From our Bible readings today 1 Kings 4-8
Elijah's prayer before calling fire down from heaven teaches us that prayer preceeded by paise will prevail, but requests without recongnition of God are almost always rejected.
In eternity it will not matter what car I drove, what house I lived in, how much money I had nor what my clothes cost. In eternity the only thing that will matter is if my family and friends are there with me. – Pastor Kris Minefee

From today's Bible readings Ephesians 1-3
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that my salvation is involved with bringing God glory. Not by what I do but simply because He saved me.
I can’t think of anything worse than one day looking back to a time and a place where I could have made a choice to obey God, to trust Jesus, to launch out into the deep, but instead did nothing. I can’t imagine realizing that because of my refusal to obey, I missed seeing Jesus Christ as I had never seen him before. I missed the opportunity of serving Him. Or worst of all I missed the joy and hope of eternity because I did nothing.

The resurrection is essential to the Gospel, the resurrection is essential to our hope, the resurrection is essential to the second coming of Jesus Christ and His final victory over sin and death. The resurrection that we celebrate today is the foundation, the very core, of everything we believe as Christians.
