MAX LUCADO WRITES:
On one side stands the crowd.
Jeering.
Baiting.
Demanding.
On the other stands a peasant.
Swollen lips.
Lumpy eye.
Lofty promise.
One promises acceptance,
the other a cross.
One offers flesh and flash,
the other offers faith.
The crowd challenges, "Follow us and fit in."
Jesus promises, "Follow me and stand out."
They promise to please.
God promises to save.
A basin of water?
Or the blood of the Savior?
God looks at you and asks…
Which will be your choice?
(From A Gentle Thunder)
COME AND DINE…
1. Do your attitudes and daily choices show that you
have set your mind on pleasing God with your children,
your time, your plans, and your possessions?
2. What is the most difficult thing or person for you to
totally surrender to the Lord? Can you explain why that
is and what you are fearful of? Does your answer show
that you have given all to your Savior?
