Luke 12: 30-32 [MSG]
Verse 30People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works.

Luke 9:62 [MSG]
Jesus said, "No procrastination. No backward looks. You can't put God's kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day."
What has God called you to do?

Built To Last
2:16 AM
Luke 6:46-49 [MSG]
"Why are you so polite with me, always saying 'Yes, sir,' and 'That's right, sir,' but never doing a thing I tell you? These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on. "If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss."
Let's not just be hearers of the Word,
Let's not just be talkers of the Word,
Let's be DOers of His Word.
Definitions of the word "Build" from dictionary.com
[1] to construct (especially something complex) by assembling and joining parts or materials [2] to establish, increase, or strengthen (often followed by up) [3] to mold, form, or create [4] to base; found
Building requires TIME and EFFORT. Pertaining to building our lives with God's Word (logos and rhema), we are building our lives to last i.e. for longevity, for eternity. Great are the benefits of such so let's do it together as an individual, as a cell group, as a zone and even as a church!
INFLECTIONS ftw woohoo~

You Are Blessed!!

Hello everyone!!
I think that everybody is waiting for somebody to do something, or you are wondering "How to write inflections arh?" - basically you can write about anything, as long as it is something that has impacted you! (:
So leading by example *ahem* hahaha..here goes!
***
One of the passage that really impacted and blessed me was that of the Beatitudes.
For this round of Bible reading, I am using the Message Bible and it shed new perspectives about the Beatitudes!!
This is the usual version (NKJV) that we are used to:
The Beatitudes1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “ Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Great passage that is entitled The Sermon on the Mount- probably the most widely known sermon/ preaching of Jesus!
And then, I read the Message Bible version of it, check it out:
Matthew 5
You're Blessed1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said:
3"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
4"You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
5"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
6"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.
7"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
8"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
9"You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.
10"You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom.
11-12"Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don't like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
Love the verses and how it spoke practically into our lives to count our blessings.
Are you blessed today? Take a look at the MSG bible and start counting your blessings! (:
Good night and see you guys for CG laters!!! (:
Love,
Liwei
