What are you known for? How do people hold you? What do you generate in the world? Don't forget that God is your source and from that source, anything is possible.
What does it mean to demonstrate piety? When you are committed to expressing the basic expressions of what it means to live out the commandments, that is a form of piety. When you treat your neighbor as yourself, that is a demonstration of piety. When you recognize the need to be needed for yourself and others and you meet that need, that is piety. It is a way of providing life fulfillment in the world.
Could you say that all of your needs are met? There is a difference between what you may want versus what you need. Could you say that all of your needs are met? We have the capacity to have the experience of everyone's need being met given that there are more than enough resources to meet everyone's need. This new season of sharing is upon us.
What could be your resurrection experience today? What stone of doubt or cynicism would you have to remove from the tomb? Are you ready to sacrifice your despair? Can you experience Resurrection?
What is authority anyway? Authority is being empowered with the right to guide, direct, or demand obedience. We too have that same authority. Let it be demonstrated this Easter season and beyond.
How do you value your time? More importantly, how do you spend your time? If time is money, are you putting a match to your time and just burning it up?
What we say we believe may not be how live our lives. What do you believe and how do your actions and behaviors reflect those beliefs? I wouldn't call you a thief but have you ever not returned something that belongs to someone else.
We are greater than we realize. We have capabilities beyond our beliefs. If God so loved the world out of believing in us, how do we return that favor?
Have you ever wondered how we arrived at these current times given our history? How have some things survived and continue to be social problems when other things have become modernized? What keeps certain things in place? Where is our thinking about change and how can we correct our social ills?
God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom. Shall we turn to God and call upon that greater wisdom?
Abraham was 100 years old when God directed him and Sarah to start a family. The promise of faith for them was that they would have a family and legacy that would exceed all expectations. God is still fulfilling on that promise as a result of Abraham's faith. What has God placed in your heart as a directive? What promise of faith is waiting to be fulfilled in your life?
Do we actually love ourselves or are we self-indulgent? Do we know what it means to love God? If you were called to prove your love of God, how would you demonstrate your results? We can't say that we love God if we do not love our neighbor. That is the measure of our love of God. Demonstrate your love of God with the love for your neighbor.
God bless,
