Quit the games . . .

January 5, 2011 at 3:56 pm (The Message)

Quit your worship charades.
I can’t stand your trivial religious games:
Monthly conferences, weekly Sabbaths, special meetings—
meetings, meetings, meetings—I can’t stand one more!
Meetings for this, meetings for that. I hate them!
You’ve worn me out!

while you go right on sinning. Read the rest of this entry »

Trusting

January 5, 2011 at 3:52 pm (The Message)

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit –Jeremiah 17:7-8

Let’s Celebrate . . .

January 4, 2011 at 3:51 pm (The Message, The Voice)

We have cause to celebrate because the Grace of God has appeared, that offers the gift of salvation to everyone. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good –Titus 2:11-14

He has already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously—take God seriously –Micah 6:8
