TODAYS WORD FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20
CONFESSION
Defined by Webster:
Acknowledgment or disclosure of sin; admission; something that is confessed, a formal profession of religious belief.
GODS WORD
“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” Romans 10:10.
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:12.
WORDS FROM KEN AND DOTTIE
When we worked with Billy Graham we witnessed at every church meeting and at every crusade an invitation at the conclusion of his message for one to accept Jesus as their Savior. When one was making that decision they were invited to come to the front of the stadium or building to confess their sins and make their decision to receive Jesus into their heart in front of witnesses. This is what Timothy is saying in the above verse. God wants us to tell the world about our faith in Him and we begin by making a formal decision in front of witnesses.
The scripture is also very clear that in order for us to have a relationship with Jesus there are two requirements. We must believe in our heart that Jesus is Lord and Savior and then confess to Him that we are a sinner and ask for forgiveness. God’s response is immediate --- we are saved! (Romans 10:10).
The Bible is also clear that we are expected to confess before men our decision to follow Christ. This is why we encourage you to get involved in a Christ honoring, Bible believing church that gives people the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior and to confess this before those in the church. Unfortunately, not many churches today will give this opportunity, but many do and we encourage you to be part of such a church and then you will grow in Him.
For us as parents we are so very thankful that we had the blessed experience of hearing each of our children make their confession of faith and ask the Lord to forgive them of their sins and to come into their heart. Although, we have not been with our grandchildren at the moment they made their decision to accept Christ we can’t begin to tell you how thrilled we have been to get their telephone call saying: “Grandma and Grandpa, I asked Jesus into my heart today.”
Nothing heals better then confession. Often situations would arise with our children when an argument developed between two or three of them. When we got involved in the process of helping to solve the argument, blaming one another was very common. After we sorted out the problem we encouraged the guilty one to confess and say “I am sorry.” Confession is good for the heart and allows both parties to get on with life and they will usually not carry a grudge. As Christians, when we need to confess a wrong doing it is important that we do not procrastinate. Get on with your confession and apology today.
TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER
Thank You for the day Your Holy Spirit convicted my heart and I accepted You as my Savior. Thank You for that day when I learned the importance of confession and the importance that it was to my salvation. Bless me this day and may others see Christ through me.

Companion: November 19, 2009
TODAYS WORD FOR THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19.
COMPANION
Defined by Webster:
Fellowship; association as a companion.
GODS WORD
“I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts.” Psalm 119:63.
“And I urge you also, true companion, and help these women who labored with me in the gospel.” Philippians 4:3.
WORDS FROM KEN AND DOTTIE
In today’s world with all the conveniences of modern transportation we have been privileged to meet many people across our world. Truly the world has shrunk and this has allowed us so many more opportunities to gain friends, acquaintances and even companions.
All of us have many acquaintances, a good number of friends but very few companions. Acquaintances are those we have met but possibly do not know very well. Friends are those we know well and have a favorable relationship with. Companions are those we have a close relationship with and spend the most time with. Teenagers say today that these are the ones that we “hang” with. Companions have the same interests and values that give them a common bond. A true companion will stand by you and can be counted on for support in times of need.
No matter how self sufficient someone feels, we all have a need for a companion. This is why God instituted marriage because He said that man needed a companion. Marriages that put Christ first in their relationships are marriages that have spouses that share a common bond and this provides a solid foundation for their family. When God is in the marriage the spouses will be true companions.
Children today look for companions. Parents have the responsibility to lead their children to choose the right companions. When our children went anywhere without one of us, we made sure that we knew where they were going and with whom they were going. We always encouraged them to go with a trustworthy friend, a companion that would always be there for them. This also gave us assurance as parents that our child would not be alone. The choices of companions can affect ones lifestyle and standards for a lifetime, so this is a vital challenge for parents with their children, especially in this world.
Jesus wants to be our companion every day in all of our activities. He does not want us to be alone and being with us as a companion gives us the confidence and boldness to live a life honoring the Lord.
In Philippians 4:3 Paul uses the term “true companion.” In another translation it reads “loyal yokefellow.” These words describe the close relationship Paul had with the believers in the church at Philippi, and for that reason Paul could call on them. Paul was concerned for the women who had labored with him when he was with them. Now he is hearing that they were having problems so he wanted to alert his true companions in the church to share his concern for these women and help them on Paul’s behalf.
Through out the scriptures we have many illustrations where Jesus and His disciples required believers as true companions to help those in need. This included the widows, the orphans, the homeless, the sick and the needy.
Being a companion is more than just being a daily friend to another person. It is the giving of yourself to meet their needs. As believers we need to be companions to others to show them through our words and actions that Jesus is our companion and will be their COMPANION who is always available to them if they know Him personally.
TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER
Thank You for being my COMPANION through out this day. Give me the confidence to walk the walk and talk the talk honoring You every moment of the day. I ask for Your direction as I lead my children today. May they put their total trust in You and rely on Your COMPANIONSHIP as they need You throughout this day.

Comfort: November 18, 2009
TODAYS WORD FOR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2009.
COMFORT
Defined by Webster:
To sooth, console or reassure; to comfort someone after a loss; relief in affliction; consolation; a feeling of relief; a state of ease.
GODS WORD
“If you have any encouragement from being unified with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit accord and purpose.” Philippians 2:1-2
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those who are in trouble, with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” II Corinthians 1:3-4.
“Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” I Thessalonians 5:1.
WORDS FROM KEN AND DOTTIE
None of us go through life without being in need of COMFORT. We all experience sad and hurtful times in our life when we are in need of COMFORT and reassurance. In those times in our life we need to have someone who is there for us, someone we can turn to and receive love and compassion and support.
In the three verses we have listed above, we look at the word COMFORT from two different perspectives. First, and most important, the COMFORT we receive as believers from Christ. And then the COMFORT that God gives us so we can comfort each other.
God has set a high standard for all believers by saying He is the God of all COMFORT and the one and only source of COMFORT available to all believers. God then expects us, as believers, to COMFORT those we meet and deal with daily. We have the responsibility of comforting others in their time of need, reminding them of the COMFORT God can give them when they turn their lives over to Him. We are also to COMFORT others by reminding them of God’s saving grace and the soon coming again to this earth by Jesus. Where can one receive more COMFORT than with this assurance even in ones worst time of tribulation?
Children, when they are growing up rely heavily on the COMFORT they can receive from a parent, sibling or grand parent. We can remember many times when one of our children would get hurt. They fell down and skinned an elbow or a knee and came into the house crying like they had broken every bone in their body but just sitting on mom’s lap and dad’s lap healed that hurt in about five minutes. That is COMFORT in action.
Young people look for COMFORT from friends and peers. A spouse looks for COMFORT from their spouse and other friends. We need COMFORT from others, but God who is the God of all Comfort gives us a COMFORT that is beyond any COMFORT anyone else can give. The Comfort that God gives is sufficient for every situation, need and every detail we may have in our daily activities.
TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER
I look to You today as I do every day for the COMFORT that only You can give to get me through the tough times in my life and the hurtful things I may encounter today. Give me a new spirit of COMFORT so that I can COMFORT those that I meet today that need reassurance and direction in their lives. Bless my family and draw us closer to You each day that we live.

Testimony: November 17, 2009
TODAYS WORD FOR TUESDAY NOVEMBER 17, 2009.
TESTIMONY
Defined by Webster:
The statement or declaration of a witness under oath; evidence in support of a fact or statement; proof; open declaration or profession as of faith.
GODS WORD
“This is the disciple who TESTIFIES of these things, and wrote these things, and we know his testimony is true.” John 21:24.
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the TESTIMONY of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” I Corinthians 2:1-2.
“He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the TESTIMONY that God has given of His Son. And this is the TESTIMONY: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.” I John 5:10-11.
WORDS FROM KEN AND DOTTIE
The word TESTIMONY is probably best known in the secular world as statements made in a court session. In the Christian world a TESTIMONY usually refers to the words one gives in a group or to an individual concerning ones relationship with Jesus. This testimony usually contrasts ones life before accepting Jesus as ones Savior with the life one is living now.
We can remember as kids going to church and often hearing moving TESTIMONIES of life changing experiences. When we were working with Youth for Christ we had Saturday night youth rallies attended by thousands each week. The programs included music, skits, and contests and always ended with the TESTIMONY of some speaker, usually a known personality whose life had been completely changed because they had accepted Jesus as their Savior.
In these scriptures we have listed above, we deal with another important reference to the word TESTIMONY. In John 21:24 the Apostle John is speaking of himself as the one who is testifying that Jesus was God. John’s TESTIMONY is true because his was an eye witness and his account was based on his personal relationship with Jesus. John walked with Him, talked with Him, and worked with Him daily while He was on this earth. John’s words verify that Jesus is the Christ and that He was the Son of God.
In the passage we noted above from I Corinthians chapter two, Paul is writing to the church at Corinth verifying the TESTIMONY that Jesus is Lord and Savior and available for them. Paul always looked for every opportunity to give his TESTIMONY that Jesus was his Lord and Savior. Paul was a learned scholar and could preach with eloquence. In this passage Paul says he preached a simple TESTIMONY of Jesus and wants us to understand it is not the eloquence of the words of a persons TESTIMONY that brings others to faith and a relationship with Jesus, but it is by God’s power. We should never fear to give our TESTIMONY because of its simplicity because God will use our TESTIMONY no matter how eloquent or simple.
And finally in I John 5:10-11, John tells us that whoever believes and receives the TESTIMONY that God has given us, will receive His promise of eternal life. These are only three examples from the scriptures that give us the assurance that the Bible is a true testimony that God is who He says He is.
If you ever doubt personally or talk to one who doubts the certainty of your relationship with Jesus, just remember you have the TESTIMONY of Jesus Himself that He is Gods Son. You have the TESTIMONY of the disciples who walked, talked and lived with Jesus while He was on this earth. And you have the TESTIMONY of Gods Word, the Bible, and those that were led by the Holy Spirit to write down for us the TESTIMONIES of those that were affected by their relationships with Jesus.
TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER
I rejoice today in the certainty that I have of knowing You and the anticipation of spending eternity with You. Thank You for the TESTIMONIES that You have given us to confirm that You are my God and my Savior. May my life radiate daily my TESTIMONY of my love for You.

Meditation: November 16, 2009
TODAYS WORD FOR MONDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2009
MEDITATION
Defined by Webster:
Continued or extended thought; contemplation; devout religious or spiritual introspection.
GODS WORD
“Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8.
“But the way of the righteous is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2
“The book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Joshua 1:8
WORDS FROM KEN AND DOTTIE
When you are out walking, riding the bus, driving the car or just sitting and relaxing, where does your mind wander to? Are you thinking about all your problems, family issues, all the work stacked up on your desk, someone or something that annoys you, envy, jealousy of someone who has something that you do not have, the frustration of traffic and the aggressive drivers who are always cutting you off or just plain lustful day dreaming? You no doubt have a list of your own.
These verses that we have listed above remind us to meditate on God’s Word day and night. This means thinking about what you read in the Bible. Of course, you must first read God’s Word before you can meditate on it. Then each day after you read the Bible take a few minutes to think about what you have read. Then as you meditate ask yourself how the life you are living stacks up against God’s principles that you have read about. You cannot miss His principles because they are on every page of the Bible. You need to take a hard look at what changes you need in your life.
Our thoughts have a profound influence on the way we live our lives. What we allow to occupy our minds will sooner or later come out in what we say or do. If we dwell on our anger eventually we will erupt with angry words or even worse with angry actions. If our thoughts are evil our deeds will be evil. Our thoughts reflect our character and meditating on God’s Word will make a difference in the way we think.
Paul, before he found Christ as his Savior, had allowed his hate for those who believed in Jesus to drive him to persecute them and to have them thrown into prison. Paul well understood how thoughts influence what we do and how they determine the kind of person we really are. If you want to change your life, Paul after he found Jesus, offers a solution as to how to change our thinking. In Philippians 4:8 we are given his list of things that will lead us to a God honoring thought pattern which will lead to a positive change in how we live our lives. When we have God in our life and are meditating on His Word, God changes “things” because He changes us.
Just think how your outlook on life might change if you would spend your time meditating day and night on God’s Word instead of worrying about all the things that are troubling you.
Would your life style change? Would your thinking change? What would happen to all your problems in life? What role would worry play in your life? How would your family treat you and how would you treat your family?
The Apostle Paul tells us that we are to spend our time thinking on things that are pure, noble, just, lovely, praiseworthy and things of good report. Your life will change if you would meditate day and night on these things.
TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER
Help me today to learn how to meditate on Your Word. Thank You for changing my thought patterns so that I can think on those things that honor and glorify Your name.
