Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
En Espanol, Salmos 19:14
quote
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.
En Espanol, Romanos 8:35-39

Without Christ I was like a fish out of water. With Christ I am in the ocean of love.

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
thought
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.
En Espanol, 1 Corintios 13:1-3

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.
En Espanol, Hechos 5:42
No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once.

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.
John Keith Falconer
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."
En Espanol, Génesis 1:26-28
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.
James Caviezel, actor that portrayed Jesus in the film The Passion of the Christ
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.

scripture
Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
thought
The moon has no light of its own. It mirrors the light that the sun puts forth. Christians are to be in the same way reflections of the Light of our Father.

scripture
Ephesians 6:11-12
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
En Espanol, Efesios 6:11-12

We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen.

Four or five weeks ago, our church began doing outreach in our apartment complex. We have so far held an ice cream social and a pumpkin decorating contest. Two weeks ago, I went out to the car and found a business card promoting “adult entertainment” services. It upset me that this type of business has a place in our society, that it decided to promote itself our complex, and that the cards were completely accessible to children. What is interesting about this situation is that this is the first time this has happened in all the time that my wife and I have lived there. Certainly the good that we desire to do there is being resisted by the powers that be.
