Welcome to our new M&M blog! This is a closed blog, meaning that only "invited" attendees can participate. We have set it up this way in order to allow everyone to feel comfortable sharing openly without worrying who on the world-wide-web might be watching. We also have a closed Facebook group! If you are on Facebook and would like to be a part of that group, please let me know so I can add you as a friend and invite you.
My dear friend Michelle found the link to a YouTube video that Barb referred to in one of the M&M classes this week. In this video, John Piper quotes scripture from memory for a solid 16 minutes. He then preaches on the importance of scripture memorization. If you have some time, you should check it out here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOkLP6VHtWk&feature=youtu.be
As we work on our first verse for this week, "God Makes a Promise" (Jeremiah 32:38, 40, 41), put a copy of it by your bed and read it first thing before you get out of bed each morning. Soon you will have it memorized and you can lie there, with eyes still closed, and quote it to God and yourself. Note that God Himself uses the words "with all my heart and soul". Amazing love! How can it be?
Please post your comments below and share any experiences you may have had this week or any encouragement you'd like to pass along.
Have a great week!

#1 GOD MAKES A PROMISE
JEREMIAH 32:38,40,41
They will be my people, and I will be their God...I will make an
everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good
to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will
never turn away from me. I will rejoice in doing them good
and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart
and soul.
Marion Merry sent me a sweet thought for this week. She said. "...I have been blessed with the Lord awakening me earlier than usual to arise and be with Him. The phrase "his banner over me is love" added to this and I have feasted at his table with him. Precious.
ReplyDeleteMarion" Amen to that!
