That is not in the Bible!! Is it?

In yesterday's post Bible College isn't like Sunday School I promised to post some of the things I have already learned about scripture or people in the scriptures' that I did not already know.  Here are some of the high points so far.

• Many Christians know and even quote Mark 14:7a  ~ "The poor you will always have with you" but I did not realize the complete scripture ~ as spoken by Jesus to his disciples ~ is this:

"The poor you will always have with you and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. (physically)" ~ Mark 14:7  Don't hear a lot of folks quoting that "and you can help them any time you want" part of the verse.  Just sayin......

Well - Paul - When you say it THAT WAY then I do see how singleness is a gift

I had the pleasure of hearing a positive sermon on singleness last Sunday.  For once a pastor spoke of singleness as a gift ~ not a burden or a sentence to be endured.  Best of all the pastor never once said, "While you are waiting on God's mate for you...."  There is no way I can do his sermon justice so I will not attempt to but I WILL give you the link to the sermon, the scripture reference and some of the major points I came away with.
