Located in Nazareth, the first century “Nazareth Village” re-enacts life from 2,000 years ago.
Key Verse: Matthew 12:35
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.”
It was 4:00 a.m. and there it was…City of Toronto garbage truck #100 stopped on Jarvis Street picking up garbage. Just the morning before on the 100 Huntley Street TV show, we had suggested that everyone put the accumulation of their life’s “garbage” out at the curb and Jesus would take it away. Any evil things you treasure will eventually destroy you if you fail to get rid of them. As you join me daily in reading the Word, you’ll know what is evil and what is good. This blog is good treasure. Store up the good things consistently every day. You’ll bless others and yourself with good things!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Dear Jesus, forgive me for all the sin and wrong I’ve done. I put all these things out of my life. You promised to take away all my sin. Thank You! I treasure the good things You’ve given me. I will bring them out to bless others. Amen!
100 PERSONAL WORDS:
Before moving to Burlington, Ontario, our TV studios were located in downtown Toronto. Every morning at approximately 4:00 a.m., I would drive up Jarvis Street for my early morning time in God’s Word and in prayer. I had committed to spend at least an equal time in prayer and the Word as I would spend that day on live TV (90 minutes). During the drive, a huge billboard faced me with a picture of a scantily clad woman. I was angry. I wanted only to think of my beautiful wife. After a couple of days of putting those evil thoughts “out at the curb,” I would deliberately look to the other side of the street before that billboard appeared and would pray fervently for the people of the night, that our Nite-Lite show — on ’til 4:30 a.m. — would reach their hearts with the love of Jesus!
May God bless you with lots of GOOD today,
David
Lord Jesus, forgive us of all our sins. Help us come to You like little children, knowing we need You. Bless all your workers today, in Jesus’s name, amen

And I miss night lite live
Have a blessed day to you as well 🙏
Amen, amen to the prayers of David and Rob.
Those of the world put up so many billboards, different shapes sizes and messages, but all designed to draw us into the ways of the world.
I pray for more and more to be drawn instead to salvation and given the strength to stay away from those worldly things. Amen
Amen 🙏
