• Nehemiah 10:1 (MSG)

---

8 thoughts from reading the Word this morning

1st 3 regarding $ and Nehemiah 10)
1. Tithe

2. give a third yearly to the church for its needs and maintenance/ so am I giving offering, or hearing the Holy Spirit concerning offering?

3.when we do this, we take care of the church, just like we take care of our own homes and families by paying the bills, buying groceries, painting the walls, etc

1st Timothy
4. Keep a firm grip on your faith, don't slack off, nobody can do your push ups for you, only you can develop your relationship with God

5. Don't shake angry fists at enemys, but raise holy hands to God, Soap box of the day: i'm tired of my friends and family always complaining about the government and about president and whatever else is on CNN that morning, would someone please please put as much time into something encouraging to someone else as they do forwarding/typing angry emails about things that are only going to make people fearful and mad. Raise holy hands to God...itilian voice, Forget about it ehh.. what are you gonna change about out all the wrong things in the world with an email?

6. 1Tim 5 anyone who neglects family members in need repudiates the faith. thats worse than refusing to believe in the first place. No further comment needed. I'm going to help my family even when it irritates the crap out of me.

7. People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith...therefore there will be no number 8. haha. have a good day
