How to Take Your Singing & Praying to a New Level

The 260 Journey ·

2025/07/24

Day 147Today’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 14 An article in a Detroit newspaper, titled “Remedy for a Prune Face,” said, “Ladies, do you want to stay young? Then join a church choir. Women who sing stay younger-looking. A singer’s cheek muscles are so well developed by exercise that her face will not wrinkle nearly as soon as a nonsinger!” Singing makes you look good. And that’s biblical. Psalm 33:1 says, “Praise is becoming to the upright.” The Detroit newspaper article was confirming what the

Day 146Today’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 13 Definitions are important; it gives us a starting point. Definitions guide us and direct how to view things. Some new definitions for words you may already know: Calories: the tiny creatures that live in your closet and sew your clothes a little tighter every night. Study: the act of texting, eating, and watching YouTube with an open textbook nearby. Latte: Italian for, You paid too much for that coffee. Vegetarian: a Latin phase from

Important Words To A Prostitute

Day 259Today's Reading: Revelation 21 Kimutchi will always have a place in my heart. She was a prostitute from the streets of Detroit who I led to the Lord. It was one of our initial conversations that forever has marked me. She used to call me Father Tim. She came to our church one day and said, “Father Tim, can you pray for me? I’m having a tough week.” “Sure, Kimutchi,” I told her. But as I began to pray, she quickly interrupted me. “No. You can’t pray. I have no money.” I was

Day 258Today's Reading: Revelation 20 A young man was drinking heavily and decided to go for a swim at a California beach. Fortunately, an older man was watching the young man as he entered the water and saw that when he dove in, he did not come back up for air. The older man ran toward the struggling young man, dove into the water, and saved his life. A few years later, that same young man was standing in court facing a sentence on drug charges. Suddenly, the young man realized the judge

A Great Word To Use When Great Things Happen

Day 257 Today's Reading: Revelation 19 For a number of chapters, we have been through some dark moments, but now in today’s chapter, the hope bursts on the scene with loud shouting! It is God making all things right, and heaven explodes in praise over it: After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot

Day 256 Today's Reading: Revelation 18 When Michael Bloomberg was still mayor of New York City, he announced he was stepping up his efforts beyond his role as mayor to battle a number of social issues, including fights against smoking and obesity, and for gun control. He detailed his plans in an interview in which he predicted his crusades against those issues would serve him well in the afterlife. Then billionaire Bloomberg said, “I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven

Day 255 Today's Reading: Revelation 17 A few times in high school, I had to fill in on the track and field team because some players were lost due to injuries and the track coach pulled athletes from other school sports. I remember being asked to run a relay. I found it intriguing how these runners crossed the finish line in a close race. They leaned forward, sticking out their heads across their chests because in that sport, milliseconds matter. And if the head crosses, the other parts of the

Day 254Today's Reading: Revelation 16 One of the scariest movies I have ever seen was not in a theater but in a church. It was calledA Thief in the Night, and it was circulating in the 1970s about the end times. I knew I wanted to be ready for the rapture, the second coming of Jesus. I remember leaving that church service as an elementary student knowing full well in my heart that I needed to be ready for that day. I went on to read Hal Lindsey’sLate Great Planet Earth. At that time, they had

A Necessary Character Of God We Don’t Like To Mention

2024/12/18

Day 253Today's Reading: Revelation 15 There is beauty in diversity and variety. Think about how diverse and beautiful America’s landscape is. Parts of our country have mountains, deserts, forests, plains, and cities with skyscrapers. The diversity of landscape brings a balance that delights the eye. The same is true for God. The smallest chapter of Revelation has a very large concept in it. It’s a word Christians rarely use anymore concerning God. When we get stuck on a single part of

The Strangest Beatitude

Day 252 Today's Reading: Revelation 14 The Beatitudes are a unique part of Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount that all start the same way: “Blessed are . . .” Jesus said, “Blessed are . . .” nine different times in Matthew 5. The wordbeatitudeactually means supremely blessed. It is a state of utmost bliss and happiness. Here are some of Jesus’ beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (verse 3). “Blessed are those who mourn, for they

Forty-Two Is An Important Number

Day 251 Today's Reading: Revelation 13 If you are a baseball fan, the number 42 is an important number. It belonged to Jackie Robinson, the first African American to cross the racial lines and play major league baseball in 1947. That number has been retired from all MLB teams. This means that no future MLB player can ever wear Jackie’s number. It commemorates the courage and bravery of what Jackie Robinson did for the game of baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The number was retired in a

Spiritual Warfare

2024/12/13

Day 250Today's Reading: Revelation 12 Some years ago, I read an interesting book calledMilitary Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in Warby Eliot A. Cohen and John Gooch, in which the authors noticed that throughout history, defeat rises out of three basic features: the failure to learn, the failure to anticipate, the failure to adapt to changing conditions. We are in a different war called spiritual warfare. And in today’s chapter, we find one of the most descriptive places in all Scripture

Day 248Today's Reading: Revelation 10 David Wilkerson was a spiritual father to me. His investment in my life was so significant that I am in ministry today because of him. He is the founder of Teen Challenge, the author ofThe Cross and the Switchblade, and the founding pastor of Times Square Church, and he made an imprint on my life, unlike anybody in my early years. From the investment of wisdom, finances, time, and opportunity, one thing I have today, which he gave me when he ordained me,

Day 247 Today's Reading: Revelation 9 Not only was Thomas Jefferson our third president, in his retirement, he also founded the University of Virginia. Believing that students would take their studies seriously, he encouraged a more lax code of discipline. Unfortunately, some students took advantage and misbehaved, which turned into a riot. Professors who tried to restore order were attacked. The following day the university’s board, of which Jefferson was a member, held a meeting with the

The Day Heaven Was Silent For Thirty Minutes

2024/12/09

Day 246 Today's Reading: Revelation 8 You know a relationship is in trouble when silence occurs between the two parties. Nothing is worse than a silent home between husband and wife. I’m not condoning it, but yelling at each other is better than silence. At least people are voicing their opinions. But when silence occurs, it meansI’m done talking. It’s over. Silence means the end is near. After the Roman soldiers took Jesus into custody for His crucifixion, both Pilate and Herod questioned

The Voice Of The Martyrs

Day 244Today's Reading: Revelation 6 Located in Washington DC is the iconic memorial to Thomas Jefferson. And written on the northeast portico of the memorial are these sobering and haunting words our country needs to read and digest again from one of our founding fathers: “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” Wow, that is sobering. God’s justice will always be turned loose against sin. The best definition of sin I have

The Currency Exchange

Day 243Today's Reading: Revelation 5 When I travel overseas, the first thing I have to look for in that new country is a currency exchange counter. I need to turn US dollars into the currency of that country. My currency doesn’t work on their foreign soil. I can’t use dollars when they only accept pesos or euros. In today’s reading, we are introduced to a currency that is required to live on eternal soil and a transaction that benefits the planet. The return or rate on the currency is

Familiarity Versus Intimacy

2024/12/03

Day 242 Today's Reading: Revelation 4 Pastor Gordon Lester says this about two important words: “Familiarity and intimacy are not the same. Each has a value in life, certainly in married life, but one is no substitute for the other. If one is confused for the other, we have the basis for major human and marital unrest. In marriage, familiarity is inescapable. It happens almost imperceptibly. Intimacy is usually hard to come by. It must be deliberately sought and opened up and responded to

When My Opinion And My Reality Are Worlds Apart

Day 241 Today's Reading: Revelation 3 Some time ago, Cindy and I were doing marital counseling for a couple who were struggling in their marriage. I asked a question I always ask in those types of counseling appointments. It is one of reality and judgment, so I can see how clear they are in their thinking. I asked the wife first, “Is there anything you can do to help the marriage? What do you need to stop doing and what do you need to get better in?” “I can’t think of anything,” she said

Fighting Fear!

The 260 Journey ·

2024/11/21

Day 234Today's Reading: 1 John 4 For many years when researchers asked Americans about their top fears, here is how Americans responded: Their number 1 fear: public speaking. Their number 2: death. Think of it. People would rather die than speak in front of people. That's especially an issue for Christians because Christianity is very vocal: vocal in praise, vocal in witnessing, vocal in preaching. It's tough to be a silent Christian. Fortunately, 1 John 4 provides an antidote, a
