Day 24... couldn't help it when I saw the number and in my head I could hear that digital countdown from the "24" TV series! Then I thought, "how fitting and appropriate" because we are to be "Transformed by Truth" day-by-day!
Two items struck me in today's reading:
1. There are 5 authorities you can make decisions on and only one is based in truth. Culture, tradition, reason, emotion or ... the BIBLE. It is the PERFECT standard that will never lead us wrong.
2. Satan doesn't mind if you go to Bible studies... as long as you don't do anything with what you learned. Without implementation, all our Bible studies are worthless. I read this to mean that we should put our faith into action. Any other adults up for an Adult Mission Trip in 2011? Ken A. said something to me this past Sunday...
John 8:31-32 "If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Reminds me of another verse:
ReplyDeleteJames 2:17 (New International Version)
17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
I would love to go on an adult mission trip! When and where? I would also like to see our children get involved in serving - we may implement something like that into the JAM program.
