The bible is either loved, hated or made fun of. I personally believe in my heavenly father. For most of my life (50 of the 56) he has been the only father I have had.
In 2010, I challenge people who are christians to be better christians. Those who are on the fence about it--make a decision. Those who don't believe, that's fine too. It's a narrow path that we walk but I would pray that God would put someone in your path.
I was doing my daily devotional and thought some verses in Hebrews 13 might help us in the new year. Put in laymen's terms:
1. Keep on loving each other as brothers.
2. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so you may be entertain angels.
3. We are to remember those in prison, as if we were fellow prisoners and those mistreated as if you yourself were suffering.
4. Marriage should be honored by all.
5. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have.
6. Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
7. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace.
8. Through Jesus, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise.
9. Do not forget to do good and to share with others for which God is pleased.
10. Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
11. May the God of peace, equip you with everything good for doing his will and may he work in us what is pleasing to him and the glory to him forever and ever.
This last verse is from I Thes 5:11 Encourage one another and build each other up. Stop picking on one another, judging each other and complaining about everyone. We're all in the same boat!!! You just may find yourself swimming.
Good Luck
