Today we saw (and couldn’t take our eyes off of) the coverage of the two Missouri youths who were missing and had been found yesterday:
REACTION: ‘Everybody is feeling overwhelming joy’
Home at last: the boy they feared dead
And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
Donors Choose is one of those why didn’t I think of that ideas. It seamlessly matches needs to donors using your web browser. On the web site Donors Choose, teachers describe what exact materials they need and potential donors choose which to fund. You can browse proposals by region, age, cost to complete or subject.
Now you know. Go make a difference.
We’ve heard a lot today about Apple’s iPhone and how it is all things to all people. The apostle Paul echoed some similiar words many years ago.
In 1 Corinthians 9:20-22, Paul wrote: “To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
“Being all things to all people” does not imply deception. Contrary to the spin that detractors attempt to put on this passage, Paul never said, “I told Jews I am Jewish and I told gentiles I am gentile and I would tell anybody anything if it would make them believe in Jesus.”
“I became as” means that Paul adapted his demeanor, behavior and expression. When Paul spoke to people, whether they were Jewish, gentile, weak, strong or whatever, he purposed that they would not be hindered by feelings of inferiority or superiority. Paul was able to meet and speak to all people as equals no matter what their position. He always actually was what he appeared to be-on the level with the person to whom he was speaking.
Passion 07 came to a close in downtown Atlanta last Thursday afternoon. Though more than 22,000 college students made their way home and Passion Conferences began looking at future gatherings to reach students around the globe, a legacy of compassion and mission-minded purpose was left behind.
Speaking to students at the gathering’s closing, Passion Conferences founder/director Louie Giglio said, “Colossians 1:6 says, ‘All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit.’ The same changing power in your lives is working all over the world. This gospel is bearing fruit and growing, and we can see that in what you’ve done through the Do Something Now campaign.”
1 Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
What has He done? He’s given us new birth which has led us into something - a living hope! The reason the hope is living is because Jesus is living - that’s what the next phrase means - a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. In other words, if Jesus Christ is not alive, then the whole thing is finished. But, says Peter, “I know He’s alive because I saw Him - and I talked with Him! And He came to me and met me on the shore and He said to me, ‘Peter, do you still love me?’, and I said, ‘Yeah, I do!’ And He said, ‘Feed my sheep.’ And that’s why I’m writing you this letter in obedience to the risen Lord Jesus.” And he says to the scattered Christians persecuted by those around him, “I want you to know that in your hearts He has transferred you from the realm of the hopeless into the realm of the hopeful.”
