2-The suffering that Jesus endured on the cross is literally unimaginable-

3-You don't need to have all your questions answered to become a believer in and follower of Jesus-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why, after Jesus is twelve years old, does Joseph seem to become a missing person?

2-Why don't John, Mark or Paul in their writings ever discuss the virgin birth?

3-Did Isaiah prophesy a "virgin birth" or could the Greek translation also have meant "young woman" as Mary was probably a mid teenager?

5-Is the term "original sin" a Christian theological term found in the Bible?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Where is this commonly used phrase found in the Bible-"spare the rod and spoil the child"?

Answer for today     Proverbs 13:24

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Luke 12:11-12

¹¹ “When you are brought into the synagogues before the leaders and other powerful people, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say. ¹² At that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you must say.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, You want us to be on the look-out for our enemy’s activity and beware of his approach in the daily temptations he brings to our mind. The narrative might have changed a great deal, had the disciples been on their guard in the Garden of Gethsemane after Jesus warned them to pray rather than sleep through the night. We find ourselves much like them because we often ignore the warnings or become nonchalant, thinking we’ve heard them all our lives. Yet Your warnings and promises in Scripture are like a strong tower for the soul. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Your words are truth and all Your promises will be fulfilled in time. You are a strong tower and we who are righteous run to You and find safety through Christ Jesus our Lord. It is in His name that we pray.  Amen.


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