Most positive chapter in the Bible

Do you remember the movie, Rocky?    Every time I hear the theme music from Rocky, I get pumped up.  I want to hold my hands up in victory, just like Rocky.  

 

Today, I was jogging and listening to the audio Bible in my headphones, and I felt that same feeling of euphoria as I was listening to the verses being read from Romans chapter 8!    This has to be the most positive and uplifting chapter in the whole Bible!   Have you read some of the key verses in this chapter?  I don’t think I realized that all of these awesome verses were in the same chapter.    Here are a few that are in Romans 8:

 

Verse 1  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, ²

 

^{Verse 11} And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of^[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

 

¹⁸  I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

 

²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who^[i] have been called according to his purpose

 

³¹  What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

 

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

 

³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

WOW!  Did you know all of those great verses were in one chapter of the Bible?     See what I mean!  It’s the most positive chapter!  (If I’m wrong, and you know of a more positive chapter, let me know)  But in the meantime, throw your hands up in the air, like Rocky!  Woo Hoo!  These are some encouraging verses to get you through today!

Daily prayer of Mother Teresa

Dear Jesus,

Help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go.

Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love.

Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may
only be a radiance of Thine.

Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact
with may feel Thy presence in my soul.

Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus.

Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to
shine as to be a light to others.

~ Mother Teresa

Things we'll wish we'd done differently

Hey, it's me...The Diceman. This article really challenged me today.
http://www.relevantmagazine.com/life/whole-life/5-things-millennials-will-wish-theyd-done-differently

Why Jesus is better than Santa

Why Jesus is Better than Santa


Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited JESUS stands at your door
and knocks.. and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa JESUS is as close as the
mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or
girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He
knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even
knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry" JESUS says "Cast all your cares on
me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys JESUS makes new life, mends
wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree JESUS became our gift and
died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO
Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back into Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

old drummer boy?
