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
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

James 1: thoughts... part 2

Read James 1

The life cycle of death...

...each person is tempted... by his own evil desires...
after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin...
when sin is fully grown,
it gives birth to death.
James 1:14-15
HCSB

Our natural desires... give birth only to death...

desire... sin... death...

The state of all mankind... since the Fall... the result of rebellion against the Creator... the Father of lights...

By His own choice,
He gave us a new birth
by the message of truth...
James 1:18
HCSB

A new birth... one that leads to life eternal... an undoing of death... a grace undeserved... a love beyond understanding...

What kind of God... makes a way... for rebellious creatures... to be redeemed...?

One worth serving... One worth giving your life to...
