Re: (CS4U) January 31 - Outward Appearances

You're welcome :) LOL news just came on..."This is the Big One!"  Most of the schools around here have already cancelled classes for tomorrow and Wednesday.  I am going to laugh if this storm fizzles out...it has happened before. Right now, Galesburg is sitting right on the edge of the front in all the forecast maps...in fact, the front cuts the town in two.  And now the Blizzard warning area has been moved north and west of Galesburg...and they are saying as much as 22 inches of snow.  While I was out and about running errands people were talking...as they do when they are stocking up because of a pending storm... and comments were made that there was a possibility that we'd get as much as 30 inches of snow.    If we do it will be much like 1979 was around here.  I was snowed in at work for 3 days...only because Rte 34 wasn't opened until they were able to get the big Vplows to it.   It's been 'snowing' since late this morning and so far we have 1/4 inch of snow.  Going to have to do a lot more than that to get to those predicted numbers by Wednesday afternoon.   Stay warm!! ((hugs)) pk...and I have to be in court on Wednesday...if that isn't a predictor of no blizzard ROFL   -------Original Message-------   From: Toni Obodzinski Date: 1/31/2011 9:49:05 PM To: christian_singles_4u@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: (CS4U) January 31 - Outward Appearances   Great word!  Thanks pk!

(1 Samuel 16:7)   Man does, indeed, look on the outward appearance rather than inward convictions. This has always been true, but never more so than in these latter days, even among evangelical Christians.   There is very little emphasis in the Bible on such things, however. As far as dress and adornment are concerned, Paul said: "I will therefore that. . . . women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works" (1 Timothy 2:8-10). The same principle surely would apply also to men.   With respect to physical conditioning and development, the following is almost the only reference in the Bible: "Bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things" (1 Timothy 4:8). The apostle Paul himself (probably the most effective and fruitful Christian of all) was a man of most unimpressive appearance (2 Corinthians 10:10). "I was with you in weakness," he reminded them, but nevertheless it was "in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" (1 Corinthians 2:3-4).   There is nothing wrong, of course, with physical beauty or athletic prowess, unless they center attention on self rather than Christ, but it is the "inner man" of the heart, where true strength and beauty should be sought. Therefore, as Jesus said: "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24). The Lord looks on the heart, and so should we.
