2 Peter 1:21 says, “Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Greek word for “moved” is “phero.” It’s a verb that is translated “bring, carry or bear.” It’s the same word that used twice in Acts 27 –Paul’s famous voyage to Rome – of the ship that was at the mercy of the breeze being caried by the wind. It’s origin of the English name, “Christopher.” Christos (Christ) – Phero (Bearing) – Bearing Christ. So, this tells us that the men who wrote Scripture did not have heightened powers or mystical visions or even an ear for God to dictate His word. Rather, they wrote what they knew to be true using their own words, style, experiences and personalities, but as they wrote, the Holy Spirit (pheuma-the same Greek word used in the Bible for wind) was bearing them along. Therefore, when they wrote they wrote the very Word of God.

Today's Chuckles

1. Don't Want to Listen

2. Winter Morning

                     ------------------------------

Don't Want to Listen 

Barb's granddaughter was in kindergarten. There was a boy 

in her class that wasn't listening to the teacher.

The teacher said to him, "Since you don't want to listen,

you sit at that table by yourself."

After a few minutes, Barb's granddaughter raised her hand

and said, "I don't want to listen either. Can I sit with

him?"

- from Da Mouse Tracks

                     ------------------------------

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's 

face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger 

and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the 

real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love 

that I sow now will be many fruits, here in this world 

and the life to come. - Henri Nouwen

                     ------------------------------

Winter Morning 

A wife texts her husband on a cold winter's morning: 

"Windows frozen."

Her husband texts back: "Pour some lukewarm water over 

it."

The wife texts back 5 minutes later: "Computer completely 

messed up now."
