51 days down, 314 to go.

Today’s scriptures for my Read the Bible in a Year plan are Leviticus 9:7– 10:20; Mark 4:26 – 5:20; Psalms 37:30-40; Proverbs 10:6-7.

My thoughts from today’s reading:

1. DEAL WITH YOUR OWN ISSUES FIRST

2. THE POWER OF STORIES – Ancient parables, modern movies – The Passion of the Na’vi

1. DEAL WITH YOUR OWN ISSUES FIRST
No one likes a hypocrite, especially a religious one – they guy that rails on someone for their sins, while they’re secretly doing the same thing, or something just as bad. This goes without saying, so I won’t dwell on that.

But what about the people who aren’t necessarily boldfaced hypocrites?

None of us will ever be prefect on this side of heaven, but thankfully, we don’t have to be perfect and without sin to help someone through their sin.

But we do have to have our hearts in the right place with God before we can really be used to help other people.

In Leviticus 9:15, Aaron the priest offers sacrifice for the people only AFTER he has offered sacrifice for his own sin.
