An Alibi is a Lie
MINDSET THURSDAY: Each Thursday will be learning about “An Enemy Called Average”. As the author states we are called to stand out, not blend in and we are called to not settle for a life of average or mediocrity but an extraordinary life.
TODAY’S THOUGHT
RECOGNIZE AN ALIBI (EXCUSE)
FOR WHAT IT IS – A SIN AGAINST GOD
LISTEN TO TODAY’S NUGGET
TODAY’S SCRIPTURES
Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Luke 14:18-20 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me. Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
Exodus 4:10-12 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue. The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
Judges 6:15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”
John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
