Luke 11:5-7 (KJV)
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Luke 11
Helping Only When It Is Convenient
How is it that people so often receive from the Father, but cannot give good gifts to others when it is not convenient to them?
Luke 11:33-36
Luke 11:33-36 (KJV)
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Luke 11:27,28
Luke 11:27,28 (KJV)
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
The Bible Leads Us To Christ
Both Jesus and the Bible are called the “Word of God”. You cannot even have one without the other. It would be incomplete.
Led By God Versus Yourself
Being led by God is much different than being led by your own self and hoping or thinking you are saved.
Living For The Will Of The Father
What you’ve once done for the Lord will mean nothing, if you are now living in habitual sin. You can’t say, Lord, but what about the mission trip I did 2 years ago.
Call Out The Lost
Proclaim the truth to the Lost , like Jesus. Approaching them is not hurtful but loving.
