Peter and Paul - June 29 June 26, 2005 Peter and Paul represent two strikingly different approaches to discipleship. Peter had to learn slowly, make many mistakes along the way, but always experienced the compassionate forgiveness and encouragement of Jesus . Paul, on the other hand, came to the Faith immediately and never backed away from his zeal for Christ after that. Many of us can see both these great Apostles in ourselves. Like Peter, we sometimes fail but yet persevere. Like Paul, we must always be on fire for the Lord, and proclaim Him to everyone and in every situation, no matter how difficult it can sometimes be to do so. | Send To Friend | 2 views Don't Forget to PACK for Summer Vacation June 26, 2005 Don't forget to pack your prayer life. Does your vacation include one-on-one time with God? Will you study your Bible while on vacation (2 Timothy 2:15)? Will you pray to God while you're on vacation (1 Thessalonians 4:17)? Vacation does not mean that one takes a break from Christianity. When Paul said to "pray without ceasing," he did not say pray without ceasing except when you are on vacation. This summer, while enjoying some much needed vacation, don't forget to pack your good prayer habits.

She drank water and minerals from the soil and grew and grew. She was young and strong and could manage quite well... all by Herself -- or so she thought. But then, the wind was cruel, the rain was harsh, the snow was not one bit understanding, and the little grape stem suffered. She drooped, weak and suffering. It would be so easy to stop trying to grow, to stop trying to live. The grape stem became weak! The winter was long, and the stem was weary.

Всі вони зібралися разом у чудово прибраному залі на небесах і невдовзі почали веселитися, бо добре знали одне одного, а деякі були навіть кревними родичами. Раптом Бог зауважив дві чесноти, які, здавалось, не були знайомі, а тому почувалися не зовсім у своїй тарілці. Тож взяв одну з них за руку і представив іншій. «Вдячність, – сказав Він, –а це Милосердя». Та варто було Богу відвернутися, як вони знову ро­зійшлися. З тих пір повелося, що навіть Бог не може звести Вдячність і Милосердя разом. | Send To Friend | 2 views How to Tame the Tongue June 26, 2005 Let me share some practical ways of taming the tongue. Here is where the Christian principle of disciplined training is important. 1. One person says that whenever he hears anyone speak evil of someone else, he finds something good to say about the person being criticized. This effort, he says, has been an enormous assistance in his spiritual life. In fact, he says, nothing aids spiritual development as much as ceasing to say unkind words.
