Come & Listen

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:39:25 +0000

“Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love for me!” Psalm 66: 16-20.

Just doodling!

Today I was writing my prayer list, and I began doodling. As the lines and the lines of needs grew, I saw everything taking the form of a tree, or a grape vine. I added leaves, and the phrase crossed my mind. From John 14, Jesus said, “I am the vine, and you are the branches.”
I thought, all those years of Sunday School have payed off. The prayers are “effectual, fervent” and do “avail much.” Thank You, Lord, for an ongoing, and growing, relationship with You!
You know, as I think about it, isn’t it neat?

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has ben given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matt. 28:18-20

There’s always a way out.

God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.” I Cor. 10:13

Transformed By Trouble

Life’s Greatest Privilege

The Bible says, “Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. That is why he isn’t ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.” (Hebrews 2:11)

Consider Studying With Us

We are studying The Purpose Driven Life, with a heart’s desire that this be “A Refreshing!”

More than self helf, we need Christ’s help.

“Self help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.” Matthew 16:25
