1 Corinthians 1:10NASB "Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment."Although we were separated, we worked as one! Today's verse is about unity, having the same mindset! My crew and I had to go in separate ways to get to all the leading edges of the grass fire. Some went left, some right and others stayed in the middle but we all had the same mindset of putting out the fire before it became uncontrollable! Working together, yet apart, put the fire out! In the christian life, some maybe called to go west, others east and others to stay right in the city where we grew up. Although we each are called to a different area to share, we all have unity in what we share, Jesus Christ. The world will look to divide us, but if we stay focused on having the unity like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we can be one and accomplish what God is asking of His People! Find unity today, not division! peace, tom

John 10:10 NASB "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly."They are running in the background! Today's Word speaks of the thief who comes to steal and kill and destroy! I got the message that there were things running in the background of my computer that were slowly stealing power away from other apps and functions. As I began to investigate, I found that most of them needed to be turned off and removed so that my computer was working at full power. In life, we may become so busy with things running in our background, in our minds, that our focus falls short of full power doing the things that need to be done. Not unlike today's verse that speaks of how satan is running around looking to distract us from the things of God. It's time we delete him and those things that keep us from having the full power of the Holy Spirit! The question is... what do we need to delete in our lives so we can focus on Christ?! peace, tom
