Monday January 24, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-So often we want the crown but don't want the cross-

2-A big position does not a big man make-

3-A perfect environment does not guarantee a perfect life-

4-God is not a worried father-

5-You can't love what you don't know-

STRANGE THOUGHT-I think my problem is indecisiveness, or maybe it is procrastination-

I'VE LEARNED-Children are natural mimics who act like their parents-

DID YOU KNOW-Rhythm and syzygy are the longest words without vowels-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KINOW

1-How could Jesus bear all the sins of all humanity?

2-Did Jesus suffer and die also for the sins of those who lived before his death and resurrection? Was it also retroactive?

3-Did Jesus suffer and die for all people of the world, even those people of the world who weren't known to exist then and over the following centuries?

4-Is baptism necessary for salvation?

5-Was Jesus truly God in human form?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What king was referred to by Jesus as "that fox"?

Yesterday's answer-Jehu

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Peter 1:1-9

¹ From Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ.

To you who have received a faith as valuable as ours, because our God and Savior Jesus Christ does what is right.

² Grace and peace be given to you more and more, because you truly know God and Jesus our Lord.

God Has Given Us Blessings

³ Jesus has the power of God, by which he has given us everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus called us by his glory and goodness. ⁴ Through these he gave us the very great and precious promises. With these gifts you can share in God's nature, and the world will not ruin you with its evil desires.

⁵ Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your lives: to your faith, add goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge;⁶ and to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service for God;⁷ and to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love.⁸ If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.⁹ But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins.

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