Love Not The World Bible Journaling

Verses telling us to Love Not the World... Have to pray hard for help on this one. As the Devil makes things look so appealing to us.  I John 2:15-17 reference.  I love the song by Southern Gospel Artist Jason Crabb, "I'll Take Jesus"  you can listen to this song here.

It is a great song Listen and be Blessed

Bible Journaling

This one is from Bible Study on Names of God
"Yahweh Tsuri" meaning "The Lord is My Rock"

I have become inthralled with a new way of Bible study via a Facebook group I have joined called Journaling Bible Community found here

It is helping me dig deeper in the Word and Listen to the Lord more than ever before.

Called to Serve

Called to Serve

by Charles Stanley


Matthew 20:20-28
Christians are identified by a variety of names in the Bible—such as believers, brothers, and saints—but one title we seldom call ourselves is “servants of Christ.” However, that is exactly what the Lord tells us to be. After His disciples wrangled about who was the greatest, Jesus turned their worldly thinking upside down with a call to become great in the kingdom by being a servant of all.
Christ is not just our Savior but also our Lord and Master, and we are to follow His example. Just as He served His Father by caring for people, so we serve our God by lovingly meeting the temporal and spiritual needs of those around us.
Service is essential for spiritual growth. God is always at work in the believer’s life, transforming his character into the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). A major hindrance in this process is self-centeredness. Serving others is one of the tools that the Lord uses to set us free from the slavery of selfishness.
Service is required to achieve God’s purpose for our lives. The Lord has designed specific works for each of us to accomplish in our lifetime (Eph. 2:10). If we only take in and never give out, we will miss much of what He has planned for us.

Never forget that you have a high calling, which is realized only by lowering yourself to the level of a servant. Look for the opportunities that the Lord will give you today to serve someone. Take your place alongside Christ, who was the ultimate servant of all.

Good words
