Scripture: 1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Scripture: Romans 3:21-24
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Scripture: Daniel 3
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Wrecked.
That’s what God is doing to me while preparing for this upcoming series. When I’ve been reading You and Me Forever or watching the videos, I can hear the Lord trying to get through. There’s so many things distracting me about marriage. So many things that tell you “Focus on yourself.” or “Focus on now.”
But I can hear the still small voice trying to break through all of my selfishness and my cultural norms. The voice that says, “There’s more two life than two Hondas, a dog and an open concept home.” Do we really believe the word of God? Do we really believe in the WORD of God, Jesus? Are we willing to change our lives and have them changed because of what we He has done?
I’m so thankful for people like Francis and Lisa Chan who so clearly remind us, that this ain’t it. Eternity awaits. We have an opportunity to lay up treasure in heaven now, but will we do it?
Tonight I watched this video and it almost did me in. It’s 13 minutes long. But you’ve got to watch it to the end – and I mean to the very end. Are you living for selfish pleasure or living to find your pleasure in seeking the Kingdom?
My Devotions today were from Matthew 25. I’ve read that passage a hundred times. But it never stops convicting me and encouraging me to passionately pursue what’s important. If you get the opportunity to read the book or attend our series, I hope that you will let the Lord speak. That for just a little bit you’ll set aside yourself and ask God to change your heart.
Who knows, maybe, just maybe, He will.
Come join us on Sunday Mornings at 10:30!

Scripture: Ruth 4
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
