A SPECIAL THANKS!  To those of you who noticed yesterday's  MATHEMATICAL BLUNDER.  The title of yesterday's devotional should have been, "One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Fifty Five Years Ago."  :)

GodThoughts Wired!

"The World's Greatest Invitation"

Understanding Who the God of the Bible Really is,

and What the Message of the Bible Actually Says.

"In those days, there was no king in Israel;

everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

Judges 21:25

In my opinion, it is the world's greatest invitation.  There isn't even a close second.  Can you guess what it is?  I'm so excited about this series that I'll give a complimentary copy of my latest book, GodThoughts, Volume 2 to the first person to guess the correct answer.  Here are some clues:

-The invitation is given by God to all who are willing to receive it.

-It is a one-word invitation.

-It is a "conditional" invitation.

-Judges 21:25 (see above) is a HUGE HINT.

-God sent this very specific invitation via Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, John the Baptist, Jesus, John, Peter, to name a few.  They all used EXACTLY (meaning that the English translation of the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic are all the SAME WORD) the same terminology.

-Curiously (based on the numerous books and commentaries found in our local Bible book stores, as well as the many sermons that I have heard over the years), most pastors are unaware that the apostle Paul also (along with those listed above) used this single word to described his message.

Well...WHADAYATHINK?
