Monday

Scripture lesson: Luke 7:31-35 God can't win

Time to reflect: People are really good at making excuses for not following God and doing what is right. In this paragraph Jesus points out that John was rejected for being so serious while he, Jesus, was being rejected for not being so serious. You can't win...

Moving Through The Day: What excuses do you give for not applying the teachings of the Bible to your life?

"To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
   " 'We played the flute for you,
      and you did not dance;
   we sang a dirge,
      and you did not cry.' For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by all her children."
