The Poke-in-the-Eye Devotional
United States
Registrace 7. 12. 2006
Starting January 1, 2024, I will post daily devotionals under 2 minutes long based on my daily readings from The One Year Bible.
These are not your grandma’s devos Though some may be comforting, mostly they are designed to poke you in the eye and kick you in the butt so that you will reflect on your life with Jesus and try to do better.
Also, there is a fair amount of humor in these as well.
If you’d like me to text you the printed version, which are less than 300 words long, you can email me your phone number to PastorSteveCCH@gmail.com

(Note: The camera mysteriously moved without notice, so, no full graphics.) God uses strange people to get his word out, have you noticed? There are many different ways that God has to get his message across, and many creative strategies, including using colorful people to do it. How do feel about Christians who present the message of Jesus a little creatively? What is your first reaction to so...

The Good news is simply = 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Bible Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, Repent = (in the Greek) The true meaning of Repentance in the Greek is (Metanoia) "A CHANGE OF MIND" from unbelief to belief NOT repent of your sins to be saved nowhere in the Bible does it say repent to be saved. Repentance does not mean turning from sin. Repentance is a change of mind about who Jesus is, what He has done for you, and about sin and it leads to a turning away from sin. That change of mind that you have will lead to a change of action. A repentant heart does not want to live a wicked life anymore. It has new desires, and it goes in a different direction. It turns from sin. Acts 3:19 “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” Jonah 3:10 proves that turning away from evil ways is “work “and not Bible repentance Jonah 3:9-10, “Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” TRUST and believe by FAITH in GOD'S FREE GRACE in the FINISH WORK (his work not ours!) of the CROSS John 19:30.... THAT’S THE GOSPEL = SIMPLE
Amen
The reality show "Forged in Fire" can serve as a pretty good metaphor for faith. When you're stuck in a furnace and then pounded against an anvil, you can emerge a beautiful sword. It's a pretty bad analogy - but the best I can do on short notice.

Besides, if one is moved to accept Jesus' free gift of salvation and follow Him by going out and communicating this, a soul or more will be kept from the true Enemy. This is a true prize of great worth!

The fear of man brings a snare!! Live for His glory alone. Pray for holy boldness. Great word preacher!!!
Romans 14 was about doubtful disputes. This was in reference to fasting, diet and the ceremonials. This is wrong
We are under the New Covenant, God’s Law written in the heart. You can’t have the Law in the heart and ignore or deny it, or claim it’s for someone else.
This is false teaching. The verse is not talking about the 7th day sabbath, but about the festal sabbaths of the sanctuary system, which was done away at the cross, fulfilled in Christ, just the same as were the animal sacrifices. There were those who were still keeping the feast days. It took time for them to understand that the old system was done away. None of the ten commandments were done away. The symbolic system was written by human hand and placed in the side of the ark containing the stone tables written by God. These are two entirely different laws. The 10 are immutable as the throne of God. This man doesn't know what he's talking about and if he does not get straightened out, he will be on side with the beast and its image. Jesus is not the Sabbath, He is Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:5). He never did away with it! Else He would not have told His disciples to pray that when the Roman armies were about to besiege Jerusalem that their flight would not be in the winter or ON THE SABBATH (Matt. 24:20). He wasn't talking about Sunday. Sunday wasn't a thing until centuries later, under Constantine. The Sabbath commandment is obviously not about resting in Jesus; it is about keeping the 7th day holy and not engaging in secular work on that day. Let's just take it as it reads, shall we? Ex. 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 20:10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. The reason for keeping the sabbath, as it is written in the sabbath commandment, is not given as that we should rest in God from our works as though salvific. That is true in a secondary sense, but in the law itself the reason given is because we are to stay anchored to the fact that God is the Creator of all things, including us. "For" in six days..., i.e., "Because" in six days.... The Lord blessed and made holy the seventh day, not the first. Woe be to any man or woman that teaches another sabbath, for he would be teaching another god. (See the first commandment.) Rev. 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev. 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Matt. 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. I pray that "poke in the eye" man gets some better reading glasses and repents of this grave sin of teaching for commandments the doctrines of men.
The context of that verse in Romans is about Feasts, fasting, and ceremonial Sabbaths. Romans 14:1-4 You are Neglecting the conflict between Jews(newly converted who observed all ceremonial laws vs un practicing Jews) and Gentiles alike. They argue whether or not they should abide to previous ceremonial laws but Paul goes into detail about weakness in faith. Please do not misinterpret a few verses to justify your choice of transgressing the 4th commandment. Furthermore, Jesus gave a summary of the Decalogue by saying “Love your God with all your heart”, which points to the first table, and “Love your neighbor as yourself”, which points to the second table. You see, this is in harmony with the word of God because when you read Revelation(The revelation or manifestation of Jesus Christ himself to John) years after his resurrection, Jesus says “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12 If the commandments didn’t matter, Jesus would not have reiterated that point. Lastly, it is irrational and incoherent to think that 9 out of the 10 commandments are active, and one was excluded.
God‘s law cannot be changed! Period!
The Fourth commandment just like the rest Exodus are God's moral law.
Sabbath will be kept in the new heavens and new earth. " For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. "- Isaiah 66: 22.23
"You will not surely die"
The Sabbath is so important, that God's day of rest, Saturday, as it is since creation of this world, it will be a sign, a mark in the end of times. True obedience to God means keeping His commandments and having the faith of Jesus Christ, just like it is writen in the book of Revelation. Beware of whom you choose: you choose God and obey Him because you love Him, or, you do what you please, and keep what you are comfortable with from what He says. There will be laws made by humans to profane the day of rest and also make a new one, but God says: Keep my Sabbath, remember it and keep it holy! Whom do you worship in the day of worship ? God or yourself? You have been warned and you will more be! Don't let this grow cold on you. Your eternal salvation is at risk. Bow down to God, for angels and all the world does this.
Nice little twisting of Scripture your a professional
Amen! God bless!
Oh look, it's banana man.

Very good Pastor. Thank you
You’re welcome!
A VERY, VERY BAD OEN
@desertvineyard I'm sure you are a busy person and you certainly don't owe me anything, but if you could please provide some details. I thought it was a good message.
@@user-lc4ui5jz9l Read the Bible on your own. Do not trust nobody on such issues. Start with the fact, that Sabbath was keept not by the jews, but Adam and Eve, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Izaak, Jacob. Then it is writren, that we will keep God's Sabbath on the new earth
@@user-lc4ui5jz9lHow may I help you?
Hi! As someone from a Soviet culture (now an immigrant in the USA) I believe that the resurrection was staged by the Romans, as explained in a popular book where I'm from - "The Gospel of Afranius"; like many others, I read it in childhood and never thought about this question again - until coming to the USA and noticing a stark contrast in the discussion of this question. What's wrong with that explanation?? I'm confused, what am I missing here?..
Absolutely. Amen!
Absolutely. Amen!
Thank you Ray!!!😍 When we understand that LIFE was LOST in the Garden (their personal Spiritual Relationship was broken) that easily explains why Jesus came To earth to give us Second Birth…to REconnect the world back to His Father!!! this Truth does away with man-made religious denominations and all excuses about how good we are…we are born in sin and our Spirit’s must be Transformed by the born again experience…John 3:3!!!!!! It Is Just That Simple!!!!! Praying this world chooses Life in Christ sooo they will be Rapture/HeavenBound!!!!!! ⚓️⚓️⚓️ ⚓️
This speaks to me personally. Thank you. My favorite verse is: PHI 4:12-13 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret to being content in any and every situation. Whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Prayers! That church will never be the same without you. 🙏❤
It difficult to search our own intentions. I ask God to remove my selfishness and provide me with more of His direction and will.
Amennnn, soyez richement béni 🙏🏻🕊🇨🇭
That isn't what I wanted to hear Pastor. So thank you for saying it.
Amen!😊
But you miss use the word repent. Jesus told the Pharisees, "unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. What did He mean? Unless they believed He was their Messiah, they would not be saved. So, what does repent for salvation mean? It means to go from unbelief to belief. It is the Greek word, metanoia. It simply means to change your mind, and BELIEVE on Jesus for the free gift of everlasting life. Romans 6:23.The gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus finished work on the cross plus nothing. IF you have accepted Jesus free gift of eternal life, you have repented. You accepted the free gift. You changed your mind about how to be saved forever. First Corinthians 15:1-4 is the only gospel that saves sinners which we all are. James 2:10. If you have offended in one point, you are guilty of the whole law. So yes, if you have looked at a woman with lust in your heart, you are condemned to hell forever. But God sent His only Son to pay for all the sins of everyone in the world. First John 2:2. Colossians 2:13. He has forgiven us ALL trespasses. Past, present, and future sins we have not even thought of yet. Romans 4:5-8.
There are over six hundred individual commandments in the Mosaic Law, and breaking just one of them one time renders a person guilty. No one but Jesus ever kept the Law perfectly. True the Law cannot justify; it can only condemn. We can only be declared righteous "faith apart from works"(Romans 3:28), and that faith must rest in the only Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: "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 4:12) To continue to attempt to earn a place heaven through the WORKS of the LAW is to ignore the sacrifice of Christ: "If righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! (Galatians 2:21) the most important message here apart from law which does not save us is faith and trust in Jesus Christ saving Grace on the blood the finished work of the cross (John 19:30). Christians no matter how hard you try you will sin in the flesh (old nature or old man) BUT the Holy Spirit (the new man) will help us walk in the Spirit daily if we choose to, If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.! (1 John 1:8-10)
SOOOOOOOOOO FACTS AMEN TO THIS! GOD BLESS YOU! NEEDED THIS! HAVE A GREAT DAY! THESE WRITINGS MAKE A DIFFERENCE 🙏✝️🙌!
Amen- good word, Pastor!
Sweet story... thank you!
Jesus Christ❤
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24.
