scripture

 

2 Corinthians 4:8, 16-18

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed… Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

 

 

En Espanol, 2 Corintios 4:4, 16-18

A Christian lady was complaining to a friend about the hardness of life and the circumstances that buffeted her and in anger said:  "Oh, I wish to God that I had never been made!"  "My dear child," replied the friend," you are not yet made; you are only being made, and you are quarreling with God's processes."

There is no miraculous cure for heartache.  With all the wonder drugs there is no instant and wondrous cure for sorrow.  We cannot use force of will to reach in and tear the sackcloth from our souls.  But we can achieve healing through faith.  We can share our troubles with our Heavenly Father.

scripture

 

Romans 8:35-39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

scripture

 

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

 

En Espanol, 1 Corintios 6:9-11

Isn’t sin all the same in the eyes of God?  Why is it that we have come to accept some sins while crusading against others?  Why doesn’t greed and slander get the same attention as the others in the same list?

scripture

 

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.

Acts 5:42

Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

Luke 15:3-7

Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

 

En Espanol, Lucas 15:3-7

 

 

I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.

Part 1: Today in chapel, we had a man from MBMS come and speak to us about missions and what it means to live missionally.  Jesus tells us to go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth.  (Acts 1:8)  It is important to notice that from where Jesus ministered, these places begin where He was standing and then expanded further and further outward.  Jerusalem then can be thought of as your neighborhood or city, Judea as your state, Samaria as your nation, and the rest of the world as the rest of the world.  No location is exempt and none are to be neglected.

Genesis 1:26-28

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

When God is ignored, so are those that He created in His image.

John 3:28-30

(John the Baptizer is speaking) “You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.' The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less.”

I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.

John knew that he was the messenger, not the message.  It is important to avoid raising ourselves up or putting ourselves in a position to be raised up by others.  We are not the focus.  God is the Good News.  We are His servants and we are to operate in such a way that He receives all the glory.
