Today's devotional reading for:
Saturday, Dec 28, 2019 To Forget or to Remember?
“Do this in remembrance of Me.” Luke 22:19 “…forgetting those things which are behind…”
— Philippians 3:13
I am sure that Christians must get confused when they read a verse like this.
Paul says, “This is what I do, I forget those things which are behind.”
And yet I have preached sermons on a number of occasions on “remember.” Jesus said, “Remember Me.” We are told over and over again in the Bible to remember.
Are we to forget or are we to remember?
Well, obviously we are to do both, and the question is: What are the objects of the verbs, remember and forget? There are certainly things that we are to remember.
We are to remember what Jesus Christ has done for us upon the Cross.
The things that Paul is talking about forgetting would be of two classes.
Just like a runner or skater skating for 1500 yards, they have to forget their successes or failures in a hurry and not sit back and rest upon those laurels.
I think it is particularly true that as they get older people begin to rest more and more on their laurels and stretch less and less toward the prize, the mark of the high calling of God.
We need to forget about our victories and not simply float on them, but to reach out to the things that yet remain to be done.
Nor should our past failures weigh us down.
Let us thank God for what He has done in the past, as we strive to serve Him in the present and future.
My Lord and Savior, thank You for what you have done for me. Help me to not be a prisoner of the past with its failures or its victories…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH, WE ARE
ABLE TO STRETCH FORWARD.  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
