The Bartimaeus Blog 2022.40
For those who may not have heard, it has been a difficult time for some of our church family, so I wanted to start out by asking you to pray. Leann let me know last night that her mom was to go in for heart surgery. I understand from Linda that it went well. Pray for healing inside and out. Kimi has not been doing well. My understanding is that she is to see a cardiologist next and they are changing her medications. She would not be deterred from joining us last Sunday though. That’s the spirit we love!
If someone asked you to make a list of things that someone would go to Hell for, you could probably think of a few. The evil world around us supplies plenty of examples. Would you include mean words in that list? If you read Matthew 5:22, Jesus apparently did. I always thought that was kind of harsh, but what is He really saying? To put it in context, we need to read from verse 21 through 24 at minimum. The problem begins in our hearts, and if left unchecked, will lead to our destruction. We need to take action and do what we can to make things right. Above all, we need to have our own hearts right. Join us on Sunday as we ask, “Who you callin’ a fool?”
Love y’all!
