Common Sense Reborn

June 14

⁹Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  ¹⁰Be devoted to one another in love.  Honor one another above yourselves.  ¹¹Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.   ¹²Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.  ¹³Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.  (Romans 12:9-13)

This paragraph above could easily be broken into five separate verses to study.  They are each critically important to teaching us how to be better Christians.  Love must be sincere…  Hate what is evil and cling to what is good.  We definitely could work on that as Americans.  Be DEVOTED to one another in LOVE.  Honor one another above yourselves!  Never be lacking in your excitement for God, but remain passionate for serving God.  Be joyful and patient in your hard times in life, and always seek guidance through prayer.  Share with those who are in need.  And lastly, practice hospitality always!  I tell you what, if we could just get all this down, what a wonderful world this would be.  So what is stopping us?

Tomorrow we wrap up Romans in our reading plan, but there’s still many great verses to study in the coming days.  I pray these verses find you and take hold of your hearts and lives.

Reading plan:  Romans 14

Deeper reading plan: Psalms 119

Prayer and meditation:  Pray for our country.  Pray for love to conquer all.  Pray that Christ infects our hearts and ignites a final fire of revival to sweep this land.

Fitness challenge:  Rest

Worship:  Spend today in prayer and worship.  Get to church or get to a computer and watch church.  America needs a revival like never before.
