Directions From Morning Scripture: 2-9-16

Posted on February 9, 2016 by joseph elon lillie under Pastor Wrinkles

Today my morning devotional Scripture came through one of the devotions I am reading, David Nasser’s, A Call To Die.

The Scripture that I got stuck on and meditated on for some time was Romans 6:16

Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

What are the differences between being a slave to sin and being a slave to righteousness? Make a list for yourself.

The Road Through Romans: Trinity

Posted on February 9, 2016 by joseph elon lillie under Pastor Wrinkles

INFINITUDEWe are continuing our discussion through the attributes of God which are displayed in creation according to Romans 1:20 , which says, “²⁰For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

So far we have discussed God’s

Today we are discussing GOD’S TRINITY.

We see the trinity described in nature in: The egg, The shamrock and perhaps best in our own selves. As a human I am one being in three parts. I have a body, I have a mind, will and emotional center which I call my soul and there is third part of my being which transcends logic, will and emotion and touches on the unseen realm. That I call my spirit.

Share Your World 2016 Week# 6

Posted on February 9, 2016 by joseph elon lillie under For Family & Fun

It’s time to open up and share with Cee again. Check out SHARE YOUR WORLD BY CLICKING HERE. It is an awesome site.

Generally contributors are asked five questions and our answers help us share our lives with the blogosphere. This week we get to share double thanks to The Happy Quitter Blog

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

What is your favorite word?

I really love words. Some of my favorites are lullaby, mystical and loquacious. The word I use the most is probably Groovy

What is your least favorite word?

This is actually a pretty hard question. I am not a big fan of the word bombastic.

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?

Being in the presence of God through prayer, worship or study of the Scripture really gets me going. Writing and reading also really trigger something deep inside.

What turns you off?

Complaining and criticism that is not thought out.

What is your favorite curse word?

I don’t curse. Maybe “darn” or “shucks” or “bummer dude”.

What sound or noise do you love?

I love the sound of the ocean waves or a waterfall. I love birdsong.

What sound or noise do you hate?

Incessant prattle and mean-spirited banter.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

I have tried many professions and I am very content with being a minister.

What profession would you not like to do?

Construction.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

“Well done Thou good and faithful servant enter into the joy of the Lord!”

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am so happy to have gotten some walls painted in our upstairs hallway during my vacation. I am looking forward to our concert at the Lifeskills program this week.
