THE ALLIANCE: Reading for the week of October 13th

A Man's Vow

I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet. To make all my friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvements of myself that I have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. So help me God.

Fellas,

Sorry for the lateness of the reading email. As I stated to all of you once before, if you get my email late, you should always read about 4 chapters to stay on track with the reading.

Keep Jamie Nations in your prayers as he is not traveling all over the world and will not be back until sometime around the Thanksgiving Holidays. Shoot him an email and check his blog that he will be sending us. He is gonna need us.....regardless of what he says. :)

Monday: Mark 11-13
Tuesday: Review
Wednesday: Mark 14-16
Thursday: Luke 1-2
Friday: Luke 3-6
Saturday: Luke 7-9
Sunday: Luke 10-12

I need the following people to call me and speak to me this week: Jessie Boyd, James Blake, Anthony Powell, Joynier Lockett, and Ray Pascua. Make sure we talk fellas, even if we play phone tag for a while. WE need to speak this week.

Leading men, changing lives, bringing strength, impacting people.....Alliance Strong!

Covenant

Today I am walking across the line. I'm tired of drifting away. I will no longer live with indecisiveness. I've made my choice, the ruling is in. I'm going God's way. The decision I have made is irrevocable. There is no turning back. There are no other options. There is a purpose for my life. I know the direction; I have the strength to walk in it. I will not squander my time or energy on superficial living, small minded thinking, frivolous talking, careless doing, useless guilt, spiteful resentment, or faithless concerns. As a replacement, I will magnify God, produce maturity, serve in ministry, and complete my mission in the membership of this family called The Alliance.

Accountability and Strength

II Peter 1: 3-10 3. Jesus has the power of God, by which He has given us everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus called us by His Glory and goodness. 4. Through these He gave us the very great and precious promises. With these gifts you can share in being like God, and the world will not ruin you with its evil desires. 5. Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your lives: to your faith, add goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge; 6. And to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service for God; 7. And to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love. 8. If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins. 10. My brothers and sisters, try hard to be certain that you really are called and chosen by God. If you do all these things, you will never fall.
