Have I already mentioned Martha? I wonder was she trying just to impress Yeshua with her devotion to Him? Did she really think He liked people to keep their nose to the grindstone? In response to Martha's complaints about her apparently idle sister, Jesus quietly said, "Only one thing is needed" (Lk 10:42, NIV). He accepts only labors of love. Jesus had the total responsibility of world redemption on His mind, yet He never seemed worried about whether He was doing enough serving. He had time to let Mary sit as His feet – He did not keep jumping up, fretting about all the "important" things that had to be done.
The message I share is that the blessings of God are not given in proportion to our hard work, rather like Rachel being the reward for Jacob's seven years of hard work. It is easy for preachers to castigate people for what they do not do, because we are all human and show signs of it! So they are never short of material to criticize! But our imperfections are forgiven. When Yeshua asked, "What do you do more?" He was not cracking the whip. We do not have to go through agonies for God to be with us, work ourselves up into a sweat for God to keep His promise or strain every muscle to pull down Holy Spirit power.

We all get tempted, but we must overcome

The devil tempts us like he did Jesus but you have to overcome him like Jesus did. The devil tempted him with things to make him fall but he was unmoved. When the devil starts giving us thoughts we need to tell him that we rebuke him in the name Jesus Christ and tell him to get behind us. Everyone gets tempted on a daily basis and the devil doesn't care what age you are.

Luke 17:12-19 (KJV) And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Hi there. I'm here on the invitation of one of the admins here named Tamara. So many people have been warm and welcoming from the moment I signed up. However, I've had a tough time accepting it and here's why. I'm not sure I really "fit." Tamara in describing this place pretty much made it sound like a bunch of misfits, but looking around, it sure doesn't seem that way. Quite the opposite in fact. By way of explanation I'm going to include Tamara and my initial exchange. (This is being done with her permission.) In case you don't know, http://deviantart.com is a site where all sorts of "art" gets displayed. I happen to be a contributing artist doing artistic nude work. Here is the link to my page, but remember you've been forewarned.

A thought about what Obama may have learned when he met with all the former Presidents!!
Carter thought him how to SELL territory that belongs to the U.S.
Daddy Bush thought him how to NOT SEE a war though to the end.
Clinton thought him how to CHEAT on his wife and get away with it. And,
Bush, Jr. thought him how to LIBERATE a country instead of getting the one guy (Bin-Laden) that you said you were going to get.

After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the
end.
The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of
what I thought to be a court house.
The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the
defense table.
As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'
He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He
definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and
gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.
