Today was fairly typical. I spent half the day at the Nursery school and half at the Primary school. At lunchtime I went out with Unia and I got some food and she tried on some clothes that the worship team here is getting made.
After school I went for a walk and bought a DVD of Soul Surfer and a copy of the daily newspaper. The newspaper was actually really boring.
We had curry for dinner (much to Abby’s delight) and Unia joined us. Afterwards, Royce came over with her baby, Sheeta. I got some photos, as she is adorable.
Mission Statement
In classical sacrifices, the people get the good bits, and the gods get the refuse, the bits that would get thrown out otherwise.
Not our God. Leviticus (particularly Leviticus 3) describes the sacrifices that our LORD demanded from His people of Israel. God gets the kidneys, the tail, and all the fat. He gets the prime steak, He gets the best.
Today we do not literally give sacrifices of animals. For us the ultimate sacrifice has been made through our Lord, Christ Jesus. But should always be our ambition to do the same thing - to offer God the best of what we have, to offer Him the fat, and not the smoke and bones.
