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

a last thought on service...

As I prepare for the mission with youth... gathering up paper... pens... on which to write thoughts... I find a Word... that needs to be tucked in my heart... for such a week...

For you were called to freedom, brothers.
Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh,
but through love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13
ESV

Freedom... an opportunity to serve others...

And scrawled below this verse... was a definition...

serve... the Greek meaning... to be a slave... serve... do service...

To serve... with love... free to enslave oneself to the needs of others... is the only way... to serve...with joy... and without complaining... or grumbling...

Lord Jesus... here's to a week... of service... through love... and with joy... this is only possible through the freedom found in You... help me to walk in that freedom...
