“AT-ONE-MENT!”
John 17:11
“Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me that they may be one as We are.”

Yesterday was Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This morning as I was glancing over the copy ofBlessings From The Heart, the word "atonement" seemed to jump out at me and the three words AT-ONE-MENT seemed to flow. We know that Jesus is our atoning sacrifice and He desires for us to be "at one" with Him.

For years I have heard and frequently use the expression of "someone being so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use." I am sure that if you think about it you will immediately think of people that unfortunately fit this category.

I love the last few words of today’s Scripture: “…. that they may be one as We are.” Every time I read those words my heart skips a beat. Jesus is praying to His Father that we may be one with Him. To me that is the ultimate of AT-ONE-MENT. It is not doing our own thing, but yielding ourselves to His control so that we are at one with Him in thought, word, and deed.

There is another step that needs to be added to this equation. We need to be at one with each other. There is so much divisiveness in the body of Christ that it is the opposite of AT-ONE-MENT. That does not mean to compromise the basic fundamentals of the faith, but it does mean standing together at the foot of the cross with our hearts as one!

May God Richly Bless You As You bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
