In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You’ll still be faithful, You’ll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You’ll still be faithful,
You’ll still be faithful, Lord.

Romans 1:16
*I am not ashamed of the Gospel, but I’m thinking about times when I was really ashamed of the Gospel.
*You need to get the word of God in your mind. Read the Bible over and over and over again.
*You need to know the Bible well enough, so that you can distinguish whether people are telling you the truth.
2 Timothy 4:2-4
“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
Luke 14:12
*When you give a feast invite the poor, the lame, and the blind.
Luke 10:30-34
The Samaritan had compassion and so he went.
“A lot of us think we get compassionate because we get emotional when we hear a story or see a movie. Compassion is never compassion until you go across the street and do something now. Compassion is not compassion until you actively get involved and let yourself be interrupted.“
