Faith

Faith came singing into my room
and other guests took flight.
Grief, anxiety, fear and gloom,
Sped out into the night.

The Christian Gospel

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued and that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.
The Reason For God, Timothy Keller

Jesus Christ

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way. A.W. Tozer

Help One Another

A friend of mine took the picture below. He and I, and four others took a little hike to a summit and as we were hiking up we were assigned a rock to carry. The rock represented a burden. A personal burden, a family burden, and a ministry/work related burden. We walked in silence as we offered the burdens to God. Each of us had to carry every one's rock for part of the trek up the mountain. Upon reaching the top and looking out over a beautiful bluff we built the little altar to God, took the Lord's Supper and were encouraged to offer our concerns to God and help one another. I want to encourage you to offer your concerns to God and give and receive help. Do not go it alone. Take a moment. Give the worries on your mind and heart to God. Call someone this eve and give them an encouraging word. Be ready to receive help and give help.

Jesus

God appeared not with trumpets sounding and the hoofbeats of horses, not with great armies at His command, but in the person of Jesus who had nothing. When He was born, He was born in a borrowed manger - a feeding trough. When He rode into town in Jerusalem in fulfillment of Scripture, He rode on a borrowed donkey. And when He was buried, He was buried in a borrowed tomb. He was a true radical with His message for the poor. He kicked over the tables of the money changers in the Temple, signaling that the old system of sacrifice associated with the Temple was now out of business. He was not a white Anglo-Saxon, so commonly pictured in the West; He was an olive skinned Semite born in the Middle East - a man for all seasons, a suffering servant, not ashamed to call the despised His brothers and sisters, nor to bear the sins we keep secret.

The Faith, Charles Colson and Harold Ficket

The Word Of God

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. II Timothy 3:16

20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
II Pete 1:20-21

You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David...
Acts 4:25

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Put Your Heart Into It

So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart. Nehemiah 4:6

..with all their heart. That is how we should approach our day and our work. It is no easy task, yet it can be done. Put your heart into it. We do not like people to do something for us at work in a half mannered way and we should not do things at work in a half mannered way. Put thought, effort, sweat, and heart into your work.

Philippians 4:4-8 - Read It Everyday This Week

4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
