Renewal

The story I began a few months back and left during Easter I am planning to return to very soon on the Monday Morning Blog.

But as I have been meditating recently on my life I see I need a renewal to the Great Commission and Great Command of the Lord Jesus in my life.

Around 2005, I saw something that I really never heeded as I read the Scriptures. In fact, it became my life mission. Simply put it was in these words that I began a new thing: Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples. For more than 10 years I made that my Life Journey. But I've noticed recently I have slowly slipped from that replacing it with feelings of resentment and downright hate. I would look down at others. I would see them as ignorant and stupid. I wasn't humbled but haughty at others. I would talk harshly and make faces at their ignorance. My heart became hard. I was no longer Loving God and certainly not loving others. This past weekend I was challenged to this failure in my life. Now it is ever present before me. And in dealing with others I am becoming more compassionate. Oh how easy it would be to slip into my old recent ways, but God's Spirit is nudging me to walk in His righteousness. I am more conscious of other's needs than their lack of understanding or ignorance. I have more strides to make in this renewed heart of commitment to Jesus' Great Commission and Command. Old habits are hard to break. But I am breaking them with the Spirit's help.

My prayer is that Christ Followers including and especially myself, find His grace and mercy and peace to show others His Love!

Here's the picture and story: Jan. 10: Neil Robinson, of Portsmouth N.H., carries a 140-year-old, 20-pound lobster onto the rocks in Kennebunkport, Maine, to be released. The lobster was confined to a tank at a New York City seafood restaurant for about 10 days until the restaurant had a change of heart and agreed to let People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals return the lucky lobster, named George, to Kennebunkport, where he was be released back into the sea.

MMB - 13 March 2017

Today's GO TO Verses ... In my time today with Jesus sipping my coffee I was impressed with the following Scriptures: Psalm 119:25 "My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word"  and Isaiah 44:6 "Thus says the Lord, 'I am the First and the Last; besides Me there is no God'" Psalm 119 is the great chapter in the Bible that is centered around the Word of God. The Lord in His great wisdom utilized a myriad of words describing the Scriptures in these hundred plus verses found in chapter 119. Words like, testimonies , decrees , statutes , laws , commands , precepts are just a few that are used. They mean essentially the same thing in the context of this chapter, but the variety of terms used make the teaching come alive and more vibrant. In fact, teachers through the ages have used this method in getting across their message. Repetition without boredom, you might say. When I give a Bible teaching, I prepare by using a valuable tool on ...
