In my life — God and His glory first.

With my substance and stuff — God and His glory first.

That’s my wish; that’s my commitment.

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.

God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints and do minister.

Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

Purposeful Injustice

For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

Mark 14:56

Reading:

Mark 14:43-59

“And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely” (Mark 14:44).

Do I think my loyalty to Jesus is a given — no circumstance exists in which I would become the next Judas?

What small betrayals do I overlook or excuse or mislabel?

Do I expect others to defend me and stand up for me — and resent them when they don’t?

When do I pursue my own interests…at the expense of justice?

How must I handle “those” who have witnessed falsely against me?

What must I do when I know someone is giving an inaccurate report about another?
