Matthew 5:27-30
Sorry I missed a couple of posts, I've been a little busy getting D-Now ready. Note: Instead of doing a winner every day, I'm doing one grand prize winner for the person who finds the most hidden links first. So...
You may think today's passage doesn't have anything to do with you, but it does. Jesus is saying that not only is it bad to sleep with another person's wife, it is also bad to look at another person in a bad or lustful way.
Girls, that might mean checking out Brad Pitt with his shirt off or talking about how every boy that breathes is sooooooo cute. But you aren't looking at them as a person, but an object. This is wrong. We are supposed to be like Jesus, who looked at the inside, who we are as people.
Guy's, this may be an even bigger problem for you. Because we are more visual people, we really like how girls look. There's nothing wrong with that, but there is wrong with lusting after a girl. There is the one second, "oh that girl was pretty" look, then there is the 3 or more second.."dang she's fine" look. Let's try to stick with the first. We are supposed to care about each other as men and women in need of Christ and the very image bearers of God, not objects to be stared at and undressed with our eyes.
So, this does have something to do with you all. Ask God to help you to be pure in your thoughts and actions.

Matthew 11:13-16
Congrats to Ivey who found the heart yeasterday.
Today we're talking about salt. And light. I hope you read today's passage, it's good, but it can also be kind of confusing. Why does Jesus say we are supposed to be the Salt of tf the earth and the light of the world?
Have you ever eaten mashed potatoes? If you're like me, you don't like them unless they have plenty of salt. Salt adds flavor. We as Christians are supposed to add flavor and excitement to the world around us. We are supposed to have fun and help other people feel happy and satisfied by pointing them to Christ who gives us our joy.
That's where the light comes in. People who don't know Jesus are like people walking around in the dark. They can't see anything without a light. Our lives and our words are supposed to be the light for our friends to see Jesus. So today, ask God to help you be the salt of the earth and the light of the world right in your school, family and here in Macon.

Matthew 5:1-11
Today is the first day in our one month Bible Study series. I hope you're ready!!!!
Don't forget, the first person to find the hidden link and comment on it, wins a cool prize.
This is a cool passage of scripture. Mainly because it turns the world upside down. Blessed are the poor? Those who mourn? The week? This isn't what we're used to. We think that the rich and powerful are the blessed of God. So what is Jesus saying here?
Jesus is letting people know that God doesn't judge us by earthly standards. He isn't impressed by how big our houses are, he created the world. He isn't impressed by what brand of clothes you wear. He designed your skin, which is way cooler than Abercrombie. He isn't impressed with how cool you look to other people, he knows everything about you, even the bad stuff that you don't tell anyone else.
He is happy with us when our hearts are set on Him. When we don't think highly of ourselves. He wants us to want to be righteous. He wants us to want Him. He wants us to stick up for other people and take care of people who need help. He looks at the heart.
So if God looks at the heart, shouldn't you?
