Here's a thought

Good Morning....hope to see you tonight...and here's a thought.

Romans 8:28 (NRSV)

28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

Really?  Everything?  Sometimes this verse is a little hard to take.  But then we find...

Romans 8:31-32 (NRSV)

31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us,...

Oh no...the God card, yes, really and yes, everything...because

Romans 8:38 (NRSV)

38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Sometimes scripture is a hard inexplicable truth - but it is still TRUTH.

See Ya!

Oklahoma Says...

Hey there...this week you are getting my Just Sayin' thought from the booming metropolis of Mounds, Oklahoma or, as the locals would say, Mounds, America...population 7, usually 5, but Brenda and I showed up.

Given my penchant for acrostics...here we go....

Coming to small group is not about how much you, or I, know - it is about how we GROW.

G    ....go to the WORD

R    ....read the WORD

O    ....obey the WORD

W   ....witness the WORD...

John 1:1

[ The Word Became Flesh ] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

See Ya' Sunday

Psalm 5

Sometime we intend, even long to pray.  Prayer is a subject much discussed in our group.  However, in the crush of life, we do not or cannot...pray.  We then feel guilty and belive we are less than Christian.  The promises we find in scripture about the Holy Spirit "comforting" us in our time of need give us a unique perspective.  No matter how stumbling, incoherent or rambling our prayers may be - the Holy Spirit is pleading, for us, in a language heaven hears and understands.

Psalm 5

1 

Give ear to my words, O Lord;
    Give heed to my sighing.

2 

Listen to the sound of my cry,
    My King and my God,
    For to you I pray.

Just sayin'
