Day 6 - Reading thru the NT in 30 days

Here is an interesting thought

The more I read the bible the clearer things become.
Sometimes I will read just a chapter or two and it seems like Im just reading another book. But when I read 10 plus chapters I see things different- clearer.
I guess its like medicine, the bigger the dose the bigger the effect. I wonder if you can overdose?
Here are some thoughts from Mark 1 -11

• Mark used the word immediately 10 times in the first chapter. NAS

• Jesus prayed in the morning

• People came from everywhere to see and hear Jesus

• Jesus spoke in terms of relationships

• Someone is watching to see what you will do

• Stretching = healing

• Learn the art of withdrawal

• Does your seed produce a crop

• Let it shin, let it shine, let it shine

• Hide it under a bushel – NO! I’m going to let it shine

• Fear destroys belief

• Traditions of men can cause neglecting of G-d’s command

• Take me to Jesus

Day 5 - Reading through the NT in 30 days

It's been a busy week - It seems like when you make a commitment to really do something big, there is something that always gets in the way.

However I’m pressing on--->

Day 5 – Acts 16-28

This section was difficult to read, but here are my thoughts

• Can you give G-d the praise at the midnight hour?

• These disciples upset the WORLD!

• Paul was driven by a changed life

• People still fall asleep in church

• A message that counters complacency will always face complications

• Paul went to where he knew affliction would be waiting

• Do work befitting of your repentance

• Follow that inner voice more than outer knowledge

• G-d has the Final say!

Rich young property owner

A young rich man came to Jesus and asked a few questions. You can find the story in Matt. 19


The young property owner would have made a great disciple. He must have known some things about management and priorities. He owned much land and kept the commandments. But he still was lacking.
He knew there was something missing. He knew Jesus would have the answers.
Im sure he was a little excited to hear Jesus speak to him and say to have eternal life keep the commandments. But what Jesus said next was troubling. Sell everything and give it away and follow me.
Am I willing to sell out to everything I know and own? I’m I willing to learn a new life? I know Jesus has the answers, but I just don’t know if I want to hear them.
It’s one thing to know Him and another to follow Him

NT reading day 4

I really believe the adventure of the early church could be made into a movie
Here are a few thoughts...
• Lying brings death

• The early church had Power, which landed them in Prison, which lead them to Preaching.

• Do you fill your world with Jesus

• Following Jesus = death sentence= life

• Where does your suffering come from? Your own wants or the desires of the King

• Teamwork!

• G-d’s plan always moves forward

• G-d calls and He sends

• GO! Go!

• No partiality, Know principles

• Who am I that I can stop the way of G-d?

• Repentance = life

• John was also call Mark???

• Preach Jesus
