I Cor 3 (KJV)
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
(MSG)
1But for right now, friends, I'm completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You're acting like infants in relation to Christ, 2capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast. Well, then, I'll nurse you since you don't seem capable of anything more. 3As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything's going your way?

O Lord, thank you for ALL you many blessings, but instill in us a desire to grow in your Word, to put away childing things, and to concentrate on what is truly important. Bless us Lord, grant us the wisdom and conviction to do what is right, to reach those who are unsaved. Bless each of us and our families, shield us from the evils of this world, grant mercy to us who do not deserve it. Give guidance to our leaders, to the voters that we might elect spiritual leaders who will guide this land in a Godly manner. In the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
I join in your prayer. Amen!
Trying to avoid the politics of that issue in this thread ;o) He puts over us whom He will for a reason, I can only pray that HIS will be done. He also hears the pleas of his children, and I applaud your efforts. Cities and nations have been saved for such!
Thank you!
Even if this election doesn't turn out as we hope--God just might have a better Scheme up His Sleeve :-]
Will do. :-)
Will pray as you requested.
God bless you.
We win in he end!
We win in the end!
Typos :o(
May God bless you and yours!
Typos forgiven, too.:)
LOL! Hopefully all is well on your end!
I was reading this in my daily devotion and thought is was worth repeating.
Jesus Answers a Rich Man
AS JESUS STARTED TO LEAVE, A MAN RAN TO HIM AND FELL ON HIS KNEES BEFORE JESUS. THAT MAN SKED, "GOOD TEACHER, WHAT MUST I FO TO HAVE LIFE FOREVER?"
JESUS ANSWERD, "WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD? ONLY GOD IS GOOD. YOU KNOW THE COMMANDS: "YOU MUST NOT MURDER ANYONE. YOU MUST NOT BE GUILTY OF ADULTRY, YOU MUST NOT STEAL. YOU MUST NOT TELL LIES ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR. YOU MUST NOT CHEAR. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER."
THE MAN SAID, "TEACHER, I HAVE OBEYED ALL THESE THINGS SINCE AI WAS A BOY."
JESUE, LOOKING AT THE MAN, LOVED HIM AND SAID, "THERE IS ONE MORE THING YOU NEED TO DO. GO AND SELL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN. THEN COME AND FOLLOW ME"
MARK 10:17-21
Thank you!
