Blessings of Being Counter-Cultural

…”You hypocrites!

Each of you works on the Sabbath day!

Don’t you untie your ox or your donkey

from its stall on the Sabbath

and lead it out for water?

This dear woman,

a daughter of Abraham,

has been held in bondage by Satan for eighteen years.

Isn’t it right that she be released,

even on the Sabbath?”

This shamed his enemies,

but all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did.

Luke 13:15-17

Blessings of the Unapologetic Truth Speaker

 

Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said,

“When you see clouds beginning to form in the west,

you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’

And you are right.

When the south wind blows, you say,

‘Today will be a scorcher.’

And it is.

You fools!

You know how to interpret the weather signs

of the earth and sky,

but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.

Luke 12:54-56

Blessings of Heaven’s Treasure

 

“Sell your possessions

and give to those in need.

This will store up treasure for you in heaven!

And the purses of heaven

never get old or develop holes.

Your treasure will be safe;

no thief can steal it

and no moth can destroy it.

Wherever your treasure is,

there the desires of your heart will also be.

Luke 12:33-34
