Lenexa, Kansas, United States - Soul Care - New Every Morning fro Thursday, 5 June 2014 "They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."(Lamentations 3:23) Good Morning, Ministry PartnerBe Encouraged by God's Word:
Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. That is not the way you learned Christ! For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus. You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.(Ephesians 4:17-24, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. (Flannery O'Connor)
Pray Together with Us:
The hatred which divides nation from nation,
race from race, class from class,
Father, forgive.
The covetous desires of men and nations
to possess what is not their own,
Father, forgive.
The greed which exploits the labors of men,
and lays waste the earth,
Father, forgive.
Our envy of the welfare and happiness of others,
Father, forgive.
Our indifference to the plight of the homeless and the refugee,
Father, forgive.
The lust which uses for ignoble ends
the bodies of men and women,
Father, forgive.
The pride which leads to trust in ourselves
and not in God,
Father, forgive.(Coventry Cathedral prayer (1964))
