daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing? People ask why we are so intense when it comes to our "religion".  It's not a matter of dogma as it were but a belief system based on the creator and redemption from sin.  If we believe Jesus the Christ paid a ransom for each of us, how could we not be intense?  I know there have been many things done to people and peoples in the name of religion but believe the Word when it tells us that love is what Jesus is about.  Yes there are rules believers are to follow but there are also principles to live by that the men and women of every Jesus believing church fall down and miss the mark.  That is why by grace we are forgiven because if we had to earn it, we'd never get there.  This is for believers when I say that be careful who and how you criticize men and women called by God.  They fall often just like you and I and have shortcomings just like you and I but they are men of God and God will deal with them. It is very dangerous to speak ill of these .  David wouldn't even touch or speak ill of Saul because he was chosen of God and Saul had lost it and was doing crazy stupid things. Just think about what is important and don't get to wrapped up in peripheral junk that clouds truth. Remember this;


Mat 20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Heb 9:27-28

  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 

remember the families and victims of injuries, especially on this day

Heavenly Father,

  Help us not get distracted by junk that isn't our concern but keep prayer for those people in mind.  Teach us to be humble servants and wise to help and not hinder.  Help us be humble servants.  Teach us you truths in the stories we read in your Word. In Jesus name, amen
