TODAY’S SMILE

The crowded cafeteria sported a large sign reading: "Watch Your Hat And Overcoat." Ira sure did. He kept turning every minute, almost choking over his food.

His pal, Barney, kept on eating, without thought of his own coat on the hook. Finally Barney said, "Ira, you Schmuck...stop watching our overcoats."

TODAY’S WORD

propinquity (noun) [prah-PING-kwi-tee]

1. nearness or proximity: "James' propinquity allowed him to smell her delicate perfume."

2. kinship

3. similarity or affiliation

TODAY’S REFLECTION

It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Romans 4:13

The children of Israel highly respected the law and it played a large part in their lives. In today’s scripture, Paul was telling the early Christians that faith is what makes them heirs to the kingdom, not the law

The Lord may hate the sin we commit, but if we have faith and are willing to repent and try to do our best, we are lovingly forgiven. Our righteousness comes from Jesus' sacrifice for us and it is our faith in God that brings us into the kingdom
