It's a New Day: The Choice is Yours by Max Lucado, from Let the Journey Begin

It’s quiet. It’s early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep. The day is coming. In a few moments the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race. The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met. For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day’s demands. It is now that I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose. And so I choose. I choose love. No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves. I choose joy. I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to se...

Peace at Last by Billy Graham, from Peace With God

And God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. — Revelation 21:4 We now know what it means to be a Christian. We know the price that was paid to get these elusive things called peace and happiness. I know men who would write a check for a million dollars if they could find peace. Millions are searching for it. Every time they get close to finding the peace found only in Christ, Satan steers them away. He blinds them. He throws up a smoke screen. He bluffs them. And they miss it! But we Christians have found it! It is ours now forever. We have found the secret of life. The word peace has been used often in the last forty or fifty years. We talk about peace, and we have many peace conferences; yet, at the moment, it seems that the world is heading toward anything but peace. “The way of peace have they not known,” the apostle Paul say...

Jesus and Women: Mary, Mary by Trent Sheppard, from Jesus Journey

On their journey, Jesus came into a village. There was a woman there named Martha, who welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Master’s feet and listened to His teaching. — Luke 10:38-39 Jesus’ twelve disciples were all men, but they were not His only disciples. The gospel of Luke, in particular, makes this point clear in two passages. The first comes in Luke 8:1-3, when the gospel writer explains that as Jesus was traveling through several villages and towns, ministering in each community, He and His twelve disciples were “accompanied by various women.” Luke goes on to identify the various women: Mary, who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna the wife of Chouza (Herod’s servant), and Susanna, and many others. According to the gospel, not only were these women traveling with Jesus and the twelve disciples, which was already highly unusual, but apparently these women were also funding Jesus’ day-to-day ministry through their own re...
