Better a Millstone

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.” Mark 9:42-43

What causes you to stumble? What takes you away from God rather than drawing you closer to him? What makes you want to stop believing rather than rest in peaceful trust?
Praise God that he provides his Spirit to convict us of wrongdoing. May we rely on his leading so that we can live righteously in him.

Where the battle’s lost and won?

Jeremiah 4:1
If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord,
   “Return to Me;
 And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight,
 Then you shall not be moved.

Continuous Conversation

Matthew 18:3
and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Desire to Disciple?

John 6:66
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

And every virtue we posses

psalm 87:7
Both the singers and the players on instruments say,
 “All my springs are in you.”

Thought 

. The world is full of discouragers.  We have a Christian duty to encourage one another.  Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet.  Blessed is the man who speaks such a word. - William Barclay
