Bible verse for this weekend
|
Hi Reader, I'm working on writing a book with my parents. It's a 50-day devotional about their travels to all 50 states in the USA. A while back, when I was working on the devotion for the state of Alaska, I was looking at some Bible verses appropriate for that devotion. The theme is change. I came across the verse below (which I remember I sent in an email last year to all of you who were on my list then)... "This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more; that you will have knowledge and understanding with your love; that you will see the difference between good and bad and choose the good; that you will be pure and without wrong for the coming of Christ; that you will be filled with the good things produced in your life by Christ to bring glory and praise to God."
(Philippians 1:9-11 ICB version)
Are you up for a brief challenge?
Here's the challenge: --Read the verse one more time. --Ask yourself: What do you need help with right now so that you "choose the good"? Thanks for being part of my reader community. John Christopher Frame p.s. for anyone who hasn't checked out my first book, Homeless at Harvard, I saw the ebook version discounted on Amazon.com (USA) for $2.99. Not sure how long it will stay that price, though. It's available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

Hi Reader, When I was a boy, I’ll never forget stopping at the Field of Dreams movie site during a summer vacation with my parents. Credit: Giphy Field of Dreams is a great movie starring Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones, with an important theme of reconciliation. In the 50-day devotional book I wrote with my parents about their travels to all 50 states (coming out very soon!), one of the devotions is about our time at the Field of Dreams. Here it is...
