The Daily Pulse (Monday, September 30, 2013): And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:8-14 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Sunday, September 29, 2013): And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Colossians 1:18 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Saturday, September 28, 2013): “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Friday, September 27, 2013): After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. John 17:1-5 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Thursday, September 26, 2013): Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:7-10 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Wednesday, September 25, 2013): As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:1-5 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Tuesday, September 24, 2013): The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2 (NIV)

Every father and daughter dreams of the day when they will walk hand-in-hand down the aisle to meet an anticipating groom. But for this father those dreams came to a screeching halt when he learned that his fight with cancer would be ending in just a few short months. Determined to not miss out on those special steps, he walks each of his daughters down the aisle in a special ceremony. Keep your tissue box close, because you will need it. :')

The Daily Pulse (Monday, September 23, 2013): “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." John 15:18-19 (NIV)

John 3:16"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 12:1--2 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ..."

• God has desired us to be a holy, sanctified, and separate people.

• But not alone!

• The separate is from the world and not from people.

• We struggle with the overwhelming pull of the world to be like the world in our attitudes, actions and appearance.

• We renew our minds by filling them with things of the Lord, not things of the world.

• The more we parade the presence of Christ—listening, waiting, reading, praying—

• The more we want to be like him!

• We begin to desire holiness.

• It's an act of the will and an attitude of the heart that affect our outward actions.
