***Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the Beirut Bombing.  Those of you who know me know that I was a 20 year Marine.  C 1/10 was in country supporting the peacemaking efforts.  Click the link below if you'd like to read about it.

Life is short.  We've heard the expression many times. Today, reading the local paper, I received another reminder, besides the Beirut Anniversary.  The sister of someone I dated in high school and later a neighbor, someone whose daughter played with my daughter, passed away recently at age 58.

Do not wait to tell someone you love them.  Don't wait in your attempts to set right a wrong.  Have you let personal pride get in the way of obedience to our Father in Heaven?

Romans 10:9-13King James Version (KJV)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Verse of the day:  Proverbs 23:23---buy the truth and sell it not;  also wisdom, and instruction and understanding. KJV

---The word definitions are clear.  However, I invite you to look at H4148 - instruction.  (Properly chastisement, reproof, warning, restraint, correction, doctrine, rebuke)  See appl remarks below...  

Application:  There is no such thing as an equipping phase in the Christian life.  Many spend years and years in the comfort of a Bible study or discipleship classes.  That's about as worthless as raising a child and never giving them an age/experience/ability related chore until they are out of college.  It's not scriptural...

***Be accountable to someone.  May your day be blessed.  Mike
