1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Time, Talent, and Treasure: These are sacred trusts, put into your hands by God. Let's make the most of the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to be adjusted in positive and life-giving ways as we lay each of these before the Lord for his scrutiny and direction.

Jonah 3:1-5, 10 Jonah disobeyed God, and this led to the near-death experience of being thrown into the sea and swallowed by a fish. But when he repented, as he was about to ask the citizens of Nineveh to do, and was obedient to God, then he discovered life for himself, and for the people of Nineveh.

2 Timothy 3:14-17

Luke 4:1-30 You might have a life moment choice, you might have a life style choice, or it might be a life purpose choice. The only way you can make the right choice is when you have the Holy Spirit filling you, empowering you and totally upon you. Today is the day to let your heart be filled with the Holy Spirit.
