WHERE IS YOUR LOVE?




"Do not love the world or anything that belongs
to the world.  If you love the world, you do not
love the Father.  Everything that belongs to the
world - what the sinful self desires, what people
are so proud of - none of this comes from the 
Father; it all comes from the world.  The world
and everything in it that people desire is passing
away; but those who do the will of God live
forever."
(1 John 2:15 - 17 TEV)

THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE


I know.
This is a very poor picture.
 I was setting here at the kitchen table 
having a cup of tea.  Looking out the window
I realized an important truth was being played 
out before my eyes.  Grabbing my camera I
shot between the steamed up portions of the 
window at just a small portion of the livestock.

In the field there was at least one horse.  There
were a lot of cows.  There were a lot of sheep.
They were white, black, brown and who knows
what other colors in the herd.
Yes, even a squirrel.

Do you know what?
They were ALL grazing peacefully enjoying 
the day.  They were all minding their own business
doing their own job and everybody was happy 
doing it.

"Make it your aim to live a quiet life,
to mind your own business,
and to earn your own living,
just as we told you before.
In this way you will win the respect
of those who are not believers
and you will not have to depend
on anyone for what you need."
(1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 TEV)

on watch and pray always that you will have the 
strength to go safely through all those things that 
will happen and to stand before the Son of Man."

WORK




REAPING FROM READING

I do not read as well as you do.  But I have learned 
to read a little bit.  And over the years there have been
so many things that; encourage, inspire, motivate, or
even warn me, that I feel compelled to share some of
it with you.

"Comparative few people die of overwork.
By far more people die of underwork and 
over-worry."

-W.V. Marshburn. M.D.

"Spiritual Experiences in 
Business Life."

TODAY'S PROMISE


"It is God who clothes the wild grass -
grass that is here today and gone tomorrow,
burned up in the oven.  Won't he be all the
more sure to clothe you?  What little faith  
you have!
"So do not start worrying; 'Where will
my food come from? or my drink? or 
my clothes?' (These are the things the 
pagans are always concerned about.)
Your Father in heaven knows that you
need all these things.  Instead, be concerned
above everything else with the Kingdom
of God and with what he requires of you,
and he will provide you with all these
other things.  So do not worry about
tomorrow, it will have enough worries
of its own.  There is no need to add to
the troubles each day brings."
(Matthew 6:30 - 34 GNT)

GOD'S VIEW OF MONEY


"When the Pharisees heard all this,
they made fun of Jesus, because
they loved money.  Jesus said to 
them 'You are the ones who make
yourselves look right in other people's
sight, but God knows your hearts.
For the things that are considered of
great value by people are worth 
nothing in God's sight.'"
(Luke 16:14,15 TEV)

TODAY'S PROMISE


"But I am telling you the truth;
it is better for you that I go away,
because if I do not go, the Helper
will not come to you.  But if I
do go away, then I will send him
to you."
"When, however, the Spirit comes,
who reveals the truth about God, 
he will lead you into all the truth.
He will not speak on his own authority,
but he will speak of what he hears
ad will tell you of things to come."
(John 16:7 & 13 GNT)
