Every year I participate in a
special effort called the New Testament Challenge
sponsored by a priest of the Orthodox Church in America. He encourages
Christians to spend the Christmas Fast, also known as Advent) reading the
entire New Testament as a preparation for Christmas. Each year I have done
this, it has been blessing to me and I pray this year will be no different. As
part of the New Testament Challenge, I endeavor to blog a bit about the reading
for that particular day. I may miss a few, but I pray for those who follow this
blog (NOW ALSO ON FACEBOOK) it will be a blessing.
Greed is a
very old passion. It must have been, because Saint Paul was often reminding the
faithful to
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13.5)
It is a good
reminder this season for us to keep focused on what matters most in life, we
are called to be children of God.
Until tomorrow…..Saint
Paul’s advice is worth keeping!
