Please, take some time and read the Bible passages for today (check out the calender in the middle of the blog). Leviticus focuses on proper sexual relations, not to call on evil spirits, and not to sacrifice your children to an idol. It is hard to believe that God had to tell any people not to sacrifice their children to an idol, But He did. Could life be so hard, that the idea of killing of your child seems like the best course of action? Then I hear stories like the young couple in Baltimore beating their child to death and I think yes WE do. I think about the priests in the catholic church or teachers in our schools molesting children entrusted to them and I understand why God needed to tell His people not to do this. I hope all of us have the opportunity to hear a sermon on this chapter. Apparently, there are many in our mist in need of hearing it.
Psalms is a great passage for those of us struggling with staying on the path God has before us. Ecclesiastes again reminding us just because we are God's children doesn't mean we will not experience all the struggles or joys of man.
Finally, the passage in Timothy reminds me that as our fellowship grows, we will need to remind the new members what we mean by widow, what honoring and loving each other means in our community. That showing love for others speaks so much louder than any word.
I hope you have a great weekend, spend some time expressing your love for Christ and love for someone else.
