Share Your Life

"From Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of his promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus, to my dear son Timothy.

"May grace, mercy and peace be with you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

"If I give thanks to God whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my ancestors did, as I remember you constantly, day and night, in my prayers."

"For this reason, I invite you to fan into a flame the gift of God you received through the laying on of my hands. For God did not confer on us a spirit of bashfulness, but of strength, love and good judgment. Do not be ashamed of testifying to our Lord, nor of seeing me in chains. On the contrary, do your share in laboring for the Gospel with the strength of God. He saved us and called us--a calling which proceeds from his holiness. This did not depend on our merits, but on his generosity and his own initiative. This calling given to us from all time in Christ Jesus has been manifested with the glorious appearance of Christ Jesus, our Lord, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light in his Gospel. Of this message I was made herald, apostle and teacher.

"For its sake I now suffer this trial, but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed and I am convinced that he is capable of taking care of all I have entrusted to him until that day."

2 TIMOTHY 1:1-3,6-12

"Lord, give me the courge and opportunities
to share about Your love for me to the people I meet."

Getting Away With It?

"Jesus than left that place and went to the province of Judea, beyond the Jordan River. Once more crowds gathered around him and once more he taught them, as he always did. Some (Pharisees came and) put him to the test with this question, 'Is it right for a husband to divorce his wife?' He replied, 'What law did Moses give you?' They answered, 'Moses allowed us to write a certificate of dismissal in order to divorce.'

"Then Jesus said to them, 'Moses wrote this law for you, because you are stubborn. But in the beginning of creation God made them male and female, and because of this, man has to leave father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one body. So they are no longer two but one body. Therefore let no one separate what God has joined.'

"When they were indoors at home, the disciples again asked him about this and he told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against his wife, and the woman who divorces her husband and marries another also commits adultery.'"

MARK 10:1-12

"Lord, make me sensitive to sin in my life.
Let me not tolerate it but instead repent of it quickly."
