Amber here are a few verses to enjoy!

While in church yesterday, our pastor took us on some what of a wild goose chase through the bible. Or that is what it felt like to keep up with him. I happened on a couple of verses that I had never remembered reading. Now remember this is the message translation so it might not read this way in another translation but I really enjoyed this one.

In Romans 14:5-12 It says,"Or, say one person thinks that some days should be set aside as holy and another thinks that each day is pretty much like any other. There are good reasons either way. So, each person is free to follow the convictions of conscience.What's important in all this is that if you keep a holy day, keep it for God's sake, if you eat meat, eat it to the glory of God and thank God for prime rib, if you're a vegetarian, eat vegetables to the glory of God and than God for broccoli. None of us are permitted to insist on our own way in these matters. It's God we are answerable to-all the way from life th death and everything in between- not each other. That's why Jesus lived and died and then lived again so that he could be our Master across the entire range of life and death and free us from the petty tyrannies of each other. So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I'd say it leaves you looking pretty silly, or worse. Eventually we're all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment facing God. You critical and condescending ways aren't going to improve your position there one bit. Read it for yourself in Scripture:

"As I live and breathe,"
God says, "every knee will bow before me.
Every tongue will tell the honest truth
that I and only I am God. "

So tend to your knitting. You've got your hands full just taking are of your own life before God.

I hope this didn't rattle on. I just really enjoyed these verses. Love you mom
