scripture

 

Ephesians 4:22-24

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

 

En Espanol, Efesios 4:22-24

 

challenge

 

We have been called to live differently.

Imagine if we all wanted less and loved more.

Imagine if we cared for our neighbors.

Imagine if we shared things with no expectation of reciprocation.

Imagine if we committed intentional acts of kindness.

Imagine if we did what we said we were going to do.

Imagine if we slowed down to smell the roses.

Imagine if we learned how to play nicely with others.

Imagine if we knew the difference being wants and needs.

How might we live differently so that the world is thus inspired to join us?

 

prayer ministry

 

I joined a group on Facebook called “Adopt a Terrorist For Prayer”. Visit their website, http://www.atfp.org/, to find out more about this provocative ministry. Below is an email I signed up to receive from their website. You can sign up to receive these too and even adopt a terrorist for you to personally pray for!

 

Subject: False Alarm on Hakimullah

"Latest news from Pakistan indicates that Hakimullah Mehsud probably did not die from wounds sustained in a drone attack in January. If you have been praying for Hakimullah Mehsud, please continue asking God to intervene in ways that will change his heart and protect the people of Pakistan. Hakimullah is one of the world's most dangerous and most wanted men. He is to Pakistan and

Afghanistan what Osama bin-Laden is to the United States."
