This makes me hungry for a good deli sandwich-
HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-The cross is the supreme revelation of love-
2-God's love is not a license to sin nor an acceptance of our
disobedience-
3-God's love is not based on our response to Him-
4-To some extent, our love for another in the human realm is based on "what
you do for me"-
5-The naive overcomes foolishness through experience, the fool overcomes
foolishness through consequences, the scoffer overcomes foolishness only through
a radical change of heart-
STRANGE THOUGHT-If nothing sticks to Teflon, how does Teflon stick to the
pan?
I'VE LEARNED-Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their
beauty for they merely move it from their faces to their hearts-
DID YOU KNOW-Ducks will only lay eggs in the early morning-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-What is a heart that is "responsive to God"?
2-How did King Josiah become such a good king when his father and
grandfather were so evil?
3-Was Job's life a cosmic game of tug of war?
4-Why was Jeremiah so insecure and so depressed?
5-How was God able to use such an insecure and depressed person as
Jeremiah?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who is supposed to have suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia?
Yesterday's answer-Peter
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 15:22-29
22 The
apostles, the elders, and the whole church decided to send some of their men
with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, who
were respected by the believers. 23 They sent the following
letter with them:
From the apostles and elders, your
brothers.
To all the non-Jewish believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
Greetings!
24 We have heard that some of our group have come to you and said things that trouble and upset you. But we did not tell them to do this. 25 We have all agreed to choose some messengers and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 people who have given their lives to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 So we are sending Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things. 28 It has pleased the Holy Spirit that you should not have a heavy load to carry, and we agree. You need to do only these things: 29 Stay away from any food that has been offered to idols, eating any animals that have been strangled, and blood, and any kind of sexual sin. If you stay away from these things, you will do well.
Good-bye.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, we want to be set apart as a people who care
about others, regularly expressing care to them as we follow the Biblical
mandate that each of us should look not only to our own interests, but also to
the interests of others. Paul charged his readers to have the same attitude as
Christ Jesus who is the supreme example of putting other’s needs before His own.
May we be more interested in giving energy to others than taking it for
ourselves, for when we refresh others, we ourselves are refreshed. We are
replenished as we give to others, for Your reservoir never runs dry and we thank
You for it in Jesus’ name. Amen.
GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD
