CALVARY REFLECTIONS Reflecting on God's Word Reflecting God to the World January 15, 2017 Thanks!   Thank you to the LORD for keeping us safe through the snow/ice storm last week.     Bible Reading   Feel free to use this chart to help you read through the New Testament. It's only 1 chapter a day for 5 days a week.   Day Reading Monday Mark 11 Tuesday Mark 12 Wednesday Mark 13 Thursday Mark 14 Friday Mark 15   Mark 11:15 marks the 2nd time Jesus clears the temple. The people should have learned the lesson the 1st time (recorded in John 2). Mark 12:13 is interesting. They asked Jesus if they should pay taxes or not? The Herodians were for Rome and paying taxes. The Pharises were anti-Rom and didn't want to pay taxes. Mark 12:28 – Essentially the questions was: Of the 248 precepts and 365 laws, which 1 is the greatest? Mark 14:26 – The hymn that they sang after the Last Supper was probably Psalms 115-118, which were sung after the Passover Meal. Mark 10:19 – "Do not defraud" is not in the 10 commandments, but it's a corollary to not stealing and not lying.   Announcements     Youth Committee The Youth Committee will meet today at 4:30pm.   Tonight!

Thanks!

 

Thank you to the Holiday Committee for decorating the sanctuary in December and for taking the decorations down.

 

Sunday Morning Extra!

 

With church canceled, perhaps you and your family spend a few minutes to read Psalm 29 and Matthew 3:13-17 and sing a hymn as your family devotion.

 

Psalm 29 - http://ow.ly/gZUM307Myr9

Matt. 3:13-17 - http://ow.ly/rRk3307MysD

Hymn - "I Saw the Light / I'll Fly Away" - http://ow.ly/LeeX307Mzdo

Tuesday	Mark 7

·         Mark chapter 6 includes a flashback.  

·         Mark 7:11 – By declaring it "Corbon," they were saying that they earmarked it for the LORD. However, they weren't required to use it for the LORD. So, this false promise of using the money for the LORD was often used to get out of financial obligations.

·         Mark 10:19 – "Do not defraud" is not in the 10 commandments, but it's a corollary to not stealing and not lying.

How to Read the Bible*:

 

Read is daily, not as a newspaper, but as a letter from your Heavenly Father – as a letter from home.

When a cluster of Heavenly fruit hangs within your reach, gather it.

When a promise lies upon its pages as a blank check, cash it.

When a prayer is recorded, appropriate it and launch it as a feathered arrow from the bow of your desire.

When an example of holiness gleams before you, ask God to do as much for you.

When the truth of Christ is revealed in all its intrinsic splendor, entreat that His glory and beauty may ever irradiate the hemisphere of your life.

(*Yes, this is repeated from last week. However, this is appropriate since we are starting a new reading through the Bible.)
