Thursday June 21, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Jesus not only gives us a new life but also connects us to his power-

2-Jesus birth was majesty in the midst of the mundane-

3-When Mary was pregnant with Jesus, Joseph was caught in the middle, for the law said to stone her and his love for her said to believe her-

4-For God to give mankind a choice in serving him he had to create satan as an alternative-

5-Love is a choice and not just a feeling-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-The most fattening thing you can put in a double banana split is a spoon-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Promises mean everything, but after they are broken, sorry means nothing-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Los Vegas has the most chapels per capita than any other US city-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Would the inn keepers wife have been a midwife to Mary?

2-Why were shepherds considered to be low cast in their society? 

3-Why were shepherds the first people notified of Jesus' birth?

4-How did the shepherds know where to find the holy family in Bethlehem?

5Why would the villagers not believe the shepherds when they told them of their experience?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-According the Jewish Law, how many witnesses were necessary before a man could be tried and put to death?

Yesterday's answer-His father in law, Jethro   Exodus 18

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY      Matthew 18:15-20

¹⁵ "If your fellow believer sins against you,^[a] go and tell him in private what he did wrong. If he listens to you, you have helped that person to be your brother or sister again. ¹⁶ But if he refuses to listen, go to him again and take one or two other people with you. 'Every case may be proved by two or three witnesses.'^[b] 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen to the church, then treat him like a person who does not believe in God or like a tax collector.

    ¹⁸ "I tell you the truth, the things you don't allow on earth will be the things God does not allow. And the things you allow on earth will be the things that God allows.

    ¹⁹ "Also, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about something and pray for it, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. ²⁰ This is true because if two or three people come together in my name, I am there with them."

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, Your warnings regarding the deluge of deceitful tactics from the enemy is evidenced all around us – through the media, books, false prophets and even well-meaning but confused individuals. Your Word is the stabilizing and authoritative doctrinal manual for all that we need for life and godliness. Help us to be wise, studied, and vigilant so that we correctly discern good from bad, truth from error. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
