Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. ³So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

¹¹But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

his deeds to the people of Israel."

While God made known his miracles and deeds to the Israelites, he revealed who He was to Moses.

That's passion for God!

Moses understood that without God's presence, anything he did would be futile.]]> 2021-09-11 01:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732083105 Psalm 27:4 hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732084023 One thing I ask from the Lord,

to him was the Lord Jesus, whose followers he had been persecuting. Once corrected, Paul had a complete change in conviction and purpose. His zeal was redirected to serve God and his people.]]> 2021-09-11 01:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732092228 Philippians 3:7-10 hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732094213 "⁷But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ ⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. ¹⁰I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death."

Paul wrote all these when he was suffering in prison!]]> 2021-09-11 01:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732094213 Moses lived for 120 years. hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732098151 Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.]]> 2021-09-11 01:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732098151 But here's the most impressive thing: hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732100812 Nearly 30 years after his conversion, after Paul had been greatly used by God and had founded numerous churches, he wrote that he was still seeking to know Christ more, and that compared to knowing Christ, all his accomplishments were like garbage!]]> 2021-09-11 01:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732100812 No one, apart from Jesus himself, played a bigger role in shaping the history of Christianity than Paul. hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732102566 2021-09-11 01:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732102566 3 separate occasions where Mary showed her complete devotion to Jesus. hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732104533 2021-09-11 01:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732104533 Luke 10:38-42 - Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha hengzhengkai https://padlet.com/hengzhengkai/evkpmo9pt69vy0du/wish/1732105953 ³⁸As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. ³⁹She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. ⁴⁰But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

⁴¹“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, ⁴²but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

³³When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. ³Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

⁴But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, ⁵“Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” ⁶He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

⁷“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. ⁸You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
