Tuesday November 6, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Jesus equates himself with God the Father so in effect God gave himself for our salvation-

2-Jesus dying for our sins says that if we insist on entering hell we do so over his dead resurrected body-

3-Don't come to God like a child dripping water on the floor while telling his mother he hasn't been out in the rain-

4-Unless someone does something, no one has a chance of going to heaven.  Fortunately there was and his name is Jesus-

5-We don't need a system, we need a savior; we don't need a resume, we need a redeemer-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-If your parents never had any children, chances are you won't either-

 

I'VE LEARNED-When you are important to someone, they will always find a way to make time for you, with no excuses-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Any free moving liquid in outer space will form itself into a sphere because of its surface tension-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How did the demon possessed man of Gadera know who Jesus was?

2-The demon possessed man said his name was legion which means 6000 soldier units of the Roman army.  Was this his real name (a former soldier) or referring to the number of demons in him?

3-Do demons take up actual space in a body or are they just evil spirits?

4-How is it possible for a person to have a legion of demons possess him?

5-Did the demon possessed man think he could scare and intimidate Jesus?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-How many spies did Moses send into Canaan?

Yesterday's answer-The chief priests and scribes   Luke 20:20

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   John 5:19-23

¹⁹ But Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing alone. The Son does only what he sees the Father doing, because the Son does whatever the Father does. ²⁰ The Father loves the Son and shows the Son all the things he himself does. But the Father will show the Son even greater things than this so that you can all be amazed.²¹ Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those he wants to.²² In fact, the Father judges no one, but he has given the Son power to do all the judging ²³ so that all people will honor the Son as much as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.  

 

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You have given to some the spiritual gift of discernment, and for others it’s the years of reading the Scriptures, listening to godly teaching and walking in obedience to You that discernment has characterized our faith journey. We want to be observant, understanding, and discerning about our times, so that we are prepared to do battle with the enemy and show others the way to eternal life. Amen.
