Monday October 15, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Forgiveness is seeing past the faults and wrongs of the moment-

2-When you receive God's forgiveness for your sins you refuse to accept the condemnation of Satan-

3-If you forgive others for their wrongdoing, Satan can't condemn them either-

4-God hates sin but unconditionally loves the sinner and we must strive to do likewise-

5-When you forgive it doesn't mean you are accepting the wrongdoing, rather it means you are believing in God's power to overcome them-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Secular Christmas is a weird time.  What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead or artificial tree and eat candy out of your socks?

 

I'VE LEARNED-I feared my destiny until I realized that I had the power to change my life-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Buzz Aldrin's mother maiden name was Moon-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Can you influence the innocent to sin?

2-If two or more people agree about asking God for something, will they always get it?

3-Is God more present with 2 or 3 or with groups of thousands?

4-Are Christians to endlessly forgive an offender?

5-At what point does repeated forgiveness enable an offender?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who did Jesus send fishing in order to get money to pay taxes?

Yesterday's answer-King Menahem    2 Kings 15:19-20

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     John 2:23-25

 ²³ When Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Feast, many people believed in him because they saw the miracles he did. ²⁴ But Jesus did not believe in them because he knew them all. ²⁵ He did not need anyone to tell him about people, because he knew what was in people's minds.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we pray that we will not be fearful or ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that Christ will be exalted through us, whether by life or by death. Whatever happens, help us to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that we honor Your name and bring strength to the Christian body.  It is in the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen.
