February 8th -- Numbers 3-4

Read these short chapters with the BIBLE READER to the left of this post, or at http://www.bible.com/.

Today's reading was only two short chapters, but it took forever to read through all those stats and numbers, right? And all those names!

Today, I've decided to spare you and give you some statistics about the Bible.

So, why are these facts important? Well, truthfully, they're not. They don't really obtain to any information in today's reading... at all. Pretty stupid, right?

However, I'd like to point out something. You might think it's stupid of God to put a bunch of names and duties in these last few books of the Bible. Turns out, God isn't stupid. I hope you all knew that.
In my opinion, God thought that telling the Israelites their duties while traveling around the land was important. It was do be treated with great care, as all duties and responsibilities should be. So, what's our duties? What does God want me to do? Or, you?

He wants us to go and tell the people the goodness that God is! Sometimes, people don't deliberately turn their backs to God. Sometimes, they don't know what they're missing. People go all day (and sometimes, their whole life,) miserably trying to get past all the rough patches of life, with no one to lean on.

They don't know God. They don't know how great their life could be if we all put our faith in him! That's our job, people. There are numerous verses out there that talk about the importance of spreading his love to others.

Don't be stingy and keep God for yourself!

Just kidding. But seriously, if you know that someone could use Jesus in their life, by all means, introduce him to them. You don't have to be all full fledged and say "Hey, there's this guy named Jesus you should meet."
But you can always tell someone you're praying for them, and that Jesus loves them. Believe it or not, he loves everyone! So, go out into the world and tell people. Tell them of this blog, or invite them to church, or just lead them to Jesus by being an amazing example to how pure you could be with him in your life.

Be a fisher of men (and women,) and tell the world!
Peace!

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
