Cross The Line (1) In his booklet, Cross The Line, Sam Parker writes: ‘With everything, there’s a line. On one side of the line is a greater chance to make good things happen (better results, better relationships, more opportunities). This is where you will find all those people you admire. On the other side of the line, there is less of a chance. And with each line, you have a choice. You want to cross the line or you don’t. You want that better chance at making good things happen (meaningful things) or you set off with the lesser chance. Your choice. Then there will be those times when in the short run it will seem like you can’t cross the line (no matter what you do). But then, those misses (those hurdles) in the short run will sometimes help you over the line in the long run (in a way you couldn’t have seen). They will serve as lessons, giving you more depth to your experience – making you stronger and better prepared for the bigger and more important challenges you’ll face in the future. But you won’t know that at the time. At the time, you will just see that line. And it might seem like a wall. But it really is just a line (a line you want to cross). And it’s yours to cross, but you have to decide (make that choice).’ Paul chose to cross that line: ‘I press towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus’ (Philippians 3:14). Note the word ‘upward’. It’s a climb. The choice calls for total commitment. But in the end, it’s worth it!. The Word For Today by #UCB

Temporary Enjoyment Whatever things you have been given in this worldly life, are temporary enjoyment and glitter. But what is with God is far better and more lasting. Will you not use your intellect? Quran Chapter 28 :Verse 60 #CuriousHats #Quran

A Barnabas Word 10/17/2024 "Decisions" J A Poulson Sr "If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don't invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement." 2 John 1:10 (read vv.7-11) NLT In his teachings about Christ, the Apostle John offers great encouragement about remaining steadfast to the Truth. We must stand on inherent Truth and not entertain anyone or anything else. God's Truth and His teachings are paramount. Observe and decide: 1. One should consistently pursue and preach the Truth, making it a priority in one’s personal journey. (1 Tim:4:13) 2. One should thoroughly digest the Truth and delight in it, knowing its joy and justification. (1 Tim.4:16) 3. One should teach and tolerate nothing less than the Triumphant Truth of God. (1 Tim.6:3-5) Let us, therefore, be steadfast in reaching, teaching, and reconciling the repentant with the Truth. (1 Cor.15:58) Consider and contemplate these things.

We can learn about what God is like from the created world in all its beauty, diversity and complexity: ‘For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.’ (Romans 1:20 NIV) If you would like to learn more about creation care in the Bible, you can read the short book ‘Making a World of Difference’ by Dave Bookless and Renew Our World for FREE at https://lnkd.in/gpBcHUye

Embracing Biblical Principles to Navigate Challenging Situations In the face of adversity, I've found guidance and strength in timeless biblical principles that shape my values and actions. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." This reminds me to seek wisdom beyond my immediate perspective and to have faith in the bigger picture. When challenges arise, I turn to James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault." This inspires me to approach problems with humility and openness, seeking insight to make sound decisions. Perseverance is also key. Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." This motivates me to stay committed to my goals and maintain integrity, even when the path isn't easy. By integrating these principles, I strive to navigate challenges with resilience and compassion.
