hey y'all!
today was good, b/c it was friday. but it was still icky b-day. goodness. thank goodness monday is a-day. but i am just happy it is the WEEKEND! haha. i did nothing tonight. big surprise. haha. fridays are usually boring. tomorrow ill probably hang out with candace. b/c thats what i do on saturdays. haha. and its fun. haha. i've been listening to barlowgirl, i love love them. haha.
well ima finish talkin' to y'all about Mark tonight :] and my blog tomorrow will be on 'contagious Christianity' which is something im excited about.
anywho, back to Mark.
Mark 12:29-31, "The most important one, answered Jesus, is this: Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and wit all your idn and with all of your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." so. 2 things we need to know as Christians: 1. we need to love God with everything we have. and we should nave NO other Gods. we need to give our lives to God. and 2. we need to loves others as we love ourselves. it is not our place to judge people and we should not hate anyone. we need to love, and to forgive & forget.
Mark 12:43-44, "Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, 'I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on." i love this story. all the rich people may have put in tons of money, but they still have tons left over, the widow gave God what we should all give God, absolutey everything we have.
Mark 14:38, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak." we need to pray to God to keep us out of temptation. as Christians, our spirits long to serve God but our bodies are weak and easily persuaded into all types of temptation by desires and other things.
Mark 16:15-16, "He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but wheoever does not believe will be condemned." this ones pretty much self-explanitory. we need to tell people about Gods word! and if other sincerly and truly believe in God, they will be saved :]

so my question to y'all tonight is, what are you willing to do for God?
i love y'all!
God Bless!
