I was running late for an important meeting one morning due to my having lost track of time while spending an inordinate amount of time trying to catch up on a boatload of e-mail that came in while out of town . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/how-to-get-high-2/

A friend of mine has been feeling awful about a few serious mistakes he made in life; one was particularly bad. The Bible warns against the behavior he exhibited and spells out in no uncertain terms that there are repercussions. I hate to see my friend grieve and have prayed that God would give him some relief from his guilty conscience . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/paying-the-price/

I was talking with a lady the other day about her strategy to lead others to Christ and she was adamant that she would not call herself a Christian or mention Jesus during the process of initially trying to convince a pre-believer to become a believer. Additionally, she would not proclaim the gospel . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/call-me-crazy/

I had no more pressed send for Words for the Day one day than I immediately received a nasty e-mail about me that some guy had sent to a friend about a previous post. In that post I had recounted how I was informed that someone had stolen my brand new $15,000 lawnmower and trailer the previous night. When I discovered it, I got angry and suddenly used profanity. In the post I mentioned that afterwards I felt bad about falling captive to Satan with anger and profanity and prayed to God to forgive me . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/really/

I received the following video from a reader. It is a must-watch for you; however, I have recorded the audio from the video as best I could in this post for those who chose to listen in today . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/deceit/

I rarely reprint articles, but when a reader sent the one below from Christianity Today last week and I read it, I was prompted by God to send it to you. Hopefully, it will provide hope to those of you who are struggling or know someone who is. It is a love story about Jesus and one of His servants who shared God’s immeasurable love and in so doing helped this lady get on the right track . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/the-power-of-love/

Deer season is finally over and now I will try to catch up on the many chores left undone while I was chasing deer all over the farm. But first, I’m going down to the keys for a couple of weeks to catch some fish, enjoy the great weather, and see some old friends. Then I will come back catch up around the farm and when things warm up a bit, my middle son wants me to bring some equipment to his farm in North Carolina and help him out . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/are-you-tired/

To begin, my friend seems to think that only him and Catholics seem to understand what a Protestant is. Okay here is the dictionary definition of Protestant: Christianity – A member of any of several Christian denominations which separated from the Roman Catholic Church . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/who-is-our-rock-and-salvation/

A reader sent me the following: A Baptist was stranded alone on a remote island for 20 years. When rescuers finally got to him, they found he had built three structures. When they asked him about them, the man pointed to one building and said, “That’s my house.” “And over there?” the rescuers asked. “That’s my church,” the stranded man replied. “I’m Baptist and take my faith quite seriously.” “And over there? What is the third building?” the rescuers asked. “Oh,” said the man. “That’s where I used to go to church before the split.” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/02/and-the-third-structure/

I watched several of the late great Reverend Billy Graham’s sermons on YouTube this past Sunday. It is so disappointing that no one has been able to equal or even come close to replicating what he was able to do as an evangelist. I went to one of his revival meetings in Atlanta and was mesmerized by the eloquent way he presented the word of God. Though I was a Christ follower at the time I went down the aisle at the end of the service anyway and prayed the “Sinners Prayer” . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/01/we-need-another-billy/
