5 The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:5-12 NIV Bible)

Happy Wednesday, Friend! I trust all is well with you on this day. May God's favor shine upon you and make you glad! As we pray this morning, please pray for Mr. Bill Meadows, who is undergoing surgery in Gonzales. Bill is a dear man, the pianist at our church, and a gifted singer and friend to all. May Bill's surgery bring him healing and joy. Prayers for his lovely wife, Cheryl and family, and for all who are praying for him. Pray for one another; pray for the Lord to watch over the world. Also, prayers for Mr. Paul Trejo, a 35 yo church musician, who suffered a heart attack recently. He survived, so please hold him in prayer that the Lord watch over him.

The ancient world knew the power of a name, for there are names that can open doors; names that can close doors, even prison doors. And they also knew about power. But what they didn't know was the power of the name of Jesus and what He could do! The Jewish leaders angered that awesome things were being done in Jesus' name and that even unexplained miracles like a lame being able to walk, and leap, and praise God! (The Jews had not had any similar incident). "By what power or name did you do this?"

The religious leaders were perplexed and demanded an explanation for this miraculous act. Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, boldly proclaimed the source of their power: the name of Jesus Christ.

Despite facing intimidation and threats, Peter didn't hesitate to attribute the healing to Jesus. He recognized that salvation comes through no other name but Jesus Christ. This passage reminds us of the authority and power that is vested in the name of Jesus.

Today, we live in a world where many voices compete for our attention and allegiance. We encounter various challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable. In times of trouble, we might seek solutions in our own strength or in the wisdom of others. However, the message of Acts 4:5-12 calls us to remember the supremacy of Jesus' name.

Like Peter and John, we are called to boldly declare the name of Jesus in every situation. Whether we are facing sickness, financial struggles, relationship difficulties, or spiritual battles, we can find strength and victory in the name of Jesus. His name is not just a word; it carries the authority to transform lives, heal the sick, and break chains of bondage.

As believers, let us cultivate a deep reverence for the name of Jesus. Let us pray with confidence, knowing that when we invoke His name, we tap into the power of the Almighty. May we never underestimate the significance of proclaiming Jesus as our Lord and Savior, for it is through Him alone that we find true salvation and redemption.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose name is above every other name. Help us, Lord, to always recognize the authority and power vested in His name. Strengthen us to boldly proclaim Jesus in every circumstance of our lives. May Your Holy Spirit empower us to walk in faith and obedience, trusting in the saving grace of Jesus. In His mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Are there areas where you have been relying on your own strength rather than trusting in His power? Commit to praying fervently, invoking the name of Jesus in every situation you face.

I love you and thank God for you,

16 We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. 17 How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? 18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. 19 And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him 20 whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; 22 and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us. (1 John 3:16-24 NRSV Bible)

Happy Tuesday, Friend! May the love of the Lord become more real to you than ever before so that your heart will be filled and flows out to many.

How did you come to know love? When did you know that you were truly and fully loved by someone, like your mother, father, sibling? If you are married, how did you know you were loved by your future spouse? Nellie and I came to fall in love with each other over the phone. You've heard my sob story of being shot down every time I asked her out, because she was on an important committee of the church grading me on my ministerial internship, but nonetheless we spoke every day for over an hour and on weekends we sometimes spoke through the night. We came to know each other and in that way we fell in love. By the time we finally had a real, in-person date, we knew and on Christmas Eve when I left Mission for Houston as we kissed goodbye she cried. No one had ever cried for me before! That sealed the deal for me.

"We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us - and we ought to lay down our lives for one another." The writer has set a high bar based on what he knows about Jesus' willingness to die for us and if we love others in the same way, we, too, should be willing to lay down our lives for each other. He then goes from peaching to meddlin'! He says rightly so, that if we say we love each other and we have God's love in us, but we see a brother or sister in need and we refuse to help; that's not love, says John. Ouch and double ouch. But hs is right.

The writer continues by speaking his mind: Our love should be, "in truth and action," not just talking about or giving examples in speech. This will prove that we are truly people of God's love. Love is not passive; it compels us to action. It moves us to extend a helping hand, offer words of encouragement, and share our resources with those in need.

Furthermore, John reassures us that when our hearts are aligned with God's commandments, we can approach Him with boldness in prayer. Our obedience to His commandments, particularly the commandment to love one another, demonstrates our love for God and confirms His presence within us through His Spirit.

As followers of Christ, our lives should be marked by a genuine, active love that reflects the love of our Savior. It is through our love for one another that the world will see the transformative power of the gospel at work in our lives.

PRAYER: Loving Father, thank You for the awesome demonstration of love by Your Son, Jesus. Help us to love one another not only in words, but in deeds and truth. Grant us the courage to sacrificially serve all in need. Let us obey Your commandments wholeheartedly and may Your Spirit continually guide and empower us to live lives that glorify You; in Christ Jesus we pray, amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! HERE'S YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Take necessary steps to meet the needs of those around you.

I love you and thank God for you!

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” (John 10:11-18 NIV Bible)

Dear Friend, a happiest of Mondays to you! May the peace of the Lord Jesus be with you and yours. As we pray today, let us keep the family of Mr. Jesau Ozuna Arévalo in your prayers. On Saturday we held a memorial service for him in the very welcoming and loving church, Smiley Methodist Church in Smiley, TX. The Rev. Tommy Myrick, pastor of SMC graciously allowed the family to hold the service there. It was a very emotional time for his family. Let us pray God's comfort be with all who loved him and who miss him. A very special thanks to Mr. Johnnie Fogle who is a good friend to the brother of Jesau and who did most of the legwork to get all things ready.

There is perhaps no other name for a church that touches my heart as much as El Buen Pastor. I was born into an EBP church in Kingsville and spent the first 13 years of my life there; then in our move to Houston we joined an El Buen Pastor church there. It didn't hurt that our previous pastor in Kingsville was now our pastor in Houston. This passage explains why the church fathers and mothers of those churches and many others chose such a special and powerful name for the congregation.

Of all the I-Am declarations made by Jesus in the gospel of John, this ranks up there as the most relatable to the time when Jesus lived. Everyone either had a shepherd in the family, had been a shepherd or knew someone who was. They knew the work of the shepherd and more importantly the love that real shepherds had for their flocks. In His declaration Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd," and defines what that means. The love of a shepherd for his/her flock is a special one; one where the shepherd knows his strength and his sheep's weaknesses. He or she is willing, because of that love, to die for his sheep. The hired hand, on the other hand, will not lay down his life because he does not own nor love the sheep. In fact, says Jesus, they run away. Jesus was hitting the religious leaders of His day; He loved the people and would die for the people; the Jews did not love the people and had, on many ocassions, ran to protect themselves.

"I am the good shepherd," Jesus says again; "I know my sheep (note His love) and my sheep know me -- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father -- and I lay down my life for my sheep." Jesus speaks of "other sheep" not of the same fold, indicating His love for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background. His desire is for all to be brought into His fold, united under His loving care.

But Jesus's love is not just words; it is action. He proved His love by laying down His life for us on the cross, taking upon Himself the punishment for our sins. And not only did He die for us, but He also rose again, conquering death and giving us the assurance of eternal life.

PRAYER: Awesome God, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd. Thank You for His sacrificial love, demonstrated by His death and resurrection. Help us to fully grasp the depth of His love for us and to respond with gratitude and obedience. Guide us each day as we seek to follow Him faithfully. In Jesus's name, we pray, Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Spend a moment or two reflecting on Jesus' love for you personally. Then pray your thanks to Him for this sacrificial love and ask Him to deepen your understanding of it. Then emphasize Jesus' love in your relationships with others.

I love you and thank God for you!

1 Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods 3 Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. 4 Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. 5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD. 6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us. 7 Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound. 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4 New International Version of The Bible)

Happy Thursday, dear Friend! Which part of the house holds the most comfort for you? Which part of the house is the one in which you feel more comfortable to cry or get angry? Which room finds you praying more?

I'll go first. My most comfortable room is the living room when Nellie and family are there. And the room in which I feel more comfortable in dealing with my feelings and thoughts is the bedroom. It is in here that most prayers get sent up. One wonders where David wrote or said his prayers? He was an adamant pray-er; trusting in God and hopeful in his petitions as we read in verse 1: "Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God." He had come to believe in God's faithfulness in his times of distress, as should we. David knew God to be the source of righteousness and justice, Who does hear his prayers and provides relief from his troubles. In the same way our times of anguish, we can appeal to God for God is compassionate and grants us mercy.

We see David shift from his prayer to contrast the fleeting pleasures of the world with the enduring peace found only in God. David admonishes those who chase after false gods and the success of the world, reminding them of the true source of blessing and prosperity, who is God Himself. David knows and encourages us to have trust in God's provision and rejoices in the abundant blessings that come from walking in obedience with God.

We come to the most famous of the verses of this psalm, verse 8, where David declares his full confidence in God's protection at the most vulnerable time of day, right before bed. It is usually at those moments that our brain can present to us a rapid recap of the highs and lows of the day, with the lows jumping more prominently to our attention, and it is then that we should turn that over to God. God is the source of peace, and no better word can accompany us into sleep.

As we reflect on Psalm 4, let us follow David's example of seeking refuge in God in times of trouble. Let us turn to Him in prayer, trusting in His righteousness and mercy to sustain us. May we examine our hearts, turning away from sin and placing our trust fully in the Lord. And may we experience the profound peace that comes from resting in God's presence, knowing that He alone can truly satisfy our souls.

PRAYER: Awesome Father, we thank you for Your faithfulness and mercy towards us. You alone are the source of power that lifts up beyond all challenges and obstacles. As we come before You in prayer, we ask for Your help in times of distress and uncertainty. Grant us relief from our troubles and fill our hearts with your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! HERE'S YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Spend intentional time in prayer, pouring out your heart to God and seeking His guidance and peace!

I love you and thank God for you,

12 When Peter saw he had a congregation, he addressed the people: 13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his Son Jesus. The very One that Pilate called innocent, you repudiated. 14 You repudiated the Holy One, the Just One, and asked for a murderer in his place. 15 You no sooner killed the Author of Life than God raised him from the dead - and we're the witnesses. 16 Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on his feet - yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes. 17 "And now, friends, I know you had no idea what you were doing when you killed Jesus, and neither did your leaders. 18 But God, who through the preaching of all the prophets had said all along that his Messiah would be killed, knew exactly what you were doing and used it to fulfill his plans. 19 "Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, (Acts 3:12-19 The Message Bible)

Happy Wednesday, Friend! Blessings be yours dear friend for today and all days. Make this day count with what you say, think, and do! Bless others. Make this a day of prayer that blesses others.

Have you ever been in a setting where someone in your group or class, has done something wrong, and the leader comes back in and yells at everyone and you don't know where to hide because you know you're not the one they're looking for? Me neither. Okay, yes. Have you ever been the person they were talking about but feared revealing yourself? Now, let's put ourselves in this crowd to which Peter is addressing. How would you have felt? What would you have done about it?

Peter had just prayed for a man who was lame to be healed and he was. The congregation loved it, but wondered who could possibly done such a thing? I love this passage in older versions because of the song that came of this healing; "Silver and gold have I none, but in the name of Jesus, rise up and walk and he went walking and leaping and praising God."*. Peter takes advantage of this opportunity to focus their attention on Jesus as we see in verse 16: "Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on this feet - yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes." Peter emphasizes that it was not their own power or righteousness that healed the man but faith in the name of Jesus.

Peter's message cuts to the heart of the crowd's culpability in the crucifixion of Jesus. He calls them to repentance, recognizing their ignorance of the true identity of Jesus. Despite their past actions, Peter assures them of God's mercy and willingness to forgive if they turn to Him in repentance.

Just as Peter urged the crowd to repent and turn to God, we too are called to examine our lives and turn away from sin. Repentance is not merely feeling sorry for our wrongdoings but a sincere turning away from them and turning towards God. It involves a change of heart and mind, leading to transformation and renewal in our relationship with God.

Today, let us reflect on areas in our lives where we need to repent and seek forgiveness. Let us humbly come before God, acknowledging our shortcomings and asking for His grace to change our ways. As we repent, may we experience the refreshing showers of God's blessing and restoration in our lives.

PRAYER: Loving God, we come before you with humble hearts, acknowledging our need for your forgiveness and grace. We confess our sins and shortcomings, knowing that we have fallen short of your glory. Grant us the strength to turn away from our sinful ways and turn towards you wholeheartedly. Pour out your mercy and grace upon us, O Lord, and renew us by your Holy Spirit. May our lives be transformed as we walk in obedience to your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! HERE'S YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Write down specific actions or attitudes that need to change, and commit them to God in prayer.

I love you and thank God for you!

1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. (1 John 3:1-7 NIV Bible)

A blessed Tuesday to you, dear Friend. May the wonders of God's love embrace you and allow you to share it freely with all, especially those whom no one else wants or sees! Prayer Update: The Rev. Scott Bradford underwent a successful surgery on Monday, April 8th in San Angelo, and reports are the surgery went well. I just spoke with him this morning and he will go home if he can meet doctor's expectations. Prayers for needed next steps!

I love the posts on social media when children are adopted by their foster parents, and those stepchildren who present their stepdad with forms requesting they become their parents. Those videos bring on the waterworks for me. The same can be said for John as he writes this passage. The idea of the great love that God has for us is described with a wonderful word "lavished on us." And right with it, "that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" As children of God, we are enveloped in a love so deep and profound that it transforms our very identity. Yet, John also reminds us of our ongoing journey toward resemblance with Christ. Although the full extent of our future transformation remains a mystery, we eagerly anticipate the day when we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

This hope of transformation isn't merely a passive waiting, but an active pursuit. Those who hold fast to this hope purify themselves, aligning their lives with the purity and righteousness of Christ. We are called to live in a manner that reflects our identity as children of God, free from the bondage of sin. For in Christ, there is no sin, and those who abide in Him strive for righteousness.

John makes it clear that a life marked by continual sin is incompatible with a life lived in Christ. To know Him is to turn away from sin, for He came to take away our sins and offer us a new way of living. Let us not be deceived by the allure of sin or the false teachings that diminish its significance. Instead, let us stand firm in the truth, knowing that righteousness is the hallmark of those who belong to Christ.

PRAYER: Loving God, we thank You for the incomprehensible love You have lavished upon us, calling us Your own beloved children. Help us, Lord, to grasp the depth of this love and to live in a manner worthy of our identity in Christ. Grant us the strength to continually purify ourselves, aligning our lives with the purity and righteousness found only in Him. May we never stray from the path of righteousness, but remain steadfast in our pursuit of You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Pursue a life marked by purity and rigtheousness.

I love you and I thank God for you!

36 Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. (Luke 24:36b-48 NIV Bible)

Happy Monday, dear Friend! May the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus be your strength for today and all days. Pray for one another. Prayers for this old man as this coming Saturday we will have the memorial service for the young suicide victim from Nixon, Texas. Pray for his family, friends, and all who loved and knew him. The memorial service will be in Smiley, Texas at the Methodist Church there, at 10 a.m. Friends, please pray for The Rev. John Fletcher, pastor of Kelsey Memorial UMC of Corpus Christi, who is in Houston awaiting a transplant surgery in his battle against cancer. Pray for John's healing and victory over cancer. Prayers for his wife, Gloria, and their children. May God's peace be with them.

For the second time in less than a month, we visit the passage where Jesus presents Himself among the disciples who were hiding in the Upper Room. The one we studied last time was by John in his gospel; today's is from the Gospel of Luke. Each writer highlights what they see as most important. John's gospel focused more on the doubt of Thomas, this one focuses on the physical evidence that Luke believes makes the case for this event to have actually taken place. I'v shared before that my New Testament professor shared how he did not believe this event took place physically; his exact remark was that "the objective eye of a camera would not have captured the image of a risen Jesus." Okay. Let's move on. Luke, like John, shares how the physically alive and present Jesus makes Himself seen inside a locked room. In other words, he walked right in through the lock door in physical form without needing to open the doors. Luke also shares how the disciples thought Jesus was a ghost. Yes, people back then knew about ghosts and even some believed they existed. In fact, Jesus' response was to counter that they thought he was a ghost. "Look at my hands and my feet. it is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." John's remarks from Jesus were directed to the disciples then later to Thomas for his not having been present when this event took place.

Luke further has Jesus saying he is hungry; something ghost do not ever demonstrate. "Do you have anything here to eat?" The disciples give Him some fish and he eats. Then Jesus proceeds to further prove the fulfillment of scripture and His mission; "Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." He then opens the minds of the disciples so they could understand the Scriptures. All was in obedience to what God had wanted to happen so that there would be repentance of sins preached in His name to all nations, starting there in Jerusalem, and the Twelve were disciples of these things.

This passage resonates deeply with our faith journey. Like the disciples, we may encounter moments of doubt, confusion, or fear. We may question the reality of God's promises or struggle to grasp the depth of His love. Yet, Jesus meets us in our uncertainty. He invites us to experience His presence, to witness His faithfulness, and to embrace the reality of His resurrection power in our lives.

As we reflect on this encounter, let us remember that Jesus meets us where we are. He understands our doubts and patiently offers reassurance. Just as He commissioned the disciples to be His witnesses, He calls us to testify to His transformative power in our lives. Our call to action is to share the good news of Christ's resurrection boldly, to live as reflections of His love and grace in the world.

PRAYER: Loving God, we thank You for the assurance of Your presence in our lives. Help us overcome doubt and fear, knowing that You are with us always. Empower us to be bold witnesses of Your resurrection and love. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! YOUR CALL TO ACTION: Face your doubts with the understanding that doubting sometimes comes as part of our faith journey. Don't let doubt defeat your faith, but let it strengthen you on your walk!

I love you and I thank God for you!
