Major Jeff Martin sends an email drafting various officers and delegates to give daily devotions on an upcoming study tour to Israel. He assigns specific people to give devotions each day and provides documents with details on locations visited each day to help those drafted select topics. Recipients are asked to respond if they are willing or not able to give the assigned devotion.
Imagine living free from the admixture or adhesion of anything that soils, adulterates or corrupts. That's the definition of purity. A divine wisdom suggests a pure heart restructures everything including what we see when we look at life and others.
The CQ = “Conversation Questions” you can use for your thoughtful inner dialogue, with a friend or a cadre of people (if you happen upon a cadre.) Each of The CQ have a text from a wise guy who is considered by millions of people for 2000 years as history’s greatest teacher and most influential human. His words prompt each trio of questions. Hopefully these questions will engage a worthwhile chat with someone you respect enough to ask. In The CQ you won’t find preaching, judging, right or wrong answers. Just ?’s.

The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Subject: Study tour Daily Devotional The Draft!
History: This message has been forwarded.
OK, You asked for it.... Or maybe you didn't ask for it, but since I didn't get enough responses
I am instituting the Study Tour Draft.
Below you can see a list of days for devotions, followed by a name. Those names
in Salvation Army Navy Blue Volunteered and the rest of you were drafted!
Knowing that you are ready to preach pray or pass away in a moments notice I took the
liberty of choosing among all the delegates and choosing a day for your devotion. If you see
your name below, then please refer to the previous email which I have included below this
one so that you can find out what your possible topics can include. Please follow the
guidelines there as well because we don't want anyone to have to run to a city of refuge for
preaching too long.
Those of you who were drafted may choose to draft someone to help you in singing,
Scripture reading, pantomiming or juggling to enhance your devotions.
If for some reason, you would rather not be involved in this way, we can either assign you to
KP duty or extend grace and offer the spot to someone else. We have more delegates than
days, so not everyone will be able to present a devotion and it is always better to have willing
participants.
You can reply to me with your response indicating your willingness or not for this
assignment. If I end up with some opportunities after your replies then I will send out again
for volunteers before re-instituting the draft.
Please reply with your answer so I can complete the assignments.

Our DAILY Devotion Schedule
Theme: Jesus was Here
Think of all the places you have been where you have seen those annoying inscriptions where
someone wrote their name and the words: “was here”. As we travel along to see the many places
that we know Jesus may have also visited perhaps we can acknowledge His visit to that place and
what He did, or something about the Old Testament history of the place. If you would like to
present a devotion you may want to focus on an event in either testament. After choosing the day,
then you can choose one of the locations for your subject. Don’t worry about telling us all the
history… that’s what we are paying our guide to do. We just want a 5 minute devotion that will
help us start or continue our day.
Following is a list of where we will go. Please choose the day you would like to present a devotion.
Choose from the places we’ll visit on that day a topic for your devotion. Then you can send me
your title if you wish within a month from now. I’ll assign the devotions based on first come first
served, followed by the draft. There are not enough days for all of us to present devotions but
there will be readings that we will need everyone to be prepared for. Choose the date now… Send
me the title later.
The attached file repeats these instructions and gives you the places we will be each day.
(See attached file: YOUR DAILY Devotion schedule.docx)
For a reminder with more detail of the daily travels you may want to refer to this which some
of you have already sent to your electronic reader.
Attached here for your convenience.
