Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Dinner Conversation: books

Lately I've read a string of books with the same theme: live your life based on the words of Jesus.

Weird by Craig Groeschel
Radical by David Platt
Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Weird. Radical. Crazy.
The various authors chose these words to describe living a biblical life.

They are challenging books to say the least. I must confess, the times I follow through on things I believe God has asked me to do I generally think or say out loud or profess to others involved... I know this is weird but...

What is it that makes the things of God seem weird, radical, and crazy? And I'm not just talking about the secular world. Even in church when people step out in faith living a biblical life they are labled as weird, radical, or crazy. Why?

Are we out of touch with God's Word?
Have we let the wisdom of the world seep into the church?
Do we see the Bible as words to live by or a playground for philosophical thought to entertain our brain?

I think God means for us to live by what He says. To eat His Words and to make them the center of our lives.

What about you?
What do you consider weird, radical, or crazy?
What did the world think about Jesus when He walked its surface?
What do you think about living His way today?

You might want to think about it...

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1Corinthians 1:18
