Music

It is Thursday and here is your thought for today.   Music is one of the most loved and fought over forms of expression in the church context.  Each person his there own tastes and belief.  One thing though we must do and that is worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and one way this is done through music.  Whatever form you choose worship the Lord.

Four Disciples called

 Matt 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20 and Luke 5:1-11 – Four Disciples called

                Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee and He met Peter and his brother Andrew.  They were fishing and He called them over and said that He wanted to make them Fishers of men.  They immediately left their nets.  He came along and did the same with James and John and they did the same. 

1.       Jesus was well known at this time as a prophet and teacher, His message was that the Kingdom of God  was near.  He told the people to repent and believe with all their hearts the good news.

2.       Jesus called His disciples to be Fishers of Men.  It is beautiful to see these men were willing to give up

        everything to follow Jesus.  Peter put it this way, “where can we go, only you have the words of eternal   

        life.”  Here is something irresistible about Jesus that when we first meet Him, the first thing we want to do

        is follow Him.

3.       It was an act of faith and obedience on the part of the disciples to leave all and follow Jesus.  We must be willing to do the same. 

4.       Jesus taught the word from Peter’s boat.  Jesus was with them and Peter was reminded of His sin.  He was and so we be when we come into the presence of Jesus.  We must be willing to get of all our sin. 

Worship God

It is the middle of the week and here is your thought for today.  God does not concern Himself about how you worship Him but that you worship Him.  Jesus said in John 4, that we are to worship the Lord in Spirit and truth.  So today, worship God with truth and with all you hear and spirit.
