The whole idea of revealing too much of yourself can cause much concern. Reference: v.10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (NIV Bible)
While looking for Christian Devotions I have been impressed with the quality of some of the writers on YouVersion . Linda uploads a link to her devotions there everyday but some of the other contributers are very good too. We are really blessed by the work that Lifechurch.tv do in this area as well as the many resources they offer all Christians at open.lifechurch.tv
Often it's not until after the event that we can see how God's timing was well placed. Reference: v.9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (NIV Bible)
Even though listening to the preacher is my favourite part, I do not leave my brain at the door and just accept every single word that is spoken. Reference: v.1a But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. (NIV Bible)
I must admit, often I am so caught up on deepening my own faith that I don't stop to think how I can leave a lasting impression for others to deepen their faith. Reference: v.15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things. (NIV Bible)
I find it devastating to see people waste their lives in dead-end jobs and they don't bother changing because they have nothing else to drive them. Reference: v.10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall. Explore: Some people love looking through the job section of the newspaper. Even if they are secure in their own position they just like to know what else is out
Growing up in a fairly tradition church I found that many of the songs were Bible verses put to music.
Reference: v.24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy. Explore: My father has the voice of an angel - a male, tenor angel mind you. My mother on the other hand is blessed with many talents, however singing is not one of them. So, going by genetics, I had a 50/50 chance of being able to sing
Leadership is very important and there should be certain expectations placed on leadership, but that doesn't mean that we no longer have to toe the line ourselves. Reference: v.7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. (NIV Bible)
It seems that in my daughter’s ideal world she has a great deal of possessions and has gained everything using someone else’s money – usually mine! 2 Corinthians 12.11-21 Reference: v. 20a For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. (NIV Bible)
No one knows your weaknesses greater than you do. That is, no one but God. 2 Corinthians 12.1-10 Reference: v.9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NIV Bible) |
