Happy Valentine's Day: Martha, Mary and Lazarus

Today our Breathe readings take us to John 11:1-44.  Now I was reading this this morning and there are piles and piles of stuff here.  Loads and loads of it!

I think today though I was really struck by the friendship that Jesus had with Martha, Mary and Lazarus.  This trio of brother and two sisters were some of Jesus's closest friends, he would often stay at their house or pop in for a cup of tea.  

Baptism and the tangent that I went off on

Hi all,

Ah it is so lovely to have another sheet of Breathe readings to go through... last week I didn't know what to do with myself!

Has anyone else had this thing where they read the bible and then one little thing about the passage strikes them and then they go off on a tangent and forget the rest of the bible passage?

The Supernatural at Church

It was encouraging to hear a dynamic testimony to the power of God from a client on the healing prayer line last Sunday.

Meaning out of Meaningless

Over the last few weeks I have been asking for God's help for clarity (mind), passion (heart) and capacity (strength) regarding family and work issues present and future.

In prayer I felt directed to Ecclesiastes. I found much answer despite the opener by the Teacher...."Everything is meaningless" and  laughed with the line, a miserable business!

Breathe reading 7/12/2012

I am presuming this is a mistake and should be 'Ezra 3 v1-13'?
It's a good passage and makes me think of our building project.
Verse 11 - Nice one.

The poo, the fan and the naughty step

Hi all,

Do you know what, I am loving this whole Creation to Christ in 147 days thing. For the first time I am beginning to appreciate the different bits of the Bible actually in the context as it is written, rather than looking at the verses in isolation.
