December 1 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Mark 1:17 COME FOLLOW ME. The first and primary calling (i.e., appointed task, purpose) of anyone who would be disciples of Jesus is to be with him-to follow him and to know him personally. In fact, the term disciple refers to a disciplined learner and follower. As a result of this relationship, Christ's followers must learn to lead others into a devoted personal relationship with Jesus.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil, who decieved them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfer, where the beast and the false prophets had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10 NIV THE DEVIL... THA LAKE OF BURNIG SULFER. Satan's final attempt to defeat and dethrone God fails miserably, and his power and deception come to their final end. God will throw him into the lake of burning sulfer, where the antichrist and his false prophet had already been thrown. There he will not rule, but eill ne tormented day and night forever.

December 3 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:10 IT WAS GOOD. Seven times God states that what he created was "good". Each part of God's creation was exactly as he intended. God created the world to reflect his glory and greatness and to be a place where humankind could expirience life and joy. Notice how God created according to a specific plan and order: Day 1: Light
Day 2: Expanse---------------Bringing order to
Day 3: Dry ground---------------creation.
Day 4: Light bearersDay 5: Fish and birds --------------Bringing life to
Day 6: Animals and Humans---------------creation.Day 7: Rest---------------Creation is complete and good.

December 4 Today's Verse I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. — Romans 1:16 (NIV)Thoughts on Today's Verse...Are you ashamed? Culture tries to make us ashamed about our faith, portraying people of faith as stupid, insensitive, judgmental, and hypocritical. Are you ashamed? Are you willing to share your faith humbly and gently with those who do not know Jesus as their Lord? Are you ashamed? Your hero left heaven to come to earth and risk everything so that you could come home to heaven with him. This Gospel is powerful. This Gospel is transformational. This Gospel, and the salvation it brings, is for all people. So let's not be ashamed; let's be joyous and generous with this incredible gift that we have received. My Prayer...Father in heaven, please give me wisdom, sensitivity, and courage to share your wonderful story of grace with those around me who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen.

December 5 A sensible man watches for problems ahead and prepares to meet them. The simpleton never looks, and suffers the consequences. -Proverbs 27:12This verse talks about the importance of planning ahead. if you plan ahead you’ll be able to meet the financial challenges that come up in your life, or be able to retire with enough savings in the bank. Without planning you’ll live a much tougher existence in the long run, and you will suffer the consequences. Why not plan ahead? Start today by writing up your zero-based budget?

December 6 ...but [Jesus] made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross! — Philippians 2:7-8 (NIV)Thoughts on Today's Verse...Christianity is not for wimps or the faint of heart. Our example is described by words like "made himself of no reputation" ... "servant" ... "humbled himself" ... "became obedient" ... "death on a cross!" That's tough stuff. And that is our example. The story of the Jesus may begin with a sweet child, but it also begins with him being placed where animals ate their food. While it may be powerful and precious, it is not saccharine and fake sentiment. It is about the price paid to redeem and the people who are different because they know their Redeemer. My Prayer...Almighty God, loving Father, thank you for placing the Gospel story in the real world where I live. Jesus, thank you for being a Savior who has come into my world and faced its toughest edges. Help me as I learn to be sacrificial, obedient, and humble so that I can be used to help others find your grace. In the name of Jesus, the Lord. Amen.

quick discussion if you do not mind. You mention that Christianity is not for wimps, but isn't that exactly who it is for? For example 'come to me all you who are weak and weary'. It is a fine verse you did bring up, and a fine explanation I just feel it did not cover the whole of the point. Christianity is exactly for the weak and weary, but its purpose is to give them strength. To make them more than conquerors. = ) your doing a fine job, please do not allow this to make you feel like your not doing a good job, I just wished to clarify this.

It's talking about those who can't believe. Or, those who say "I have Faith" but still question God. :3

December 7 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name… — Philippians 2:9 (NIV)Thoughts on Today's Verse...For Jesus, Graciousness + Guts + Giving + Grit = Glory. Just one of those equations in salvation math that doesn't make much human sense, but from the perspective of faith, it is powerful wisdom. Jesus came to our world because of the graciousness of God. Jesus had the "guts" to leave behind heaven and face the hardships of humanity, and give of himself to serve others. Jesus had the grit to endure the horrors and humiliation of the cross. So God has shared with Jesus his glory and placed him above all others. The apostle Paul wants to remind us that God doesn't forget our sacrifices, our obedience, and our hardships. He does honor them with his pleasure and his glory because Jesus' sacrifice has made us holy! My Prayer...Holy Father and Lord God, I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son and my Savior and Lord. I surrender my heart to have no rival interest to the lordship of your Son. Thank you for your wonderful gift of love in him. In Jesus' name. Amen.

But none the less your doing an amazing job = ). (I do that sometimes say something and accidently push a seperate point than I try to)

December 8 ...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. — Philippians 2:10-11 (NIV)Thoughts on Today's Verse...I love the fact that I do each day what everyone will one day do: bow before the majesty and proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ to honor the Father's glory. How wonderful it is to be able to make that proclamation because of grace rather than in fear at the end of a life that has been spent in what is rebellion, denial, and waste. My Prayer...Father, I do praise you for the truth about Jesus that will one day be realized fully by everyone who has ever lived. May my life display that truth in the way I treat people today. May my lips suitably proclaim that truth so others can know Jesus as Lord today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
