CONGRATULATIONS!! Faithful Devotioners! I am so excited about the day we will be having today... It will start out with Blizzard Beach, then Dinner, then Downtown Disney in the evening and dont forget, we are going to go catch the late night showing of "WALL*E". That is just proof that we Reward our faithful teenagers!!

If you are not on the trip today, dont fear! We will be doing other stuff like this in the near future! So get involved and stay faithful!!

Just a Thought From Yesterday:

KERVIN AND MARVIN!!! HOW WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU GUYS ON HERE!! THANKS FOR JOINING US!!!! :)

On to the devotions: (By the way, we will be doing the devotions on the trip today, so don't think that we are skipping out!)

John 9:35-41

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”
38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

This is a great passage that explains that when we trust in our selves, we are blinded by our lifestyle!! I think of the wonderful song: Amazing Grace. I once was blind but now I see... If someone fails to acknowledge that they are blind then they will never see who Christ is and what He has done for them.

The Pharisees were blinded by their sin of unbelief. Do you believe God, or are you often times blinded by sin just like the pharisees?

with sin in our lives, we can't even see our hand infront of our face, but when Jesus comes into our lives He becomes the Light in the darkness allowing us to see.


We just need to trust in God and not in man, He will light the way for us to see and follow.

ooo ooo ooo...i think i said sumthin like this the other day!
About them bein "blind" & couldn't see what was directly infront of them, while the LITERALLY blind man "saw" everythin cuz he believed...

Sometimes we're SOOO consumed in our own sin that we just as the Pharasies don't see the truth cuz we're cunsumed by darkness & not consumed by Christ(the light)

So since they're focusin on their sin & not on Christ, they're not gonna "see" the truth...

Basically, we gotta believe like the once blind man, & we can see all we need 2...

&its true that when we focus on ourselves, things don't seem 2 go so right...

&i have DEFINATLY noticed, that sice i've focus & consumed myself w/the Lord, I "see" everythin & i'm SOOO much happier & at peace w/myself &EVERYTHIN around me...
I've even had my friend change all my myspace stuff 2better things(i cant get on so she does it 4 me=])
she's still got a few blogs 2 get rid of(poems)...then it'll b A.O.K

PASTOR LEE WAS SOOO RIGHT, 4 SOOO many reasons...1]only Christ can give u TRUE comfort &peace if u FOCUS on him...2]Tht when u DO...it IS the most amazing thing, & he'll continue 2 bless u=]

k...im goin home any min now & i gotta go take care of my neoghbors animals & clean...thenmy dentist apt.

red head said...

well i think that we are blinded by our sin and sometimes we can't see our sin unless some else points it out and like pastor lee said that amazing grace great example once blind but now i see

I think that if we don't believe in Him we won't be able to see the right from the wrong and will feel lonely for the rest our lives no matter how much company you have. When people start believing in him they will feel much better.

I think the fog of sin that can surround you can be so thick sometimes that you won't realize what terrible mistakes you've made until you hit rock bottom. Depending on ourselves and those around us for every single thing we desire won't do any good because nothing can be accomplished without God. God has prepared a path for our lives and until we put our whole trust in Him we'll just be bombarded with sin and opportunities to do wrong, but when we find Jesus He'll make the path for our lives as clear as a brand new window.

He came so the blind may see, and those who see will become blind.

He came to be justice, so the people who were blind from sin can open their eyes and see the truth of how fruitful their lives can be with Jesus as their savior,

He came to show the people who said they weren't blind, that they are lost, until they know the truth, because he cannot show them the truth if they refuse to see it, therefor he came to show them how blind they truly are.

Jesus is amazing, he shows mercy to the weak, and justice to the hypocrites who try to destroy the word of God, but he doesn't end them, he tries to be patient, he shows encouragement to both, because he truly loves everyone equally, even though when the time comes he will surely lay down judgment to those who will blasphemy the holy spirit and refuse the word of God, and Jesus.

He gives us infinite patience and that is something I find so amazing!!!!

It also goes to show you the strength of the 'tongue' because that is all Jesus uses, to try to explain people the truth, just his words, of course his actions, by living a pure and sinnless life, but he doesn't raise a hand against, he doesn't argue with people, he listens, tells, and then
moves on, being patient with everyone equally, but not getting bogged down by people refusing him,

Like we as people often do, when people refuse us, we get bogged down, and depressed, or violent, or angry, or argumentative. How truly amazing to have that kind of patience!

civilization!sweet sweet sivilization! in case you all did not know i have been out on a private beach for the past week talk about your primitive camping(like no shower or lights or any thing)just me and about 10 other people out in the middle of the ocean in a little cottage[so fun] but i still wish i colod have gone with you guys to orlando well have fun anyway!

Amy :) said...

The first thing is that whenever we talked about this last night i was really tired and i was trying to comprehend it in my mind but it was really hard so I'll try my best and take a shot at this!

Amazing Grace is like the most perfectest song for the blind thing that i once was blind but now i see. that is so great its talking about how an unbeleiver was blind and whenever he gets saved he can see and know who the Lord is. Whenever we were @ Downtown Disney and stopped us and told us how many people that will be passing us that will go to hell when they die. That was like a slap on the back or on the face. To me it felt like I needed to stop everybody from walking passed me so that I could witness to them!So that they would get saved and not go to hell whenever they die!Thats is just so sad and I wish we could have had a chance to witness to some people at least.

Rachel☺; said...

okay so i told you id make it up and maybe this might make up a teensy bit of how bad i was with devotions today..?
Well this makes me think of dirty water and how you cant see through it when its saturated with ick (sin), but when its cleansed of the impurities everythings crystal clear.
When you trust in God in your situations, you often are able to see how it may have really hurt you had you gone your own way. So much is revealed with just trust!
I like how we see the same concept in many different ways with these devotions because it makes it so much easier to remember in all the different ways it can be applied.
pastor lee, you probably wont read this, but thats okay i know i did it, and also, just in case you do, please pray for my knee, weird stuff is happening with it :(

Even worse, the final was to be held at the Bernabeu Stadium this year. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid official site[/url] This worked for Zaragoza, but they had to quit their offensive attack to take care of their defensive lines to prevent the Meringues’ attempts. This meant that Manuel Pellegrini’s team had more difficulties creating chances to score until minute 27, when it enjoyed a double opportunity with an accurate attempt from Raul Gonzalez, which hit the post, and then the subsequent shot from Ronaldo, which Czech Jiri Jarosik saved as the ball approached the net.

Ahead by one, Real Madrid controlled the ball on both ends of the field; Espanyol was left behind the ball without ideas. Even when the team managed to recover the ball, the players didn’t know what to do with it. Espanyol’s ineptitude helped Pellegrini’s men enjoy a wonderful half hour, during which they played how they wanted, when they wanted, and where they wanted. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]kaka[/url] Besides lagging behind one point, Villa Real was then reduced to 10 men at minute 35 when Gonzalo Rodriguez was shown his second yellow card for getting Kaka in the ribs.
