A Wing and a Prayer inflicted the Gospel verse birthday meme on me where you find the verse in the four Gospels based on your birth date.
Matthew 10:10 "no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. "
Mark 10:10 "And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter."
Luke 10:10 "But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, "
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
Well I guess the message is "Whenever you enter a town – and in the house – the laborer deserves his food – abundantly" Wow just in time for Thanksgiving! So I will pass this on to Jumping Without a Chute since he has been meme free.

Gospel verse meme
This is a good one. I’ll ante up. Actually – in retrospect, it’s all a little provoking – too ‘on the nose’. Matt 6:6 – But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret…
What comes first: the month or the day?
Month.
This is a new one for me! Has it been around long?
Cool! Turns out 7:14 has some of my favorite verses!
You like me! You really, really, like me! Happy Thanksgiving Chief, I hope all is well with you and yours.
This reminds me of the man who search for Gospel guidance and found: “And Judas went and hanged himself… Go thou, and do likewise…. What thou hast to do, do quickly.”
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.
Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
So what does that say about me? 😉
Matthew 5:28
28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mark 5:28
28because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
Luke 5:28
28and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
John 5:28
28″Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
Okay – as for the first, I am (1) single and (2) female, so how does that apply? Unless it means that I’m a sultry temptress luring poor men away from their spouses – which I can assure you is most definitely *not* the case!
My favorite verse that I pass on to the “bible thumper on the street” that hounds me (there may be a slight paraphrase to suit my agenda, just as he twists Bible passages to suit his):
Mark 6:11
When a city or town rejects you, shake the dust off your feet in protest AS YOU LEAVE!
(sorry, had to)

Mt 1:4 and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon
Mk 1:4 John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Luke 1:4 so that you may know the truth concerning the things about which you have been instructed.
John 1:4 in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.
Hmm, As to Matthew, Salmon is my favorite fish and since I have been called a “mackerel snapper”…
Regarding repentance, when I preach (ie. everyday) I always strive to preach “to myself” first!
Lord, let me never give bad example.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of all people! Amen.
