90 Day Challenge – Week 11

GOYOLast week took us through the book of Hebrews and into the book of James. The writer of Hebrews speaks to the fact that Jesus is our Great High Priest, that He is far superior to the sacrifices that were offered in the past. By His one sacrifice, He took care of all of our sin. One of the verses that stuck out to me was 10:14 – “For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Jesus came to rescue us and overcome sin and death for us. Sometimes the letter of Hebrews is hard to understand, but contains such great truth.

The letter of James is so practical, making sure to tell us that we need to live out what we believe. It’s not enough to say we know God; we need to show it in what we do.

I hope the time you are spending in God’s Word through the 90 Day Challenge is helping you grow in your relationship with God. We are getting near the end of the challenge and I hope it’s helping to create a habit that will continue past the 90 days.

We plan to have some resources available after the challenge is over so you can continue to grow through time in His Word.

Keep up the good work!

Fortune Cookie Wisdom

Had lunch today with a good friend and he thought Chinese sounded good.  We usually hit up Skyline, but the Chinese was quite tasty. (Thanks John!)

Of course we got a fortune cookie to eat following lunch.  Usually I think the fortunes contained within said cookie are either dumb or have no relevance.  Today, however, was different.  I opened my fortune to read this:

“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.”

Hmmmm…sounds similar to James 1:19 (“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”)  Pretty good advice for the week!
