 Today's Thought:

The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. (Psa 92:12-13; Rom 12:1-2; 1Pet 4:10; Php 1:11)

 Today's Thought:

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. (John 8:32; Rom 6:17-18; Gal 5:1; 1Pet 2:16; Rom 6:13; Heb 2:1; Pro 23:23)
