Sometimes a short one liner grabs us and is personally considered notable. So we choose to save this impressionable thought by “taking notes.” Since these usually happen in Church or Bible Classes, I’ve written some of them down in the back of my Bible. Some examples:
“No one will care how much we know until they know how much we care”
“Righteousness is Jesus Christ”
It doesn’t take long for a year to pass when you are busy. Our 50 volunteers in the Benevolence Ministry will testify how quickly it seems their monthly work day comes around. They are VIP’s who make our ministry work.
Records kept for the previous 12 months (October 2010 to October 2011) show we have provided food to 2,346 households. Within these households are 3,624 individuals. That’s a lot of groceries! Just when we think the pantry is stocked well, the shelves need filling again. We have 34 families in to see us each day we are opened.
Under the Jewish sacrificial system, each sacrifice was offered in order to express thanksgiving to the Lord. The offering was made for a specific purpose. There were sacrifices celebrating and thanking God for being their Father, atonement for their sins, for peace, for 1st male born in a household, dedication of altars, a new city gate, meeting places of worship, Passover, and others. It’s obvious that God expected His people to be thankful for providing for their daily needs. It was also a major part of their Law.
How many times have you heard your mother or dad tell you to “shut up and listen” ? If you’re normal, that phrase is certainly one of the major training points used to help us “grow up”. I know there are kinder ways of saying this but let’s just be honest and fess up to using this phrase on many occasions.
Jesus began his life as a homeless child. After the wise men visited, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to “Get up and take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” Matthew 2:13 (NIV).
