This morning at Grace Fellowship as we continue to study the Gospel of Luke: “Jesus Casts Out Demons” (Luke 8). #WhoTalksAboutThatToday

“Since you are tempted without ceasing, pray without ceasing.” - Charles Spurgeon

“Sleep is our nightly declaration that we aren’t God.” ~ Matt Smethurst

“What God needs to do *in* you always matters more than what you think He needs to do *through* you.” ~ Sam Allberry

“On the cross, Jesus took the punishment that our sins deserve, thereby moving our judgment day from the future to the past. In Jesus, we are already completely forgiven, so we have nothing left to fear.” ~ Scott Sauls

Can’t wait to meet with Jesus and His people this morning! #SeeYouAtChurch

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts his sails to harness it.” ~ William Arthur Ward

It’s very important to have your preferences accommodated in the worship service . . . . . . if you’re the one being worshiped. — Bill Haynes

“If God answered your prayers, would your neighbor know Christ? Or would you have lots of stuff? “ — Burk Parsons

The mission field is enormous, and the number of people sharing their faith with them is few, therefore we should... (a) work hard to share our faith; (b) work hard to get others to share their faith; or (c) pray. Jesus’ first answer was (c) ~ Luke 10:2

“Christ's resurrection not only gives you hope for the future; it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.” ~ Tim Keller #FillYourFeedWithHope

“While the plague was raging ... what a comfort it was to feel that we were in the hands of a loving Father ... whether we were smitten with the epidemic or not ... we knew it would be well with us, that there was no reason to be alarmed.” ~ FJ Grimké on Spanish Flu 1918 #FYFWH

Lisa and I were in DC to hear this message firsthand. Mark washed the feet of a lifetime NCC volunteer.

When I eat a rack of ribs, I only eat ribs number 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. I prefer a prime rib. 😎 It’s too bad that COVID-19 didn’t start in Las Vegas… …because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 😎

I learned this from Melissa Fisher As a believer I might have a truck load of truth to share with a not-yet-believing person, but I must build a loving relationship (bridge) that is strong enough so that truth can be received.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” ~ Luke 3:4 I want to be like John the Baptist and help prepare the way for Jesus in other people’s lives. The question is: Am I willing to experience the wilderness like JB did?

This morning I heard an invitation from Psalm 62:8 - “Pour out your heart before God.” So, I did. I wrote an entire page by hand of how I feel, what I long for, and what’s going on in my heart. It felt good. And then I ended with Psalm 62:5 - “I wait in hope on You.”
