i was thinking about this verse...
Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
i was thinking what my 'whole world' would be. i don't know that i came up with any conclusions. but it's interesting to think about what things would challenge God in my life. He should be number 1. but i know that most of the time, in practice, jenny is still number 1. but that's what i have to give. i have to give up jenny being number 1. coz that spot doesn't belong to me if i claim to be His.
1 John 1:5-10
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
i don't want the darkness. i want the light.
tangent... when do you use 'practice' and when do you use 'practise'?
Category: God stuffPractice is a noun.
"I went to sports practice."
Practise is a verb.
"I'm going to practise the piano now."
"I like practising my memory verses."
thanks!

Posted by: steve at March 13, 2005 03:12 PMYes, and your very place of consultation would be called your "practice".
I don't think doctors should "practise" on Jenny anymore. They should just give her a magic pill so that she stops being broken.
