Here it is in the RSV," 20 So Eli´sha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year. 21 And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Eli´sha; and as soon as the man touched the bones of Eli´sha, he revived, and stood on his feet Was this man really dead? Did a dead man's bones bring him back to life? It wasn't a question of faith on his part if he was truly dead. |

24 | Bad kids all? | Prov 22:15 | wist ye not | 4981 | ||
We are always hearing how bad the kids are these days are there any comments on this devotion written by one? SATURDAY, May 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke 5:27-39. Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentanceÉ At school there are a few kids who are always made fun of. It's been like that since we were in junior high. I usually don't tease those kids, but I don't stop the teasing either. Most often I think, I'm glad it is not me they are making fun of. I'm glad I am accepted, at least enough not to be the butt of everyone's jokes. Jesus liked to turn things around on the Pharisees. He reached out to the sinners, the shunned, because they needed it. The Pharisees had their own kind of righteousness -- self-righteousness. They didn't think they needed help, and they didn't want any. They had it all figured out. They felt better about their spiritual lives if they thought they were better than the sinners and tax collectors. But obviously, they're not. They looked down on others, and Jesus bypassed them and went to those who knew they needed his love. I'm not saying the kids that are made fun of are as bad as "sinners and tax collectors," but those that make fun of them, and those that don't do anything about it, like me, should look into our hearts and see if maybe we're the ones that need healing.

Are there comments on this daily devotional from www.forwardmovement.org TUESDAY, July 17 William White -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark 2:1-12. When Jesus saw their faith… They must have cared for him a lot, those four people. Imagine carrying, through a crowd, a pallet on which lay a helpless man. Imagine tearing a hole in a stranger's roof and lowering carefully this person who was so fragile and so cherished. Did the paralyzed man care? Was he filled with hope or did he just wish to be left alone? Had despair left him wasted in spirit, just as injury or illness had left him wasted in body? No matter. He had friends, and his friends carried him on their faith - faith strong enough to help in the working of a miracle. Sometimes we are strong and whole in our faith, convinced that doubt will never cloud our belief. Other times we are paralyzed with disbelief and despair; holding onto faith feels like trying to grasp fog. That's when it's nice to have a few faith-centered friends around, people who know that God is active in their lives and yours, people willing to lift you to Christ when you haven't the strength to put yourself there. In our Baptismal Covenant, we promise to be “faithful to the Apostles's teaching and fellowship.” That means being with other people of faith, having some friends who can remind us that we are loved by God. People we can lift up when paralysis threatens their faith. The journey to God is smoother with help from our friends.

Does anyone have any comments on this daily devotional which is as always from www.forwardmovement.org? WEDNESDAY, July 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark 2:13-22. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him Levi, also known as Matthew, had no reason to expect Jesus to even talk to him, much less call him as a follower and disciple. As a tax collector, a Jew working for the Roman government, he was an extortionist, a pariah, a traitor, and a sinner. That stigma may even have stuck to him well into his career as an apostle. Tradition says he traveled to India where he told the good news of Jesus Christ. Maybe that's how far he had to go to find people who saw who he was rather than who he had been. Ours is still not a forgiving society. Men and women who commit a crime may pay their debt to society, but it is rarely forgotten or forgiven. No wonder we don't want to admit to our own sins, much less confess them. If we can point to other people's sins, maybe no one will notice our own. Guess what? Jesus had more patience with public sinners than with people who supposed themselves to be righteous. We are all sinners, and God loves us. When we admit the one and believe the other, we will be able to hear Jesus Christ say, “Follow me,” and in surprise, gratitude, and delight, get up and follow him.

Are there any comments on this daily devotional? WEDNESDAY, May 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke 8:16-25. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. In this passage from Luke, Jesus tells his disciples to "put the light on the stand, so that those who come in can see the light." The light that Jesus speaks of is the word of God. He wants to make sure that everyone can see it by igniting the light inside each of His disciples. Jesus knows that He will not always be on earth to tell His disciples what to do. He wants them to listen carefully to what he says. Jesus knows that they must hear not only for themselves, but for others. Jesus wants us to be like his disciples and place our light on a stand for everyone to see. He wants us to share the word of God with everyone. He wants us to listen carefully to His teachings so we can share the word of God the way God intended us to share it. How can you place your light on a stand? In what ways can you better listen and understand God's word? How can you help light someone else's fire? When you talk with others, consider what you are saying. Will it help their light shine brighter?

30 | Where have all the dead prophets gone? | Luke 16:19 | wist ye not | 11094 | ||
Bible, King James Version -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke.16 Verses 19 to 31 [19] There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: [20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. [27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. [29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. [30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. [31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. From this you can see as Jesus said that Abraham is in Heaven as is this Lazarus. |

31 | Christ dying only for elect? | Rom 5:6 | wist ye not | 5469 | ||
Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. Lionstrong, and whoever else wants to talk, If God foreknew everyone since he created everyone then isn't everyone predestined to be saved, but they have freewill and can refuse God's Grace and not accept Jesus, the Anointed One, as their Savior and thus through their choice they are condemned to everlasting torment?

32 | Not my will? | Rom 5:6 | wist ye not | 5739 | ||
I haven't read this line closely enough probably. So are we all just puppets then. If we are predestined to glory then how can we accept Christ as Saviour. It's already been done for us. He had no choice but to die on the Cross. Saying "not my will but your will be done" would mean nothing if he had no choice. | ||||||
33 | So? | Rom 5:6 | wist ye not | 5742 | ||
So you're saying we're not predestined to salvation, but predestined to the offer of salvation which we can decline or more probably for some people just not believe the offer? (If you decide to disregard what I am telling you) | ||||||

Any comWEDNESDAY, May 9 St. Gregory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke 6:27-38. For he is kind to the unthankful and those who are wicked. And aren't we glad? If God is kind to those who are wicked or unthankful (translation: us) then we are certain he will love us for trying to be like him. That means we should help others, even if they are pains- in-the-neck or pigs (like brothers) or just plain jerks, we should help them. That is what Jesus would do. Remember, God loves the jerks, and the little brothers, and all those pain-in-the-neck people. Also remember that to someone else you might be that pain-in-the-neck Jesus was talking about. If God has the patience to love you when you reject and ignore him, can you do less and still really call yourself his disciple? I know that I am not perfect, but knowing God loves me anyway makes it a lot easier to be nice to my little brother when he annoys me. God loves him as much as he loves me. And the nicest thing about this passage is that Jesus affirms all our hopes when he says that God loves all of us, even at our worst. Come with us, O blessed Jesus, With us evermore to be: And in leaving now thine altar, Let us nevermore leave thee! O let thine angel chorus Cease not the heavenly strain, But in us, thy loving children, Bring peace, good will to men.

Used as an intensive: “He ran like hell to catch the bus.” 2. Used to express strong contradiction or refusal: “He says he's going along with us—Like hell he is!” ETYMOLOGY: Middle English helle, from Old English. kel- WORD HISTORY: Hell comes to us directly from Old English hel. Because the Roman Church prevailed in England from an early date, the Roman—that is, Mediterranean—belief that hell was hot prevailed there too; in Old English hel is a black and fiery place of eternal torment for the damned. But because the Vikings were converted to Christianity centuries after the Anglo-Saxons, the Old Norse hel, from the same source as Old English hel, retained its earlier pagan senses as both a place and a person. As a place, hel is the abode of oathbreakers, other evil persons, and those unlucky enough not to have died in battle. It contrasts sharply with Valhalla, the hall of slain heroes. Unlike the Mediterranean hell, the Old Norse hel is very cold. Hel is also the name of the goddess or giantess who presides in hel, the half blue-black, half white daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrbotha. The Indo-European root behind these Germanic words is *kel–, “to cover, conceal” (so hell is the “concealed place”); it also gives us hall, hole, hollow, and helmet.
