September 4th -- Luke 20:20-40

Please go and read the passage!

There's really not a huge amount I can actually think to say on this particular passage. Maybe one point would be don't try and use your faith as an excuse to claim that you can't pay taxes on religious grounds, or anything ridiculous like that. God doesn't care for our money because it means nothing to Him, and, like Jesus told the Pharisees to give to Caesar what belonged to Caesar, so should we give to the government what belongs to the government (and I'm not about to argue if it actually belongs to the government or not, because I am not a politically savvy person). Also, the point about marriage is interesting. I think people often wonder about what we, as people, will be like in Heaven. Now, all the answers aren't here, but a few are. Often, people do wonder about marriage in Heaven - it's not even there. There won't be that sort of relationship present. Basically, we will all just be nothing more or less than brothers and sisters in Christ, sort of like how the angels are with each other. It's a really neat thought, although some  people do find the prospect of not enjoying their marriage on earth for eternity in Heaven. God know best, though.

So, I hope everyone's doing well! If you need prayer, feel free to send me requests on my Tumblr ask box, found here. Unless you have a Tumblr account and are signed in, all requests will remain anonymous.

God bless! Shalom!
