Happy Friday and blessings.
 
Today I want to reflect in a reading from Psalm 119;169 that says: Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me understanding according to your word. This scripture is a reminder that the devotional life in discipleship is a dynamic part of the relationship with God. It encourages us to be sure our devotions never become commonplace.
 

Do you know that in order for us to have an effective revitalize church, we will need a radical discipleship. The call to be disciples was given to us by Jesus:“Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him.” (Matthew 4:19-20).

One of the best descriptions seems to me to be given to us by Rev. Martin Luther King when he showed that when it comes to Christian discipleship, we have to stop being temometers and we must become thermostats.

How many of you have worked with or known people who have done things and they had no concerns about what people thought?  Well, today I invite you to look to a woman in Mark 5:25-34 who broke “religious protocol” and did so for only one reason: she was seeking Jesus.

I've been meditating on forgiveness for a few weeks and today I decided to share some thoughts with you. The Epistle of Colossians (3:13) tells us: Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as God forgave you. In other words, it is a mandate; we must forgive. Forgiveness is a choice we make. It is a decision of our will, motivated by obedience to God and his command to forgive.
