SPREAD THE “I LOVE YOU” VIRUS

May 10th – Capsule 10

TOPIC: SPREAD THE “I LOVE YOU” VIRUS

BIBLE TEXT: I give you a new commandment: love one another, just as I have loved you, you must also love one another – John 13 vs. 34

A deadly virus rocked the computer world a while ago. Millions logged on one morning to read their email, only to find their computers infected by a virus masquerading as the message, “I love you”. Whomever sent it was clever, they understood the tug of those words. After all, who could resist opening an email with that title?

Jesus told His disciples “By this all men will know that ye are My disciples, if you have love (Not doctrinal agreement) for one another” (John 13 vs. 35). We never lose our need to feel loved and appreciated. Never! Even when we act tough and put on a front. So, don’t act like the crusty old Irishman who said to his wife, “I told you I loved you, when I married you 50 years ago – and if it ever changes, I will let you know”.

Lower your guard. Open your heart. Take the time today to tell at least one person that you love them – and really mean it. You will be amazed at how good it will make you both feel.

“Love cures people; both the ones who give it, and the ones who receive it”


Prayer: Lord. Help me to be a practitioner of your Word, give me grace to love others.

Insight: Ask God to help you demonstrate love.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
