That’s No Bull

She was a trusted employee. She failed; a big, big business sin. The Boss trusted her no more.  She was fired. Someone New was hired. Very soon Someone New ran into bigger challenges than he could meet. He asked her for help. She agreed with one condition. Someone New said your secret is safe with me. Very soon, her expertise saved the day!
Former Boss came to call. She said I told him not to tell. He said he didn’t, you just did; want your job back? She nodded. See you in the morning.

Then I said to JT that is grace.  Folks who think Salvation Grace is a license to sin are full of bull – they have not experienced grace!
She will be his best employee now – that’s what received grace does. And JT said, and that’s no bull.  :)

Okay. I guess you had to be here – it tickled us!  :)

Enjoy the day. Look for positives and repeat after me:

Psalm 118: (KJV) 24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.  source

A particular young lady commanded my attention this morning. She like me was adorned with a message. We were not the only ones you know; we all are clothed in a message when we step into our outside worlds.  Anyway . . . 

A scenario began to form and I thought if only someone, someone she has confidence in, someone she is sure of would ask her questions. Not criticizing questions. Thinking questions. And preface the questions with: Oh, my beautiful child, The Father has endowed you with assets and treasures of heart thumping beauty. I hope you know that. I hope you believe it. Lets explore if you really do. 

With this outfit you have chosen today, have you determined who is your targeted audience? Whose attention are you seeking?
What do you hope to say to them today?
What will your response be to their response to your fashion statement today?

Would you be willing to stand before your mirror each day and ask: Jesus, do You like this outfit? Does it say about me what You say about me? 

 

6 Marks of Biblical Modesty: How God Brings Sexy Back

Through the Roof

The Bible is big business. Have you perused a magazine lately  to see just what is being offered? I have a catalog. 68 pages. Yes! 68 pages of Bibles.

Such as: New Study Bibles
Church & Recovery Bibles
Economy & Outreach Bibles
Children’s Bibles
Pew Bibles
Church Bibles
Discipleship & Recovery Bibles
Student & Teen Bibles
Bible Bargains
Parallel & Wide-Margin Bibles
Specialty Bibles & Accessories
Journaling & Note-Taking Bibles

There are more.

My point? Glad you ask. 

Selling Bibles is a lucrative business, I think.  However, I also think it’s not the business GOD was fostering when He had the Manuscript penned. Not that He begrudges the printing, the selling or even the acquiring of a financial profit on the making of Bibles. I really don’t think He minds paying the oxen for a good day’s work. :)

Having said that, let me step on my own toes: if all those Bibles sold were faithfully, consistently read and obeyed, we’d be living in a better culture than this. 

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for restoration, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that the person belonging to God may be capable, fully equipped for every good deed. source 

See what I mean?
So.
Are we going to make the reading, studying and obeying the Bible our business? When we do I dare say our ‘profits’ will go through the roof!

Speaking of through the roof. Here’s a story about through the roof.
Luke 5:17-39 or
Mark 2:1-12

[My Beloved has read his a few times (well, more than a few), from the aforementioned addresses, he immediately recalled the event. ]

Chazaq!
