A Personal Inventory for Sunday

  1. Am I putting in conscious effort (work) into learning something new from God, whether in the scripture I read or the sermon I hear?
  1. Do I carefully examine the text of each song I sing in church or just blindly get caught up in the catchy melody or ongoing repetition?
  1. Does my hunger for the food of God’s word match my hunger for physical food? Are they fed even close to equally? (Jeremiah 15:16)
  1. Do I know where in my church I can be taught from God’s word, besides Sunday morning service?
  1. Where are my time and money being spent most? Am I too busy for regular corporate and personal study of God’s word because of other things? Is the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and growth an invested priority in my life? (Matt. 6:21)
These excellent questions appeared in an article by David Bordy.  Link

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
