One of the most popular verses in the Bible is Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Many claim this verse to assure themselves or others that everything will be okay.
But people forget that this promise was delivered to God's people in exile. It's true that God knows his plans for you — but that doesn't mean they will be easy. Life coach and Bible teacher Becky Kiser offers a reminder to seek God first. |

August 19— A recent Gallup survey found that 37% of Americans believe God created human beings in more or less their present state within the past 10,000 years; 34% believe people evolved with God's guidance over millions of years; and 24% believe that people evolved naturally, with no divine involvement. The beliefs are influenced by factors such as church attendance, religious affiliation, politics, and education level. (Religion Unplugged, from Gallup) |
| August 21 — Nearly 100 organizations have banded together to bring the Bible to Deaf people in 300 sign languages around the globe. The partnership is addressing the gap in availability of Bible stories for Deaf peoples, many of whom cannot read or write in their local language. So far, 189 Bible stories have been rendered into 20 sign languages on the Deaf Pathway Bible App, with many more to come. (Religion Unplugged, via Baptist Press) |
| August 21 — A new scientific study suggests that the Shroud of Turin could in fact date from the time of Jesus (or shortly after). Discovered in France in the 14th century and long believed to have been Christ's burial shroud, the cloth was determined by scientists in the 1980s to be less than 1,000 years old. Now, however, the debate over its dating has reignited thanks to this new analysis. (RELEVANT, from Heritage) |
