Day 305: Matthew 20-21

Love the parable of the workers paid equally. NONE of us deserve to be saved. Why do we think we deserve anything we get in this life or the next?

I think people who get upset when we sell things in the church need to look closer at the story of Jesus clearing the temple. The automatically think this story supports their argument. I don't think it does. These people were corrupt and taking advantage of the worshipers. When we are selling things it is to support mission work or to advance ministry. No one is being taken advantage of.

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." I think the stronger our belief, the more likely our prayers will be in line with God's will, and then God will be happy to grant them.
