I really love Thursdays, I think it is for several reasons...
1. It is the day after our "midweek" bible study night at church. Last night out youth had a youth band and did worship... IT WAS AWESOME!! The song choices were perfect and they sounded really great!!
2. Thursday at work is a great day for me. It is a lighter schedule and I don't have afterschool sports.
3. Vinces' payday and we usually go out for dinner!!
I could go on and on about Thursdays but I am sure you get it..
Romans Chapter 3
1-8 is hard for me to wrap my thoughts around!! so gool ole "bible gateway" helps again. When I have trouble understanding something I can look it up there in different translations (usually The Message) here is a link to it. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%203&version=MSG
10-18 my bible has a side note that is great...Talked about modern day announce a cure of a flu that no one knows anything about NOT MUCH EXCITEMENT... Pauls message is about God's amazing grace but people won't seek a cure until they know they are ill. 11 Is a really hard verse although I think I need to be reminded of that...There is no one righteous, not even one there is no one who understands no one who seeks God. I need to get off my "high horse"
this is from gateway from the message 20 ish
This makes it clear, doesn't it, that whatever is written in these Scriptures is not what God says about others but to us to whom these Scriptures were addressed in the first place! And it's clear enough, isn't it, that we're sinners, every one of us, in the same sinking boat with everybody else? Our involvement with God's revelation doesn't put us right with God. What it does is force us to face our complicity(which means our involvement, accomplice) in everyone else's sin. To me this means that we have to be so careful to not make others stumble either by our actions, words or how we live our life. Are you the same everywhere you go??
22 now we are getting to the good stuff!! "This righteousness from God comes throught faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference." I don't know about you but this is good stuff!!
23 " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" you and I are not alone for all have sinned EVERYONE
24...by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
27-31 is just another great reminder of ANYONE can be a christian if they so choose.. it doesn't matter where you have been, what you have done ANYONE CAN MAKE THE CHOICE TO FOLLOW AND BE FORGIVEN!!
