also be quick to forgive others when they sin against us. Living under the gaze of God means that we are constantly seeking His will for our lives.
Living under the gaze of God is a reminder that we are not alone. He is always with us, guiding us and directing us. We can trust Him to lead us on the right path and to give us wisdom when we need it. Let us strive to live our lives in a way that honors Him and brings glory to His name.

Liberty Isaiah 61:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Isaiah 61:1-3 KJVS - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
This Amazing passage was used by Jesus to inagirate His Earthly ministry. It describes his Mandate of ministry that can be broken down this way. His Mandate: • “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me”
His Motivation: • “The LORD has anointed Me:
His Method: • “to preach”
His Message: • “good tidings”
His Message recipients : • “the poor… brokenhearted … captives … those who are bound”
His Measure: • “preach good tidings to the poor … heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound”
His Mood: • “to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD As Warren Wiersbe explains during the "favorable year" of Jubilee "all debts were canceled, all land was returned to the original owners, the slaves were freed, and everybody was given a fresh new beginning. This was the Lord’s way of balancing the economy and keeping the rich from exploiting the poor.
If you have trusted Christ as your Savior, you are living today in a spiritual “Year of Jubilee.” You have been set free from bondage; your spiritual debt to the Lord has been paid; you are living in “the acceptable year of the Lord.” Instead of the ashes of mourning, you have a crown on your head; for He has made you a king (Rev. 1:6). You have been anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit, and you wear a garment of righteousness (Isa. 61:3, 10).

Meek Nor Weak Titus 3:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Titus 3:2Meek Nor Weak Titus 3:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Titus 3:2 - To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men Meekness should not be mistaken for weakness or cowardice. As stated by the Lord Jesus, "I am meek (gentle) and lowly (humble) in heart." Despite being the strongest individual to have ever lived, Jesus identified himself as meek and humble. His strength was under the complete control of God, as He lived in submission to Him. There was a sign that said "If you believe meekness is weakness, try being meek for a week." Often, individuals question why they cannot hear God's voice. It is not that God is silent; rather, we are not attentive. If you desire God's guidance and leadership, it is crucial to develop a meek and humble lifestyle. By exhibiting a repentant, receptive, and responsive spirit, God will provide direction. Instead of being like a ship navigating through a dark and turbulent night without any means of guidance and control, tossed aimlessly by the worlds influences, God will reveal His path to you. He will gently guide you, steering you in the right direction. You will be able to discern His whispers, as He guides you by subtly adjusting your course. Consider the misconceptions you have held about meekness in the past. Have you cultivated a repentant, receptive, and responsive spirit toward God? How can you further develop these qualities? Take time to pray and ask God to reveal areas in your life where you need to grow in meekness.

Become A Benefactor #Nightlight #RTTBROS J.H Jowett THE BENEFITTED AS BENEFACTORS “Who comforteth us ... that we may be able to comfort.” —2Corinthians 1:3-7 AND how does the Lord comfort us? He has a thousand different ways, and no one can ever tell by what way the comfort will come to his soul. Sometimes it comes by the door of memory, and sometimes by the door of hope. Sometimes it is borne to us through the ministry of nature, and at other times through the ministry of human speech and kindness. But always, I think, it brings us the sense of a Presence, as though we had a great Friend in the room, and the troubled heart gains quietness and peace. The mist clears a little, and we have a restful assurance of our God.
Now comforted souls are to be comforters. They who have received benefits of grace are to be benefactors. They who have heard the sweet music of God’s abiding love are to sing it again to others. They who have seen the glory are to become evangelists. We must not seek to hoard spiritual treasure. As soon as we lock it up we begin to lose it. A mysterious moth and rust take it away. If we do not comfort others, our own comfort will turn again to bitterness; the clouds will lower and we shall be imprisoned in the old woe. But the comfort which makes a comforter grows deeper and richer every day.
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Cor 1:4 KJV

From Chaos To Calm Gen.1:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Genesis 1:1-3 KJVS - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
"The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional"- Max Lucado
When your funds are low and your debts are high. When your blood count is up and your faith is ebbing away. When your marriage is going South and the kids have gone prodigal. When your blood pressure is up and your patience is deplated.
Let God Hover over your Chaos and bring calm to it. After the initial creation in Genesis 1:1 we see how God interacts with chaos, and darkness he hocers over it and brings it into submission. He creates a world of order and beauty out of darkness and Chaos. What area in your life does God want to hover over and transform tonight.
"In the treatment of anxiety, a proper understanding of sovereignty is huge. Anxiety is often the consequence of perceived chaos. If we sense we are victims of unseen, turbulent, random forces, we are troubled.”- Max Lucado

Intensity In Prayer" 1 Samuel 1:10-11 #NightLight #RTTBROS. #NK #NormanKissinger "Intensity In Prayer" 1 Samuel 1:10-11 by Norman Kissinger 1 Samuel 1:10-11 KJVS - 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Hannah was a woman who had been barren for many years and was deeply distressed. She prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. She vowed a vow and said, “ O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.”
E.M Bounds once said, “The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character, and have most powerfully affected the world for Him, have been men who spent so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives. TO BE LITTLE WITH GOD IS TO BE LITTLE FOR GOD.”
This quote emphasizes the importance of spending time with God in prayer. It is through prayer that we can develop an intimate relationship with God and grow in our faith. When we pray with intensity, we are able to connect with God on a deeper level and experience His presence in our lives.
In conclusion, intensity in prayer is essential for every believer who desires to grow in their faith. It is through prayer that we can experience God’s presence in our lives and develop an intimate relationship with Him. Let us follow Hannah’s example and pray with intensity, trusting that God hears our prayers and will answer them according to His perfect will.

ONE THING Deut. 31:6 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV) - "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Ray Pritchard writes....
"One Thing God Will Never Do Awhile back I heard a TV preacher offer this insight: “God will never bring us to the place where we no longer need him.”
And all God’s children said, “Hmmmm.”
That’ll make you stop and think. Down deep there is a part of us that would like to come to a place where we don’t have to trust in the Lord so much. Not that we don’t want to pray, but secretly we’d like to be in such a place of earthly fulfillment where we didn’t have to pray desperate prayers to the Almighty. It would be wonderful (or so we think) if things were going so well that all we had to do was to praise the Lord all day long.
Not going to happen.
If all our needs were met, we’d end up forgetting God just like the children of Israel did in the Old Testament. Earthly prosperity tends to be no friend of spiritual growth. Total prosperity generally means total disaster. I think that preacher was right on in what he said. God intends to bring us again and again to the place where we are crying out to the Lord, begging for his mercy and his grace.
That’s not a fun place to be. But it’s where we need to be. Anything that drives us to our knees is good for the soul."

Bookends For Your Day Neh. 8:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Bookends for your day.
Nehemiah 8:10 KJVS - 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength
I feel it my duty to be as happy as the Lord wants me to be–Robert Murray McCheyne
It is imperative that we incorporate a sense of cheerfulness into our daily routines. To this end, I would like to offer two suggestions. Firstly, in the morning, sing a verse of a hymn as you begin your day. I enjoy gazing at the beauty of God's creation and giving voice to a verse or two of one of the great hymns of the faith. For example "I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear, falling on my ear The Son of God discloses And He walks with me And He talks with me And He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known He speaks and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing"
Secondly, before going to sleep at night, as a new nightly routine, think of three things that you are thankful for. Instead of allowing your mind to dwell on the stresses of the day, take some time to thank God for three good things. This could be for helping you not lose your temper, or a good deal you found shopping that day. By starting the morning with a song and ending it with a prayer of thanksgiving, we can establish a routine that will positively impact those around us, making us the kind of people who spread joy wherever we go.

Not Anymore 2 Corinthians 5:17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
The concept of "I am not that person anymore" is a powerful one. It reminds us that we are new creatures in Christ and that our old selves have passed away. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
The illustration of a missing person search where the only picture used on the missing persons poster was a 5th grade photo and the missing person is in their 60's is a great way to illustrate this concept. You wouldn't be successful in your search because for all practical purposes that 5th grader doesn't exist anymore. This is similar to how we are not the same people we were before we came to Christ. We have been transformed into new creatures with new features.
"Satan knows your name but calls you by your sin but God knows your sin and calls you by your name." This quote is a great reminder that our identity as believers is in Christ. We have a new identity in Him and we are no longer defined by our past sins or mistakes. We are defined by who we are in Christ.

God Knows Everything Daniel 2:27-29 #Nightlight #RTTBROS God Knows Everything by Dr. Paul Chappell
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. Daniel 2:27-29
In 2000, as part of their bicentennial celebration, the Library of Congress launched a special project. After the original library was burned by the British during the War of 1812, Congress purchased nearly 6,500 books from Thomas Jefferson's personal collection. Many of those books were destroyed in another fire in 1851. So the Library of Congress began searching for copies of all those books that had been lost in an effort to complete the restoration project. Many of them were rare and very difficult to find. Imagine how hard it must have been for Jefferson to collect them all. In our day we take the availability of knowledge for granted and expect to be able to look up any detail that we need to know almost instantly.
Yet despite the vast increase in information we see in our day, there is no corresponding increase in wisdom or understanding. That is because those come from God. Daniel pointed out to Nebuchadnezzar that the only reason he was able to interpret his dream was because God had revealed it to him. Remember, Daniel was not working from what Nebuchadnezzar told him—the king couldn't remember the dream. Only God could tell Daniel both what the dream was and what it meant. As our society works harder and harder to undermine the truth, it is more important than ever for us to seek the wisdom only God provides. He is the source of truth, His truth never fails.
Today's Growth Principle: God offers to us all of the knowledge and wisdom we need to live rightly and glorify Him.

Staying Close To God Ps. 119:105 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 119:105 KJVS - 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path
This verse reminds us that the Word of God is a guide that illuminates our path and helps us see details we would miss otherwise. The Word of God is like a light that shines in the darkness and helps us discern what is right and wrong. When we read the Bible, we are able to see things from God's perspective and gain wisdom and understanding.
Developing discernment through the Word of God requires us to read the Bible regularly and meditate on its teachings. We must be willing to listen to what God is saying to us through His Word and apply it to our lives. As we do this, we will begin to see things more clearly and make better decisions. The Holy Spirit will guide us as we read the Bible and help us understand what it means for our lives.
Prayer is also an important part of developing discernment. When we pray, we are able to connect with the Holy Spirit who guides us each day. We can ask for wisdom and understanding as we read the Bible and seek God's will for our lives. Prayer helps us stay close to God and allows us to hear His voice more clearly. As we develop discernment through the Word of God and prayer, we will be better equipped to navigate the challenges of life and make wise decisions.

Satan's Startegy 2 Cor 2:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Satanic Strategies 1. Deception. Satan is the father of Lies he uses deception and whispers lies to us all the time. 2. Distraction. He trys to use the cares of this world to keep us focused on anything but God. 3. Division. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places, out real enemy is spiritual not physical. 4. Discouragement. He will do everything in his power to wear you down through prolonged attack. He will attack on multiple fronts all at the same time. Hoping to cause you to quit.
Here is a devotion on understanding the strategies or devices of Satan in spiritual warfare written by Max Lucado:
"Satan’s strategies are all aimed at trying to kill, steal, and destroy us. Satan hates us. He hates God. His hatred is manifested through his schemes to destroy God’s people. Satan will use every tactic possible to get our focus off of the Lord and onto ourselves. One of Satan’s greatest tools is deception."
"When we worship, we do what Satan did not do – we place God on the throne. When we pick up the sword of Scripture, we do what Jesus did in the wilderness. He responded to Satan by proclaiming truth. And since Satan has a severe allergy to truth, he left Jesus alone. Satan will not linger long where God is praised and prayers are offered."
"Don’t fault the plunging economy or a raging dictator for your anxiety. They’re simply tools in Satan’s tool kit. We can’t understand God’s narrative without understanding Satan’s strategy."
"God calls the devil by name and promises to defeat him. Be alert to the devil, and be assured his days are numbered."

Rearview Mirror Ps. 107 8-9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 107:8-9 (KJV)** "Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness." Ray Harroun came out of retirement to race in the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. In those days, every race car had a passenger – a mechanic to check oil pressure throughout the race and provide constant updates on changing conditions. Ray decided to race without the mechanic. Instead, he installed a rearview mirror in his car – and this was the first recorded instance of such a thing. Controversy filled the air, but eventually, they decided this wasn’t a violation of the rules. In the end, Ray won the race at an average speed of miles an hour.
Looking back at Ray Harroun's story, we can see how God's goodness is evident in our lives. The Bible says in Psalm 107:8-9 (KJV) "Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness." Just like Ray Harroun's decision to install a rearview mirror changed racing forever, God's goodness can change our lives forever if we trust Him.
We can look back at our lives and see how God has been faithful to us even when we didn't deserve it. We can see how He has provided for us, protected us, and guided us through difficult times. We can see how He has given us hope when we felt hopeless and strength when we felt weak. We can praise Him for His goodness and trust that He will continue to work in our lives for our good and His glory.

The Sword Eph 6:14-17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Pick Up the Sword by Paul Chappell
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Ephesians 6:14-17
The Bible makes it clear that the Christian life is a battle. We are exhorted to be on guard, attentive, and prepared for the attacks of the enemy. We are warned of the dangers of overconfidence and thinking we are above being defeated. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" (1 Corinthians 10:12). It is important to remember that our struggle is not merely defensive. In addition to putting on armor to protect us from spiritual attacks, we are called to take up a weapon to take the fight to the enemy, and that weapon is the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon wrote. "This weapon is good at all points, good for defense and for attack, to guard our whole person or to strike through the joints and marrow of the foe. Like the seraph's sword at Eden's gate, it turns every way. You cannot be in a condition that the Word of God has not provided. The Word has as many faces and eyes as providence itself. You will find it unfailing in all periods of your life, in all circumstances. in all companies, in all trials, and under all difficulties. Were it fallible, it would be useless in emergencies, but its unerring truth renders it precious beyond all price to the soldiers of the cross."
Just as a soldier is put through training to become familiar with his weapon before being sent into battle, we need to be filling our hearts and minds with the Word of God. We need to know what it says, and know how it applies to the situations in which we find ourselves.

Answered Prayer #Nightlight #RTTBROS ANSWERED PRAYER F.B. Meyer "If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you."-- John 15:7.
OUR LORD expected answers to His prayers, and in all His teaching He leads us to feel that we shall be able to obtain, through prayer, what otherwise would not come to our hand. He knew all that was to be known of natural law; but notwithstanding His perfect acquaintance with the mysteries of His Father's government, He said: "If ye shall ask anything of the Father, He will give it you in My Name."
When we consider the lives of some who have wrought mightily for God, it is clear that they learned a secret which eludes many of us. This is from the biography of Dr. Burns Thomson: "When much together as students," writes his friend, "we agreed on special petitions, and the Lord encouraged us by giving us answers, so early and so definite, as could only have come from Himself, so that no room was left for the shadow of doubt that God was the Hearer and Answerer of prayer. Once the answer came the same day, and at another time whilst we were yet speaking. My friend often spoke of our agreement, to the glory of Him who fulfilled to us His promise; and I refer to it to encourage others." This is but one leaf out of the great library of prayers, intercessions, and supplications, which stand recorded before God.
Prayer which is to prevail must be: For the glory of the Father. Whatever petition we offer must be tested by this thought: will it be for the glory of God? It is for this that our Saviour lives and pleads (John 14:13).
It must be in Christ's Name, which stands for Nature. In other words, when we pray it must not be as our self-nature but as the Christ-nature indicates. It is not enough to mention His Name at the end of our prayer: His Spirit must pervade every petition.
We must bear fruit (John 15:16). Answers to prayer largely depend on our ministry to others. If we are living for the accomplishment of God's purpose and the coming of His Kingdom, we may ask whatever is necessary for the achievement of our endeavour.
We must abide in Christ; then the sap of the Holy Spirit rising from the hidden root will produce desires and petitions like those which Christ ever presents to His Father (John 15:7).
Habit Trails #Nightlight #RTTBROS by Tony Beckett and Woodrow Kroll
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:1-2 KJV
Show me three things and I can probably tell what is important to you: your checkbook, your calendar and your home. The first will show me what you do with your money, the things that you value enough to spend your earnings attaining. The second will show me what you do with your time, that in spite of how busy you might be, these are things for which you still find time. The third will show me your interests. Items accumulated or displayed, even the books and magazine on a coffee table, can reveal your interests.
The things that we devote time and money to have captured our minds and our hearts. Thinking about and being involved in those things results in habit trails developing in our souls. We just seem to keep returning to those thoughts, those things.
First and foremost in our habit trails needs to be the things of God, the things of above. Paul tells us to set both our hearts and minds on things above. It is easier, more natural, to think about and love earthly things. After all, we can see them, hold them, collect them--love and think about them. Yet that is exactly what we are to do with the things of God--love and think about them, not totally to the exclusion of other things, but with a priority.
As we discipline our hearts and minds to fall in love with and think about what God teaches us from His Word, this will happen. Consider your habit trails. Are they of things above or below?
A good first step is Bible memory. Memorize Colossians 3:1-2. Then ask God to help you develop heavenly habit trails.

Inheritance #Nightlight #RTTBROS
 Colossians 3:23-24 KJVS - 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ
Dr. Paul Chappell writes about Barbara Hutton, who lost her mother when she was just six years old, and her workaholic father had little time for his daughter. On her twenty-first birthday, the heir to the Woolworth fortune received an inheritance of $50 million—worth nearly $1 billion in today's money. She spent freely, hosting lavish parties and buying expensive jewelry and clothes. In her search for happiness, she married seven times. By the time of her death, the woman the newspapers dubbed “the poor little rich girl” was almost bankrupt. She received a huge inheritance, but it did not bring her joy, nor did it last.
The inheritance we have been given as children of God is one that never fades away. When God places us into His family, we not only receive access to the abundant riches of His grace, but we are kept safe and secure, knowing that we will never lose the treasure He has imparted to us. Just as we do not save ourselves, we do not keep ourselves saved. It is His power that guarantees our security in Him. We go through trials and tribulations in this life, but nothing can shake the surety of what is to come. The great fortunes of this world frequently do not last. They can be dissipated by poor decisions or exhausted by economic reversals. Those who seek to find happiness or security in wealth can never be truly secure. But in Christ we have truly durable riches. “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Chosen And Placed Joh. 15:16 #Nightlight #RTTBROS CHOSEN AND PLACED "Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit."-- Joh 15:16.
WE DID not choose Him--there we have the evil of the human heart, the film of blindness which sin casts on the sight, the deafness with which it dulls the ear. For to have missed Jesus, to pass Him by, is as though the pearl-hunter were unable to recognize the pearl of greatest price; or the mother to recognize her own babe; or the seeker after the holy grail to fail to discover its mystic sheen!
"But I chose you." He chose us probably because we were useless and helpless, and He wanted to show what supreme miracles His grace could achieve. The prophet says that the branches of the vine are more useless than any others (Eze 16:1-5). The principle of God's choice is to take what all others reject--the fire-brand plucked from the burning, the feebly-smoking tow, the bruised reed; the younger sons, the halt and lame, the last and least; the things that are foolish, despised, and weak--these are God's choice, that He may bring to nought things that are, that no flesh may glory in His presence.
There was no error in the foreknowledge which preceded our election. God knew all that we were, all that we should be. He foresaw our down-sittings, our hours of depression, our obstinacy, our wanderings into the far country, but He swerved not. Having chosen us, He is going to justify His choice, unless we definitely refuse to let Him have his way.
"'And appointed you.'" Our Master has placed us just where we are, that He might have a suitable outlet for His abundant life, which He longs to pour forth upon the world. Do not repine or murmur at your lot in life, but remember that He has appointed and placed you there. As the branch is nailed to the wall that it may cover it with foliage and fruit, so Christ has placed you where you are. That inevitable circumstance is the rough piece of cloth, that sorrow is the nail, that pain the restraint such as He suffered on the Cross.
"That ye should go." "Whither, Master? .... Into all the world, as My disciples! I have chosen you out of it and now I send you back as My representatives, through whom I may pour out My life and love. Go and bear fruit!"
PRAYER
O Heavenly Master, enable us by Thy grace to fill the opportunity, and do the work that Thou hast assigned. May we not murmur or complain because our place is obscure and the time long, but bear much fruit for Thy glory. AMEN

The Fathers Voice Jn 10:2-5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers John 10:2-5
Kristina Tieken writes " Comedian Michael Jr. makes people laugh for a living, but what happened in the delivery room with his newborn daughter was no laughing matter - it was a heartwarming event.
Studies have shown that babies can recognize a mother’s voice from the womb. Michael’s video shows the great power in a father’s voice as well.
After his baby, Portland, was delivered, Michael greeted his wailing child with a calm voice. His soothing tones and words of comfort stopped her cries as she listened. While the nurse attended to Portland's needs, Michael quieted down and she started to cry again.
When Michael told her “I love you,” she stopped crying and immediately opened her eyes as if she understood what those words meant
In reviewing the video, Michael Jr. couldn't help but be reminded of our relationship with God. He said people will have times when life is heavy and overwhelming, but they can find comfort in knowing they have a father that loves them.
“The key thing to do in those moments is be still and listen for the Father’s voice, because he is trying to talk to you … What he wants you to know is that he loves you. All you’ve got to do is open your eyes.” Kristina Tieken

Back Together Again Jer 17:14 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Jeremiah 17:14 KJVS - 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise
The Humpty Dumpty poem is a great illustration of how we can call on all kinds of human help but they may let us down. In the end, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. But what if someone had called the King? In Jeremiah 17:14 is also translated "God, pick up the pieces. Put me back together again. You are my praise!" This verse reminds us that when we call on God, The King Of Kings for help, He can put us back together again.
When we are broken and in need of help, we can call on God to pick up the pieces and put us back together again. God is there for us when we need Him. He can take our brokenness and make us whole again.
In Hebrews 13:5-6 "for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." This verse reminds us that God is with us in our lives. When we call on Him for help, He can take our brokenness and use it for His glory. We don't have to be afaid.

One Eph 5:31-33 #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS Ephesians 5:31-33 KJV - 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, ordained by God and modeled after Christ and the church. As the apostle Paul wrote, "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church" (Ephesians 5:31-32 KJV). When a husband and wife become one, they share not only their bodies, but also their minds, hearts, and souls. They are no longer two separate individuals, but one flesh in God's eyes.
However, becoming one does not mean losing one's identity or individuality. It means complementing each other, supporting each other, and loving each other as Christ loved the church. It means respecting each other's roles, gifts, and personalities, and honoring each other as heirs of God's grace. It means communicating honestly, forgiving generously, and serving humbly. It means growing together in faith, hope, and love.
Becoming one also does not mean having a perfect or problem-free marriage. It means facing the challenges of life together as a team, with God as the captain. It means not giving up when things get tough, but trusting God to provide a way out. It means not letting the big events overshadow the small moments, but cherishing every day as a gift from God. It means not letting the enemy divide what God has joined together, but resisting him with the power of God's word and prayer.

"ANYTHING BUT PRAYER" 1 Thess 5:17-22 #NormanKissinger #NK #Nightlight #RTTBROS

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 KJV - 16 Rejoice evermore.17 Pray without ceasing.18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.19 Quench not the Spirit.20 Despise not prophesyings.21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.22 Abstain from all appearance of evil
Prayer is indeed a powerful tool that we can use to communicate with God. According to Adrian Rogers, "Prayer is not just getting ready for Christian service. Prayer is Christian service"
It is true that Satan wants more than anything to stop us from praying. This is because he knows that prayer is one of the most powerful weapons we have against him. When we pray, we are inviting God into our lives and asking Him to work on our behalf. This is why it is so important to pray without ceasing ³.
Tracking our prayers in a systematic way can be a great way to see how God is moving in our lives. When we see how God is answering our prayers, it can be a great encouragement to pray more and trust Him more. As Adrian Rogers said, "When we track our prayers in some systematic way, we begin to see and be reminded that God is moving in a profound way on our behalf which will cause us to pray more and God to move more which unleashes God's power and program in a fresh powerful way

Peacefully Sleep Psalms 4:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Psalm 4:8 KJV - 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. From Chuck Swindoll "Peaceful sleep is a gift from God. It is one of the most refreshing and renewing experiences of life. It is also one of the most elusive and least understood. The psalmist David knew the value of peaceful sleep. He wrote, “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8 KJV). David’s words reveal his confidence in God’s protection. He knew that God was his only source of safety and security."
"David’s words also reveal his trust in God’s sovereignty. He knew that God was in control of his life and that he could rest in God’s care. David’s confidence in God’s protection and sovereignty enabled him to sleep peacefully even when he was facing danger and uncertainty. His words are a reminder that we too can rest in God’s care and protection."
"Are you struggling with fear or anxiety? Are you facing danger or uncertainty? Remember David’s words and trust in God’s protection and sovereignty. Rest in the knowledge that God is your only source of safety and security. Sleep peacefully knowing that God is in control of your life."

Our Eyes Are Upon Thee 2 Chron 20;12 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
 2 Chronicles 20:12 KJV - ....we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee
Here is a quote from Max Lucado. “Trusting God with the dire situation, the king said, “Our eyes are on You” (2 Chronicles 20:12). When you encounter trouble and distress and don’t know what to do, remember this moment in Jehoshaphat’s life, and fix your eyes on your mighty God.
A quote from Robert Morgan. “Whenever I haven’t known what to do, I’ve just tried to do what comes next.” Robert J Morgan.
“Doing the next right thing is good advice, but it didn’t sink in for me fully until I started noticing it in the Gospels. So often, right after Jesus performed a miracle, he gave a simple next thing to do.”. Robert J. Morgan.

Walking In The Spirit Gal 5:16-18 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Galatians 5:16-18 KJV - 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Adrian Rogers Said " Ponder this to “walk in the Spirit” means the Spirit is to be the circumference of my walk. If I said to you, “Walk in this building.” That means you are supposed to stay in this building. This building is the parameter, the circumference, the environment, and the element in which you walk. If you step outside this building, you’re not walking in this building."
Adrian Rogers was right when he said that walking in the Spirit means that the Spirit is to be the circumference of our walk. The Holy Spirit is not just a part of our lives; He is our life. He is not just a guide; He is our guide. He is not just a helper; He is our helper. He is not just a comforter; He is our comforter.
When we walk in the Spirit, we are walking in the environment of God’s presence. We are walking in the element of His power. We are walking in the circumference of His love. And when we step outside of that environment, we are no longer walking in the Spirit. We are walking in the flesh

My Defence Ps. 62:1-2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 62:1-2 KJV reads "Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."
This passage is a reminder that we should trust in God and wait patiently for Him to act on our behalf. It is a call to put our faith in God alone and not in anything else. In today’s world, it is easy to get caught up in the things of this world and forget that our true hope and salvation come from God alone. We can be tempted to put our trust in money, power, or other people, but this passage reminds us that God is the only one who can truly save us.
As Christians, we can take comfort in knowing that God is our rock and our salvation. He is our defender and our refuge. When we face difficult times or when we are under attack, we can turn to Him for help and protection. We can trust that He will be with us always and that He will never leave us or forsake us.
For example, when we face financial difficulties, we can trust that God will provide for us. When we are struggling with health issues, we can trust that God for healing power. When we are facing difficult relationships, we can trust that God will give us wisdom and guidance. Whatever challenges we face in life, we can turn to God and trust that He will be there for us.

F.B Meyer THE MORNING COMETH "And the evening and the morning were the first day."-- Gen 1:5.
SIX TIMES these words are repeated, and the one lesson that rings out is that God counts His periods, not as man does from night to night, but from evening till morning. ' Not first the light, and after that the dark; but first the dark, and after that the light." God saw that each night would end in daylight, and that the end of all the nights and all the days would be the eternal day in which there can be no darkness at all. This is what St. John saw: "There shall be no night there, for the Lord God giveth them light" (Rev 22:5). The sun of materialism sets in a black ocean, unlit by the sar of hope. But as long as God is, we believe that He will make a new heaven and new earth; and from out of what seems disappointing and hopeless He will bring a fairer creation than before. Creation shall participate in the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Watchman what of the night? The morning cometh! The darkness will finally pass away before the radiance of the dawn, and this because God is God; He is Love and Light and His Word creates.
So it is with the individual. Life may be dark. Sin is darkness; sorrow is darkness; ignorance is darkness, and these three may be part of your daily lot. But the night is far spent, the day is at hand. For you the morning star is in the sky. The education of your soul is like that of a child at school. How hard and difficult those first days, but when the rudiments were mastered; when the discipline had played its part, then were reaped the harvests of sowing, and darkness was turned to day. Be of good cheer! Even in death there is nothing to fear. "That night they caught nothing; but when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore." The dark waves, as they break around the boat of your life, are bearing you onward to the morning meal upon the golden sands, where you will find that Love has gone before you with its preparations! It shall be evening and morning and lo! the day without night.
PRAYER
O God, the darkness and light are both alike to Thee, and the night shineth as the day. Help us to follow Thee even through the valley of the shadow, and to trust Thee whatever be our lot; until the day dawns, and the shadows flee away. AMEN

Batteling Busyness Matt 5:14-15#Nightlight #RTTBROS Matthew 5:14-15 KJV says “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” This passage is often interpreted as a call to Christians to be open about their faith and not hide it away.
In the context of busyness, this passage can be interpreted as a call to Christians to not let frenetic busyness hide their faith. Instead, they should let their faith shine through in all aspects of their lives. This means slowing down and getting quite enough to really be with God and shine forth his love to those around us.
In conclusion, Christians should not let busyness hide their faith but should let it shine through in all aspects of their lives. This includes being honest and ethical in all dealings with others and taking time to reflect on their relationship with God. By doing so, they can be a light to the world and help others see the love of Christ through their actions.

Beware The Banarang Luke 8:16 #RTTBROS #nightlight
Luke 8:16. “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.”
In the movie Hook, Rufio represents those in life who hide their light under the bed of laziness and don't want to grow up and be responsible. They want to live in the island of lost boys with the rallying cry of "banagarang" so beware the banarang, let your light shine. Luke 8:16 is about not hiding your light under a vessel or bed but letting it shine for all to see. It's a metaphor for not hiding your talents or abilities but using them to help others and make the world a better place.
The concept of "beware the banarang" is about being aware of mindsets and bad habits that hold you back or discourage you from pursuing your responsibities. It's about recognizing that there will always be people who don't want you to succeed and who will try to draw you away from what you really should be doing. But it's important to remember that you have the power to overcome these obstacles and achieve your goals. By letting your light shine and not hiding your talents, you can inspire others and make a positive impact on the world around you.
In conclusion, "beware the banarang" is a powerful concept that encourages us grow up not let anyone or anything hold us back. By letting our light shine and fulfilling all of our roles and goals in life, we can make a positive impact on the world around us and inspire others to do the same. So let us all beware the banarang and embrace our true potential!

Could Your Parrot Stay? Eph 4:29 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Ephesians 4:29 KJV - 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers
President Andrew Jackson had a pet parrot named Poll which was known for its foul language. The story goes that the parrot started uttering obscenities during the former president’s own funeral and had to be removed. The African Grey parrot was removed from his funeral at The Hermitage, Tennessee, for swearing so loud and long it disturbed the attendees.
Ephesians 4:29 is a reminder that our words have power and we should use them wisely. Perhaps we can use some truth from this verse to train our Parrot to use our communication for something more noble than swearing. As a Christian, this verse can be applied in many ways. For example, it can be applied in our relationships with others. We should speak words that are uplifting and encouraging to others instead of tearing them down.
Another way this verse can be applied is in our social media usage. We should be careful about what we post online and how we interact with others on social media. Our words can have a lasting impact on others and we should use them to build others up instead of tearing them down.
Lastly, this verse can be applied in our daily lives. We should strive to speak words that are kind and loving to others. Our words can have a powerful impact on those around us and we should use them to make a positive difference in the world

Call To The Small 1 Thess. 4:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 1 Thessalonians 4:1 KJV - Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more
"Many Christians are in the place that the Lord has appointed them, and yet the devil is harassing their lives with a sense that they are not quite pleasing the Lord. If they could just settle down in the place that God has assigned them and fill it faithfully and lovingly for Him, there would be more joy in their hearts and more power in their lives. God puts us in various places to serve Him, and the secret of accomplishing the most is to recognize our place as designated from Him and our service in it as pleasing to Him. Even in the great factory or the complex machine there is a place for the smallest screw and rivet as well as the great driving wheel and piston. So God has His "small parts" whose business is simply to stay where He puts them and to believe that He wants them there and is making the most of their lives in the little spaces that they fill for Him. There is something all can do, Tho' you're neither wise nor strong; You can be a helper true, You can stand when friends are few, Some lone heart has need of you, You can help along. How ye ought to walk and to please God -1 Thessalonians 4:1." A.B SIMPSON
The quote by A.B Simpson emphasizes the importance of recognizing our place as designated from God and our service in it as pleasing to Him. In other words, we should be content with where God has placed us and serve Him faithfully and lovingly in that place. Even if we feel like we are not quite pleasing the Lord, we should trust that He has appointed us there for a reason and that He is making the most of our lives in the little spaces that we fill for Him.
As modern Christians, we can apply this quote by recognizing that God has placed us in various places to serve Him. Whether it is in our workplace, school, or community, we should strive to fill our designated roles faithfully and lovingly for Him. We should also remember that even the smallest parts are important in God’s plan. Therefore, we should not underestimate the impact that we can have on others by simply being a helper true when friends are few or when some lone heart has need of us

Light for the Landmines Ps. 119:105 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
Psalm 119:105 (KJV), it says “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
John Bevere is right that we have a road map to all of the landmines that litter our journey through this life but we ignore the Bible instead of allowing it to illuminate our path and provide a light for our feet. The Bible is full of wisdom and guidance that can help us navigate through life’s challenges. It is a source of comfort and strength when we are feeling lost or alone.
In Psalm 119:105 (KJV), it says “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” This verse illustrates the point that John Bevere is making. The Bible is like a lamp that illuminates our path so that we can see where we are going. It provides us with guidance and direction so that we can make wise choices and avoid the pitfalls that are waiting for us.
Here are three examples of landmines in our spiritual journey that the Bible warns us about:
Pride - Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) says “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Pride can cause us to think that we don’t need God or that we can do things on our own. This can lead to destruction and a fall.
Unforgiveness - Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV) says “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Unforgiveness can cause bitterness and resentment to grow in our hearts. This can lead to a breakdown in relationships and hinder our spiritual growth.
Lust - James 1:14-15 (KJV) says “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Lust can lead us down a path of sin and destruction. It is important that we guard our hearts and minds against lustful thoughts and desires.
When we ignore the Bible, we are like someone stumbling around in the dark without a flashlight. We are more likely to make mistakes and fall into traps that could have been avoided if we had followed the guidance of the Bible. So let us take John Bevere’s advice and allow the Bible to illuminate our path and provide us with the wisdom and guidance that we need to navigate through life’s challenges.

REAL Faith HEB 11:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Hebrews 11:1 (KJV), it says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
"God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God’s hand as a means. I say—and say it deliberately—trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith…We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.”—George Mueller
This quote by George Mueller is a great reminder that we should not be afraid of trials and difficulties in our lives. Instead of wanting no trials before victory or no exercise for patience, we should be willing to take them from God’s hand as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats are the very food of faith. We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.
In Hebrews 11:1 (KJV), it says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This verse reminds us that faith is not just a feeling or an idea, It is something that we can hold on to even when we cannot see what is ahead. Faith is the evidence that God is working in our lives even when we cannot see it.
In conclusion, let us remember that God delights to increase our faith. We should be willing to take trials and difficulties from His hand as a means to strengthen our faith. Faith is not just a feeling or an idea but it is a something that we can hold on to even when we cannot see what is ahead. Let us trust in God’s love and care for us as He develops more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.

Faith Not Need HEB 11:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Faith is an essential part of prayer. The Bible tells us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). It is through faith that we can approach God in prayer and receive His blessings.
In Matthew 21:22, Jesus says, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” This verse emphasizes the importance of faith in prayer. When we pray with faith, we can be confident that God will answer our prayers according to His will.
God responds to our faith in prayer, not just our needs. In James 5:16, it says “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This verse tells us that it is not just the words we say in prayer that matter but also the attitude of our hearts. When we pray with faith and sincerity, God hears us and responds.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Focus #Nightlight #RTTBROS In an excellent devotion by Dr. Paul Chappel I cam across this illustration of Focus.
"During the Peninsular Campaign, the Duke of Wellington was leading the combined British and Spanish armies fighting against Napoleon. The French emperor had conquered much of Europe, and Wellington was struggling to push him out of Spain. After finding himself repeatedly hounded for a detailed and in-depth accounting of how the army was spending funds, Wellington dashed off a letter laying out and apologizing for a shortage of one shilling and nine pence in a petty cash fund. Then he wrote: "This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty's Government, so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with the best of my ability but I cannot do both: 1. To train an army of uniformed British clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountant and copy boys in London or, perchance, 2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain."
Wellington rightly understood the power of focus and the danger of losing focus. History is repleate with examples of individuals who have maximized their contributions to humanity by having a powerful focus. For example, Einstein was focused on physics, Elon Musk is focused on technology and Shakespeare focused on writing. Warren Buffett, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison.
This power of focus can help us succeed in what we need to accomplish, but can I suggest an overarching focus? Let's focus on hearing "Well done thou good and faithful servant" from the lips of our Father in Heaven. If we can live as faithful Children of God, pleasing Him with how we live our lives we will have been truly successful

Philippians 3:12-14
The Battlefield Ps 42:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
In Psalm 42:5. It says “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.”
I have a bad habit I want to break called negative self talk, another name for it is A.N.T (Automatic Negative Thinking). I find that I say stuff to myself I wouldn't say to my worst enemy. That is not good, Satan is "the accuser of the breathern," and he wants to keep me on his destruction crew, wrecking my own life and effectiveness. I am ready to win this battle.
Psalm 42:5 is a verse that encourages the reader to hope in God and trust in His help. It is a reminder that God is always there for us and that we can rely on Him even when we feel down or discouraged.
This verse can be seen as an example of positive self-talk. By repeating the phrase “hope thou in God,” the psalmist is reminding himself to focus on the positive and trust in God’s help.
There are many verses in the bible that teach the importance of what we say to ourselves on a daily basis, here are just a few....
Romans 12:2 - “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Proverbs 23:7 - “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” *Philippians 4:8 - “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Let's saturate our souls with Scripture like this that can not only elevate our mood but also transform our minds. When we win the battle in our minds we win the battle in life.

BEAUTY FOR ASHES Isa. 61:3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Isaiah 61:3 KJV says “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” This verse is a promise of God’s restoration and transformation. It is a promise that God can transform our captivity into conquering, from sighing to singing and from groaning to glory.
God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful. He can take our ashes and turn them into something new. He can take our mourning and turn it into joy. He can take our heaviness and turn it into praise. He can take our captivity and turn it into conquering.
God is in the business of transformation. He wants to transform us from the inside out. He wants to make us new creations in Christ Jesus. He wants to give us beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness.
So if you are feeling broken today, remember that God can transform your brokenness into something beautiful. If you are mourning today, remember that God can turn your mourning into joy. If you are feeling heavy today, remember that God can turn your heaviness into praise. And if you are feeling captive today, remember that God can turn your captivity into conquering.
Let us pray: Dear Lord, thank You for Your promise of restoration and transformation. Help us to trust You with our brokenness, mourning, heaviness, and captivity. Help us to believe that You can transform our lives from the inside out. Help us to be trees of righteousness, planted by You for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Hiding Place Psalms 32:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
Psalm 32:7 KJV - 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
We hear a lot about "safe space or safe place" I think I have one of those but it isn't a place instead it is a person, God. Before you dismiss the idea out of hand consider the above verse and the following thoughts.
In this verse, we see that God is our hiding place.
(Our safe space.) He is the one who protects us during the troubles that we face in life. This concept doesn't mean trouble won't come, but it does mean trouble won't destroy us. Think of a tornado shelter in the South, a family will shelter in one and the storm will rage without but they are not destroyed. They may have lost some things but they are not destroyed. When we are feeling overwhelmed and afraid, we can turn to Him for comfort and safety. He is always there for us, ready to wrap us in His loving arms and keep us safe.
Remembering that God can work all things together for our good. We don't have to worry because God is always watching over us. He knows what we need before we even ask Him, and He is always ready to provide for us.
Finally, the verse says that God will compass us about with songs of deliverance. This means that He will surround us with His love and grace. When we are feeling down and discouraged, He will lift us up and give us hope. He will fill our hearts with joy and peace, and we will be able to sing His praises.
In conclusion, Psalm 32:7 is a beautiful reminder of God's love and protection for us. It tells us that we can always turn to Him for help and comfort, and that He will never leave us or forsake us. So let's take comfort in these words today and trust in God's unfailing love for us.

Choice Ahead! Gal. 6:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7
A sign over a freeway said "Who hates speeding tickets, raise your right foot." It means you have agency, you have the ability to make choices. while you are free to make any choice you like you are not free from the consequences of that choice.
This verse reminds us that we are responsible for our actions and the consequences that follow. We have the freedom to make choices, but we must also be prepared to face the consequences of those choices.
It's important to remember that some storms in life are self-generated by foolish or wicked choices. When we make poor decisions, we can create problems for ourselves that can be difficult to overcome. However, it's never too late to turn things around and make better choices.
As Christians, we are called to live a life of righteousness and obedience to God's will. This means making choices that honor God and reflect His love and grace. When we do this, we can trust that God will guide us through any storm and help us overcome any obstacle.
In conclusion, let us remember that our choices have consequences. We must be mindful of the decisions we make and strive to live a life that honors God. When we do this, we can trust that God will guide us through any storm and help us overcome any obstacle.

Crisis Prayer Rom 8:26-28#Nightlight #RTTBROS
Romans 8:26-29 KJV - 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
"What to pray when you don't know what to say":
When we are in times of crisis in our lives and we are so broken and shattered that all we can say is "Oh God"...Oh God", it is important to remember that the Holy Spirit makes that prayer into a powerful petition to a God who cares. Romans 8:26-29 KJV says "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
When we don't know what to pray, we can ask for guidance and the power of grace to hear divine instructions. Pour out your heart to God, even if you don't understand what to pray, and trust that the Holy Spirit will intercede for you. Psalm 143:1 is a verse that can be prayed when you don't know what to pray ¹.
One of the best ways to pray when you don’t know what to say is to trust in God and lean on His Word. Immerse yourself in it. While fear may continue to show up for you, when you acknowledge and truly believe that God is in control, anything is possible.
“When you don’t know what to say, just say Jesus. There is power in the name, the name of Jesus. If the words won’t come cause you’re too afraid to pray, just say Jesus.” – Just Say Jesus from 7eventh Time Down Just as the words to the song say, there is power in the name of Jesus!

What Do I Do James 4:17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS The Bible has a verse that says "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17 This verse emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing when we know what it is.
In times of crisis, it is easy to fall into fight or flight mode. However, there is often a third response that happens - "Freeze." We fall into the paralysis of analysis. We don't know what to do so we do nothing. Instead, the strategy is to do the next right thing to keep moving forward.
When we are faced with difficult situations, it can be hard to know what the right thing is. But if we take a step back and look at the situation objectively, we can often see what needs to be done. It may not be easy, but doing the right thing is always worth it in the end.
Doing the right thing can also mean different things to different people. It can mean being honest when it's hard or standing up for what you believe in. Whatever it means to you, remember that doing the right thing is always the best choice.

REMEBER THE BENEFITS Psalms 103:2-5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm 103:2-5 KJV)
The Psalmist David reminds us of the many benefits we receive from God. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from destruction, crowns us with love and mercy, and satisfies our desires with good things. We should never forget these benefits and always be grateful for them.
God's forgiveness is a gift that we do not deserve. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). But God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life (John 3:16). When we confess our sins to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9).
God's healing power is also a gift that we can receive through faith. Jesus healed many people during His ministry on earth, and He still heals today. We can pray for healing for ourselves or others and trust that God will answer our prayers according to His will (James 5:14-15).
God's redemption is another gift that we can receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He has redeemed us from the curse of sin and death and given us eternal life (Galatians 3:13-14). We are no longer slaves to sin but are free to live for God (Romans 6:22).
God's love and mercy are also gifts that we can receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and has shown us mercy by not giving us what we deserve (Psalm 103:10). We can trust in His love and mercy every day of our lives.

Son Shine Psalms 113;3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 113:3 (KJV) says “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.” This verse reminds us that we should always be praising God for all that He has done for us.
Psalm 145:9-10 (KJV) says “The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.” This verse reminds us that God’s love is always with us and that we should always be praising Him.
Sunflowers are known for their ability to turn their heads towards the sun as it moves across the sky. This is called heliotropism. It is a beautiful reminder of how we should always be facing the Son of God in our lives.
The sun is a beautiful reminder of God’s love for us. It provides warmth and light to the earth, which in turn provides a warm inviting place for bees to come and pollinate bringing new life. Similarly, as Christians, we should be inviting to others and help bring new life into the world by sharing the love of Christ.

Fly His Banner Ps. 20:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Psalm 20:5 KJV says "We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions."
There are many stories of soldiers grabbing banners and turning the tide of battle. One such story is from the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. On July 2, 1863, Union General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered his men to take a Confederate position on Cemetery Ridge. As they advanced, a Union soldier named Sergeant William H. Carney grabbed the American flag and ran forward, despite being shot several times. He planted the flag on the Confederate position and held it there until reinforcements arrived.
Setting up banners in the name of God means to honor God and celebrate His faithfulness. In the past, banners were used as military equipment to assemble, direct, distinguish, and encourage troops. They might have been used for other purposes as well.
In the context of Psalm 20:5 KJV, setting up banners means to wage war in God's name and make His glory our end in every expedition. We should ask counsel at His mouth and take Him along with us. We should follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.
Spiritual warfare is a biblical concept involving the struggle against evil forces. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12, where Paul speaks of putting on the full armor of God: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”
Here are three truths about spiritual warfare:
-
Spiritual warfare is real. The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle against evil forces. We must be prepared for this battle by putting on the full armor of God.
-
Spiritual warfare is not just about us. It is also about God's glory. We should make His glory our end in every expedition and follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.
-
Spiritual warfare is not just about fighting against evil forces but also about living a life that honors God. We should live a life that is pleasing to God and that reflects His love and grace to others.

Tired People 2 Chr 15:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV says "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded."
All important work that has ever been done was done by tired people. This is because important work requires effort and dedication. It is not always easy to stay motivated when we are tired or when we don't see immediate results. However, it is important to remember that we do the work first and then the motivation or reward comes, not the other way around. If we sit and wait for motivation or reward to come first, we will be in a stuck state and never get anything done.
For example, if you want to lose weight, you have to put in the work of eating healthy and exercising regularly before you see any results. If you wait for motivation or reward to come first, you will never lose weight. Similarly, if you want a clean house, you have to put in the work of cleaning it before you can enjoy a clean home. If you wait for motivation or reward to come first, your house will never be clean.
2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV says "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded." This verse reminds us that we should not give up on our work and that we should remain strong in our faith. It is also a reminder that our work will be rewarded. We should not be discouraged by the challenges we face in life but rather we should remain steadfast in our faith and trust that God will reward us for our hard work.

No Racing Ps 46:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
"Be still and know that I am God." This is what the Lord says in Psalms 46:10 KJV. It's a reminder that we need to quiet our racing minds and focus on Him. When we do this, we can see things more clearly and find peace.
Isaiah 26:3 KJV says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." This means that when we keep our minds focused on God, He will give us perfect peace.
Think of a snow globe. When you shake it up, you can't see the beautiful scene inside. But when you stop shaking it and let the snow settle, you can see everything clearly. The same is true for our minds. When we quiet our racing thoughts and focus on God, we can see things more clearly.
We live in a world that is constantly moving and changing. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what's important. That's why it's so important to take time each day to be still and focus on God.
When we take time to be still and focus on God, we are reminded of His love for us. We are reminded that He is in control and that we don't have to be. We are reminded that He has a plan for our lives and that everything will work out for our good.
So today, take some time to be still and focus on God. Let Him fill you with His peace and love. Let Him remind you of His goodness and faithfulness. And let Him guide you as you navigate this crazy world we live in.

Break Out Of The Bucket Rom 1:16+17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." - Romans 1:16 (KJV)
The power of Christ is not just a concept or an idea. It is a living force that can transform our lives and give us hope in the darkest of times. When we put our faith in Christ, we are tapping into a power that is greater than anything we could ever imagine.
In his book "Six Hours One Friday," Max Lucado delves into the meaning of Jesus' last hours on the cross. He writes about how Jesus' death was not just a tragic event, but a powerful demonstration of God's love for us. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death and gave us the power to live new lives in him.
There is a story about a man who was walking along a beach one day when he saw another man fishing in the surf with a bait bucket beside him. As he drew closer, he saw that the bait bucket had no lid and had live crabs inside.
"Why don't you cover your bait bucket so the crabs won't escape?" he asked.
"You don't understand," the man replied, "If there is one crab in the bucket it would surely crawl out very quickly. However, when there are many crabs in the bucket, if one tries to crawl up the side, the others grab hold of it and pull it back down so that it will share the same fate as the rest of them."
This story illustrates how we can be like those crabs in our own lives. We can be held back by our fears and doubts, by our past mistakes and failures. But when we put our faith in Christ, we are set free from those things that hold us back. We are given new life and new hope.
So let us not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Let us embrace it with all our hearts and allow it to transform our lives from the inside out.

God called his shots to call me home Galatians 4:4-7 #Nightlight RTTBROS God went through an amazing amount of trouble in order to be able to bring us home to him. he allowed Alexander the Great to conquer the bulk of the known world so that Greek could become the world language. the Bible would then be accessible to the entire world. Dig into tonight's study to find the lengths God will go to to bring you home to Abba's house
Plateau Of Latent Potential Rom 12:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
Romans 12:2 says: "Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
What does it mean to be transformed by the renewing of your mind? It means to change the way you think, feel, and act according to God's word and will. It means to let go of the worldly values, habits, and attitudes that keep you from living a godly life. It means to allow God to work in you and through you by his Spirit and grace.
But how does this transformation happen? Is it instant or gradual? Is it easy or hard? Is it visible or invisible?
The truth is, transformation is often a slow process. It takes time, effort, and perseverance. It involves trials, tests, and challenges. It requires faith, hope, and love.
Think of an ice cube. When you put it in a warm room, it starts to melt. But you don't see any change until it reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Until then, it looks solid and frozen. But inside, there is a lot of activity going on. The molecules are moving faster and faster, breaking the bonds that hold them together. The ice cube is changing from a solid to a liquid state.
The same is true for us. When we expose ourselves to God's word, his presence, his people, and his purposes, we start to melt. But we don't see any change until we reach a certain point. Until then, we may look the same as before. But inside, there is a lot of activity going on. Our thoughts are changing, our feelings are changing, our actions are changing. We are changing from being conformed to this world to being transformed by God.
This is what James Clear calls the Plateau of Latent Potential. He says: "Breakthrough moments are often the result of many previous actions, which build up the potential required to unleash a major change."
So don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results in your transformation. Don't give up if you face obstacles or setbacks in your journey. Don't compare yourself with others who may seem more advanced or successful than you.
Remember that God is working in you and for you. He has a good plan for your life. He will complete what he started in you.
As Max Lucado says: "God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus."
So keep melting. Keep renewing your mind. Keep following God's will.
And one day, you will see the change.

Prayer Master Class 3 Ps 33:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #NormanKissinger #NK Tune in tonight and find out how a veteran pastor Brings more lessons on prayers that touch the heart of God and transform our hearts and lives. "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright." - Psalm 33:1 (KJV)
As we begin our prayer time, let us start with a Psalm and allow it to guide us into the presence of God. Psalm 33 reminds us to rejoice in the Lord and to praise Him for His goodness. Let us take the time we need in prayer to sense the presence of God and to truly connect with Him.
In our prayers, let us seek the heart of God. Let us ask Him how He feels about the situations and people we are praying for. When we seek God's heart, we align ourselves with His will and His plans for our lives.
It's important to come to God with a heart to know Him and to serve Him. Our attitude and heart in prayer are infinitely more important than our posture in prayer. Let us humble ourselves before God and ask Him to transform us through our prayers.
Prayer is not just about changing the situation or the people we are praying for, but it's also about allowing God to do a transformative work in us. Let us surrender ourselves to God and allow Him to work in our hearts and minds.
In conclusion, let us remember to start our prayers with a Psalm, seek the heart of God, come to Him with a heart to know and serve Him, and allow Him to transform us through our prayers. As we pray, let us trust in God's goodness and His plans for our lives.

Lombardi Time Pro. 9:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Vince Lombardi was a legendary coach who instilled discipline and respect in his players. He demanded that they arrive early, and if they were not 15 minutes early, they were considered late. Lombardi's strictness and training produced some of the best football players in history.
In Proverbs 9:10, the Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Lombardi's coaching style reminds us of the importance of discipline and respect, but the fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
The fear of the Lord is not a fear of punishment or retribution, but a reverence and awe for God. It is recognizing His power, His authority, and His holiness. When we fear the Lord, we acknowledge that He is the Creator of the universe, and we are His creation.
Just as Lombardi demanded respect and obedience from his players, God also deserves our respect and obedience. He has given us His Word, the Bible, as a guide for our lives. When we follow His commands, we show our reverence for Him and our trust in His wisdom.
As we seek to grow in wisdom, let us remember the importance of the fear of the Lord. Let us approach Him with reverence and awe, acknowledging His power and authority. And let us follow His commands, trusting in His wisdom and guidance for our lives.

PAINTING $20 BILLS #Nightlight #RTTBROS Painting $20 Bills "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." Col 3:23-24
Zig Ziglar tells of a thief, a man named Emmanuel Nenger. The year is 1887. The scene is a small neighborhood grocery store. Mr. Nenger is buying some turnip greens. He gives the clerk a $20 bill. As the clerk begins to put the money in the cash drawer to give Mr. Nenger his change, she notices some of the ink from the $20 bill is coming off on her fingers which are damp from the turnip greens. She looks at Mr. Nenger, a man she has known for years. She looks at the smudged bill. This man is a trusted friend; she has known him all her life; he can’t be a counterfeiter. She gives Mr. Nenger his change, and he leaves the store.
But $20 is a lot of money in 1887, and eventually the clerk calls the police. They verify the bill as counterfeit and get a search warrant to look through Mr. Nenger’s home. In the attic they find where he is reproducing money. He is a master artist and is painting $20 bills with brushes and paint! But also in the attic they find three portraits Nenger had painted. They seized these and eventually sold them at auction for $16,000 (in 1887 currency, remember) or a little more than $5,000 per painting. The irony is that it took Nenger almost as long to paint a $20 bill as it did for him to paint a $5,000 portrait!
It’s true that Emanuel Nenger was a thief, but the person from whom he stole the most was himself. Signs of the Times, Oct. 1988, pp. 22-3"
The story of Emmanuel Nenger is a reminder of the consequences of our actions. Nenger was a master artist who could have used his talents to create beautiful works of art that would have brought joy and inspiration to many. Instead, he chose to use his skills to create counterfeit money, which ultimately led to his downfall.
As Christians, we are called to use our talents and abilities to glorify God and serve others. In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells the parable of the talents, in which a master gives his servants different amounts of money to invest while he is away. The servants who invest wisely are rewarded, while the one who buries his talent is punished.
We may not all be artists like Nenger, but we each have unique gifts and abilities that we can use to make a positive impact in the world. It is up to us to decide whether we will use our talents for good or for evil.
Let us remember the words of Colossians 3:23-24, "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." May we use our talents to serve the Lord and bring glory to His name.

MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER JN 15:13 #Nightlight #RTTBROSToday, we remember the heroes who served our nation in the armed forces, especially those who gave their lives for our freedom. As we honor their sacrifice, let us also remember the truth that our founding fathers understood well: "The tree of liberty is fertilized by the blood of patriots." (Thomas Jefferson) These brave men and women paid the ultimate price so that we can live in freedom today.In John 15:13, Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." We are grateful for the love and sacrifice of these fallen heroes, who laid down their lives for us, their fellow citizens and friends. We pray for their families, who have empty chairs at their dinner tables tonight. We ask that you heal their hurt hearts and bring provision to their families. We know that you are a God of love and comfort, and we trust that you will wrap them in your love and assure them of our love for them.As we remember these heroes, let us also remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for us all. In Romans 5:8, it says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." We are grateful for the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, who gave his life so that we could have eternal life. Let us honor his sacrifice by living our lives in a way that honors him and the sacrifices of those who have gone before us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros

Burj Khalifa Firm Foundation Matt 7:24-27 #Nightlight #RTTBROSMatthew 7:24-27 KJVS - 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.A Firm FOUNDATIONThe tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, rises more than 2,700 feet—over half a mile tall. It has 160 floors and is twice as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City. It is home to the world’s fastest elevator that travels at 40 miles per hour. The Burj Khalifa also hosts the world’s highest outdoor observation deck (on the 124th floor) and the world’s highest swimming pool (on the 76th floor).But the secret to the stability of this massive building is found underground. Before construction began to rise up, workers spent a year digging and pouring the massive foundation that supports the building. The foundation contains some 58,900 cubic yards of concrete weighing more than 110,000 tons. The building is safe because the foundation is solid.Godly and righteous living is important as a matter of obedience, but there are also many wonderful benefits that follow as a result. When we live according to God’s principles of wisdom, we receive His blessing, but we also establish a firm foundation for our lives and our families.In Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV), Jesus tells us that whoever hears His words and does them is like a wise man who built his house upon a rock. When the rains came down and the floods came up, his house stood firm because it was founded on a rock. But whoever hears His words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house upon sand. When the rains came down and the floods came up, his house fell because it was founded on sand.Just like how the Burj Khalifa stands tall because of its solid foundation, we too can stand firm when we build our lives on God's Word. Let us strive to be like wise men who build their houses upon rocks so that when life's storms come our way, we will not be shaken.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
The Ultimate Protection Ps 90:9-10 #nightlight #RTTBROSDevotion:Psalms 91:9-10 KJV says, "Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."These verses remind us that when we make the Lord our refuge and habitation, we are under His ultimate protection. We can trust in Him to guard us from all evil and keep us safe from harm.God's protection is not just physical, but also spiritual. He even sends His angels to watch over us and guide us on our journey. When we have faith and trust in Him, we can rest assured that we are in good hands.In times of fear and uncertainty, we can find comfort in knowing that God is our refuge and our safety. We can pray for His protection and ask for His wisdom to guide us through difficult times.We are assured as believers we are safely held in God's hand. That means that anything that touches us had to go through the filter of his fingers. We can trust God's watchcare over us.Let us surrender our fears and worries to God and trust in His promises. He will guard us from all harm and keep us safe in His loving arms. May we dwell in His presence and find peace in His protection.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Changing The Subject Isa 55:8 #NightLight #RTTBROS. #NK #NormanKissinger Title: Changing the SubjectVerse: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." - Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)Devotion:When we come to God in prayer, we often have a specific request in mind. We may be praying for a loved one's healing, a job opportunity, or a change in our circumstances. We pray persistently and with great intensity, hoping that God will hear our prayers and answer them according to our desires.But sometimes, instead of answering our prayers in the way we expect, God changes the subject. He shows us how we need to change in order for His will to be accomplished. He may reveal to us areas of our lives that need to be surrendered to Him, or He may challenge us to trust Him more fully.It can be frustrating when God doesn't answer our prayers in the way we want Him to. We may feel like our prayers are falling on deaf ears or that God doesn't care about our situation. But the truth is that God always hears our prayers, and He always has our best interests at heart.God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. We may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen or why He doesn't answer our prayers in the way we want Him to. But we can be sure that He is always working for our good and His glory.When God changes the subject, it's an opportunity for us to grow closer to Him and to become more like Him. It's an opportunity for us to trust Him more fully and to surrender our will to His. It's an opportunity for us to see things from His perspective and to align our desires with His.So the next time you find yourself praying persistently and with great intensity about a situation or person, be open to the possibility that God may change the subject. Don't be discouraged or disheartened. Instead, trust that God knows what He's doing and that He has a plan for your life.Remember the words of Isaiah 55:8, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Trust in God's wisdom and guidance, and allow Him to change you from the inside out.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Comforter John 14:15-16 #Nightlight #RTTBROSComforterJohn 14:15-16 says, "John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;."The word "comforter" in this verse is translated from the Greek word "Paraclete." The etymology of this word is fascinating as it means "one who is called alongside" or "one who comes to help." It is a term used in a legal context to refer to someone who speaks on behalf of another person in a court of law. In this context, Jesus is telling his disciples that he will send them a helper who will be with them forever.The English word "comfort" comes from the Latin word "confortare," which means "to strengthen." The idea of comfort is not just about making someone feel better, but it is also about giving them the strength to endure difficult times. When we are going through challenging situations, we need someone to come alongside us and give us the strength to keep going. This is what the Holy Spirit does for us.The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, our Paraclete, who comes alongside us to help us in our time of need.

Strong Finish 1 Cor 15:58 #Nightlight #RTTBROSWell, my dear friend, let me tell you something that the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians. He said, "1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord"Now, let me paint a picture for you. Imagine a farmer who's out there in the field, planting seeds, tilling the soil, and watering the crops. He's working hard, but he doesn't see the fruits of his labor right away. He knows that it takes time and patience for the seeds to grow into a bountiful harvest.In the same way, my friend, when you do the work of the Lord, you may not see the results right away. You may face challenges and setbacks, but don't give up. Keep pushing forward, keep fighting the good fight, and know that the Lord is with you every step of the way.Think of a marathon runner, running mile after mile, pushing through the pain and exhaustion. They may not see the finish line right away, but they know that with perseverance and determination, they will cross it.So, my dear friend, be steadfast, be immovable, and keep abounding in the work of the Lord. Don't let the enemy discourage you or make you doubt yourself. You are doing important work for the Lord, and He is pleased with your efforts. Keep planting those seeds, keep running that race, and know that in the Lord, your labor is never in vain.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Belling The Cat Pro 14:15 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps." PRO 14:15 In Aesop's "Mice in Counsel," a group of mice gather to discuss how to deal with the threat of a cat. One mouse suggests putting a bell on the cat so they can hear it coming, but another mouse asks who will bell the cat. The mice realize that while the idea may sound good, it is not practical without a plan to execute it.This story illustrates the danger of taking action without thinking it through. In Proverbs 14:15, it says, "The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps." It is important to carefully consider the consequences of our actions before we act.Similarly, in Luke 14:28-30, Jesus teaches about the importance of planning before taking action. He says, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?...lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him."In conclusion, the story of the mice in counsel reminds us to think carefully before taking action and to consider the practicality of our plans. As Proverbs 19:2 says, "Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet."Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Dealing With "Not Enough" 1 Tim 6:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe verse from 1 Timothy 6:8 in the King James Version says, "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content." This verse reminds us that we should be content with the basic necessities of life, such as food and clothing. In our modern American world, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that success is defined by what we have or what others have. We often compare ourselves to others and feel like we need to keep up with the Joneses.However, as Christians, we need to learn the importance of contentment. Contentment is finding joy and satisfaction in what we have, rather than always wanting more. It's about being grateful for the blessings we have, rather than focusing on what we lack.When we rely on God to meet our daily needs, we can find contentment in each day. We don't need to worry about keeping up with others or accumulating more possessions. Instead, we can trust that God will provide for us and be content with what we have.In Philippians 4:11-12, Paul writes, "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." Paul learned the secret of contentment, which was to rely on God in all circumstances.As we strive to find contentment in our lives, let us remember the words of 1 Timothy 6:8. Let us be content with the basic necessities of life and trust that God will provide for us. Let us focus on being grateful for what we have, rather than always wanting more. And let us find joy and satisfaction in each day, knowing that we are meeting God's standard of success by relying on Him.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
A Encouraging Word Isa 41:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." ISA 41:10Have you ever been in a situation where you felt discouraged and hopeless? Maybe you were going through a difficult time and felt like giving up. In times like these, we need to hear encouraging words that lift us up and give us hope. The Bible is full of encouraging words, and one verse that always brings me comfort is found in the book of Isaiah.Isaiah 41:10 says, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." This verse is a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles. God is with us, and He will strengthen us and help us through whatever we are facing.When we feel discouraged, it's easy to focus on our problems and forget that God is in control. But Isaiah 41:10 reminds us that God is our God, and He is with us. We don't have to be afraid or dismayed because He will strengthen us and help us. And not only that, but He will uphold us with His righteous right hand.Max Lucado, a well-known Christian author, often writes in a style that is both encouraging and relatable. He reminds us that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. Lucado writes, "You are never alone. Not for a second. And you need not fear. God is with you. He is in you. He is for you. You can face anything, for His presence is your peace."So today, let us remember Isaiah 41:10 and the encouraging words it brings. Let us not be afraid or dismayed, but instead, let us trust in God's strength and help. And let us take comfort in the knowledge that we are never alone, for God is with us always. As Max Lucado says, "God's love is like a river, constantly flowing, always giving, never-ending. And it is this love that gives us the courage to face each day with hope and joy."Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Kiss The Wave Isa 43:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." ISA 43:2Charles H. Spurgeon was a man of great faith who experienced many trials and difficulties in his life. One of his most famous quotes is, "I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages." This quote is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of life's storms, we can find hope and security in God.The waves that Spurgeon refers to are the trials and difficulties that we all face in life. These waves can be overwhelming and frightening, but they can also be an opportunity for us to draw closer to God. As Spurgeon says, these waves can throw us up against the Rock of Ages, which is a reference to God's steadfast love and faithfulness.One verse that speaks to this idea is Psalm 18:2, which says, "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." This verse reminds us that God is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. He is the one who can protect us and keep us safe in the midst of life's storms.Another verse that speaks to this idea is Isaiah 43:2, which says, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." This verse reminds us that even when we are going through difficult times, God is with us. He will not let us be overwhelmed by the waves or consumed by the fire.So today, let us remember Spurgeon's words and learn to kiss the waves that throw us up against the Rock of Ages. Let us trust in God's steadfast love and faithfulness, knowing that He is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. And let us take comfort in the knowledge that even in the midst of life's storms, God is with us, protecting us and keeping us safe.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
HIDDEN Strength Phil. 4:13 #Nightlight #RTTBROSTitle: Hidden StrengthScripture: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13 (KJV)Devotion:Anatoli, a weight trainer and fitness model, disguises himself as a janitor and pranks big, strong bodybuilders in the gym by moving and lifting weights that are almost too heavy for them to lift. This is surprising to them because Anatoli is small framed but incredibly strong. His hidden strength is a source of amazement and inspiration to those who witness his feats.As Christians, we too have a hidden source of strength - the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and He is the source of our power, wisdom, and guidance. He is the one who empowers us to do all things through Christ who strengthens us.Just as Anatoli's hidden strength surprises and inspires those around him, our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit can surprise and inspire those around us. When we face challenges and difficulties, we can tap into the power of the Holy Spirit to give us the strength we need to overcome them.The apostle Paul knew the power of the Holy Spirit in his life. He wrote, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13, KJV). Paul faced many challenges and difficulties in his life, but he knew that he could do all things through Christ who strengthened him.As we face challenges and difficulties in our own lives, let us remember that we have a hidden source of strength in the Holy Spirit. Let us tap into His power and allow Him to strengthen us to do all things through Christ. Just as Anatoli's hidden strength inspires those around him, our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit can inspire those around us to trust in God's power and provision.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Help us to tap into His power and strength to face the challenges and difficulties of life. May our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit inspire those around us to trust in Your power and provision.

The Farther Country Luke 15 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Farther Country Luke 15The story of the prodigal son in Luke chapter 15 is a powerful reminder of the love and grace of our Heavenly Father. It also teaches us an important lesson about chasing after those who have strayed from the path of righteousness.In verse 13, we read that the prodigal son "took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." This is a clear indication that the son had already made up his mind to leave and was not interested in staying with his father any longer. If the father had chased after him, he would have only run further and faster away from him.Sometimes, we may find ourselves in a similar situation where we have a loved one who has strayed from the faith or is living a life that is contrary to God's will. Our natural instinct may be to chase after them and try to bring them back to the fold. However, we must remember that just like the prodigal son, they have to make the decision to come back on their own.In verse 20, we see the father's response when the prodigal son finally returns home. "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." The father did not chase after his son, but he was always watching and waiting for him to return. When the son finally did come back, the father welcomed him with open arms and showed him unconditional love and forgiveness.This is a powerful reminder that God is always watching and waiting for us to return to Him. He does not force us to come back, but He is always ready to welcome us with open arms when we do. We must trust in His timing and have faith that He will bring our loved ones back to Him in His own way and in His own time.In conclusion, the story of the prodigal son teaches us that chasing after a prodigal may only cause them to run further away. Instead, we must trust in God's timing and have faith that He will bring them back to Him in His own way and in His own time. Let us always remember that our Heavenly Father is always watching and waiting for us to return to Him, and He will welcome us with open arms when we do.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Cautionary Tale Matt 5:16 #Nightlight #RTTBROSVerse: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16 (KJV)Devotion:As Christians, we are called to be a light in the world, shining the love and truth of Christ to those around us. But how we live our lives will determine whether we are a warning or an example to those around us. Our actions and attitudes have the power to either caution others about the dangers of a life lived apart from God or to inspire them to follow Christ.The trajectory of our lives is determined by the choices we make each day. We can choose to live for ourselves, pursuing our own desires and ambitions, or we can choose to live for God, seeking to honor Him in all that we do. The path we choose will determine whether our lives are cautionary or laudatory.If we choose to live for ourselves, we may achieve success and gain the admiration of others, but our lives will ultimately be empty and meaningless. On the other hand, if we choose to live for God, we may face challenges and difficulties, but our lives will be filled with purpose and joy.So, what do you choose? Will you live for yourself or for God? Will you be a cautionary tale or an example to others? Let us choose to let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. May our lives be a testimony to the transforming power of Christ and an inspiration to those around us.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Perseverance Through the Fog #Nightlight #RTTBROSPerseverance Through the FogVerse: Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) - "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"In 1952, Florence Chadwick was a world-renowned swimmer who had already accomplished many feats in her career. She had swum the English Channel twice and had set multiple world records. Her next challenge was to swim from the California coast to Catalina Island, a distance of over 20 miles.On the day of the swim, Chadwick set out with a team of supporters and a boat to guide her. The first few hours of the swim went smoothly, but as she got closer to Catalina Island, a thick fog rolled in. Chadwick couldn't see anything beyond a few feet in front of her.Despite the fog, Chadwick kept swimming. She knew she was close to the island, but she couldn't see it. Her team urged her to keep going, but after hours of swimming, Chadwick became exhausted and started to doubt herself. She couldn't see the end in sight, and she began to wonder if she would ever make it to Catalina Island.Finally, after more than 15 hours of swimming, Chadwick gave up. She climbed back onto the boat, defeated and disappointed. As the boat made its way back to shore, the fog lifted, and Chadwick realized that she had been just a few miles from the island when she gave up. She had been so close, but she couldn't see it because of the fog.Chadwick was devastated, but she didn't give up. She knew that she had to try again. A year later, she attempted the swim and completed it.Hebrews 12:1 encourages us to run the race of life with patience, laying aside any burdens or sins that may hinder our progress. Like Chadwick, we may face moments of doubt and uncertainty, when the fog of life's challenges makes it difficult to see our destination. However, we must remember that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, those who have gone before us and successfully completed their own races.Chadwick's story teaches us that even when we feel defeated, we must not give up. Instead, we should draw strength from our faith and the examples of those who have persevered before us. When we face our own "foggy" moments, let us remember Chadwick's determination and resilience, and let it inspire us to keep moving forward, trusting that God will guide us through the fog and bring us to our destination.In times of doubt and uncertainty, let us pray for the strength and perseverance to continue our journey, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. And when the fog finally lifts, we will see that we were closer to our goal than we ever realized.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
River Of Love #Nightlight #RTTBROSRiver Of Love "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." - 1 John 4:16 (KJV)"God's love is like a river, ever-flowing, ever-deepening, ever-widening. It is a love that never runs dry, that never fails, that never gives up on us. It is a love that is patient and kind, that always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. It is a love that is beyond our understanding, yet it is a love that we can experience in our hearts and lives.Let us then open our hearts to God's love, and let it flow through us like a river, touching the lives of those around us. Let us be channels of God's grace, bringing hope and healing to a hurting world. And let us never forget that we are loved beyond measure by our Heavenly Father, who has poured out his love upon us through his Son, Jesus Christ.May we all be filled with the love of God today and always, and may we share that love with others, so that they too may know the joy and peace that comes from knowing him."

War No More James 4:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROSHere's a devotion based on James 4:1-3 in the KJV:Make War No More"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" - James 4:1Throughout history, there have been many stupid wars that have been fought. Wars like "The War of the Whiskers," "The War of the Oaken Bucket," and "The War of Jenkins' Ear." These wars were fought over trivial things and resulted in the loss of many lives.James asks the question, "From whence come wars and fightings among you?" The answer is simple: they come from our own lusts and desires. We want what we want, and we are willing to fight for it. But when we surrender to God unconditionally, we no longer feel compelled to be at war with each other.When we surrender to God, we realize that our desires are not as important as we thought they were. We begin to see things from His perspective, and we understand that there are more important things in life than getting our own way.We also begin to see others as God sees them. We realize that they are not our enemies, but our brothers and sisters. We begin to love them as God loves them, and we no longer feel the need to fight with them.Draw near to God, surrender your pride to him and find a peace that passes understanding will now guard you heart and mind.

POWER OUTAGE ACTS 1:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe book of Acts is a powerful testimony of the early church and the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells his disciples, "Acts 1:8 -But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.." This verse speaks to the incredible power that comes from the Holy Spirit and the impact it can have on our lives and the world around us.The Holy Spirit is not just a force or an idea, but a person who is part of the Trinity. He is the power of God at work in our lives, guiding us, comforting us, and empowering us to do the work of God. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we are given a supernatural power that enables us to live a life that is pleasing to God and to be effective witnesses for Him.However, sin can break our connection with God and cut us off from His power. Sin is a dangerous thing that can lead us down a path of destruction and away from the will of God. When we allow sin to take hold in our lives, we are essentially telling God that we don't need His power or His guidance. We are cutting ourselves off from the very source of our strength and our hope.The good news is that God is always ready and willing to forgive us when we turn away from our sin and turn back to Him. He is a loving and merciful God who desires to see us live powerful lives of purpose.

The Pit Isa 43:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROSIsaiah 43:2 (KJV), "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." In times of darkness and trial, we often feel alone and unable to see the light. But just as the stars can be seen from the depths of a dark well, the promises of God are often clearest to us in our darkest moments. When we are in the furnace of affliction, God is with us. It is in our most desperate sorrows that we can have our happiest experiences, for it is then that we can truly see the light of heaven undistracted by the shadows of earth.The Bible tells us in Isaiah 43:2 (KJV), "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." This verse reminds us that even in the midst of our trials, God is with us and will protect us from harm. We can take comfort in knowing that our trials are not in vain, but are a means by which God can reveal His promises to us and draw us closer to Him.The Bible is full of stories of people who faced great trials and tribulations, but who also experienced the presence and faithfulness of God in the midst of their struggles. Jacob, for example, wrestled with an angel of God all night long, and only when he was at his weakest did he receive a blessing and a new name from God. Joshua faced the seemingly impossible task of conquering the fortified city of Jericho, but with God's help, he was able to bring down its walls. And Abraham, who had waited many years for a promised son, was finally blessed with Isaac in his old age.These stories remind us that God is always with us, even when we can't see Him or feel His presence. When we face trials and difficulties, we can take comfort in knowing that God is using these experiences to shape us and mold us into the people He wants us to be. Just as a potter uses heat and pressure to shape clay into a beautiful vessel, God uses our trials to refine us and make us more like Him.The Bible tells us in Romans 8:28 (KJV), "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." This verse reminds us that even the most difficult and painful experiences in our lives can be used for our good and for God's glory. When we trust in God and His promises, we can have hope and peace even in the midst of our trials.So if you are going through a difficult time right now, remember that God is with you. He sees your pain and He cares about you deeply. He is using your trials to shape you and mold you into the person He wants you to be. And in the end, you will come out stronger and more resilient than ever before.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Blessings Mark 10:45 #Nightlight #RTTBROS For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45The story of the balloons is a beautiful illustration of how we can find happiness through serving others. Just like the students in the balloon story, when we focus on the neBallooneds of others, we often find that our own needs are met in ways we never expected.In the story, a teacher brought balloons for her class and had each student blow up a balloon and write their name on it. Then, she took them into the hall and scattered the balloons. The students tried to search for the one with their name, but they couldn't find it even after the five minutes was up. The teacher scattered the balloons again then had each kid pick up the first balloon they came to and take it to the person whose name was on the balloon. Within two minutes, they all had the balloons at the right person.This story reminds us that when we serve others, we may not always know exactly how our actions will impact them. But we can trust that God will use our service to bless others in ways we may never know. And just like the students found happiness in delivering the balloons to their rightful owners, we too can find happiness in serving others and making a positive impact in their lives.The Bible teaches us that serving others is not only a way to find happiness, but it is also a commandment from God. In Mark 10:45, Jesus says, "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." This verse reminds us that Jesus Himself came to serve others and give His life for us, let's follow His example.

The Gratitude Key Ps 136:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROSO give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." - Psalm 136:1 (KJV)Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can transform our lives. When we cultivate an attitude of gratitude, we become more aware of the blessings in our lives and are able to appreciate them more fully. As we focus on what we have rather than what we lack, we experience greater joy, contentment, and peace. Here are a couple of excellent gratitude quotes and a verse from the bible that can inspire us to cultivate an attitude of gratitude:"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." - Melody Beattie"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." - Marcus Tullius Cicero"O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." - Psalm 136:1 (KJV)As we reflect on these quotes and verse, we can see that gratitude is a powerful force that can transform our lives. When we focus on what we have rather than what we lack, we are able to appreciate the blessings in our lives more fully. We can turn a simple meal into a feast by being grateful for the food we have to eat. We can turn a house into a home by being grateful for the shelter and comfort it provides.

Tragedy to Triumph Isa 26:3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." The hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" is a beloved classic that has brought comfort and hope to countless Christians over the years. The lyrics were written by Horatio G. Spafford, a successful lawyer and businessman who lived in Chicago in the late 1800s. Spafford was a devout Christian who had experienced many trials in his life, including the death of his young son and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed much of his property.In 1873, Spafford planned a trip to Europe with his wife and four daughters. However, at the last minute, he was unable to join them due to business obligations. His family set sail on the SS Ville du Havre, but tragically, the ship collided with another vessel and sank in the Atlantic Ocean. Spafford's four daughters were among the 226 passengers who perished in the disaster.When Spafford received the news of his daughters' deaths, he was devastated. Yet in the midst of his grief, he penned the words to "It Is Well With My Soul." The hymn expresses his deep faith in God and his trust that even in the darkest moments of life, God is still in control and can bring peace to the soul.One of the verses that inspired Spafford's hymn is found in the book of Isaiah, chapter 26, verse 3: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Just as Spafford found comfort in his faith during his darkest hour, we too can find peace and hope in Christ, no matter what trials we may face. The hymn's chorus echoes this sentiment, declaring, "It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul." This simple yet powerful declaration reminds us that our ultimate peace and joy come not from our circumstances, but from our relationship with God.The hymn has continued to resonate with Christians around the world, and its message of hope and trust in God has brought comfort to countless people in times of trial. It reminds us that even when we face the most difficult circumstances, we can still find peace and hope in Christ.As we reflect on the story behind "It Is Well With My Soul," let us remember that our faith in God can sustain us through even the darkest moments of life. Let us fix our minds on Him and trust in His unchanging love and faithfulness. And let us join with Spafford in declaring, "It is well with my soul."

Master The Minutes Pro 6:6-11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Devotion: Mastering the MinutesProverbs 6:6-11 (KJV) says, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."This passage speaks to the importance of diligence and hard work. The ant is a small creature, but it is wise and diligent in gathering food during the summer and harvest seasons. It does not need a guide, overseer, or ruler to tell it what to do. It simply knows what needs to be done and does it.The concept of "Master the minutes and the months and years will take care of themselves" is all about focusing on the present moment and making the most of it. We cannot control the future, but we can control what we do with our time right now. By mastering our minutes, we are taking control of our lives and setting ourselves up for success in the future.In the passage from Proverbs, the sluggard is warned about the consequences of his laziness. He is told that his poverty will come upon him like an armed man. This is a powerful image that reminds us of the importance of being diligent and hardworking. We cannot afford to be lazy or complacent, for this will lead to our downfall.But if we are willing to put in the hard work and effort required, we can achieve great things. We can build successful careers, create strong relationships, and make a positive impact on the world around us. All of this starts with mastering our minutes and making the most of every opportunity that comes our way.So let us take this lesson to heart and commit ourselves to being diligent and hardworking. Let us focus on the present moment and make the most of every opportunity that comes our way. By doing so, we can trust that God will take care of the months and years ahead, and we will be able to achieve the success and prosperity that we desire.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Good Question Ps 119:9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS As we go through life, it is important to ask ourselves good questions. The psalmist in Psalm 119:9 asks, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." This question reminds us that we need to turn to God's word for guidance and wisdom. We need to seek His truth and apply it to our lives.Another example of asking good questions is found in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:17. The son asks himself, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger?" This question leads him to return to his father and seek forgiveness. It reminds us that we need to reflect on our emotions, actions, and decisions, and seek to make things right when we have gone astray.As we ask ourselves good questions, we can also turn to God's word for answers. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This verse reminds us to trust in God and seek His guidance in all areas of our lives.May we always turn to God's word for guidance and wisdom, and may we ask ourselves good questions that lead us closer to Him.

The Gift Of Today Ps. 118:24 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe Gift Of Today.Scripture: Psalm 118:24This is the day that the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 Greetings, my dear friends! Today, I want to talk to you about a beautiful truth that we often overlook in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. It is the fact that every day is a gift from God, a fresh opportunity to celebrate and be grateful for all that He has done for us.Do you remember the excitement you felt as a child on your birthday? The anticipation of what the day might hold, the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, and the thrill of receiving presents? Well, my friends, every day is like a birthday of sorts, because it is a day that the Lord has made.As I’ve gotten older, birthdays have lost some of their magic. But I still love the idea of a day that’s set apart from all the others. A day to celebrate, to remember, to be gratefulPsalm 118:24 reminds us to rejoice and be glad in every day, no matter how ordinary or difficult it may seem. We can find reasons to be grateful in the people we love, the beauty of creation, and the simple pleasures of life.But let us not forget that our joy is not dependent on our circumstances. Even in the midst of trials and challenges, we can find joy in the Lord, knowing that He is with us, He loves us, and He is working all things together for our good.So, my dear friends, let us make the most of this day that the Lord has made. Let us keep our eyes open for the blessings that He has given us, and let us share our joy with others, spreading the love of Christ wherever we go. For this is the day that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Transformed for Fruitfulness: Trusting God's Plan John 12:24 #Nightlight #RTTBROSVerse: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." - John 12:24 (KJV)Devotional:In John 12:24, Jesus uses the illustration of a corn of wheat to teach us about the power of growth and transformation. He tells us that unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it will remain alone. But if it dies, it will bring forth much fruit.This verse reminds us that growth often requires sacrifice. Just as a seed must be buried in the ground and die in order to grow into a plant, we too must be willing to let go of old habits, attitudes, and ways of thinking in order to grow and transform.But the good news is that when we do let go and allow ourselves to be transformed, we can bring forth much fruit. Just as a single seed can grow into a bountiful harvest, our own growth and transformation can have a powerful impact on the world around us.So let us be like the seed that falls into the ground and dies, trusting that God will bring forth new life and growth in us. And let us be willing to let go of anything that is holding us back, knowing that the fruit of our transformation will be worth the sacrifice. May we be a source of hope and inspiration to those around us, bringing forth much fruit in our lives and in the lives of others.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Rumble Strip Rom 13:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROSMy dear friends, have you ever driven on a long stretch of highway, feeling the monotony of the road lull you into a drowsy state? It's a dangerous situation, isn't it? One moment of inattention, and you could find yourself drifting off the road, into danger.But thank God for the rumble strip on the side of the freeway! That simple, unassuming strip of grooves in the pavement can be a lifesaver. It's designed to jolt you awake if you start to drift off course. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!" His Word to keep us from drifting off course in our spiritual lives. In Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul says, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."My friend, it's high time we awake! We live in a world that is constantly trying to lull us into spiritual slumber. We can become so focused on the things of this world that we forget about the things that matter most. We can become so comfortable in our routines that we forget about the urgency of the Gospel.But just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, God's Word is there to wake us up. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!" It's a reminder that our time on Earth is so transitory. Let us be vigilant and watchful, knowing that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Let us not be caught off guard by the cares and distractions of this world, but let us be focused on the things that matter most.And just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, let us be grateful for the warnings that God has given us in His Word. Let us be quick to repent and turn back to Him when we find ourselves drifting off course.And may we always remember the words of Romans 13:11, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Amen.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Squatters Phil 4:8 #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Hello, friends. This is RTTBROS Podcast I want to talk to you today about the most valuable piece of real estate in the world - your mind.You see, your mind is a precious gift from God. It's where you process information, make decisions, and form relationships. It's where you store memories, dreams, and hopes for the future. And yet, so often, we allow negative thoughts, sinful desires, and awful self-talk to take up residence in our minds, like squatters who refuse to leave.But here's the thing: you don't have to let them stay. You have the power to evict them and replace them with something better.The Bible tells us in "Philippians 4:8 KJV - 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.."So, instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Fill your mind with God's Word, worship music, and positive affirmations. Surround yourself with people who encourage and uplift you.And when those negative thoughts and sinful desires come knocking, don't let them in. Instead, take them captive and replace them with the truth of God's Word.Remember, your mind is the most valuable piece of real estate in the world. Don't let the squatters of sin, negative thinking, and self-talk take up residence. Evict them and replace them with something better.And when you do, you'll find that your life will be transformed. You'll experience greater peace, joy, and contentment. You'll be more confident, more hopeful, and more resilient. And you'll be better equipped to face whatever challenges come your way.So, my friends, I encourage you today to take a moment and evaluate what's taking up residence in your mind. Are there any squatters that need to be evicted? If so, ask God for the strength and wisdom to do so. And then, fill your mind with what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.As the apostle Paul wrote in "Romans 12:2 KJVAnd be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.."May God bless you as you seek to renew your mind and live according to his will. Thank you for joining me today.

Nobody Did It James 2:15-18 #Nightlight #RTTBROSIf a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.James 2:15-18 You may have read the old story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.Sometimes people struggle to determine God's will for their lives. While there may be questions about major issues like where to live or in what specific role to serve the Lord, there are other cases in which there is no doubt at all. When God brings people who need our help across our paths, we are supposed to do what we can to help them. Of course, no one can meet every need, and many people have needs greater than we can meet. But we are to do what we can to help those we can, because we love them as God commands us to. James wrote, “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well” (James 2:8). We certainly should pray for and with people who are hurting, but we must also be ready and willing to do our part to be the answer to their prayers. If God has given us the ability to meet needs, we need to do it rather than hoping someone else will.Today's Growth Principle: We should always do whatever we can to help meet the needs of the people God brings into our path.

The Giving Tree Gal 6:7-8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Devotion:Every Action You Take Is a Vote for the Person You Want to BecomeAs believers, we are called to live a life that is pleasing to God. We are called to be holy, just as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16). This means that every action we take, every decision we make, is a vote for the person we want to become. We have the power to shape our own destiny, to become the person that God has called us to be.In the book of Galatians, we read, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Galatians 6:7-8, KJV). This means that every action we take has consequences. If we sow seeds of selfishness, greed, and pride, we will reap destruction. But if we sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity, we will reap the abundant life.In the book of Proverbs, we read, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23, KJV). This means that our actions are a reflection of our heart. If we have a heart that is focused on God, we will make decisions that honor Him. But if our heart is focused on ourselves, we will make decisions that dishonor Him.So, every action we take is a vote for the person we want to become. We have the power to shape our own destiny, to become the person that God has called us to be. Let us choose to sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity, and keep our hearts focused on God.Illustration:In the children's story "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein, we see the concept of every action being a vote for the person we want to become illustrated in a powerful way. The story is about a tree that gives everything it has to a boy who keeps coming back to it throughout his life. At first, the boy takes the tree's apples and plays in its branches. As he grows older, he takes the tree's branches to build a house and then its trunk to build a boat. Finally, when the boy is an old man, he comes back to the tree and asks for a place to rest. The tree offers its stump, and the boy sits down and rests.Throughout the story, we see the tree giving selflessly to the boy, even though it means sacrificing its own well-being. The tree's actions are a reflection of its heart, which is full of love and generosity. The boy's actions, on the other hand, are a reflection of his heart, which is focused on himself. He takes and takes from the tree, without ever giving anything back.In the end, the boy realizes the error of his ways and sees the tree for what it truly is: a symbol of love and selflessness. He realizes that every action he took was a vote for the person he wanted to become, and he decides to change his ways. He sits down on the tree's stump and rests, finally at peace.This story reminds us that every action we take is a vote for the person we want to become. We can choose to be like the tree, giving selflessly and reflecting the love of God. Or we can choose to be like the boy, taking and taking without ever giving anything back. Let us choose to be like the tree, and sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity in everything we do.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
90 Percent Solution Pro 18:21 #Nightlight #RTTBROS One of Chuck Swindoll's most famous quotes is, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." This statement reminds us that we have a choice in how we respond to the circumstances of life. We can choose to react with fear, anger, and bitterness, or we can choose to respond with faith, hope, and love.The Bible has much to say about the power of our words and our attitudes. Proverbs 18:21 in the KJV says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." This verse reminds us that our words have the power to bring life or death. We can speak words of encouragement, hope, and love, or we can speak words of discouragement, despair, and hate.James 1:19-20 in the KJV says, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." This verse reminds us to be slow to speak and slow to anger. We should listen carefully before we speak, and we should not allow our emotions to control our words and actions.As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in the world. We are called to be a positive influence on those around us, to speak words of life and hope, and to respond to the circumstances of life with faith and love.

Say and See HEB 11:6 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Hebrews 11:6 in the KJV says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." This verse reminds us that faith is essential to our relationship with God. We must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.I have heard it said, "If we say what we don't see, eventually we will see what we say." This statement is a powerful reminder of the importance of our words. Our words have the power to shape our thoughts, our attitudes, and our actions. If we speak words of doubt and unbelief, we will eventually begin to see the world through that lens. But if we speak words of faith and hope, we will begin to see the world through the lens of God's promises.Hebrews 11:6 encourages us to have faith in God and to believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. This means that we must speak words of faith and hope, even when we don't see the evidence of God's promises in our lives. We must declare that God is faithful, that He is good, and that He is working all things together for our good.As we speak these words of faith, we will begin to see the world through the lens of God's promises. We will begin to see His hand at work in our lives, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.

The 411 On Worship Rev 4:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Have you ever stopped to wonder why we worship God? Is it because He needs our worship? Does He crave our adoration and praise? The truth is, God doesn't need our worship. He is complete and whole in Himself. However, we need to worship Him.Revelation 4:11 says, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We were created for God's pleasure, not the other way around. Our worship of Him is not for His benefit, but for ours.Max Lucado once said, "We don't worship God to get His attention. We worship God to align our attention with reality." When we worship God, we are acknowledging that He is the Creator of all things and the source of all goodness in our lives. We are aligning ourselves with the truth that we are not in control, but God is.Worshiping God also brings benefits into our lives. When we are properly aligned with God, we experience peace, joy, and contentment. We are able to see our lives from a new perspective and find meaning and purpose in our existence. We are able to trust God and rely on Him to guide us through life's challenges.So my friend, let us worship God not because He needs our worship, but because we need to worship Him. Let us align ourselves with reality and receive the benefits that come from being properly connected to Him. Let us give Him the glory, honor, and power that He deserves. For He is worthy of our worship, and in worshiping Him, we find true life and fulfillmentOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros

THE CHOICE Mark 15:34-39 #Nightlight #RTTBROSlisten to this account of the Crucifixion and what it means by Joni Erickson TadaJONIOn your back with you!” One raises a mallet to sink in the spike. But the soldier’s heart must continue pumping as he readies the prisoner’s wrist. Someone must sustain the soldier’s life minute by minute, for no man has the power on his own. Who supplies breath to his lungs? Who gives energy to his cells? Who holds his molecules together? Only by the Son do “all things hold together”. The victim wills that the soldier live on – he grants the warriors continued existence. The man swings.His Father! He must face his Father like this!From Heaven the Father now rouses himself like a lion disturbed, shakes his mane, and roars against the shriveling remnant of a man hanging on a cross. Never has the Son seem the Father look at him so, never felt even the least of his hot breath. But the roar shakes the unseen world and darkens the visible sky. The Son does not recognise these eyes.Of course the Son is innocent. He is blamelessness itself. The Father knows this. But the divine pair have an agreement, and the unthinkable must now take place. Jesus will be treated as if personally responsible for every sin ever committed.The Father watches as his heart’s treasure, the mirror image of himself, sinks drowning into raw, liquid sin. Jehovah’s stored rage against humankind for every century explodes in a single direction.“Father! Father! Why have you forsaken me?!”But heaven stops its ears. The Son stares up at the One who cannot, who will not, reach down or reply.The Trinity had planned it. The Son endured it. The Spirit enabled him. The father rejected the Son whom he loved. Jesus, the God-man from Nazareth, perished. The Father accepted his sacrifice for sin and was satisfied. The Rescue was accomplished.Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away, rising He justified, freely forever, and one day He’s coming, Oh glorious day!Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros

If I Perish Est 4:15-17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Mercifully most of us are not faced with the literal life or death consequences when we're called to take a stand for christ. We would like to think that we might make the right choice in such a situation that's not guaranteed. When Christ warned Peter that he would deny him Peter completely rejected the idea. "But he speak the more vehemently if I should die with thee I will not deny thee in any wise likewise also said they all" Mark 14:31 yet when he was pointed out as a follower of Jesus Peter sworn oath that he didn't even know the Lord when we are faced with speaking up for God or keeping silent we must trust God enough to obey him no matter what the consequences of that choice will be.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros

The H.A.T. of Maturity James 4:6-10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS The acronym H.A.T. from biblical principles!H - Humility: In the Bible, humility is often praised as a virtue. Proverbs 22:4 says, "4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.." This verse suggests that being humble and recognizing our own limitations is an important part of our relationship with God. Jesus himself demonstrated humility when he washed his disciples' feet, showing that even the Son of God was willing to serve others.A - Accountability: The Bible also emphasizes the importance of accountability. In James 5:16, we're told to 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much ." This verse suggests that we need to be accountable to one another, admitting our mistakes and seeking forgiveness. Proverbs 27:17 also says, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." This verse suggests that we need other people in our lives to hold us accountable and help us grow.T - Teachability: Finally, the Bible encourages us to be teachable. Proverbs 1:5 says, "5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:." This verse suggests that we should always be open to learning and growing, seeking out wisdom and guidance from others. Jesus himself was a great teacher, and he often used parables and stories to help his followers understand important truths.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros

Every Weight HEB 12:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS We can't just shed one burden, we need to drop every weight that slows us down. We can't just steer clear of one sin, we need to let go of the sin that so easily entangles us. We can't just begin the race of faith, we need to run with endurance until the finish line.Let's not let anything hold us back from the life God has for us. Let's not let our past mistakes or present struggles keep us from running towards the future He has planned. Let's drop the weights and run with endurance, trusting that God will give us the strength to finish the race. lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.RSS feed https://anchor.fm/s/127be410/podcast/rsshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
Watch The Little Things Rom 7:13 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbros"Sin ... exceeding sinful."Romans 7:13 A Christian may grow by degrees so callous, that the sin which once startled him does not alarm him in the least. By degrees men get familiar with sin. The ear in which the cannon has been booming will not notice slight sounds. At first a little sin startles us; but soon we say, "Is it not a little one?" Then there comes another, larger, and then another, until by degrees we begin to regard sin as but a little ill; and then follows an unholy presumption: "We have not fallen into open sin. True, we tripped a little, but we stood upright in the main. We may have uttered one unholy word, but as for the most of our conversation, it has been consistent." So we palliate sin; we throw a cloak over it; we call it by dainty names. Christian, beware how thou thinkest lightly of sin. Take heed lest thou fall by little and little. Sin, a little thing? Is it not a poison? Who knows its deadliness? Sin, a little thing? Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes? Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy? Do not little strokes fell lofty oaks? Will not continual droppings wear away stones? Sin, a little thing? It girded the Redeemer's head with thorns, and pierced his heart! It made him suffer anguish, bitterness, and woe. Could you weigh the least sin in the scales of eternity, you would fly from it as from a serpent, and abhor the least appearance of evil. Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be "exceeding sinful."Charles Surgeon from Morning And Evening …………….Beloved, let us not be deceived by the subtle nature of sin. When we first come to Christ, our hearts are tender and our spirits are sensitive to the slightest offense against God. But as we journey through life, the world around us can harden our hearts and make us more susceptible to the allure of sin. Even as Christians, we can become callous to the sin that once caused us to tremble. We may begin to justify our actions, saying, "It's just a little sin. It's not that bad." But make no mistake, sin is a poison that can slowly destroy us from the inside out. It may start small, but it can grow and spread like a cancer, until it consumes us completely.We must be vigilant and guard our hearts against the insidious nature of sin. We cannot afford to be complacent or casual in our approach to sin. We must remember that even the smallest sin can have devastating consequences. Like the tiny foxes that spoil the vineyard, or the coral insect that builds a rock that wrecks a navy, sin can have a ripple effect that goes far beyond what we can see.Let us not be deceived by the lies of the enemy, who seeks to downplay the seriousness of sin. Let us instead look to the cross of Christ, where sin was defeated once and for all. Let us see sin for what it truly is - a deadly poison that seeks to destroy us. And let us cling to the grace and mercy of our Lord, who has the power to forgive us and set us free from the bondage of sin. May we never forget the weight of our sin and the price that was paid for our redemption.

Active HEB 4:12 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #Adrian Rogers says this about the Bible. The Power of God's Word"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12God's Word is powerful. It is not just a collection of stories and teachings, but it is alive and active. It has the power to change lives, to convict hearts, and to transform the world.When we read the Bible, we are not just reading words on a page. We are encountering the living God and His truth. As we meditate on His Word, it penetrates deep into our hearts and reveals our true thoughts and motives.The Bible is also a sword, cutting through the lies and deceptions of the enemy. It exposes the darkness and brings light to the truth. It is a weapon in our spiritual battles, helping us to overcome temptation and stand firm in our faith.So let us not take the Word of God lightly. Let us read it, study it, and meditate on it daily. Let us allow it to transform our hearts and minds, and to guide us in all that we do. And let us share its power with others, that they too may come to know the truth and be set free.Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Linkshttps://linktr.ee/rttbrosBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.

Seeking Christmas Ps. 111:1-4 #Nightlight #RTTBROSThe story of Christmas has a great deal of seeking involved in the details. Joseph and Mary searched without success for a room in Bethlehem. The shepherds had to seek out the manger where Jesus was laid, just as the angels had told them. The wise men searched Jerusalem, causing a great stir in their search for the King of the Jews before the star that had announced Jesus' birth led them to the house in Bethlehem where Joseph and Mary were staying. But the greatest search of all was the one Jesus came to do. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

Of course the gift of Jesus is the “unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15)—a gift so precious there are no words that can adequately describe it. Yet that is far from the only gift that we received because of Christ’s coming. As David put it, God “daily loadeth us with benefits” (Psalm 68:19).

Thoughts about Thanks Ps. 100 #nightlight #RTTBROS Thoughts On Thanks Ps. 100:1-6 #nightlight #rttbros
Dear Father above we are so prone to grumble and quick to complain. Please forgive us and redirect our lips and lives to thanks and praise especially on this day. Today as a nation we collectively gather to remember your goodness to us as a nation and in our lives. This great nation was founded to worship freely and you have blessed us beyond measure. We live in warm houses and have access to transportation. Thanks for even the hard things in our lives because they force us to grow. Be in a special way with those not able to gather around the family table as they are defending us or keeping us safe and secure, like the military, and first responders. Be with family that have lost loved ones this year we know these holidays can be hard on them, give a peace that passes understanding. Help us all draw close to each other as we be never know how long we are loaned our loved ones. Most of all draw us all close to you we need you so much more than the stuff we will be buying during this next month. Help us find the truth godliness with contentment is great gain. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Amen.

Taste and See Ps.34:8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight. Have you noticed that kids often refuse try new food. They have no reason to refuse but they do. They may love it if they would just try it. But they will never know till they do. Have you tried God, the Bible says " O Taste and see that the Lord is Good." There are many aspects of a relationship with God that are indescribable and can only be appreciated by personal experience.
Brian Tubbs explains it this way. As it is written, ‘There is none righteous, no, not one.'” (Romans 3:10, KJV) Quoting from the Psalms, the apostle Paul declares that no single human being is “righteous” (the meaning of which is best understood as “right with God”).
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23, KJV) Lest someone protest that they are a good person, especially when compared to people they know or observe in the news or in their workplace (or wherever), Paul points out that the standard isn’t your neighbor, but rather God Himself.
It isn’t enough that you compare yourself to another human being and think “Well, I’m not as bad as him.”
The standard is God’s holiness. And all of us fall short of that standard.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23, KJV) Having established that we are all sinners who fall short of God’s glory, Paul explains that the “wages” (or earnings) of our sin is “death.” This includes both physical death and spiritual death.
Physical death is when your soul separates from your body. Spiritual death is when your soul is separated from God. And this separation from God extends into eternity for those who die in their lost and sinful state.
Because of our sin, we face the reality and inevitability of both physical death and eternal separation from God.
Paul, however, doesn’t leave us with just bad news. He mentions that the “gift of God” is “eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” And to further explain this, we step back a chapter in Romans to go to the next milestone marker in the Romans Road.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, KJV) God doesn’t leave us in our sinful state. He doesn’t leave us with the prospect of facing both physical and spiritual death. There is, as they say, “more to the story.”
Paul says that God demonstrated or commended (gave) love to us even when we didn’t deserve it. Even when we were deep in sin, “Christ died for us.”
What do we do this information? Well, for that, we come to the final passage of the Romans Road.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13, KJV) The bad news is we all fall short of God’s glory and we all face both physical and spiritual death because of it. The good news is that God loved us, sent Jesus to die for us, and anyone who calls upon “the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
For a deeper explanation of what it means to call on the name of the Lord, Romans 10:13 should be read and understood in the context of the verses which precede it. As a kid, I was taught to memorize Romans 10:9-10 as well as 10:13. But honestly, as our pastor made clear in his sermons, verses 9 through 13 of chapter 10 all beautifully speak to the plan and promise of God’s love and salvation.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Paul the Apostle, Romans 10:9-13, KJV If you want to understand what it takes to have your sins forgiven, to be save
Sing Eph 5:19 #RTTBROS #Nightlight. I've noticed over the last few decades the Christians seem to have lost their song. I don't mean they don't sing in church because they do, what I do mean is that you seldom hear Christian singing outside of church. We need to be singing at work, around the house with our friends, singing God songs filled with God's truth. If you want to turn your life around start with some songs.

God has answered the prayers of the Churches in the Western United States by dipping into what the Book of Job calls the "Treasures of Snow and Hail."

Thank God for His Treasure Of Snow!

The angel that announced the birth of Messiah to Joseph gave him the name for the baby, Jesus which literally meant "Jehovah saves." Tune in to todays podcast and find out the application to that name.

There is no Crown without a cross there is no Triumph without trial. The distressing Seasons we go through down here are kind of basic training for those of us who are Christ's followers. Christ went through a season of satanic attack in the wilderness early in his ministry and endured the Cross at the culmination of his Ministry. If Christ went through this as the sinless Son of God we should expect suffering seasons to come into our lives. How are you doing in counting it all joy when you go through trials?

We All have circles of people we are acquainted with and related to. Not everyone in that circle is in our "Corner". Someone in your corner is patching you up, encouraging you to fight on. Know who to invite into your corner. Some people come into our lives for a reason, they serve a specific purpose and teach us specific lessons and when the lesson is done the Lord moves them on. Some people are in our lives for a season, they are in your circle and corner but only for a time then they are moved. Very few people will be in your circle or your corner for the entirety of your life. Thank God for all of these people.

What to Do with our Hurts
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isa 25:8-9 KJV
Don't Rehearse them (replay them over and over in your imagination)
Don't Nurse Them (don't feed the negative emotions by looking for more wrong being done to you)
Don't Curse Them (Don't become so negative that you feel under a curse and don't curse those who hurt you...don't go down to their level)
Do give them to God so he can Reverse them. (We serve a God who can turn trials into triumphs...he can restore the years the locust have eaten and he can give us double for our trouble but we must give our hurts over to Him completely) Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links https://linktr.ee/rttbros

We tend to only want a fraction of God just enough to keep us out of Hell when we die but not enough to keep us from sin here on Earth.

Sometimes in trying to find God's purpose for our lives, we tend to look for the supernatural and the Splashy. Well it is true sometimes God does those supernatural and very impressive things often God leads us step-by-step moment-by-moment over the course of a lifetime into finding his will and purpose
last time, we laid the foundation for the idea of the priesthood of the believer in the need for the believer to be
doing ministry as effectively as they can, especially in these in times, and especially when the incorporated church, the church, as a body as a whole may not be able to minister at the same level as they used to, especially as there's more persecution and more resistance to the church in the outward corporate plural form. So tune in to find out how to be an effective last day priest
believe that the church is going to be placed in a situation where individual Christians are going to have to often minister on their own without a lot of large church structure. In the past, even when I grew up, back in the late 60s, early 70s, the church was still very strong in America, and the church institution had lots of power had lots of influence. And we roll ahead the clock
now, some 50 years. And that is just simply not the case as much anymore. In fact, Christianity went from being revered and respected back in the 70s. To the place now where literally Christians are hated and theirs are already open persecution happening to the individual Christians. So the church in America is going to have to function a whole lot more like it has in other countries and I said that on those two opening and beginning videos on the series here. We're going to have to be like the persecuted church overseas and how they functioned. We're gonna have to be like the early church and how it functioned, where are the outside structure is not as important as the strength of the individual Christian. Now, that's not to say that we're not to meet together, all Christians should meet together on a regular basis. It was Jesus's habit, it said, to go into the synagogue, once a week, it was sort of the early Christians that they met every day. So we can use that as a standard that at least on a weekly basis, where we are to be gathering with other believers, as we have the opportunity to do so. And I'm not also saying that there should not be corporate ministry going on in the church. But the church has done a pretty good job of doing a corporate ministry, they have churches have their different ministries, both local and overseas. And, and I don't know what church that doesn't have many ministries going on, that they're involved in their, in their communities, we often get complaints that the church does not do that. But the reality is, is that I don't know a church that doesn't have ministry is going on, and in all different denominations.

How long does it take to save the world. it turns out 6 hours! On that first Good Friday over 2000 years ago Jesus secured our Salvation on the cross let's dig into Mark's account of those six hours and find some anchor points for our life today.
If Jesus was all-powerful why didn't he come down from the cross. If Jesus was all knowing how come he didn't find another way besides the cross. the truth of the matter is the cross was God's idea from eternity past. The Bible describes Jesus as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. In the cross and all holy God became himself a sacrifice for his sin shattered creation. On the Cross the Greatest transaction in human history took place, I gave him my sin and guilt and He gave me His Salvation and Grace.
If you're going through an excruciating time right now Jesus knows exactly how you feel. Tomorrow we remember his crucifixion on a day called Good Friday. it's good Friday because a good God took all our bad sins and put them on his Son. God made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. So listen to tonight's devotion, and learn about the greatest transaction in all of human history. on Good Friday Jesus took all our guilt and gave us his grace
There are certain seasons in life when your circumstances will be like waves washing over you or the wind threatening to blow you away. But be of good cheer, Jesus is here and those circumstances that are over your head are under his feet

This is Norman Kissinger from redeeming the time brothers ministries and podcasts. And today we're going to finish up our series that we started several weeks ago on the process of repentance and prayer in the early church. And one of the things that we can always do as Christians is go back to the Bible and go back to the foundations of our faith in order to understand any subject to make sure that we're doing things in a way that would be pleasing to the Lord as Christians. And so we've been talking about repentance, and we talked about how that repentance says one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity. In fact, churches almost completely avoid the word or the idea of somehow believing that it condemns people. And the reality is, is that that's a completely a lie from Satan. Repentance has nothing to do with condemnation. The Bible says that we're fearfully and wonderfully made. The Bible tells us that God loved us so much that He died for us, He sent His Son to die for us. And so this idea that repentance is something that is evil and bad and and is only about condemning people is simply a lie from Satan. Repentance is the most important process in Christian growth. And Christian should be participating in repentance in their lives as they go along on their day to day walk. Now, we looked at many things over in the book of Acts. And as we studied repentance, we talked about the the idea that repentance and the Old Testament says, and the words and the Hebrew words, they're meant 180 degree turn in the opposite direction, that speaks to behavior in the New Testament, in the Greek mind, which they were thinking people and people philosophy, they, their word means to change one's mind. And so notice in both of those, whether it's the behavior or it is the thinking process, it's simply to go in a different direction, either with your behavior or with their thinking, or both. It's it speaks nothing to the worth worthiness or worthlessness of the person who is involved in the process. In fact, in the Old King James, there was a couple of times in the Old Testament, where the God says that he repented of something that he did, I believe that the King James said, and you can look up this passage in the King James, I believe, but when he was talking to Moses as he repented of, of his choosing the people Israel. And so that was the idea that he just was changing his mind in regards to them. And so in change, look at them from a different perspective. There's repentance is agreeing with God, about who I am, and what I need to accomplish in life and where I stand, it's agreeing with God about the good, the bad, and the ugly of me, and the good and the bad, and the ugly of the world around me, and the good and the bad, and the ugly of other people. And that's all that repentance is it's agreeing with God. In some sense, every prayer that we pray should be a prayer of repentance, because we should be agreeing with God with what we do, and what we believe. And so here in the book of Acts, we're going to review some of the things we talked about, which creates repentance and revival, as found in the first couple of chapters of the book of Acts. And we'll use this and just review some of those concepts. As I mentioned earlier, when we go back to the early church, we can find God's plan for how revival and repentance takes place in the life of the Christian. And so using our early brothers and sisters in Christ, the very beginning of the church in both in the book of Acts, both chapter one and two. We discovered many principles there. But one of the principles we talked about was the idea of prayer, that prayer was pre eminent in the early church, not even preaching, not have been studying the Word that prayer was imminent in the early church. And so prayer has to be imminent in the life of the Christian and in fact, our failure in the Christian Church in America has, if we're honest with ourselves has to do with our lack...

We are afraid of many things some are legitimate fears Gos placed within us to keep us out of unnecessarily dangerous situations. Most fears though are us amplifying situations and blowing the danger out of proportion. Rather than be afraid of man and man's opinion we should have a reverential respect for God, he is our creator, redeemer, and ultimately our Judge. We need to be concerned what the Judge will say when we stand before him. What will you say when He asks you what you have done about Jesus and His sacrifice on the Cross for you
The Tables Have Turned Luke 16:24-25 #Nightlight RTTBROS Down here in this old sin cursed planet we find ourselves part of the fellowship of His (Christ's) suffering, as Believers the world is against us.

The Danger of crowd sourcing Prov 4:12 #Nightlight RTTBROS Some things in life it's okay to outsource or crowd source.

You can never crowd source your moral decisions by just letting the majority make the choice for you. You need a moral map meaning to help you...the infallible Word of God. It is truth settled forever in Heaven
Your life, the quality of Your life will be determined by the size of your God. Get a big view of God, see him as the omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, God who can speak a cosmos into existence and suddenly you will see he has the wisdom and power to help you in your day to day battles

There is a great physician, the great physician really and that is Jesus. Discover how he left the corridors of heaven, and came down to minister healing to your Sin sick soul.
Mark Twain at a famous quote that every man is a moon and has a dark side that he never shows to anyone else. the Bible would certainly agree with this assessment of mankind. the word of God makes it clear that we are all sinners guilty before God in need of the grace of God. because of the Cross of Christ we have the ability to repent of our sin and turn from our sin.
Protective father Deuteronomy 1:30 31 #Nightlight RTTBROS it is so important to remember when we are being stalked by that old lion Satan that we have a protective Father in Heaven who is watching us on high.

What are you seeking in this life? people tend to look around them to find life satisfaction in what Gary Smalley calls nouns, people, places or things. We try and plug into these nouns and draw joy and fulfilment from them. Alas that satisfaction can only be found up above in a right relationship with God. the Apostle Paul and joins us to seek those things which are above for Christ is sitting on the right hand of God

Humanity has been executing an armed rebellion against God. What we failed to realize is that God doesn't want to destroy us he instead wants to deliver us from Bondage.

At times God has got to put his people in timeout, a period Of waiting, a time of chastisement, an era of judgement. My Sense is we are in a Time Out here in America.

It is time to get back to the business of the Church changing the culture by converting the lost at any cost

In modern America we seem to have a cult of Youth we seem to worship anything that is new, anything that is Young, anything that is strong and anything that is beautiful.

The Ship of Theseus 2 Cor 5:17 #Nightlight #FoundationofFaith
Adapted from a blog by Win Groseclose "We are told in Scripture that humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). This image was not lost in the Fall (Genesis 9:6), but it was clearly distorted, twisted, and bent by sin. In the New Testament we are told that Jesus is the perfect image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) and we are being molded and remade into Christ’s image (Romans 8:29). Thus, the life of the Christian is a process by which one is changed from the image of the man of dust into the image of Christ — the man of heaven (1 Corinthians 15:49). We are Theseus’ ship, as it were, constantly having our spiritual planks replaced (sin has rotted them) and being remade and conformed into the image of Christ — a process not complete until we see heaven"

Are our sins covered by His blood on the Cross? Repent and believe for the Kingdom of God is at hand

Fasting and prayer are two keys to moving to this new network to gain spiritual power with God.
We are obsessed with many things in this old world. It isn't that we need to have less passion we just need to focus it on God instead. C.S. Lewis said this of Human Passions "“Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.” and he also said. It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. "We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." We are pleased playing with our phones when the God of the universe wants to interact with us in profound ways each day. let's focus on him and make HIm our Magnificent obsession.

Set your face not your hair Luke 9:51-56 #Nightlight RTTBROS
In the old days women used to set their hair which meant they put it in curlers and do their face or put on their face, is sometimes how they phrased it, in order to get ready to go somewhere.

Whenever I get "To big for my Britches" or "Puffed up like a toad," God has a way of reminding me I am really "Little Britches" Like Dave and Goldie Dearing used to call me (back before I got fat). When I think I have life, family, marriage and famille even partly figured out God has to remind me I don't even know my right hand from my left and probably have trouble figuring out which way is up. Maybe us little britches can band together and stumble forward rejoicing till the one who is worthy of all praise comes and catches us rag tag misfits and takes us home
God has allowed the passing of seasons and the passing of years and told us to mark those passing seasons, that we might apply our hearts unto wisdom . May the ending of this year, and the beginning of the next, Impel us to move closer to God and his will in our lives
We close the books on an old and oft painful year that we might open our arms and lives to a new year of possibility. Repentance is closing our and confessing the sins that have tormented us and opening ourselves to New life with new possibilities. We can live in the old and the new at the same time. Let follow Bible teacher Norman Kissinger as he plumbs the depth of this concept of repentance taught so clearly in Scripture.
There is a "Front Porch Grace" that precedes repentance in all of us. Theologians call it Prevenient Grace. I grew up some in the South and at the time I lived there most houses had expansive front porches some of them screened in to keep the bugs at bay. In my mind like those front porches were for getting to know someone before you let them in the door. You would be called over while on a walk to vern's corner store and called onto the porch for a spell then if a good time was had by all you would be invited in for some pie and ice cream and some ice cold sweet tea. God is using prevenient Grace to draw us to him (called to the front porch) and in response to that drawing demonstrating Grace we repent and come into full relationship with God. We come into the house with full fellowship.and provision. The important thing is we didn't invite ourselves in we were called to the porch and won over by God's goodness leading us to repentance and thus into full fellowship.
It is easy to thank God for his goodness to you but can you thank God for being good to people who irritate you or hurt you in some way. Christ gave forgiveness to those who nailed him to the cross and Stephen also forgave those who stoned him to death can we ask blessing and speak forgiveness over those who our old nature would normally hate. Now that is the meat of the word of God.
There's some treacherous territory down here that's why we need a Good Shepherd, not only to lead us but to be willing to lay down his life for us. For we are indeed stupid sheep and we desperately need a Good Shepherd... fortunately we have Jesus
We oft times say we are dying for a change and sometimes we truly are. When we live in unrepentant sin we unleash a deadly virus in our life that can only be cured by Repentance. God sets before you life and death choose life with Bible Teacher Norman Kissinger as he leads us to a biblical understanding of Repentance.
We tend to think a lot about change this time of year ans that is good as far as it goes but it seldom goes beyond thinking let's follow our Bible Teacher Norman Kissinger as he leads us to the most significant change.of all...Biblical repentance.
The shadow is perhaps a picture of our influence over other people. You need two things to create a shadow, your authentic self showing up in the presence of the light. The source of the light is Jesus. As you walk in the light as he is in the light you will have a profound influence on those around you
The key to learning anything is to find somebody that does it flawlessly and imitate them. Fortunately for those of us who are Christians we have the Life of Christ that we are enjoined to imitate and to be a follower of. Let's Follow him well
My Sense is there's a storm coming in 2021. We need to be ready for the storm, the only way we can be ready is to be rooted in Christ and have a root system that is connected to each other
Both Jesus and John the Baptist begin their public Ministry with one message repent and believe for the kingdom of God is at hand. Let's follow Bible teacher Norman Kissinger as he digs into this very important subject of repentance.
There have been many good men through the ages but there's only been one God man, one Theo anthropos as D. James Kennedy calls him. Jesus is king of kings and Lord of lords, see him in a fresh way today as you view the resurrected Jesus striding out of the Tomb, Victorious.
Suspended Between Heaven and Earth Jesus was the intermediary between God and man. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross for our sins. Let's take a closer look at the crucifixion and learn to make some proper decisions about who Christ was and how that relates to our guilt and our ultimate home in heaven with him
CS Lewis said my will and I will or the only two prayers in existence. that's a fairly accurate statement about prayer prayer is the aligning of my will with God's will. Prayer always changes things, sometimes it changes circumstances always it changes me.
We believe in the imminent, anytime appearing of Jesus Christ" to snatch his own away. We long for and look for that moment in time we will be delivered from this sin cursed planet. Let's take time each day to remember his return and live ready
Not everyone that speaks sweet, soft words to you is your friend and not any but not everybody that speaks hard truth to you is your enemy. Learn to discern! Jesus was able to discern and he can help you too as well
When we praise God we align ourselves with The only one who has our best interest at heart, the only one who can bring unfailing help to us. So let's learn the lesson of praise in the midst of pain
Our great need in life is to see Jesus as he is and connect with him at a profound spiritual level called being born again or saved. This is the starting point of a life long relationship with Him that ultimately takes us into the presence of our Father in Heaven
Based on Luke 18:1 Jesus seems to be saying we can either give up or pray but it's impossible to be in both states at the same time. So when you find yourself exhausted and about to give up it's time to turn to this tremendous tool of Prayer and cast our burdens on him.
The Prince of Peace
Saturday, December 12, 2020
by Dr. Paul Chappell
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6–7
Our world is certainly in need of peace. There are wars and conflicts and battles constantly raging. One of the attributes of Christ and one of the promises He brings is peace. Because He is the Prince of Peace, He provides us with what we have no other means of obtaining.
Jesus offers us “peace from God” (Romans 1:7). This is a peace unlike anything known by the world. Such peace is a gift bestowed upon us through His grace. Jesus offers us “peace with God” (Romans 5:1). This is the peace that comes from having our sins covered in His blood and His wrath and condemnation turned away from our lives forever. Jesus offers us “the peace of God” (Philippians 4:7). This is the peace that calms our fears and allows us to trust and obey even during the storms of life.
Of course, the entire world will never know peace until Jesus returns. But we who are His children and are already part of His Kingdom can enjoy peace in our daily lives. Because of the coming of Jesus into the world, and His promises to us, we can have peace regardless of our circumstances. Is the peace of God ruling your heart today? If not, spend time with your Prince of Peace and allow Him to comfort your heart in a way only He can.
Today's Growth Principle:
Rejoice today in the wonderful peace that only comes when we know and walk with the Prince of Peace.

The Quarter story. redeeming the time brothers podcast a podcast by Gene Kissinger and Norman Kissinger, two brothers who spent their lives in ministry and raising large families our desire is to provide a digital place for those who long to belong and as always, we want to leave a nightlight on for you. that nightlight is at a Proverbs chapter 17 and verse 22, where it talks about the the benefits of a happy spirit, a merry heart doeth good like medicine but a broken spirit dries the bones, a merry heart doeth good like medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
He's talking here about the benefits of joy and having happiness as a hallmark of your life. Being a winsome witness for Christ. By having a light heart instead of being dreary toward everybody that's around you. Some people are just like a continual drip, drip, drip. They're full of sadness and despair and depression and God wants us to have joy Now that doesn't mean there are not sad moments or difficult issues in life, but they're also always good things that are going on around us blessed things, hopeful things, wonderful things. I remember listening to Norman Cousins. He wrote a book called headfirst he had he had received two different incurable diagnoses from doctors. He used humor as one of the medicine protocols to bring himself to the place of wellness. The doctors said there was nothing they could do for him. He rented Three Stooges videos and various other things that he thought was funny. This was back in the time when they had reel to reel kind of film, and he would watch that and laughter he found allowed him to be pain free. And and ultimately he got cured from these two terminal diagnoses. And he wrote a book called headfirst abiut it. In it he talks about being asked by a group of physicians to come and talk to some cancer patients that they wanted to give these patients at least Some hope and to lighten their day and cousins was a pretty funny guy. So he's up in front of these cancer patients, And he's talking about going up to a payphone. Now, you guys that are younger, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. But those of you that have got a few years behind, those with a few miles on your odometer, know what a payphone was. It was the way we used to communicate when we were out and about and we needed to call home or call a store or whatever, we didn't have a cell phone in our pocket. And so we had to go plug a quarter into the payphone and then make a phone call. You needed a quarter, It was kind of a survival tool, so that you could make an emergency call if you needed to. Well, cousins put his only quarter in this payphone and it didn't connect him to the number and so he needed the quarter back and so he called the operator and the operator gave him the runaround, you know, like they do at a company, there's always a procedure for how to do the thing at the company, if you feel like you've been taken advantage of, they'll take your name and your address and they'll send you the refund. And he explained to her the stamp and the envelope would cost more than a quarter. He just wanted her to make the pay phone give the quarterback so he can make his phone call. He then said, you add the price of the person that licked the envelope and the stamp and and so on. When he explained to her it would cost the company far more money than for her to just make the machine give him back his quarter so he can make his next phone call. And she's finally reiterating how we can't do that. This is how it's done. And then she said have you pushed the plunger, the coin return plunger? And he said no that he hadn't, he reached up and he pulled it down and $4 worth of quarter's fell out of the machine. I mean, it's raining quarters. It's like a slot machine paid off. Quarters pouring down on the on the floor of the phone booth.
The operator says, sir, I'm gonna need you to put those coins back in, return those coins into the phones c

the nightlight that I have for you tonight is out of Isaiah chapter 46,
hearken unto me, O house of Jacob at all you remnant of the house of Israel, which were born by me from the belly which are carried from the womb, and even to your old age I am He even to the foreheads or the gray heads, will I carry you I have made and I will bear and I will carry and we'll deliver you.
What a good God to offer to take us from the place of birth. To birth us, to carry us until they bury us. That's a good God.
I want you to know that death is a part of life, inextricably linked to life. When I was a pastor, as a pastor in the same community for nearly 30 years, I can't I can't ride down a road without looking at a house and thinking that there is somebody in that house that I either preformed a marriage or was there when they were celebrating the birth of a child, or when somebody in their family was buried. In other words, I was there. Sometimes I was there before The mortician was. When the family went through the trauma. They gave me a call and I came in and I cried with them and prayed with them. Remember a little Tevin. Tevin only lived to be about four years old. He was an amazing little man. His little mama She was the best little mama you could ever imagine. I mean that God couldn't have made a better mama than her. She loved her little baby. He had a he had a disorder that caused a hardening around his heart. And it was constricting his heart. Eventually, that's what took him. His Mom fought for his life. I mean, fought for his life. I remember getting the call that he passed, and I drove over, came to the house in the middle of the night. I just held him. She had not yet called the mortician. I just held his little body and rocked him he had passed already, He was an arms of Jesus, already in heaven.
I've helped carry people's loved ones to the hearse. I'm no stranger to death. I've seen it. I've been Been in the room when people have passed have held their hands and cried with the family when the line went flat and There was no more breath. I'm not trying to be morbid about it but death for the believer is a doorway to heaven. When I did little Tevin's service, I used the quote that Ronald Reagan gave when the challenger exploded. Just a matter of seconds after it lifted off. He said "seven brave souls have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of God". Tevin slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of God. May Scarrow slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of God. So many of my friends, they've slipped the surly bonds of Earth and touched the face of God. Death is a friend for the believer. Death comes into the room and and he's one to escort you to a better place, he escorts you to heaven to be with God. That's only true if you have a saving relationship with Jesus. It is only true if you know Him as Lord and Savior. It's only true if your heart is right already. I'm afraid too many of us we live not ready. We live unprepared for that most important trip of all. If you knew you're going to make a trip and it was going to be sudden, you didn't know exactly when it was going to happen. You would live with your bags packed. You'd live you live with your stuff in boxes, because you'd be ready to make the trip.

Redeeming the time brothers podcast a podcast by Gene Kissinger and Norman Kissinger two brothers who have spent their lives in ministry and raising large families our desire is to provide a digital place for those who long to belong and as always we want to leave a nightlight on for you. That nightlight is that a Philippians chapter two verses 12 and 13 says were for my beloved as you've always obeyed not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God which works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.
I listened to Chuck Swindoll a lot when I was younger back when he had "insight for living" out of Fullerton California he was a pastor of a massive E.V. Free Church down there. He is great preacher he still pastors. He's a part of a seminary now though and he's got a church, I think it's called "stone briar". He used to tell this story about ignacy paderewski who had a piano concert that was in a concert hall, and a mother had her young son who was learning to play the piano and she wanted to inspire him by seeing paderewski play. She wanted her son to hear a classical pianist play and put on a concert while thrilling a massive audience. S he took her son to see the concert and while they're waiting this spotlight is shining down on this massive beautiful grand piano. the boy became fascinated by the piano and snuck up onto the stage while his mother was talking to the people next to her, she didn't notice until all of a sudden she heard Twinkle, twinkle little star being played up on the piano. To her horror It was her son, playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star she was chagrined, she got up and wanted to bring him down from the stage but paderewski came out, and reached around the boy and told him keep playing, and not to stop, with his left hand he started playing out the bass part and then with his right arm he reached around the child and started playing a running obbligato. This child, had his "Twinkle twinkle little star" turned into a beautiful concert piece as the master and the novice worked together. I'm so glad that even though this passage says to work out my salvation with fear and trembling, it says in the verse immediately following, for it is God causes us to will and to do His good pleasure, and Jesus is able to bring to completion the work that he started within you, the master composer of your life can take the feeble efforts that you and I give every day, and somehow turn it into a masterpiece by improvisation, but by the beauty of His Majesty he can do things beyond what we would ever imagined. So if you're a little frustrated with your feeble Twinkle Twinkle Little Star just know that a concert pianist better than ignacy paderewski can make something beautiful and complete out of your life.
Let's pray God I thank you for this day, I thank you for these are under the sound of my voice. I pray you would be with them allow them to rest well tonight. Let them know that even though they have a part and in fleshing out what the gospel looks like in their lives, that ultimately you're the one who wills and brings it about within them, as they yield to you and listen to you, moment by moment.

That nightlight is out of the book of Nehemiah chapter eight in verse 10. It says,
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet and send portions to them. For whom nothing is prepared for this day is holy unto the Lord. Neither be sorry for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
I gotta tell you in the midst of all the chaos and drama and trauma that's out there, I need a little Jesus joy. I'm talking about the kind of joy that just lifts your soul up no matter what's going on around you. I got to tell you, my eternal destiny is settled and secured because I'm smart enough to believe in the one who died on the cross, for me. I'm trusting in his merritorious work on the cross to take me straight to heaven when I die, through no merit of my own, through no human worth of my own through no human work of my own, through no religious, religious song and dance of my own. I have a Jesus joy.
Handle when he was writing the Messiah, the now famous,classic, music composition. The Messiah that you hear so often, in popular media, it is a powerful piece that has spanned centuries, bringing joy to the multitudes. In writing it, a lot of people don't know that he wrote it in a three week span of time, and he wrote it almost as though God were whispering the notes in his ears. He scribbled the musical notes down furiously. Many people also don't know is that he was in the midst of losing his eyesight, experiencing a severe physical handicap at. People also don't know that he was under severe financial stress, he was on the verge of bankruptcy while composing this masterpiece. In the middle of thst mess God gave him 'Handel's Messiah" that has transformed lives, and caused souls to soar. He lived to see it spread around the world and become a powerful tradition, In classical music. It is probably one of the greatest compositions that's ever been written. He said the secret to the writing was his heart was filled with joy. It was almost to the place of bursting, with joy, while he was thinking about the concept of Jesus, as messiah, and that's what translated into this powerful music. So when you hear "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth hallelujah," that was written with a Jesus joy.
Do you have a Jesus joy? You can have it just turn to him and trust in him. Let him save you from your sins. Let him wash him make it clean. He can change everything. Let's pray.
Dear Lord God, I thank you for this day and I thank you for these dear ones. Lord, so many are Looking at every where, in all the wrong places, and all the wrong faces to find joy. No matter how hard they look, no matter how long they look, they won't find it till they find a Jesus joy. There's a Jesus shaped vacuum in their life and they need to turn to you to find it. Help fill them to the place of fullness, God, wash them make them wider than snow. In Jesus name, amen. God bless you have all.

I want to take a moment today to think about 911 I know that's tomorrow but I want to remember the lives that were lost on that tragic day, those faces are etched in my memory, as I saw the newscast. The first res-ponders those coming out of the ash carrying children and walking with people who were injured and taking out remains dead bodies. And these first res-ponders were so brave and so courageous. Remember, "it's beautiful day in the neighborhood", Mr. Rogers, he said during that same era, "whenever you have a crisis look for the people that are helping." I was just so encouraged by the people that were helping, that were throwing themselves into taking care of and helping other people. What an amazing self sacrificing thing and those of you that are first res-ponders, Thank you. Also we want to remember those who lost their lives so suddenly so tragically. In just a few minutes I'll be doing a memorial service of a young lady that passed away far too young, and those that passed away on 911, they didn't know that morning, when they got up and they went to work in those Twin Towers, or got on those airplanes, they had no idea that this would be their last day.
Their passing can remind us of multiple things, one is the brevity of life. It is a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. It's like a tale that is told, it's like a watch in the night, it's like a weaver shuttle moving back and forth, we would say today like a singer sewing machine, the needle going up and down, it passes by with such rapidity. It's a vapor that appears, and then it's gone, it's like a cloud in your coffee.
Honor life, thank God for each day that you have. Don't just sort of slog through it and just, grin and bear it. life is a gift. Don't take it for granted. Live in a way that is well pleasing to God. Milk the joy out of each day, live with integrity every day. I believe that's a message they would want you to have. One of the things that their passing teaches us is to be ever vigilant for the freedoms that we have. We are going to have a chance to vote in November. I want to encourage you to get out and vote cast your ballot, I want to encourage you to be praying for our nation. We've seen a series of disasters that have taken place in 2020. And man, it's time for us to come before God and pray a prayer of repentance as a nation. To to call on God to grant us His mercy and to turn things around for us. We need to be a people that are repenting of our sins and experiencing God's freedom and forgiveness so he can cleanse and restore our land, we desperately need that. I mean, our problems are so much deeper than just the political. We've got a sin problem. We need help. Let's pray.
Dear Lord God, I just thank you Father for the first res-ponders, those that gave their lives willingly, to go in and help those that were in this tragedy, these many years ago. What a good God you are to put that calling on that oh we thank you for them the police the firemen the paramedics God and we thank you for what they do their courage and bravery every day God.
