Offerings

"I want you to know God, that's more important than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

Me and a friend, Brynn, have started a women's Bible study that meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00. For the past few weeks and probably next week as well, we are discussing prayer: the importance of it, what teaches about, and God answers it. God has already been working through this and it's been amazing.

I also wanted to share a quote that I found on someone else's blog.

"Paul will not permit us to compensate for neglecting those nearest us by advertising our compassion for those on another continent. Jesus, it must be remembered, restricted nine-tenths of His ministry to twelve Jews because it was the only way to redeem all Americans. He couldn't be bothered, says Martin Thornton, with the foreign Canaanites because His work was to save the whole world. The check for the starving child must still be written and the missionary sent, but as an extension of what we are doing at home, not as an exemption from it." -Eugene Peterson

I thought it was so awesome. Right to the point and hit dead on!
