Saturday August 28, 2010 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-A lack of a guilty conscience is not a stamp of approval-

2-Faith is not intelligent understanding but a deliberate commitment to God where I see no way-

3-We don't need more programs in the church, we need more of God's presence-

4-Nothing can counterfeit the presence of God-

5-It is easier to discuss than to do-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Dig your well before you are thirsty-

I'VE LEARNED-Not all financial tests have to do with empty billfolds-

DID YOU KNOW-Every minute, forty seven Bibles are sold or distributed throughout the world-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Was manna a divinely produced food or a secretion from the Tamarish tree?

2-What was manna composed of that it could sustain the Israelites for 40 years?

3-Were the quail provided to the Israelites after crossing the Red Sea a divinely produced bird or a natural migration of birds?

4-What is known as the Fifth Gospel?

5-Why has the tiny land of Israel commanded the attention of so many empires?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What woman of Midian was killed by being run through with a javelin?

Yesterday's answer-Haggith

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 6:37-42

Look at Yourselves

³⁷ "Don't judge others, and you will not be judged. Don't accuse others of being guilty, and you will not be accused of being guilty. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

³⁸ Give, and you will receive. You will be given much. Pressed down, shaken together, and running over, it will spill into your lap. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you."

³⁹ Jesus told them this story: "Can a blind person lead another blind person? No! Both of them will fall into a ditch.

⁴⁰ A student is not better than the teacher, but the student who has been fully trained will be like the teacher.

⁴¹ "Why do you notice the little piece of dust in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the big piece of wood in your own eye?

⁴² How can you say to your friend, 'Friend, let me take that little piece of dust out of your eye' when you cannot see that big piece of wood in your own eye! You hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your friend's eye.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
