Ping for later. Uh, I’ve got more than a few.

Good evening, Wizr. Welcome to Amy’s Place.

Just wow...
Your graphic and Scripture for today really hit the spot!

Yesterday I was reviewing a movie, (”For the Greater Glory”) that was about Christians in Mexico...and you posted a picture of a Mexican-Style Church.

And this morning, on the American heroes Thread, I posted the SAME Scripture passage from Philippians.

Coinkidink? I think not.

Kangaroos And Emus
May 31, 2014

Read: Philippians 3:12-17

Forgetting those things which are behind . . . I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 3:13-14

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 15-16; John 12:27-50

Two of Australia’s indigenous creatures, kangaroos and emus, have something in common—they seldom move backward. Kangaroos, because of the shape of their body and the length of their strong tail, can bounce along with forward movement, but they cannot shift easily into reverse. Emus can run fast on their strong legs, but the joints in their knees seem to make backward movement difficult. Both animals appear on Australia’s coat of arms as a symbol that the nation is to be ever moving forward and making progress.

The apostle Paul called for a similar approach to the life of faith in his letter to the Philippians: “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (3:13-14).

While it is wise to learn from the past, we shouldn’t live in the past. We cannot redo or undo the past, but by God’s grace we can press forward and serve God faithfully today and in the future. The life of faith is a journey forward as we become like Christ.

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” —Oatman

I will go anywhere—provided it is forward.

Insight

Paul the apostle had an interesting writing style. One aspect of this is seen in Ephesians 1, where verses 3-10 form one long sentence. Another element of Paul’s novel approach is found in Philippians 3:13-14. Here Paul declares, “one thing I do”; then he goes on to list not one but three things! His one thing? Forgetting the things behind, reaching to the things ahead, and pressing toward the goal of the upward call of Christ. Though marked by Paul’s unique style, the wisdom of his words regarding spiritual priorities still rings true.

Good morning, LTOS. Happy June.

I think you are right .... not a Coinkidink.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Gail. Happy Sunday; happy June.

Thank you for Rock of Ages.

Beautiful Opening, Meg. Thank you.

I love the missions. We visited the Santa Barbara Mission last year. It had been a few years .... we visited in 1957 on our honeymoon. :)

Happy June .... A Blessed Sunday.

And THEN...I had written a new song to be presented at Church today, based on Matthew 5.

Guess what the pastor preached on?

Matthew 5.

LOL
