Memorise:Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. - Colossians 3:23

Topic: Quick to Forgive [July 19, 2016]

Message:
The world is filled with pain and hurting people; and my experience has been that hurting people hurt others.

Joyce Meyer's daily devotional for 16 July 2016 -You Are Everywhere You Go!
Memorise:For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. - Corinthians 5:21
Message:
What if everywhere you went, you ran into someone you didn't like? Wouldn't that be terrible? Oh no, you’d think, her again. You attend a party, and you have to endure her conversation and views. You go to church, and she’s sitting right beside you. What a bummer to have to spend so much time with this person, you think.

Joyce Meyer's daily devotional for 12 July 2016 -Works That Work
Topic: Works That Work [July 12, 2016]
Memorise: For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of living waters, and they have hewn for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns which cannot hold water. - Jeremiah 2:13
Message:
I believe one of the biggest ways people waste time is by doing what the Bible calls "dead works." I like to define a dead work as a "work" that doesn't work! That means that you are trying to make something happen, but no matter what you do, it simply does not work.
