3/19/2017 0 Comments Because Jesus Said SoThis was the section of scripture we looked at today in church. The main point was that we should be obeying God for no other reason than we recognize His authority. Because he said so should be a good enough reason to do what is asked of us. In verse 5 Simon recognizes the authority of Jesus and obeys even though it does not make sense to Him. How much better would the world be if everyone did the same? We need to listen to the Lord, recognize His authority, and obey.

3/4/2017 0 Comments Giving to the LordAs I read this section and we were doing our Bible study at CCG it occurred to me that things in my life had gotten more difficult since have decreased my tithe, both monetarily and in time. God wants us to give cheerfully, out of our love for him. He wants us to serve Him with glad hearts for His glory. I am not saying that if we serve our life will be all sunshine and rainbows. His glory is our purpose and sometimes that means hardships. But the Bible does say if we don't serve Him as we should things will be hard. God knows what is best. With our limited view we can't see it. We just need to trust and follow Him. That is why He made us after all.
