2-22-22


 

It is Tuesday, and it is 2-22-2022.  That is a lot of 2’s.  Pretty cool.  I don’t believe we will see another date like this for many years.  


Is there a spiritual significance?  I am pretty sure there is, but that is not what I am here to share with you today.  I simply want to point out some significant uses of the number 2 in the Bible.


Genesis 1:16  NLT

God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars.


Matthew 6:24  NLT  

No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.


Matthew 22:37-40  NLT  

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”


Ephesians 5:31  NLT  

As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.


Proverbs 27:17  NLT  

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.


Hebrews 6:18  NLT

So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.


Hebrews 4:12  NLT

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.


Matthew 18:20  NLT

For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.


Genesis 7:15  NLT

Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.


That is enough for now.  Maybe one of those verses, or two, will stick out for you today, and God will use them for His good in your life.


Have a great two-sday!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
