Matthew chapters 5-7 contain the greatest concentration of Jesus’ teachings in the Bible. Practical spirituality to be lived out is made clear by this sermon.  He ends it by saying if a person builds his life on these teachings, he is wisely building a lifestyle that will weather any storm.

That’s exactly what my father, David Demos, did about 70 years ago.  Having lost his own father when he was ten, David looked to this passage to give him the life guidance he didn’t have from an earthly father.  It worked.  My Dad has been a spiritual rock for our entire family, and many others searching for the meaning of life.  He’s still living, and is the godliest man I know.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, thank You for the words of life that You speak to us if we’ll listen.  Bring these words to our remembrance throughout the day so we can be faithful to Your Kingdom.
