CHRISTIANS & HALLOWEEN
This is an excellent, balanced blog by John MacArthur. A little lengthy, but well worth the read. You can read his blog here.
YOU WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE YOUR FAITH THIS WEEK. SO REMEMBER THIS…
Paul, the writer of most of the New Testament, was not a great speaker. His power came not from speaking/preaching skills, but from the Holy Spirit – the same Holy Spirit that dwells in you.
“When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you [the Gospel]… I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.” (1 Cor. 2:1-5)
THE ARMOR OF GOD
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)
“When we put on the whole armor of God, we put on the nature of Christ Jesus…When you put on the full armor of God, you say to the devil, ‘You have to go through Jesus to get to me!” Charles Stanley, “When the Enemy Strikes”
THE OLD IS GONE; THE NEW IS HERE
“We may be, in part, products of our past; but if the gospel is true, we do not need to be prisoners of it.” – Andy Bannister
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
10 QUICK POINTS ABOUT OUR NEED FOR GOD
Read the blog here.
QUOTE(s) of the WEEK
“The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” – Brennan Manning
“How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know that is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.” – A.W. Tozer
“If a thing’s value is determined by what someone will pay for it, then the cross reveals that each of us is immeasurably valuable to God.” – Abdu Murray
LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE:
“A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn’t pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.” – Henny Youngman
