December 1 Representing God to your child is a big job. But whether you like it or not, your children have given you that position. As such, we must reflect the Divine nature to the next generation. –The Strong-willed Child Thou, O Lord, shalt endure forever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. (Psalm 102:12 KJV)

Please read this important message from Prison Fellowship

Dear Friend, The following message is from James Ackerman, president and chief executive officer of Prison Fellowship. This amazing ministry has made an incredible impact in prisons across the country, restoring lives to Christ and serving children and families in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why we wanted to bring this special need to your attention. Please read James's email below. Thank you. Dear Friend, Bibles are needed desperately in America's prisons. Across the country, many prisons remain closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But we can reach prisoners with the hope of Jesus Christ by sending as many Bibles as we can, as quickly as we can. Will you help with a generous gift today to send Bibles to prisoners? Any gift you give will be matched dollar for dollar up to $5,000, thanks to a generous grant. That means every $8.25 you give will put a Bible into the hands of a waiting prisoner. The demand right now is unlike anything we have ever seen. Prisoners are crying out for the Bible, and there is nothing short of a revival happening behind prison walls! That's why I hope you can help by giving your best gift to send Bibles into prisons today. Thank you for remembering those in prison as we go through this tough time together.

Daily Devotional by John Piper- November 25, 2020

Glorify by Giving Thanks It is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 4:15) Gratitude is joy toward God for his grace. But by its very nature, gratitude glorifies the giver. It acknowledges its own need and the beneficence of the giver. Just like I humble myself and exalt the waitress in the restaurant when I say, "Thank you," to her, so I humble myself and exalt God when I feel gratitude to him. The difference, of course, is that I really am infinitely in debt to God for his grace, and everything he does for me is free and undeserved. But the point is that gratitude glorifies the giver. It glorifies God. And this is Paul's final goal in all his labors: for the sake of the church — yes; but, above and beyond that, for the glory of God. The wonderful thing about the gospel is that the response it requires from us for God's glory is also the response which we feel to be most natural and joyful, namely, gratitude for grace. God's glory and our gladness are not in competition. A life that gives glory to God for his grace and a life of deepest gladness are always the same life. And what makes them one is gratitude.

Daily Devotional by John Piper- November 27, 2020

How to Magnify God I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. (Psalm 69:30) There are two kinds of magnifying: microscope magnifying and telescope magnifying. The one makes a small thing look bigger than it is. The other makes a big thing begin to look as big as it really is. When David says, "I will magnify God with thanksgiving," he does not mean: "I will make a small God look bigger than he is." He means: "I will make a big God begin to look as big as he really is." We are not called to be microscopes, but telescopes. Christians are not called to be con-men who magnify their product out of all proportion to reality, when they know the competitor's product is far superior. There is nothing and nobody superior to God. And so the calling of those who love God is to make his greatness begin to look as great as it really is. The whole duty of the Christian can be summed up in this: feel, think, and act in a way that will make God look as great as he really is. Be a telescope for the world of the infinite starry wealth of the glory of God. This is what it means for a Christian to magnify God. But you can't magnify what you haven't seen or what you quickly forget. Therefore, our first task is to see and to remember the greatness and goodness of God. So we pray to God, "Open the eyes of my heart," and we preach to our souls, "Soul, forget not all his benefits!"
