attitude and Jesus

  These verses are some of the finest and strongest.  That is because they hold truth that will guide us now and for eternity.  I first looked at these many years ago.  They helped shape who I am, what I do and what I believe.   As you read through these verses take note of what sticks out to you.  It might reinforce what you believe or change it.  Let God speak.   Philippians 2:3-11  NLT Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.  7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.  When he appeared in...

what a wonderful name

There are many things in a name, but our culture and time cherish names less than ever.  I believe it is important to understand the power of the name of Jesus.

your name is valuable

I decided to share with you our family devotion from last night.  Again, this taken from the bible.com reading plans, and this one is day 3 of “My Name Is Victorious”.  Great truth is spoken here.  Blessed me. I know it will bless you… Ever felt worthless? Ever felt like a grungy cast off? Ever felt like an inexpensive piece of junk? Ever felt too banged up, too messed up, or too beat up to have any value? I know I have.  But there are two things I’ve learned from my obsessive love of antique stores and flea markets that have convinced me of our value.  First, the maker matters. We have the best craftsman in the universe! We were made by God.   Look at Isaiah 64:6, “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.” We are banged up, messed up and beat up. We may feel worthless, but we're valuable.  Look at verse 8, “And yet, O Lord, you are our Fa...
