BIBLE STUDY 10.6.06
SONG 1
The whole world's a choir—and singing!
I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THIS! LOOK FOR ITS RELEVANCE, BUT LIKE THIS IMAGE!
SONG 7
Come, dear lover— let's tramp through the countryside.Let's sleep at some wayside inn, then rise early and listen to bird-song.Let's look for wildflowers in bloom, blackberry bushes blossoming white,Fruit trees festooned with cascading flowers.And there I'll give myself to you, my love to your love!
I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT WITH PASCAL!
Ephesians 6
1-3 Children, do what your parents tell you. This is only right. "Honor your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise attached to it, namely, "so you will live well and have a long life." 4Fathers, don't exasperate your children by coming down hard on them. Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master.
5-8Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real master, Christ. Don't just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ's servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, you're really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free.
MAKES ME THINK OF SHIRLEY AND THE BOARD!
10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
13-18Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
PRAYING AND GETTING IN THE WORD!
PHIL. 1
All along you have experienced with me the most generous help from God.
GOD HELPED ME LOADING THE DISHWASHER!
Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.
MY LOVE AND LIFE CERTAINLY DO NOT MAKE JESUS ATTRACTIVE TO ALL!
speaking out fearlessly about God, about the Messiah
I DO NOT DO THAT EITHER, THE WAY I BEHAVE IS CERTAINLY NO ADVERTISEMENT FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN!
as your growth and joy in this life of trusting God continues
