Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Amos 6:1-6
What were the sins of Israel that kept them from turning to God? The list may surprise you: illicit sex, gluttony, improper music, and drunkenness. Sound familiar? Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us that Amos’ words of warning to the Israelites so long ago are important to us as a nation today.

The Resurrection Is A Transaction
The Resurrection is, first of all, a fact. He died for you. He died that you might come to God, and He was raised from the dead that you and I might be justified. Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, for that was by the Holy Spirit raising Him from the dead, and that same Spirit today can communicate life to you and to me today when we put our faith in Him. He was “made sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”

Daily Promises
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Isaiah 41:13)
Lord help me to trust in You when I'm scared-when I'm afraid of what people might think of me when I tell them about You and Your good news. Thank You Lord, for being right by my side, holding my hand, and strengthening me for every good work.
Overcoming The Temptations
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. -- Hebrews 4:15
We do not have the power to overcome temptation in ourselves, but it is through the one who lives in us!

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (April 23rd)
"Lo, in the midst of the throne . . . stood a Lamb as it had been slain." — Revelation 5:6
Why should our exalted Lord appear in His wounds in glory? The wounds of Jesus are His glories, His jewels, His sacred ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing fair because He is "white and ruddy" white with innocence, and ruddy with His own blood. We see Him as the lily of matchless purity, and as the rose crimsoned with His own gore. Christ is lovely upon Olivet and Tabor, and by the sea, but oh! there never was such a matchless Christ as He that did hang upon the cross. There we beheld all His beauties in perfection, all His attributes developed, all His love drawn out, all His character expressed. Beloved, the wounds of Jesus are far more fair in our eyes than all the splendour and pomp of kings. The thorny crown is more than an imperial diadem. It is true that He bears not now the sceptre of reed, but there was a glory in it that never flashed from sceptre of gold. Jesus wears the appearance of a slain Lamb as His court dress in which He wooed our souls, and redeemed them by His complete atonement. Nor are these only the ornaments of Christ: they are the trophies of His love and of His victory. He has divided the spoil with the strong. He has redeemed for Himself a great multitude whom no man can number, and these scars are the memorials of the fight. Ah! if Christ thus loves to retain the thought of His sufferings for His people, how precious should his wounds be to us!
"Behold how every wound of His
A precious balm distils,
Which heals the scars that sin had made,
And cures all mortal ills.
"Those wounds are mouths that preach His grace;
The ensigns of His love;
The seals of our expected bliss
In paradise above."
