"Silver and Gold have I none, but that which I have give I thee....." What if Peter had some silver or gold? What an ordinary and uneventful story this would have been. The lame man would… Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution Tomorrow?
The things I have been reading in the Bible lately have been teaching me 3 things that I can't get around: 1. God is God and I am not, I need to let Him do His thing in me. 2. God has a plan for my life and I need to prepare myself for that plan. 3. I need patience to allow God to do whatever He has planned. I don't know why the teachings have been so clear and "sermon" like lately but for some... Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution He takes my breath away
God's mercy is astounding. I don't understand it and when I am reminded of it I am blown away. Imagine the words in verse 29. God takes away their breath. God holds the power of life in is thoughts, he needs no reason or excuse to take it and he needs none to bless it. I think, when we trust in Him He will allow us to see his Love and see his power. I want to see God move everyday, I want to... Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution Jesus is a Curse
The Law Creates issues for me. I've heard it said that the law is a fence around the tree in the garden, we place a fence inside that fence which keeps us from getting any closer to the original fence. God says, "don't eat", we push the limits and eat, we are cursed to continually eat the forbidden fruit... Until Jesus, He comes and redeems me by replacing my curse on the cross. He becomes a curse... Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution Sufficient Grace
I boast, it's what I do. I"m basically a humble guy, I don't go around showing off and yelling how cool I am at the top of my lungs but I boast. I think highly of myself, I think that I can do pretty much anything. If I think something could be done better I tell myself, "I could do better than how that's being done." Paul tells me that God's Grace is sufficient for me in the weak times. That... Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution Excel
I want to excel in my work. Father, I want to please you with the work that I do. I know that I sometimes have an attitude which indicates otherwise but I really want to be someone who excels at the work you have given me. Lord, help me to keep the goal in mind. Help me to see that I'm working for you and no man. Help me to understand that even when I'm standing before kings that it's You who's... Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution My Reception of the Gospel
Paul is talking a lot in these verses about how the Corinthians received him and then rejected him for others. How the Gospel has been changed because they allowed themselves to be "tricked" into believing a lie. Lord, let me believe the one Truth. Help me to take the Gospel with me where ever I go. Don't let my heart be swayed by anything but you. Read more »

erikandmary added a text contribution The Fragrance of Christ
We are the Fragrance of Christ to those who are perishing. I'm not a smart guy, I can't convince someone to come and know Jesus. I have to live to be the fragrance of Christ, I have to give people a reason to ask me, "what's that smell?" How do I do that today? What can I do to give off the idea that Christ is here, with me?
