Peace, Anger and Discipline

I Corinthians 1:10 says:

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

As we continue our devotional series this week, we are reminded by author Jack Countryman that when anger and discord become a regular visitor in our homes, there will not be a place for peace in our families.  Peace and anger are like oil and water – they do not mix!

Peace will walk out the backdoor when anger becomes a regular visitor.  The family is called to be of one mind and one spirit. The father’s role is to make sure this is the mindset inside the home.  The spiritual leadership in the home and the unity between parents and guardians ALL contribute to the family’s balance.

As leaders in the home, whether we are male or female, we must accept God’s role and create a bond of love than cannot be broken.

Just like promoting and nurturing peace, handling discipline is also our responsibility. Still, discipline and correction do not come easy to a loving parent.

But Proverbs 22:15 says:

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
    but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.

If we love our children, we discipline them promptly.  We all need correction many times in life, and our children need to learn what is acceptable in life.  We don’t want them to go down the wrong path and end up at the wrong destination.  Our firm, loving hand today will be a building block for tomorrow.

Thanks for listening!

Lifeline’s Eve…

Today Todd decided to call today “Lifeline’s Eve…” which, while unique, is defiintely TRUE!

Lifeline 2019 starts tomorrow on WNZR, and we are excited to hear from you during our annual day of Prayer and Praise.

Today our first Game Time Tuesday contest was Song Poetry…the lyrics are:

“Was I love when no one else would show up,
was I Jesus to the least of those?
Was my worship more than just a song?”

The answer was Live Like That by Sidewalk Prophets – congratulations to Kim from Mount Vernon who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Our Name That Tune featured song was a STUMPER!  We’ll tackle that one next week.

Praise God that He moves…despite us!

God IS on the move – that’s not up for debate!  It’s a truth we can rest in.  What we have to realize is that God will move despite us…so it’s a theme that reminds us not to get in the way or clog up what He is doing.

BUT…even though we know He moves despite us, we still should ask Him to move – our prayers and requests should be asking the Holy Spirit to move in and around us.

How do we get in the way?

One way is that we fail to embrace to fruits of the spirit – the very things we ask for that we fail to do ourselves.

Do we love well?                                                         Or get bogged down in hate?

Do we choose joy?                                                      Or choose grumpy?

Do we promote peace?                                              Or spread and promote conflict?

Do we demonstrate patience?                                  Or fly off the handle?

Do we offer kindness?                                               Or are we offering indifference?

Do we seek goodness?                                                Or seeking the negative and critical?

Do we ground ourselves in faith?                            Or trust our own understanding?

Do we embrace gentleness?                                       Or are we rough around the edges?

Do we embody self-control?                                       Or is it anything goes?

What about things like forgiveness? Think about this: if God forgave you like you forgive others, where would you be?

Is it more about Him?  Or more about us?

These are challenges for us to consider moving forward…

Thanks for listening!

Collegiate Prayer, Kindness and Comfort

Today is the Collegiate Day of Prayer around the United States – we would LOVE for you to join us in praying for students, faculty and staff here at Mount Vernon Nazarene University.  Click here for more about it!

In our devotional “Time With God for Fathers,” by Jack Countryman, we’re looking at verses about kindness and comfort today.

A father, or parent for that matter, with a kind and tender heart can be a magnet to those he loves. Everyone craves love and encouragement. Kindness builds  confidence, security and trust for those around you.  We can reflect God’s kindness with those in our circle of family and mentorship.

Matthew 7:9-11…9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

The phrase “the God of all comfort” in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 is encouraging.  It helps us remember that God will always come to our aid – it is His promise for those who follow Christ. He will see us through the trials we are facing.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any [a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our [b]consolation also abounds through Christ.

Thanks for listening!

Space – The Who Knew Topic!

Today Todd and I shared some fun facts about space – why?  Well, because Todd’s taking Astronomy this semester and I just got hooked on the new CBS Star Trek series, Discovery.

Here are those things you can use to impress your friends:

THERE MAY BE LIFE ON MARS. Of all the planets in our solar system (apart from Earth), Mars is the one most likely to be hospitable to life. In 1986, NASA found what they thought may be fossils of microscopic living things in a rock recovered from Mars.

THERE IS A VOLCANO ON MARS THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF MOUNT EVEREST.

At 600 km wide and 21 km high, Olympus Mons is a volcano on Mars that may still be active, according to scientists. It is the tallest peak of any planet. However, the Rheasilvia central peak on the asteroid Vesta is taller at 22 km.

A FULL NASA SPACE SUIT COSTS $12,000,000.

While the entire suit costs a cool $12 million dollars, 70% of that cost is for the backpack and control module.

THERE MAY BE A PLANET MADE OUT OF DIAMONDS.

As space facts go, this is pretty impressive. Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e — which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater – may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer.

IF TWO PIECES OF THE SAME TYPE OF METAL TOUCH IN SPACE THEY WILL PERMANENTLY BOND.

This incredible fact is also known as cold welding and it happens because the atoms of two pieces of metal have no way of knowing they are separate. This doesn’t happen on Earth because of the air and water found between the pieces.

Thanks to theplanets.org for the OUT OF THIS WORLD information!

Today’s trivia was (Family Feud style) – Name something an astronaut might see outside the window of the international space station.

The top answers were: 1- Earth (29 votes) 2- the Moon (26) 3- the sun (14) 4- an alien (11) T5- a shuttle (4) and Mars (4) T6- a satellite (3) 8- astronaut (3) 9- a comet (3)

Congratulations to Juanita from Mount Vernon who won the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley! Thanks for listening!
