My Bible Journey

More thoughts…

• Mark 6:6 - I hope this is never the case with me!
• Mark 6:30-31 - Sometimes the godliest thing we can do is rest! (Craig’s post today on this subject was AWESOME!)
• Mark 7:5 - There will always be someone who has a problem with the way we do ministry!
• Mark 7:8 - I pray that I will never forsake God’s Word for the traditions of man.
• Mark 9:38-41 - I wish the church could get this!!! We are on the same team!
• Mark 11:22-25 - One of my constant prayers is that God would allow my faith to continually increase.
• Mark 12:41-44 - God is honored through generous giving!
• Mark 13:10 - I am so glad I am getting to see this happen!
• Mark 14:3-9 - God is honored through generous giving!
• Mark 15:43 - True followers of Christ cannot stay hidden in the shadows–there is a time to come forward and identify with Him. (By the way–that time is NOW!)
• Mark 16:15 - This was not a recommendation! It seems by this that large numbers of people coming to faith in Christ mattered to Him; therefore, it should matter to me!
• Luke 1:37 - I need to keep this in mind at ALL TIMES!
• Luke 1:49 - I have no idea how awesome it is that God would do ANYTHING for me…He has blessed me WAY beyond anything I deserve.
• Luke 2:39 - Jesus’ earthly parents were completely obedient to Scripture, I pray that Charisse will say the same about Lucretia and I when she grows up!
• Luke 3:6 - YES!!!
• Luke 3:16 - John knew his place–at His feet–the same place that I need to continually place myself.
• Luke 4:18-19 - Jesus came to be a light to the world, to set captives free, to preach good news–that should be my mission as well.
• Luke 4:37 - Somehow I just believe this was a good thing!!!
• Luke 4:42-44 - Jesus didn’t let anything distract Him from His purpose–neither should I.
• Luke 6:6 - Jesus intentionally did things on the Sabbath in order to offend the religious. That makes me smile.
• Luke 6:12-13 - I should seriously seek the Lord in prayer before making big decisions!
• Luke 6:17-19 - Jesus came in order to change people’s lives!
• Luke 6:26 - There are times when we all need to hear this…the fact is that if we do what Jesus called us to do we will not be liked by everyone!
• Luke 7:29-30 - There will always be an element of society that does not like the fact that the Gospel is for all people…please keep in mind that these were the same people who knew all about the Bible but didn’t know Christ. This challenges me to make sure that I don’t think that the Gospel is reserved for those who think and act just like me!
