Monday's Meditation - February 28, 2011- The Giver's Love

It was February of 1999. For several months, I had shared a series of instructional thoughts on giving with my local church congregation just prior to the collection of the offering during Sunday worship service. As I sought the Lord for guidance concerning what to share for the upcoming Sunday, I was drawn to the spiritual symbolism embedded in our Valentine’s Day tradition. A clear and simple principle emerged. Love gives.

In today’s episode, we begin to affirm the importance of what the gift reveals, even though God is actually interested in more than the gift itself.

I invite you to receive Monday’s Meditation as “food for thought “ for the week, then let it become “fuel for action” for the weekend and beyond.

The full audio podcast is available on my website: morethanthegift.net and the iTunes Store. Links are provided in the "Additional Resources" section of this blog.

After listening to the podcast in the iTunes Store, I encourage you to offer a review and to send an invitation to a friend or loved one to listen also.

New Book - More Than Than The Gift -A Love Relationship

I ask for your prayers as I finalize the next book for publication. This book is based on the podcasts. While covering similar material as the workbook, it is organized to reveal how God is leading me to connect-the-dots. It is formatted as a devotional. I anticipate publication mid-to-late summer.

I asked Eddy Gordon to design a cover that was visually linked to the first book. He created something special. It moves me. I pray that it inspires you.

Internet Bible Study - Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13 - WHY DID SHE DO THAT? – A RESPONSE OF LOVE
The next examination of motive involves the Biblical account of Jesus’ visit to the house of Simon the Pharisee. In this account we see how those who receive and recognize the great mercy of God respond with great love. The woman’s response to Jesus illustrates that our love for God involves more than emotion, it involves action and that its natural expression is selfless giving.
Reference Scripture:
Luke 7:36 – 47 ( Simon the Pharisee and the sinful woman)
Supporting Scriptures:
Revelation 3:20 (I stand at the door and knock)
Ephesians 1:22&23 ( the church is the body of Christ)
