scripture
Luke 10:22
Jesus, "
quote
Biblical evangelism is always, without exception, the law to the proud and grace to the humble. Never will you see Jesus present the gospel, the good news, the cross, the grace of our God to a proud, arrogant, self righteous person. No. With the law He breaks the hard heart and with grace He heals the broken heart. Why? Because He always did what pleased the Father. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble!

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go *hmm* where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities"?
Oh, and no dropped calls!

scripture
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."

Yesterday in church the pastor read these verses before we took of the Lord’s Supper. When he read these verses I heard them differently than I had ever before heard them.
When our bodies are broken and our blood spilt for His kingdom then that act is an act of remembrance of His own sacrifice.
Paul tells us, “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Romans

scripture
1 Peter 3:13-14
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."
quote
The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life.

scripture
1 Corinthians 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind.

scripture
Matthew 6:25-26, (27-34)
Jesus speaking, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

What a world this would be if we could forget our troubles as easily as we forget our blessings.

scripture
Isaiah 66:2
Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.”
quote
Do you tremble at His word? Or do you look for loopholes around it? Do you excuse your sin? Do you avoid the Word now because you know it is going to talk to you and talk about you? People come to me all the time and say “Brother Paul, I have a new relationship with God”. And then I go to 1 John chapter 1 verse 8 and say, “Do you have a new relationship with sin?” Because if you don’t have a new relationship with sin then you don’t have a new relationship with God. Are you sensitive to sin?
