One Another

Following is a message from Mardy Freeman detailing how she used truth from scripture to help her marriage. I believe this idea is applicable for relationships in general. It looks like a good one to use with my kids! :)
Blessings,

Hello Friends,

I was sharing w/a wife this month about a time in our my marriage when I wasn't doing so well and needed help. I didn't have any mentors to call, so I ended up looking up all the "one another" verses in the New Testament. One another verses tell us how God wants us to treat one another. I then replaced the words "one another" with my husband's name to remind me how the Lord wanted me to treat him as my brother in Christ. Ouch. I came up short.

But, those truths began working on my hard heart sort of like a spiritual meat mallet pounding, pounding, pounding my toughness into submission. I didn't like looking at them, but they gave me an anchor of truth at a difficult time in our marriage.

I thought I would share them with you before tomorrow's meeting. You can copy and paste these for your own use, or just go to www.biblegateway.com and put "one another" in the search window as I did.

For example, in the following verse:

John 15:12"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you."

I changed it to:

John 15:12"This is My commandment, that you love Bill, just as I have loved you."

We have one more marriage testimony to share, so look for it tomorrow!

Love, Mardy

Free museum admission on 9/27/08

The Smithsonian is sponsoring "Museum Day" on Saturday, September 27, 2008. See link for details including participating locations. You MUST download and print the card on the site for each member of your household, up to a maximum of two (in our case, we'd get the two free admissions for the adults and pay only the reduced child rates).

The Truth Project

We were told at choir last night that our church will be participating in this worldview study so I looked at the info available online & thought that this FAQ providing a general overview could be useful for all of us.

http://www.thetruthproject.org/

Lesson 1 - Veritology: What is Truth?

The Truth Project begins by defining truth as "that which corresponds to reality." This absolute and eternal truth, at the heart of Jesus' mission on earth, continues to be the focal point of the Cosmic Battle in our own time.

Lesson 2 - Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?

Truth is not simply an academic concept. The way we think about truth has a direct bearing upon the way we live our lives. What's more, our understanding of right and wrong is directly dependent on our worldview: is the universe God's creation or a closed cosmic cube?

Lesson 3 - Anthropology: Who is Man?

The Bible tells us that man was created in God's image but fell from innocence through sin. Modern psychology, on the other hand, asserts that man is inherently good and behaves badly only under the influence of social or institutional pressure. This lesson explores the implications of both views.

Lesson 4 - Theology: Who is God?

Eternal life, according to Jesus, is knowing God in an intimate, personal, and relational way. Such knowledge, which is possible only because of divine revelation, transforms us from the inside out as we begin to see ourselves in the light of His majesty and holiness.

Lesson 5 - Science: What is True? (two-part lesson)

(Part One): Science, the "systematic study of the natural world," brings to light innumerable evidences of Intelligent Design. But Darwinian theory transforms science from the honest investigation of nature into a vehicle for propagating a godless philosophy.

(Part Two): A careful examination of molecular biology and the fossil record demonstrates that evolution is not a "proven fact." Meanwhile, history shows that ideas, including Darwinism as a social philosophy, have definite consequences – consequences that can turn ugly when God is left out of the picture.

Lesson 6 - History: Whose Story?

Does the past have an objective actuality and significance? Or does it, as postmodernist philosophy asserts, exist primarily inside our heads? This tour considers the meaning of history as God’s story and shows us why remembering is so important.

Lesson 7 - Sociology: The Divine Imprint

The order we observe in the natural realm is even more apparent in the social systems God has established: family, church, community, state, labor, and the union between God and man. Life is a series of relationships that flow out of and reflect the Trinitarian nature of the Creator.

Lesson 8 - Unio Mystica: Am I Alone?

Is it possible for the infinite, eternal Creator to dwell within the heart of an individual? The implications of this great mystery, which represents the very core of the Christian faith, are explored at length in this examination of the most intimate of the social spheres.

Lesson 9 - The State: Whose Law?

Of all the social spheres, the state, to which God grants the power of the sword for the punishment of evil and the preservation of the good, has the greatest potential to go awry if it oversteps its authority. The civil magistrate must always remember his place under the sovereignty of God – otherwise, havoc will ensue.

Lesson 10 - The American Experiment: Stepping Stones

America is unique in the history of the world. On these shores a people holding to a biblical worldview have had an opportunity to set up a system of government designed to keep the state within its divinely ordained boundaries. Tour #10 follows the history of this experiment and explores what happens to freedom when God is forgotten.

Lesson 11 - Labor: Created to Create

Contrary to a great deal of contemporary popular opinion, work is not a "curse." God Himself is active and creative, and He calls man to share in the joy of His activity and creativity. Labor, economics, media, and the creative arts all have a role to play in magnifying the glory of the Creator.

Lesson 12 - Community and Involvement: God Cares, do I?

The ethical law and the meaning of the Christian life are summed up in the commandment to love God and one's neighbor. This command is the source of the believer's motivation for self-sacrificial service to the needy and their personal involvement in our culture.

Hey, I found this cute vocabulary game; it's fun and might also be useful if you (or a child) is studying for a standardized test. I know it has to do with the U.N.>>>blecchh! Warning: it's pretty addictive, at least for me. I got up to level 45, but hovered most of the time around 43. Do you think the scale goes to 100? I can't imagine... Cheers!

We liked that the site will pronounce the words.
We wished they used correct words in a sentence!
