GRACE

Last evening we had a great night of teaching with Joseph Prince.
He spoke on Grace.

I just felt I have to share some wonderful thoughts I took home:

Galatians 1:6 (Amplified Bible)
I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly [a]turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you [b]by the grace (unmerited favour) of Christ (the Messiah) [and that you are transferring your allegiance] to a different [even an opposition] gospel.
Galations 3:3
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [Holy] Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?

GRACE

• Grace is heart transformation
• Grace is when good things happen effortlessly
• The Grace of God will teach
  

WHAT GOT ME THINKING

Do I see Jesus in Grace?
Am I Jesus conscious?

Acts 10:43 (New King James Version)
To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”

God never compels us

I was reading this and thought how amasing should share this with all of you-

Psalm 1 (The Message)

1How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
2-3 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
4-5 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust— Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people. 6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row




God whom we follow does not compel us to do what he expects us to do but He gives freewill and choices that we can choose. We walk by the choices we make. Right choices build us and the wrong choices break us. We can either delight in the word of God, meditate on it and apply the same in our life (to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ) or follow the worldly ways - doing ungodly acts (as directed by sinful desires) ; passing /breaking the limit that God kept for us ; being scornful. If we make the right choice of listening and obeying Him, we will be able to live blessed, fruitful and perfect Christian life. We will prosper in whatever we do.

BUPA Great North Run

Sunday I did my best race ever..it was so good.I enjoyed every minute of it.


A report on the run:

The world's biggest half marathon celebrated its 26th running with almost 50,000 entries. Since the first Great North Run in June 1981, some 642,221 people have crossed the finish line at South Shields.The point-to-point course through Newcastle begins at the central motorway in Newcastle city centre, crosses the Tyne River soon after and follows a pleasantly undulating route to The Leas at South Shields. A flypast by the Red Arrows highlighted the start of the race and added to the experience of runners who also enjoyed musical entertainment along the way. A total of 8,027,756 miles have now been run in the Great North Run - that's about 308 times around the world.

Can you spot me?
