More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
A Life of Prayer #22 -- James 2:1-5 -- Would God choose me for His team?
Remember elementary school and choosing teams? Does this still happen today? What a nerve wracking deal. This week the NBA draft has been occuring. Teams spend millions of dollars to get the right person. And if you are chosen, what does that mean? It means you matter; you have value; want you on our team. You don't have to be in the NBA or elementary school. Life's ups and downs can still be mapped by those moments of choosing. Did you get chosen for the job or for the school? Did they choose your grant proposal? Did she say yes to your invitation? Isn't every wedding day all about being chosen? A ring says I choose you. I love you above all others. I want to live with you for the rest of my life. I choose.
So I’ve been pondering these words from James chapter 2, "Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world?" And it makes me wonder, "Would God choose me for His team?"
