Do something

Our Daily Bread
There is a song by Matthew West called Do Something. Here is the video.

Doesn't this song sound very cool when put into context of Matthew 25:31-40?

Check out the Matthew passage, then watch the video. Yes, more homework for this week (see below).

Lord, you made us to be doers of your Word, not just hearers only.

Teaching Tuesday
We had an interesting lesson about belief last night in EFM. In short, we talked about the gap in integrating belief, behavior and doctrine in our multicultural world.  Very interesting stuff.

We asked ourselves a few questions based on the article:
What do I believe?
How do I believe?
Who do I believe?
How do I experience my belief?

At the end, we were asked to write a collect (a prayer) to express our beliefs.
Dear God...            (naming of God's aspects)
You ...                    (connect situation of the image to that aspect)
We pray that...       (petition of our hearts)
So that......              (result we desire)
Amen.

Here is mine:
Dear God of he Old Testament and the New Testament, of silence and experiences, of peace and justice,
You draw us closer if we let you.
We pray that we are open to your Holy Spirit
So you can fulfill your purposes in us.
Amen

Think about these things this week. Try writing your own collect.

If you can take it, you can make it (from the movie Unbroken). I prefer to say, "If you forsake it, He will take it".
