Give Me Mercy – June 23, 2016

Today’s Translation: The Message | Weekly Video: The Poor in Spirit (Matthew 5:3 | Luke 18:9-14)

“Meanwhile the tax man, slumped in the shadows, his face in his hands, not daring to look up, said, ‘God, give mercy. Forgive me, a sinner.’” – Luke 18:13 (MSG)

Live It Out!

None of us can ever live up to the standard God holds us to – but Jesus can and did. Jesus lived a perfect life, and His death paid the price for all of our sin. We must humble ourselves before God. We need mercy. We need forgiveness. We need a Savior. Don’t be proud of your perceived righteousness; be humbled by the great mercy shown to us on the cross.

Loved by God – June 8, 2016

Today’s Translation: Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video: United We Stand (John 17:20-26) “I am in them and You are in Me. May they be made completely one, so the world may know You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.” – John 17:23 (HCSB) Live It Out! When Jesus died on the cross for our sin, it was the ultimate act of love. Because we have been washed clean by the blood of Christ, our bodies are now God’s holy temple. Just as the Spirit filled Jesus to allow Him to do His ministry, the indwelling of the Spirit gives us everything we need to accomplish the work God has set before us. We must be one as Jesus and the Father are one by allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our steps each and every day. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/1t81ZEW via IFTTT
