Crowds

tpmorgan — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:26:45 +0000

Large crowds followed Jesus. Not everyone in that crowd fully committed their lives to Christ. But, it's obvious that there must be something attractive about Jesus to the crowd. I don't think we should be surprised if his ministry still attracts crowds today. In fact, I wonder if it shouldn't be the norm.

The Pace of Life

Love this verse! What a great reminder that God is trying to get my attention. He wants to guide my steps. But, sometimes, he waits for me to slow down before I hear him. When I'm fully at rest. When I've totally turned off the activity of my day. When I stop and listen, that's when God speaks. I need to slow down to hear God.

Megan23, please let me know which book it was that you quoted the passage from on January 6 under your post of "We Must Wait". It couldn't have been put more perfectly and I want to give that book to friends and family struggling with this issue. I'm not sure how to contact you or if there is a way to do so. So I apologize if I have done something incorrectly. You can email me at my screen name here on America Online. Thank you!

God works in mysterious ways.

My thoughts on Abraham asking Sarai to pose as his sister. Abraham wasn't necessarily directed by God directly to go to Egypt. He went because of famine and there was food in Egypt. Abraham wasn't necessarily directed by God to ask Sarai, his wife , to pose as his sister. He did this to keep from being killed. Obviously, women were considered possessions in that culture. Little did Abraham know that the Pharaoh himself would want Sarai as his wife. I am sure God did though and used all this to Abraham's good even though he messed up. And, by the way, it never said that the marriage to Pharaoh was consummated. Remember the sickness part? How far do you think God was willing to let this go?

What You See Is What You Get

corby — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:04:29 +0000

Obviously Jesus isn’t just talking about your physical eyes with pupils, retinas, lenses and all that. He’s talking about how what you see effects your spirit, your heart, and your mind. When you watch violence, your mind is filled with violence. When you watch soap operas, your mind is full of gossip and immorality. When you look at pornography your mind and heart are full of lust. You are what you eat. Garbage in, garbage out. What you see is what you get. What is it you want to come out of your life? That’s what you need to fill your life with. You need to be deliberate about it. You need to be careful about it. Fill it with God’s word. Fill it with love and compassion. Fill it with justice and righteousness. Your mind and heart are like a Tivo, but not so easily erased. If one were to plug your brain into a TV and hit the “play” button, what would they be watching? The reality is that God can see that at all times. If that scares you then you have some work to do. I’m not trying to get you with guilt, I’m trying to keep you on guard. You cannot have guilty pleasures and Godly pleasures at the same time. So check your specs. Clean the glasses of your heart and mind so that you will be full of light and not darkness.

Let Me Get This Straight.....

This has always bothered me. If your the husband of this beautiful women, and you know that there is a chance that theses guys are going to try and take your wife from you couldnt you come up witha better plan than this? I'm just saying! Your Sister. And then to top it off you let another man take her as his wife. That's goofy.
