Daily: April 29-May 3 "Make It As Secure As You Can" (CD #H34)

You have to almost feel sorry for Pilate and the Roman soldiers. They with their few spears . . . and a decent-sized stone . . . and the "impenetrable" governor's seal. Then there was a mighty resurrection trumpet blast from God and the raw power of His heaven-sent earthquake. How often do we try to "secure" a defense against the strength of the Holy Spirit?

Sunday: May 4/5 Prophets in Search of Justice (CD #H33)

Is life supposed to be fair? Are we supposed to get what we deserve? Habakkuk and other prophets cried out to the Lord for justice to be done, but never lost sight of the grace that gives us what a loving God wants us to have, instead of what we deserve.

Daily: May 6-10 Out . . . and Then Back In! (CD #H36)

Don and Yvonne McClure just can't seem to stay on the outside--of prisons. But they're not violating parole, they're simply invading Satan's turf! Their "Paper Sunshine" mail program is bringing hundreds of inmates to Jesus.

Sunday: May 11/12 How to Get Rid of Your Enemies (CD #H37)

Rulers in Jesus' days usually got rid of their enemies with poison or the sword. But in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gave us a better way to deal with those who don't like us.

Daily: May 13-17 E-Mail to Ephesus (CD #H38)

Its pages are yellow, it's covered with the dust of antiquity, but this six-page letter to Christians in Ephesus is as timely as today's latest Internet report. Cosmic battles between good and evil, debates about predestination vs. free will, the eternal pre-existence of Jesus . . . this is lively stuff for both A.D. 60 and May of 2002!

Sunday: May 18/19 2 Kings: God's History Lesson (CD #H37)

These things were written down for our admonition. What does God want us to learn from His history lesson in the Bible?

Daily: May 20-24 What a Redeemer! (CD #H40)

When a lost sinner is "redeemed" by God, or when Jesus gives Himself "as a ransom," does someone on the other side get paid? What does Paul mean when he describes the Holy Spirit as a "seal"? And do believers find the real Star Wars in these sacred pages instead of on the silver screen? Tune in for a second week of study in the book of Ephesians.

Sunday: May 25/26 The Joy of Jesus - 1 (CD #H41)

When a tax collector meets Jesus, he is freed from a dungeon of despair and given a life of joy. Consider how you can receive this same joy.

Daily: May 27-31 How Many College Credits for My Obedience? (CD #H42)

What kind of university is heaven running--where NONE of my transcripts from down here are transferable? Ephesians 2 contains the admissions policy: "Grace . . . through faith." And then in capital letters: NOT BY WORKS, "so that no one can boast." In the very next verse, though, God seems to tell us that getting all A's is still important. Hello?
