Scripture: Numbers 32 – 34; Mark 9:30 – 50 (3/8/2010)
WARNING! – This devotion is for saved persons only. The unsaved or unsure are encouraged to return to the home page and click on, “The Bible Way to Heaven.”
The Bible tells us to sanctify ourselves which means to purify, make free from sin, to set apart, to make holy. Once saved God commands us to separate ourselves from those sins that had enslaved us. Ignoring God’s command can place one in jeopardy of losing their peace, joy and happiness as illustrated in Numbers 33:55; “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you: then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.”
If we tolerate sin in our midst, trouble, destruction and pain will invade us individually and collectively. God will allow His people to be trampled underfoot by the evil world we failed to resist. We are to be godly examples in the world and resist the moral decay and corruption in society.

Scripture Reading: Luke 20 (3/8/2010)
" Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation." Luke 20:46-47
Boys and girls, to be called a "Christian", means we should behave like the Lord Jesus Christ behaved. In fact, the word "Christian" means, "Little Christ". But remember, the way we act is to please Jesus, not to please other people.
Today's scripture describes religious people who behaved not to please God, but to get the approval of those around them. How we act is a form of worship, we want to worship God by the way we act, not people.
