- Good morning, this is Tom Rellinger with Encouragement for Your Day.
Jesus saw the paralytic and said, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” When
the so-called religious experts of the day questioned the authority of
Jesus to forgive sins he said, “Which is easier to say to the paralytic,
‘Your sins are forgiven’, or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk?’”
He then healed the paralytic, who walked out of the room in full view of
Jesus’ skeptics. Obviously claiming that someone’s sins were forgiven
could not be verified or proven – healing a man however was a
confirmation of Jesus’ authority (Mark 2:1-12).
What is it that you’re looking for in your own life? Physical healing? Spiritual healing? Regardless, Jesus has the answer. Why not let him figure out what’s most needed in your life? If you’re looking for a church where the services are simple, the messages are clear, and all are welcome - then come visit us at the Petoskey Church of Christ, the little white church in the woods, across from Home Depot in Petoskey.

August 1st , 2011 - Good morning, this is Tom Rellinger with Encouragement for Your Day. Unity is difficult. At the heart of many problems is a rebellious spirit. The Democrats say one thing and the Republicans another. When they can’t agree, which is far too often, the Independents chime in with their own two cents. You see the disagreements even within their own party ranks. The President says one thing and the majority leader another. Why can’t we all move forward in unity? The answer is clearly spelled out in the Bible.
Proverbs 28:2 says, “When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers.” God’s intent was that there would be only “one” law – His. God’s law stands above man’s law. If we want unity, then we have to align ourselves with a standard that can unify us – God’s word. The framers of our Constitution understood this great point – so much so that without God’s law they feared greatly that our country would fail. There’s only one political or social party – The Lord God Almighty!

Friday, July 29th, 2011 - Good morning, this is Tom Rellinger with Encouragement for Your Day. The clouds role in and the rain begins to fall. We don’ mind an occasional day of overcast skies. There are times when the rain seems to drag on in our lives – even when the sun is shining. We get this “overcast” feeling that lingers. We look for the silver lining in the clouds, but we just can’t seem to find it. God never intended that you stay in the cloud for very long. His Word is filled with hope and promises.
The Psalmist wrote – Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song (Psalm 28:6-7).
Cast your burdens upon God – he knows how to remove the clouds in your life.

Monday, July 25th, 2011 - Good morning, this is Tom Rellinger with Encouragement for Your Day. It seems as if someone is not telling the truth. A politician says one thing – another something quite different. Each has their own spin. Sometimes, I even think that they both “believe” they’re telling the truth. Maybe at the heart of these conflicting stories the advice of the Psalmist could help: Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).
Being truthful with others begins by us being truthful with ourselves. Being truthful with ourselves begins by being truthful before an all-knowing and all-consuming God. The words of our tongue should echo the words that are written upon our hearts . . . words written by God himself.
