Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day? I get alot of prayer requests and questions asked. Some are doctrinal type questions and some are life issues. Some issues are interesting and thought provoking. Some are heart wrenching. I believe that so many issues can be handled with basic thought process and ideals based on sound study with in scripture. Many advice columns in the world are so full of "me me me" that it sickens me when I hear these off hand advices repeated. They seem to flourish due to selfishness and they "sound right". We can read the scriptures and find that until we come to a saving knowledge of Christ we are prone to accepting doctrine that satisfies our basic carnal nature. That being said, not all worldly advise is bad. Some wisdom, simply due to life experiences, are passed on by men and women who have been through the same stuff you and I are going through and they already goofed up and are trying to teach us. Here are some verses with perfect guidance for our lives woes and pleasures. Read and meditate on them and if you have some questions, do your own research, ask questions, pray for wisdom, seek the one who made all of this.
Rom 13:8-14
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
NIV
That is some pretty awesome council right there...
Remember Jennifer Redmon...remember John Greer...remember Bill Swope...remember Richard Peddicord...remember Mike Haney...remember Christy Allen and her knees...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love and grace that saved a wretch like me. Lord we ask for your wisdom and spirit to come over us in a manner that we glow with the comfort and love that you are. Lord, we ask for healings physically and spiritually for the people mentioned and those unspoken. Bless us and our endeavors in Jesus' holy name, amen
