How Passionate Is Our Love for the Lord?

Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When I was a little boy and I found something that didn’t belong to me, I’d say, “Finders keepers, losers weepers!” 

But do you know what the apostle Paul said? “Keepers weepers, losers finders.” 

He said, “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Philippians 3:7). 

Religion does not save us. Jesus saves us. And He’s calling us to not only turn from our sins, but to turn from our righteousness.

ACTION POINT:
What are you holding onto in your life that brings you security? Let it go to the glory of God! You can trust Him to provide for all your needs.

RULES OF THE ROAD:

1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.

This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
