Do you wear a veil? More on 2 Corinthians 3—the end.
I’ve been thinking more about the veil . . . in my last briefing, I referenced Exodus 34, and I should like to take you there again.

The Law didn’t fail—we did.
The Law relied on us to be faithful, and we couldn’t be. ‘Truth is, we needed a whole new system . . . one based on the righteousness of
another, not our own; we needed what only God could have conceived of—…

Company sales numbers had just come across her Blackberry; sure enough, Amy had moved to number 37 in the country. Thirty-seven? Is that good or
bad? It meant 37th place out of 500
pharmaceutical sales representatives in a large company. The
results were quite measurable and they were good.…

Has it occurred to you that you represent God to others? Whether or not you like it or you applied for the job, your words and actions reflect God to others. Hmm .

Good Day!
Yesterday we spoke of Paul’s desire to forgive a man who had hurt him deeply . . . forgiveness is immense. It breaks down walls, frees hearts, mends
countries, restores families, and draws out the best in us. It can turn
hatred into tenderness and the desire to destroy into a passion to
protect. It is more powerful than any weapon,…

I always think of Paul as bold—assertive, even to the point of being aggressive, with keen intellect and a ‘take no prisoners’ kind of
mentality. Somebody wronged him terribly, and the whole
assembly knew about it. Consequences were meted out, to
correct the behavior not to cause him to feel alienated or unloved. Now….Paul
tells them, ‘Enough! It is time to forgive him and move
forward.’ We see Paul’s…
This last week I got to be with my Long Beach people two times, Thursday and Friday. Love that. On Thursday, I took the
message of “In Jesus Christ…yes!” to a large, restless crowd. Crazy
Bonnie came waltzing up, wanting to interject things, but the folks
shut her right down. A young Hispanic woman in the back
yelled, ‘sit down, I want to hear,’ which only…
JOY . . . People want it.
People want to be around others who have it.
People want to know how to get it.

ContinueWhen I was a kid, we made an annual trip to Clear Lake (California)—honestly, all my best memories from childhood go back to
that lake. It wasn’t just the waterskiing with my family,
though I LOVED that, it was all the other stuff like fishing, clamming,
jumping off the pier, and trying to get so many people on the dock that
we would sink it. I also remember the lizards. My cousins…

Today is the day that I will conduct my friend’s funeral—my beautiful friend, who life got the better of. I have conducted quite a few
memorial-type services, including my own dear mother’s, but this is the
first one of my friends to depart. So near my age, living
only four houses away, this feels so very wrong. Nonetheless,
it is mine to honor, and mine to give hope—especially to her three
teen-aged…

Two men met to transact some business in wartime. The one was full of how the train in which he had travelled had been attacked from the air. He would not stop talking about the
excitement, the danger, and the narrow escape. The other
man, in the end, said quietly—‘Well, let’s get on with our business now. I’d
like to get away fairly early because my house was demolished by a bomb
last night.’…

Where did we leave brother Paul? We look now at his letter to the church he had established in the city of Corinth, in which he
encouraged, instructed, and corrected the body of believers. In
our study of 1 Corinthians, we learned so much about our Christian
faith, including proper conduct within the church, and how different the
church should be from the world around us. Paul explained
the essential…
