CHECK IT!

Look at Psalms 86! ....you won't be disappointed!

November 19---Everybody Is a Priceless Treasure

We are HEIRS! What a gift we don't deserve. How are we going to use that gift? How are we portraying the family name?



Let this be your prayer: God I'm willing to do what you want me to do, show me how, and I will do it!

Colossians 4:2-6

Love others for they need your love. Loving them shows the love of Christ.

PRAISE GOD!!

Psalms 47:6

Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm!


Praise be to God that I got my keys back!!!! Thanks for all the prayers.

November 12---Howdy, Neighbor

Neighbors are people in need- whoever and wherever they may be.

Dictionary.com definition of neighbor- a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans

So don't limit your love to people like you or people you like. Jesus wants us to love everyone. Jesus will teach us many lessons through other people that maybe very different from us. So remember if you don't take the opportunity to love someone you could be missing out on that person and possibly something that God has to offer to you.

God left no loopholes in his love command. sooo..............DO IT!!!



Discussion Questions:

Have you ever limited your love to specific people?

How can you stretch your love wider?

November 10---Is Anybody Interested in Me?

The GOOD NEWS is that God loved you enough to enter YOUR WORLD. Thanks be to God that we don't have to fit in anyone else's mold and that we can be just the way we are.

How has God proven his interest in you today?

November 9---Turn On the Love Light

It's difficult to believe that God can love us if our need for human love has gone unmet. For this reason alone we have reason to love the people around us so that they may know that God loves them.

I'm getting excited for THANKSGIVING!!

"Thankful":
1. Feeling gratitude: feeling or expressing gratitude, we must be thankful for small mercies
2. Glad about something: glad or relieved about something

How has God blessed you in the past year?
Can you remember specific times when you called out to God in prayer?
How did God respond to your request?
Sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers the way we want. God sees our situation much better than we do and we can trust that He always has our best interest in mind. We only see a tiny piece of the puzzle and God has the entire puzzle, and he know how to put it together.
Do you ever find it difficult to be thankful?
Some situation make it hard to be thankful but we can still find reasons to be thankful. Knowing Jesus loves us and choose to die for us is a big enough reason. Knowing God is in control gives us peace, he has a purpose for our life. God blesses us in so many ways that we sometimes fail to recognize. Think about all the wonderful things in our lives: family, friends; think how empty life would be without them.

B baby Jesus; 2000 years ago God sent His son to earth
E everlasting life; He gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, Jesus choose to die for us so we could spend eternity in Heaven with Him one day (John 3:16)

T thanksgiving turkey; FOOD!
H health and healing; you can pray for God's healing power (Isiah 53:5 pierce for our transgressions) (Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken hearted and bind up their wounds)
A abundant life; plentiful: God is present in great quantities; Jessus desires our lives to be full of meaning (Jeremiah 29:11)
N neighbors and friends; such a treasure in life; when you're feeling down, true friends are always there offering love, hope and encouragement; (John 15:13 greater love has no one than this, that He lay down His life for His friends...God died for us, His friends) Love your neighbors as yourself
K King of Kings; our King is the greatest; He will always be greater than all the evil of this world
F forgiveness; Do you ever think of how undeserving we are of His love? Imagine owing a huge debt you couldn't pay and Jesus took it all for us.
U umbrella of protection; Knowing God cares for us and He's always watching is very comforting (1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you)
L Love that is unimaginable; God's love for us is so hard to understand because God's love is unconditional. He love us no matter what; He commands us to love one another as he has loved us, every person has the image of God.

November 3---Stewed Tomatoes and Tennis Shoes

LO SIENTO---I'm sorry I haven't posted in like forever...I have been way way busy, but now that 2 out of the 4 tests I have to take this week are done, I'm feeling not as stressed.

Do you have the changed life of a Christian?

Can you feel the weight of Christ in your life?

REVELATION 3

To the Church in Sardis

  • Sardis was a city of wealth and fame
  • How God is revealed: He holds the seven spirits and seven stars
  • vs. 1 God tells the church that they don't have an alive relationship with God. They are dead.
  • vs. 2 WAKE UP! God does not find our deeds honoring when we are not "alive".
  • vs. 3 God tells us to remember what we have learned and obey it, repent of our old ways.
  • vs. 4-5 Jesus will come back someday so be ready, because only the ones who have followed vs. 3 will go with Him.
  • vs. 6 He who has an ear let him hear (repeated at the end of every letter to the churches, must be pretty important!!)
To the Church in Philidelphia

  • How God is revealed: Holy and True, holds the key of David: He is in the highest position of royal court who opens and closes doors for us (see Isiah 22:22).
  • vs. 8 God is pleased when we follow even when we have little strength.
  • vs. 9 God is very unpleased when we claim we are Christ followers and we aren't, it is a lie.
  • vs. 10 By following God patiently we will be kept from the hour of wrath.
To the Church in Laodica

  • Laodica was the wealthiest city of the seven John the Baptist wrote to.
  • How God is revealed: faithful and true, ruler of creation.
  • vs. 15-16 God sees we are lukewarm and not hot, He wants us to be one or the other.
  • vs. 17 We think we are rich and don't need God, but we are wretched, pitiful, poor, blinded, and naked; we NEED God, God doesn't need us.
  • vs. 19 God disciplines us because He loves us.
  • vs. 20 God is waiting for us to come for Him, all we have to do is GO for Him. In this biblical time dining together meant true intimacy. God wants intimacy with us.
  • vs. 21 When we accept God, we are called to be HOT, and we will have eternal life.

October 22---The Futility of Hoop-Jumping

1 Corinthians 1:26-31

If we had to earn our way into heaven, we would never make it there. Thankfully, God has designed us so that He will get the credit in our lives, not us. I can enjoy salvation because of what God has done, not because of anything I can do. We might be good, but we are not good enough, that's why God has come to save us. It amazes me that we serve such a gracious God that would come save our sorry butts, even though He had no reason to need us. I am who I am because of what God has done!

October 21---Take It Away, Jesus

This analogy is so good! I never thought of it in that sort of way. Pretty darn cool!

A GOOD Laffy Taffy Joke

Q: Which animal talks the most?



A: A Yak hahaha :)

October 20---The Wisdom of "Foolish" Words

As Christians, we have high expectations of non-Christians. We should remember not to judge them because they are not living by the same standard as we are (God). We should do all we can to help them find this standard but until they do, we have no right to judge them for their ways. When sharing Christ with non-believers, they will not understand how we feel about Jesus Christ. Pray that God would change their heart so that they can see that they need the love of Jesus.

REVELATION 2

God choose the apostle John to write to these specific 7 churches because they encircled the main route of the circuit and He started with Ephesus and went in the following order clockwise .

To the Church in Ephesus

  • How God is revealed: He holds the 7 stars and walks among the churches
  • vs. 4 God is angry because the people have forgotten what clumsy spontaneous worship (What does worship look like in your life?)
  • vs. 6 the Nicolaitains were teaching that spiritual liberty gave the right to idolatry and immorality. the Nicolaitains worshiped Baalam and fell under the rule of Queen Jezebel
  • vs. 7 He who has ears let him hear. (this is repeated in every message that was given to the seven churches, that must mean that it is important.....Are you listening to God?) Paradise: Persian word for a pleasure garden; symbolizes God and believers being restored to the perfect fellowship that existed before sin entered the world.

To the Church in Smyrna

  • How God is revealed: He is the first and the last and He died and came to life again
  • vs. 8 God hates it when they say they are Christians and they do not follow, He would rather them not be Christians at all. Be Hot or Cold for God not lukewarm (hint: be HOOTTTTT!!) :)
  • vs. 9 Do not be afraid, be faithful even to death and you will receive life

To the Church in Pergamum

  • How God is revealed: He has the sharp double edged sword (divine judgement)
  • vs. 12-17 God tell the people of their sin and tells them to REPENT (What sin is God showing you? How are you repenting of it?)

To the Church in Thyatira

  • How God is revealed: With eyes of blazing fire and feet like burnished bronze
  • vs. 18-28 God gave Jezebel time to repent and she refused, so she will be put to death. God searches hearts and minds!!! That's pretty amazing! God is pleased with us following His will.


October 19th---Turn to the One Who Understands

Jesus not only knows about the loneliness of rejection, but he's also the answer to it.

Hebrews 4:15


Side note:

366 times "DO NOT FEAR" is said in the bible. I think it must be pretty important, God doesn't want us to fear, but to trust in Him. It's pretty ironic that there are 365 days in a year, and God told us DO NOT FEAR once for each day and an extra time in case we forget. Trust God.

October 15th---Working Your Way through the Pain

The Stages of Greif:

1. DENIAL Unwilling to believe that something so terrible could happen to you.
2. ANGER You become angry at God for "doing" such a thing, and take it out on others.
3. BARGAINING You try to make a deal with God that you will do anything to change what has happened.
4. DEPRESSION Bad feelings towards the circumstance.
5. ACCEPTANCE Accepting reality and deal with it constructively.

God brings us all grief, to strengthen our relationship with Him. Remember the next time God brings you into a situation you don't want to be in that He is testing you and He wants you to become closer to Him through the situation. When you recognize you're in a time you don't want to be in, or you're unhappy, ask yourself "What does God want to teach me through this?"

James 1:2-4
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Steadfastness- firm in purpose, strong in faith, attachment to God

October 12th---More than Enough Love to Go Around: Part 2

What sacrafice did you make for your relationship with God today?

How did you spend time with God today other than reading today's devotional?

October 8th

What did God do in your life today?

October 7th---Is the Holy Bible Holey?

The Holly Bible is Whole!

October 6th---More Love than You Can Handle

He loves you because He is love to the very core of His being.

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

October 5th---Specially Equipped

There is somewhere our abilities can be put to use. We each have a unique ability to serve God in a unique way. The Holy Spirit has a way he wants to express the love of God through you. It's your spiritual gift. It's okay to not know what your gift is right now, because God will reveal it to you, if you wish to serve Him with it. Your gift makes you significant not only to God but to each other.

YOU ARE A VITAL PART OF GOD'S PLAN.
NO ONE ELSE CAN DO WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOU TO DO!

October 4th---After God Made You, He Broke the Mold

If there's only one you out of all those billions and billions of people, why would you want to be like someone else. God has created you to be you.

GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK!

October 3rd---Do the Math

HAHAHA! I love the title of this one!

Sometimes evangalism can seem overwhelming can't it.

God has a master plan of rescuing this world. He tells us to do so by discipling. When we bring someone to Christ, we teach them to bring someone to Christ, and then they will teach them. It is a chain reaction of discipleship. Saving this world is practical with God.


October 2nd---Commissioned 110 Percent

Lord has called us to a lifestyle. We are called to rescue people from the darkness. This seems like a huge responsibility. Luckily we're not in it alone. We have God's help. By staying close to God, He will teach us how to do His work. The holy spirit will fill us and give us hearts for serving. Serving, and sharing the gospel is worship to God.

We are privileged to join God in his mission to save this world. Do you ever feel as though you aren't good enough to do God's work? I do. Remember the holy spirit will be with us and make us adequate to do the work. As we rely on God to do His work, we will always be a winner. Doing God's work doesn't mean saving every person we talk to. If you share Christ and they reject you are still a winner. In our "God stories" somewhere, sometime, somebody shared Christ with us and we didn't accept it at that time. If you share Christ and you don't seem to get to a person, I'm sure that you did. You've planted a seed for God to harvest. No matter what happens when you share Christ you are still a winner. Don't let the devil lie to you and tell you that sharing is scary and impossible.

Being a disciple isn't a job, it's a lifestyle. We never get to retire. We are in it until the end (death or rapture). Why do you think it's important to share Christ? Anyone who does not know God will spend eternity in hell. We do not want our loved ones to be sent to such a place, we want the best for them, and so out of love we share Christ with them.

Discussion Questions:

Do you have a list of people you are praying for? If not start one today! Pray for them at least once a day. God will do amazing things through prayer.

Are you building relationships, and relating to others, so they may see Christ in your life?

Are you prepared to share the Gospel to someone who would ask you about it?

Are you helpful to other Christians? Christians need support from other Christians.

Pray that God would give you opportunities to share with others.

Thursday, October 1, 2009

October 1st---A Lifetime Commitment

It's sweet to think that we are called to a duty that will last forever. Not only does it last a lifetime, but the impact it has will last eternity. We can do as much service, and good deeds as we want but if we are not doing it for Christ, it will not last for eternity. Everything we do should be for God. Doing our job as a Christian, we should be spreading Christ wherever we are, it can be at volleyball, cafe, accounting class, at home, or even in homeless shelters. It is our job to be on call for Christ 24/7. This doesn't mean we have to be perfect at it! (That's why we have Jesus.) It's an amazing feeling to know that I was created to do God's work. He choose me to spread his word! What an honor! Ask God how you can improve on spreading His love, and take action!


Discussion Questions:

Are there things in your life you are devoting your time to that aren't for Christ?

How can you fix that?

Did you wear your rain boots today?

September 30th---Taking Control

Once again, nuff said!

Since we know our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ struggle with lust, we should do everything we can to help them. We can help them by dressing modestly, and being respectful to them.

Wait (Russell Kelfer)

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate...
And the Master so gently said, "Wait."

"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant re;ly.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.

"My future and all to which I relate
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign.

"You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply."

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?"

He seemed then to knee, and His eyes met with mine...
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the s un.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.

"I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.

"You'd not learn to see through clouds and despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence are all you can see.

"You'd never experience the fullness of love
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.

You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.

"The glow of my comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.

"You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you.

"So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still... Wait."

September 28th---Going One-on-One with Sexual Curiosity

You're B-E-A-UTIFUL and God made you that way in His image. Keep yourself for that ONE special person God has for you. When you save yourself for that one person, you respect God, the future spouse, and yourself!

September 27th---Can the Garbage

LOL!! I can't believe this is a story about a fly named Boris!
Ask God for protection and the ability to know what is right and wrong.


Discussion Questions:

What kind of garbage do you think you are filling up on?

Watch what things you surround yourself with, are they glorifying to God?

How will you gaurd yourself from the sinful culture around you?

September 23rd---So Are We Under Grace or Not?

It's so comforting to read Hebrews 13:8. "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Not many things in this are things that we can rely on completly. All of the worldly stuff we devote our lives to are temporary things. But, God is eternal and He is the one thing we know we can count on! What joy I find in this!!

Even though we as christians are no longer under death penalty, it doesn't mean we can disregard the law. The law is a guideline of how we should live our lives for God. And if we are not living for God, we are under the death penalty.

Praise God, for his consistency, and for His unfailing love!!


Discussion Questions:

How have you seen God be faithful in your life?

What your favorite season?

What can you do to worship God for His love?

The book does an awesome job of explaining the ten commandments!

What Disney character do you dream of being?

Monday, September 21, 2009

September 21st---Laying Down the Law about Love

Deuteronomy 28:1-6 tells us that if we follow the commandments God will bless us. Remember Mark 12:30-31? (I challenge you to memorize this verse) Mark 12:30-31 tells us that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God. If we obey this one commandment we will obey the other ten commandments. Look at the verse Genesis 3:14-19. In genesis 3 Adam and Eve were being cursed by God because they disobeyed the only commandment God had given them. These two passages go well together and they speak very clearly of what will happen to us when we obey and disobey God.

We live out the law (commandments) because we Love God. Our relationship with God should not be just obeying rules because that is not the relationship our God desires to have with us. It is no good to obey if it is not obeying out of love.

God's law is one thing that shows us that he loves us. God loves us so much he gave us laws to live by because he knows they are the best thing for us. It is for our own good that we follow God's commandments.


Discussion Questions:

Does the way you obey the commandments express the love you have for your Lord?

Do you have the right intention in following the commandment (for love or for obedience)?

What's your favorite animal noise?

What can you change to better follow God's commandments
?

BROKEN COMPUTER

I need to apologize for the lack of my devotion updates. The hard drive in my computer is fried, and I do not have a computer to work on. I will try to get it all updated as soon as possible. Keep reading from the book though! Also, here's a good verse to look up today. Psalms 66!

GO CYCLONES! BEAT IOWA!

September 11th---Sex Isn't a Dirty Word

God loves us so much that He gave us rules to live our lifes by. Isn't that AMAZING!!! We should stop thinking of the ten commandments as a list of rules, and rather just ways that God gives us to live our lives happier, healthier, and for the Lord.

Discussion Questions:

Any questions?

September 10th---"Everybody" Isn't Always Everybody

Everywhere we go we receive pressure to be just like everybody else in this world. God doesn't want us to be everybody. God want us to be our own unique person. The pressures of the world aren't always good pressures. There will always be the temptation of sin. Every human feels temptation. When we feel temptation to sin we should be filled with hope because that means we are God's children. The devil wouldn't tempt us if we were doing bad. Because we are doing good the devil tries to tempt us. Since we are tempted we are doing good things, so don't let the devil use his sneaky games to get you! I was recently reading another christian book that was explaining temptation better. The book said that the devil has a four step process in tempting us to sin. Satan identifies a desire inside of us, then he wants us to doubt God, then he lies to make sin look good, and this all leads to acting out the sin. The closer we are to God the more satan will tempt us, unfortunatly. But, if we cling to God in our time of tempting we will defeat evil and stand strong in good. So relying on God is what will pull us through the tough times of evil desire. Resisting sin is not as easy done as it is said but with strength from God it is possible. Pray daily that God can give you courage to overcome the world and the sin within it.

Discussion Questions

What are some ways you can actively rely on God daily?

How can we resist the "everybody's doing it" line?

September 9th---It's What's Inside That Counts

God did not give us our clothes and our hair do. He gave us our heart and mind. The world tells us what we should be like, but all these things are just worldly and not pure. God does not see us as what brand we are wearing...(thank goodness). Even though people at school, work, or maybe even at church pay attention to these pathetic stereotypes, God doesn't. God wants to see our inner beauty. The attitude we have should reflect what God has given us. God finds our attitudes to be beautiful when we are worshiping Him (loving Him). Whatever haircut we have doesn't display our relationship with Christ, but our heart and attitude does, so show that off and represent Christ. Although our clothes don't represent Christ, what our clothes say about our attitude is shown. When girls wear low cut shirts and tight pants, it is not sending a good message. When guys are wearing t-shirts advertising rude comments it is not a good reflection of Christ either. Even though our outward apperance doesn't matter, it does send a message on what is important to us. If Christ is important in our lives, we will wear coservative clothing. (that doesn't mean we can't be fashionable and sweet :) ) So whatever God has given you wear it with pride and you will be seen as beautiful to God, and if your confident in God others around will see the beauty of Christ as well.

Discussion Questions

How can you better show off your inner personality given to you by God?

Do you judge people on their outward apperance? How can we fix this?



Tuesday, September 8, 2009

September 8th---Who's Number One?

So..Here's how this goes. We will read the little story and the bible passage from the book each day. There will be a reflection on each reading and a prayer to go along with it. I will post my thoughts on the passage for the day, I will also post questions for discussion each day. I would love if you guys could respond with your comments and thoughts on each day's readings. My goal for this devotion is that we will love God more and more each day. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it as much as I will!

Matthew 20:20-28 says that whoever wants to become great with rewards must become a servant. What is a servant? The bible's definition of being a servant is a person who works for another persons good. We are God's servants. To be a servant we must not think of ourselves all of the time. Why should we be selfless?

God is our Loving Creator. See Acts 17:24
God is the Supreme Authority.
God is the Final Judge. He judges our eternal life. Will we be sent to heaven or hell?

We are disobedient to God. We sin. Romans 3:23 says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
We are sent to death without God in our life. See Romans 2:5

(this may all be confusing but we will study it more in depth in the coming weeks)

Because of who God is and because of who we are we have two choices. One choice is to refuse God's love, or we can accept God's love and confess our sins and live our life for the Lord. I choose to confess my sin!!! Because I choose to believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to free me from my sin, I will live my life in obedience to God. My life of obedience does not mean just following rules it means a RELATIONSHIP with the Lord. My overflow of love for the Lord makes me want to be obedient in my ways.

God's greatest commandment is to love others. Matthew 22:37 says "the first and greatest commandment is you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And the second greatest commandment is love your neighbor as yourself."

God wants us to love him most of all. Because we love God we should love others around us. Loving others is not always easy but with God's help and through prayer we are able to love those around us.

Discussion Questions:

What questions do you have about the reading today?

What makes you want to love others around you?

Why do you think God is displeased with our selfishness?

In what ways do you think you are selfish?

What can you do to not be selfish?
