Daily Reading

Acts 4-6

Daily Verse

Jesus is 'the stone you builders rejected,

which has become the cornerstone.'

Acts 4:11

Daily Thought

"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name."
~Acts 5:28

For 80 years, the graduation ceremonies of Washington Community High School included a prayer.

Until 2001. Almost.

A lawsuit was filed and the court ruled, "No, you may not pray."

Ryan stood at the podium, the final student speaker. Silent for a moment, then opening his mouth to speak. "Ahh-choo," he sneezed.

The graduating class of 2001 rose to its feet.
In unison, "God bless you."

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
~Acts 4:12

To God's Glory,
Dave Price

Daily Prayer

Lord God, we shout Your Name because You are worthy of praise. And if we don't, the rocks will cry out. In fact, the whole earth is full of Your glory. Creation itself declares loudly Your wonders, Your wisdom, Your beauty and grace, Your majesty.

Lord, we say Your Name aloud because it is the Name of salvation, and because the world needs to be saved. How can we not speak of You? It is the message of love to a lost world.

Amen
