Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

The church is meant to be a hospital for sinners, not a trophy case for saints.

We are in grave danger when the Gospel no longer moves our hearts, compels us to tell others, and alters who we are and who we are becoming.

scripture

 

Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

quote

 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit” means:  “Blessed is the man who has realized his own utter helplessness, and who has put his whole trust in God.”  If a man has realized his own utter helplessness, and has put his whole trust in God, there will enter into his life two things which are opposite sides of the same thing.  He will become completely detached from things, for he will know that things have not got it in them to bring happiness or security; and he will become completely attached to God, for he will know that God alone can bring him help, and hope, and strength.  The man who is poor in spirit is the man who has realized that things mean nothing, and that God means everything.

William Barclay

“Like It, Love It, Need It“

 

Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don’t seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o

You’ll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You’ll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You’ll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You’ll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
You’ll never find peace of mind in your lucky charm
You’ll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You’ll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand
You’ll never find peace of mind in your superman

 

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
[some Jesus in your life, some Jesus in your life]

Like it, love it, need it, don’t leave it
Like it [don’t you like it? ]
Love it, need it [don’t you need it? ]
Don’t leave it

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you, God knows you need it

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
Some Jesus in your life
Jesus in your life

scripture

 

Proverbs 3:33-35

The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

scripture

 

Ephesians 5:8-14

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

thought

 

If you were being tried in a court for being a Christian, would your accusers be able to produce enough evidence to convict you? Or would you walk because no evidence could be produced?
