Send us Fan MailThe devotion for today, Wednesday, August 31, 2022 was written by Rev. Dr. Neil G. Thomas and is narrated by Thomas Riggs. Today’s Words of Inspiration come from Luke 14.15-24The Story of the Dinner PartyThat triggered a response from one of the guests: “How fortunate the one who gets to eat dinner in God’s kingdom!”  Jesus followed up. “Yes. For there was once a man who threw a great dinner party and invited many. When it was time for dinner, he sent out his servant to the invited guests, saying, ‘Come on in; the food is on the table.’ “Then they all began to beg off, one after another making excuses. The first said, ‘I bought a piece of property and need to look it over. Send my regrets.’  “Another said, ‘I just bought five teams of oxen, and I really need to check them out. Send my regrets.’  “And yet another said, ‘I just got married and need to get home to my wife.’  “The servant went back and told the master what had happened. He was outraged and told the servant, ‘Quickly, get out into the city streets and alleys. Collect all who look like they need a square meal, all the misfits and homeless and down-and-out you can lay your hands on and bring them here.’  “The servant reported back, ‘Master, I did what you commanded—and there’s still room.’  “The master said, ‘Then go to the country roads. Whoever you find, drag them in. I want my house full! Let me tell you, not one of those originally invited is going to get so much as a bite at my dinner party.’”Support the show
