CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 Corinthians 10:24 – “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.”

A simple yet confounding instruction. It runs pretty much exactly counter to our culture. We even try to explain how generosity can be motivated be self interest. Give because it makes you feel good. Give because it will improve the society you live in.

And it’s easy to throw rocks at. Most of us don’t like our neighbors meddling with us, even if they think they are doing us good. It’s easy to invent scenarios where things fall apart because folks weren’t paying attention to their own affairs but were tied in knots dealing with other people’s problems.

But still there it sits, in all its difficulty, simplicity, and wisdom.
MOLESKIN:
I was gonna do a decline set, but pretty beat after just three. Might have rather replaced the second set since it wasn’t that different.

Asbury Revival going on now – rekindling that First Love for God the way John describes in Revelation. God is speaking to me from Hosea 10:12, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.” and Psalm 63. What fallow ground is God calling you to break up as you grow in seeking Him?

“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31‭-‬32 NASB1995

What a blessing it is to have the word of God. We have access to information that tells us exactly what God expects of us. If we know God’s word and continually obey it, we can be set free from sin. God’s word is truth. We need to study it and commit it to memory so that we may know it.

Daily Bible Verse:  “A new commandment I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
(John 13:34-35, NIV)

What Rules Your Life?  Leonard Sweet urges us to go past the Golden Rule to the Titanium Rule.  He says it’s Jesus’ idea.  This is the way he breaks it down:

  1. The Iron Rule.  “Do unto others BEFORE they do it unto you.”  This was the rule when humanity was first organized into clans.
  2. The Silver Rule.  “Do unto others AS they have done unto you.”  This is the “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” mentality.
  3. The Golden Rule.  “Do unto others AS YOU would have them do unto YOU.”  The Golden Rule built the best of Western civilization.  But who does it put at the center?  YOU.
  4. The Platinum Rule.  “Do unto others as THEY would have you do unto them.”  The focus moves from you to them.
  5. The Titanium Rule.  Jesus established this rule.  The focus is not on “doing;” it focuses on “loving.”  “Love one another as I have loved you.”

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for those sick and injured.  Thanks for letting me lead!
