1 Spring 2011 LARGE PRINT Years Southern Baptist Guide for Personal Devotions
2 HOWTO BECOME A CHRISTIAN Before you were born, God wanted you to know Him personally. He chose to show you how much He loves you. But to accept His offer, you need to know the ABC s of Salvation. ADMIT to God you re a sinner. Sin is refusing to acknowledge God s authority over your life. Everyone sins. The result of sin is spiritual death or eternal separation from God when you die. Repent; turn away from your sin and toward God. (See Acts 3:19; Romans 3:23; 6:23.) BELIEVE in Jesus Christ as God s Son and accept Jesus gift of forgiveness from sin. Jesus took the penalty for your sin by dying on the cross because you could not meet God s requirement for a perfect sacrifice for your sins. (See John 3:16.) CONFESS to God your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As Lord, Jesus has earned the right to be obeyed as a sheep obeys his shepherd. (See Romans 10:9-10,13; 1 John 1:9.) You may pray a prayer similar to this: Dear God, I know that You love me. I admit I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my sin. I place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray, amen. If you sincerely asked Jesus to be your Savior, tell a pastor or another Christian about your decision. Show your faith in Christ by asking a Bible-believing church for baptism by immersion. (See Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41.) To find a church, call the church or person who provided you with this copy of Open Windows. Read the Bible Through Each daily devotional includes the Read the Bible Through Scripture, which allows you to read the entire Bible in one year.

4 Celebrate with us our seventyfifth volume of Open Windows! We ve dedicated it to the men and women of The Baptist Sunday School Board (now LifeWay Christian Resources) who birthed this magazine, sustained it through the decades, and now seek to preserve it for future generations. During our yearlong celebration, we re featuring past as well as present writers. You may recognize the names of James L. Sullivan, Howard P. Colson, and Harry Piland, who served the BSSB in key positions. We re honored to include devotions contributed by our president, Dr. Thom Rainer, and vice-president, Dr. Tom Hellams, along with other leaders of LifeWay. Long-time readers will especially enjoy the Easter devotions, first published in 1987, written by favorite Bessie Kennedy. Covers from previous spring issues grace the art pages.

The interesting history of Open Windows is presented in a timeline. Selected events from the magazine s legacy are placed alongside memorable events in our nation and denomination.

7 Tuesday, March 1 Open Windows Devotional Passage: Daniel 6:10 Read the Bible Through: Numbers Mark 5:1-20 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Daniel 6:10 My first office didn t have windows. Now I have an office that allows me to look from the southeast around to the northeast of the city. What a difference! While these windows don t actually open, the openness that comes with having them allows some things in like the natural light of day that floods the room-- and lets me check on the weather or the traffic flow on the interstate I take home. For Daniel that spot in front of his open windows became hallowed ground. Regularly, he paused there to spend time with God. No doubt he experienced the light of God that flooded his soul and acquired an outlook on life that enabled him to stand faithfully for the Lord, even when the times were tough. Like Daniel, you and I need a place to meet the Lord daily a place to worship Him and find strength to live faithfully in all situations. That s the mission of this magazine and all who help make it possible. Father, help me open myself before You that I may find strength to live openly for You.
