Watch and Pray - May 28
Grace for the Moment: Volume 2 by Max Lucado
May 28
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."
Mark 14:38 NIV
"Watch." They don't come any more practical than that. Watch. Stay alert. Keep your eyes open. When you see sin coming, duck. When you anticipate an awkward encounter, turn around. When you sense temptation, go the other way.
All Jesus is saying is, "Pay attention." You know your weaknesses. You also know the situations in which your weaknesses are most vulnerable. Stay out of those situations. Back seats. Late hours. Movie theaters. Whatever it is that gives Satan a foothold in your life, stay away from it. Watch out!
"Pray." Prayer isn't telling God anything new. There is not a sinner nor a saint who would surprise him. What prayer does is invite God to walk the shadowy pathways of life with us. Prayer is asking God to watch ahead for falling trees and tumbling boulders and to bring up the rear, guarding our backside from the poison darts of the devil.

Slam Poetry
Anyone interested in going for a Slam Poetry event tomorrow evening at Velvet Underground?
Basically Slam poetry is a postmodern performance poetry, a form of spoken word performed at a competitive poetry event, called a "slam", at which poets perform their own poems (or, in rare cases, those of others) that are "judged" on a numeric scale by randomly picked members of the audience.
They have it on at Velvet every last Tuesday of the month. Cool stuff really...
Here's a really cool example of Slam poetry in action (which purportedly got this Apple employee fired)
Alternate "Jesus is the reason I smile" video *heh heh*

Perfect Love - May 27

Perfect Love - May 27
Grace for the Moment: Volume 2 by Max Lucado
May 27
"Perfect love casts out fear."
I John 4:18 NKJV
Have you ever gone to the grocery store on an empty stomach? You're a sitting duck. You buy everything you don't need. Doesn't matter if it's good for you--you just want to fill your tummy. When you're lonely, you do the same in life, pulling stuff off the shelf, not because you need it, but because you are hungry for love.
Why do we do it? Because we fear facing life alone. For fear of not fitting in, we take the drugs. For fear of standing out, we wear the clothes. For fear of appealing small, we go into debt and buy the house. For fear of going unnoticed, we dress to seduce or to impress. For fear of sleeping alone, we sleep with anyone. For fear of not being loved, we search for love in all the wrong places.
But all that changes when we discover God's perfect love. And "perfect love casts out fear."
