STRANGE THOUGHT-Don't judge a book by it's movie-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

3-Love sent Jesus to the cross.  Was it love for his father or love for us to reconcile us to the father?

4-Besides Christianity, does any religion have love at it's core?

5-What can we do for others that would express God's love for them?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Mark 8:11-13

¹¹ The Pharisees came to Jesus and began to ask him questions. Hoping to trap him, they asked Jesus for a miracle from God. ¹² Jesus sighed deeply and said, “Why do you people ask for a miracle as a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to you.” ¹³ Then Jesus left the Pharisees and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, we ask for clean hands, a pure mind, and a steadfast heart that follows hard after You. Temptation regularly knocks at our door, but with Your Holy Spirit residing within, we have the will and desire to turn it away.  We don’t want even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, or anything considered improper for Your holy people. It is through Christ that we can live such a life above reproach and honoring to You. Amen.

 

TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND!
