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: one body

The faithfulness of a few can impact the spiritual health of the whole body. A hard concept to swallow when you seem to be one of the few and there is no visibile benefit!

But, we can't see the effects on the heart when our legs walk or run... it's an "invisible" benefit. The legs are part of the same body, so their activity benefits the whole body. It can't not.

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts;
and though all its parts are many, they form one body.
So it is with Christ.
1Corinthinas 12:12

Those who faithfully answer God's call with obedience have an effect on the "heart" of the one chruch. Something happens where we can't see. It happens in the only place that really matters -- the spiritual realm -- the place of the eternal.

Through Christ, by way of the Spirit, we are one...

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9
