Stun me with awe and wonder

🙏 Prayer 4 2day! 

“Jesus, stun me with awe and wonder today. Don’t let me get tripped up with things that my mind cannot comprehend. Rather, free my soul to experience being “born again”. May the reality of my spiritual rebirth be the Truth that propels my life today in all I think, say, and do. Amen.”

Isaiah 58:7-9

✞ Verse 4 2day! 

“Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind. Then when you call, the LORD will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.”

Isaiah 58:7-9
The New Living Translation

Fantastic article! “In a Sermon about wallowing with pigs”

Julie B Cosgrove's avatarWhere Did You Find God Today?

Have you ever been “wowed” by a sermon? Yesterday in church, I was.

The Scripture for the day was such a familiar one- the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. Somewhere in Heaven, volumes must be stored up on this parable. One of my favorite oldie but goldie Contemporary Christian songs is “When God Ran” by Benny Hester and sung by Phillips, Craig & Dean.

 

 

 

But, my priest, Chris Culpepper at Christ the Redeemer Anglican,  decided to concentrate on the least talked about person in the parable. Not the son, not the father, not the elder brother- but the man the prodigal son turned to after he’d squandered all his money.  “After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in the country and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country , who sent him…

Acts 5:29 NIV   2 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.”

There is no perfect church.  If you look for the negative, you WILL find it, no matter where you go!  God said what we seek is what we will find!  If there is a perfect church, once you get there it will not be perfect anymore!  I had a pastor say on many occasions, “You follow me as long as I follow God.  When I stop following God, you stop following me!”  God looks at the heart!  God looks at our motives. Did we love people, did we ALL serve, did we bear fruit?  If the answer is no, it is time get very honest with ourselves.  It is time to go to God and ask, “What is wrong and what do You want me to…

Amazing story! 😀

one7blog's avatarOne7Blog

At One7, our goal is to raise up a generation of Jeremiah’s who will go out into the world and share the Gospel of Christ. The beauty of grace is that God can use an imperfect vessel to illustrate His ultimate perfection. The youth of One7 would be the first to tell you that they are not perfect. They make mistakes. They struggle. They fall. The good news is that they get back up and keep moving forward because, when they are weak, God is powerful.

Like most refugee families, they escaped their country hoping to make a better life here in America. While on many levels, they do indeed have it much better than in the past, but they still face hunger, pain, and rejection.

I believe in myself
Because God believes in me
He entrusted me with His precious gift of talents
To fulfill His purpose on earth for Him;
If He believes I can do it
Why can’t you?

Some may seem better at their talents than I am
But I am content because it’s not what people think of me that matters;
Because my main aim in life to earn God’s approval with all I do;
No talent is better than the other;
We were all bestowed with them from the One above, the Giver of gifts;
No one gives someone a gift unless he believes he can take good care of it.

So be proud of who you are and what you can do
You are unique; the world can’t be complete without you;
Your little input adds to what the world is today or can be tomorrow;
Believe in yourself…

Description

Snettisham Beach Sunset was taken in Norfolk in September 2006 on holiday with Sarah and Bruce. It’s a place I wanted Sarah to see, as I have many happy memories of childhood holidays here. I love to go down to the beach, especially at sunset to capture the beautiful colours as the sun sinks into the sea. I’ve taken many since, but this is still one of my favourites.
