LIVING OUR FAITH
The Irish evangelist Gypsy Smith once said, “There are five Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Christian, and some people will never read the first four.” In other words, the message is seen before it is heard. --Ravi Zacharias, Slice of InfinityDISILLUSIONMENT
Invited to bury our illusions with the body of Christ, we bury them with none other than the one who unites us to himself in life and in death. We may stand in painful disillusionment, but we stand with the vicarious humanity of the Incarnate Son. Thus, for any losses we mourn or graves of dead dreams and visions over which we lament, so we may stand equally aware that we will be mercifully startled by what emerges from the tomb. --Jill Carattini, Slice of Infinity
GOD & YOUR WORK
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, & let them rule over the fish of the sea & the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, & over all the creatures that move along the ground.'" (Gen. 1:26) "As a human created in God's image, you are inherently significant & when you work you are doing something that is very Godlike.It is not only God's work that is significant; human work is significant, too." --Doug Sherman & Wiliam Henricks, Men's Devotional Bible
