Daily Thread – Acts 15

Continuing Ministry in Syria

30 So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter. 31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. 32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words. 33 And after they had stayed there for a time, they were sent back with greetings from the brethren to [k]the apostles.

34 [l]However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there. 35 Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Division over John Mark

36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” 37 Now Barnabas [m]was determined to take with them John called Mark. 38 But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work. 39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, being [n]commended by the brethren to the grace of God. 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

    • Someone inform Obama and Hillary. These people are not angry, bitter, or hate filled citizens clinging to their guns and Bibles...... Of course? The "Liberals" will not care. They believe their own Ideology. This is why many in Appalachia are hurting so badly right now.

      • I just read a post on Reddit by a man stating what a great job Biden has done and he doesn't see anyone suffering. I couldn't believe it.

          • It isn't even just in Appalachia. It's very severe in Appalachia however there is suffering all over the country. Homelessness if at an all time high. Many can't afford their bills and medication, or food plus their medication. Inflation is effecting everyone. Kids are moving back in with parents when they get out of college because they can't afford to live on their own. Buying a home is out of reach for many people now, and affordable housing and rent just isn't there.

          • Globalists have been planning this for decades. Over a half century ago, many openly stated that most Americans would never voluntarily surrender national sovereignty to a global government. They would have to be forced into it by social unrest, shortages, food riots, runaway inflation, possible civil war and Martial Law.

          • I can believe that. I just heard a video that stated we have a 1.4 birthrate and we need a 2.6 in order to sustain our society. Thanks go abortion that's gone on for years there aren't enough kids growing up to support social security. I hope my son will have it when he retires but who knows. This is just yet another way things are falling apart.

    ......... Pudgy's Dance
    Monday, October 7, 2024
    When I was a child, my dog Pudgy hated baths. But afterwards, she'd run around jumping for joy. Even the dog knew this truth - after a bath, you feel great. You may not run around and jump on the couch, but it's a great feeling. If we feel that good after taking a bath of water, how much better should we feel if we allow God to cleanse our hearts, souls, and spirits? We often think of asking God for cleansing in negative terms. But it's a positive, beautiful, and joyful thing. If you let your heart be cleansed by the Spirit of God, then your heart will come out new, fresh, and revived. If you let your mind be cleansed by God, your mind will come out of it a new and refreshed mind. Let your life be cleansed by God and it will become a new, revived, and refreshed life. Come to God and be cleansed. You'll come out clean, fresh, new, and revived. And you may even feel like running around and jumping on a couch.
    From Message #298 - Spring Cleaning
    Scripture: Ezekiel 36:25
    Today's Mission - Come to God today and be cleansed in your heart, mind, and soul. Let His springs of refreshing flow.

  • Good morning. This evening my ladies Bible study has to say goodbye to one of our most cherished members. She's moving to live closer to her family. Her great faith, her sense of humor, her kindness & her love will be deeply missed. Farewell "Miss G", I'll miss you, sweet friend.

  • Barnabas would not give up on Mark and Paul would not change, so they agreed to disagree taking different parts of the work.

  • Remodeling a room which was once a front porch that had been enclosed to be a room in the house. The floor was concret and it slanted so the rain would fall away from the house, so as a room we insulated it, laid a subfloor and put new flooring in. Fixed the ceiling that had falling in using roofing metal which actually looks great. I had to repaint on the walls which were damaged from the ceiling collaspe but that's just temporary as we will be putting up shiplap on the walls.

    Family coming for the big festival that takes place mid October. Sorry it took so long to respond. I was fixing breakfast.

    If you had come home from vacation to everything being fine you would have thought you entered the twilight zone.
