DAY 337 - Leftover Offering! No! No! No! (請按此處收聼廣東話Cantonese podcast click here)


Please join our new Mentor 123 campaign starting this coming Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013!

What you need to do is to find two more people meeting once a week for three months, encouraging each others to have daily devotion - a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus!

To create a momentum to this new yearly campaign I am going to start a new blog and podcast on that day. I will direct my two blogs and podcasts to that new site to have a 40 days BREAK.BUILD daily devotion. For a preliminary format please go to this site: http://www.breakbuild.blogspot.ca/ . 

You can see the layout and titles of all 40 days. Come on , let's get two more people to start a daily tasting of Jesus wonderful banquet specially prepared for us! 

Today's Reading: Luke 20: 41-21:4

Bible Study

     Today's passage gives us two different kinds of people. The Pharisees are those who talk the talk but not walk the walk. The widow is the one who really offer and love God with everything she has.
     What kind of Christian you are? How is your offering? Are you more like the Pharisees or the widow? How much do you need to change so that you would be less and less live like a Pharisee? 
      
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

     What I heard from Jesus today is: Leftover offering! No! No! No!

     Today Jesus gives me a funny but serious warning. Lots of time we as Christians offer our leftovers! We have no problem to give 15% or more as tips when we go to restaurant. But, when we go to church, 10% is so difficult, 15% is impossible. Why? Because we are Pharisees! That is the most simple answer that I can think of!
     If you are not a Pharisee, please don't give your leftover to Jesus! It won't do you good because you will be control by money the rest of your life!
     
Dear Lord Jesus,
Soften our hearts so that we won't give you our leftovers. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
