I have good things to say about Phoebe, who is a leader in the church at Cenchreae. 2 Welcome her in a way that is proper for someone who has faith in the Lord and is one of God?s own people. Help her in any way you can. After all, she has proved to be a respected leader for many others, including me.
Interesting a woman leader of a church ...

Please Others and Not Yourself
15 If our faith is strong, we should be patient with the Lord?s followers whose faith is weak. We should try to please them instead of ourselves. 2 We should think of their good and try to help them by doing what pleases them. 3 Even Christ did not try to please himself. But as the Scriptures say, "The people who insulted you also insulted me." 4 And the Scriptures were written to teach and encourage us by giving us hope. 5 God is the one who makes us patient and cheerful. I pray that he will help you live at peace with each other, as you follow Christ. 6 Then all of you together will praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wednesday, August 24 - Romans 14
"7 Whether we live or die, it must be for God, rather than for ourselves. 8 Whether we live or die, it must be for the Lord. Alive or dead, we still belong to the Lord. 9 This is because Christ died and rose to life, so that he would be the Lord of the dead and of the living. 10 Why do you criticize other followers of the Lord? Why do you look down on them? The day is coming when God will judge all of us. 11 In the Scriptures God says,
'I swear by my very life that everyone will kneel down and praise my name!' 12 And so, each of us must give an account to God for what we do. "
What ever you do ... do it for the Lord ... sometimes I think we forget everything we do we should be doing it for the Lord ...

21 They know about God, but they don’t honor him or even thank him. Their thoughts are useless, and their stupid minds are in the dark.

Visions from the Lord
12 I have to brag. There is nothing to be gained by it, but I must brag about the visions and other things that the Lord has shown me. 2 I know about one of Christ�s followers who was taken up into the third heaven fourteen years ago. I don�t know if the man was still in his body when it happened, but God certainly knows.
3 As I said, only God really knows if this man was in his body at the time. 4 But he was taken up into paradise, where he heard things that are too wonderful to tell. 5 I will brag about that man, but not about myself, except to say how weak I am.

Monday, August 1 - 2 Corinthians 8
7 You do everything better than anyone else. You have stronger faith. You speak better and know more. You are eager to give, and you love us better. Now you must give more generously than anyone else.
I wish I was talked about like that from others...
