Monday June 15, 2009 thought for the day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Humility claimed is pride renamed-

2-Humility is a telltale sign of Christian discipleship-

3-In genuine Christianity, one person is not more important than another-

4-Age is like money, it isn't what you've spent but how much you have left-

5-You can't demand respect, you can only earn it-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Where in your brain is a memory before and after you are aware of it?

I'VE LEARNED-Success is being and doing your very best-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Is a person's mind renewed when they are "saved"?

2-Is the renewing of your mind a process or an act?

3-Since the early church spread under perilous conditions and todays church seems to be ineffective in spreading the Gospel, do we have the same power as they did?

4-Since Luke is the only non Jewish author of scripture, how, when and where did he become a follower of Jesus?

5-How could Luke trace the genealogical roots from Jesus back to Adam without written records?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 22:1-8

1 My God, my God, why have you rejected me? You seem far from saving me far from the words of my groaning.

2 My God, I call to you during the day, but you do not answer. I call at night; I am not silent.

3 You sit as the Holy One. The praises of Israel are your throne.

4 Our ancestors trusted you; they trusted, and you saved them.

5 They called to you for help and were rescued. They trusted you and were not disappointed.

6 But I am like a worm instead of a man. People make fun of me and hate me.

7 Those who look at me laugh. They stick out their tongues and shake their heads.

8 They say, "Turn to the Lord for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you, maybe he will rescue you."

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper
