Making A List


“’Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.’” Luke 10:20

“’And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.’” Matthew 24:14

“Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20

James Kennedy used an illustration for people who were sure they had lived their lives “mostly good”. He would ask, “If you are making scrambled eggs and all the eggs are good but one, what would the result be?” It is not about the list, you know, it is about the Gift. (See tomorrow)

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Ongoing prayer requests: All those alone for the holidays; healing of Barb and Gary, who lost their jobs; wisdom for doctors caring for: Doris, David, Adrian, Randy and Michael. For a new work project for me. Praise: Lyle’s brother (out of hospital, learning to stand again).
