A thought from my quiet time this morning. I’m reading and enjoying “Because We Love Him” by (Clyde Cranford). In it a line, “In our society we see very little of this [suffering for Christ's sake] because Christians are so much like the world.”
Ouch.
He’s right. The church today – but more importantly >> I am < < much more like the world than I care to be.
Lord, set me apart, for your Glory.

‘Those who eat lots of family dinners are almost twice as likely to get A’s in school as their classmates who rarely eat as a family.’
This post was simply me reposting a quote from Albert Mohler. With that in mind, I’ll get off line and go tickle my children.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Isn’t this why we are wrong too? When we error biblically or perhaps in life, it is because we don’t know the Scriptures nor the power of God.

So I am reading this:
Matthew 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Mathew Henry’s Concise Commentary (free e-sword plug-in) had this thought:
But of how little value is the applause of the people! The changing multitude join the cry of the day, whether it be Hosanna, or Crucify him. Multitudes often seem to approve the gospel, but few become consistent disciples.
True.
