PASSAGE: The Weak and the Strong
MEMORY VERSE: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord; "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
NOTES: (v.1) "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters."
-(v.4) "Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master, he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand."
-(v.8-10) "If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we died to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord....You, then, why do you judge your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat."
-(v.15) Memory verse review: "If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died."
-(v.17) "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men."
ACT OF LOVE: Today, my act of love began as encouraging the people on my AIM buddy list. BUT THEN I THOUGHT....why be limited to just AIM? Why not FACEBOOK? So I went on Facebook and started encouraging people through Facebook chat and wall posts. I kept doing it (with breaks and such) until about 2am-ish, haha. At first, some people didn't believe that it was me or thought that I had gotten hacked when I encouraged them ahahaa. It sort of reminded me of the facebook like status thing that I did previously, except that the encouragements today were SPONTANEOUS AND UNEXPECTED. And shoutout to MATT WHANG who made it his own act of love by encouraging a new Sunday School counselor that was still adjusting. I was super encouraged by his encouragement to someone else! It motivated me to encourage and voice my appreciation for the staff and counselors of BOL who often put forth unnoticed efforts. YAY!
