The Vineyard
I am the vine; you
are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much
fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
I
Peter 4:1-19
- Peter
refers to the fact that “the time that is past suffices for doing what the
Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality,
passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.” What have you wasted your time on in the
past? How will you ensure that you don’t
waste the present, and the future on similar sinful or superficial things?
- We
see that we should use the present time to love, speak and serve. Who is really behind each of these
actions? What enables us to love, speak,
and serve as we should?
- If
we are to endure suffering, how should we endure it? Whom should we be serving?
Camp
& VBS
- Take
time to say a special prayer for the plans that are being made for both camp
and VBS, as well as for the workers who will be giving of their time, energy,
and talents in both efforts.
- Also,
say a special prayer for the kids and teens involved in VBS and camp. Pray that God will use those times to build
up their faith, and increase their knowledge of who Jesus is, and how they can
best serve him in their lives.
