Video of the Day: Clip from the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams”
Bible Verse of the Day:
They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. 35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all,” Mark 9:33-35.
Biblical Connection:
An ungodly belief are beliefs that do not align with the Bible’s teaching and God’s character. Ungodly beliefs are absorbed, developed and engrained within minds of a child which are carried over into adulthood. When Ray is not invited to see what’s beyond his own cornfield, the ungodly belief of “what’s in it for me” arises. Society teaches the opposite: to get what is yours.
Jesus often listened to conversations that his disciples thought went unheard. Subsequently, Jesus asks about the topic of discussion as the disciples traveled to Capernaum. Instead of revealing their debate on who is the greatest disciple among the 12, Jesus was prepared to correct their flawed mindset. From a biblical perspective, the greatest is the one most willing to become a servant.
Closing Song:
Over the course of my lifetime, Hollywood has convinced Americans that October is the month dedicated to embracing horror. In a processional leading up to Halloween, television networks air one slasher movie after another. To avoid falling prey to another ungodly belief, take your thoughts captive, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6, so you won’t imitate a what’s it in for me attitude.
