Twitterbug

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Hello, dear friends.
I have something to tell you, and I’m a little embarrassed. Okay, a lot embarrassed.
This week, I signed up for Twitter.
Now, I had heard of Twitter. But I never in a million years saw myself actually taking part in it. I mean, the idea of zillions of people randomly typing their thoughts into [...]

What's My Motivation?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Matthew 6:1 – 4 Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on [...]

Matthew 5:43 – 48 You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, [...]

Turn the Other Cheek

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Matthew 5:38 – 41 You have heard that it was said, “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.” But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him [...]

Matthew 5:33-37 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is [...]

About Divorce . . .

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Matthew 5:31 – 32 It has been said, “Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.” But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Divorce. It is one of the ugliest [...]

Check This Out!

Friday, October 24th, 2008

I have recently discovered something that has the potential to save me time and money – both of which I am severely lacking. And, because I love you all so much, I’d like to share it with you!
I have discovered *Solomon Summaries*. This service reads all sorts of Christian books and summarizes them for you. [...]

About Lust . . .

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Matthew 5:27 – 30 You have heard that it was said, “Do not commit adultery.” But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for [...]

Matthew 5: 21-24 You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable [...]

The Intent of the Law

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Matthew 5:17 – 20 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear [...]
