April 1 - 40 Days

Literally? 

Proof texting is when someone takes a quote out of context to establish a point.  For example, Little Women includes this line: "It is as useful to educate a woman as it is to educate a female housecat."  However, Little Womenis far from a book that discourages women from learning or being self-sufficient.  Proof texting is something we can sometimes do with the Bible when we are trying to make a point.  I encourage you to think about this while you read the passage and watch the video today. 

Read: Luke 13:10-35

Questions to Consider:

1.     Have you ever declined to help someone because you thought it was “against the rules”? 

2.    Have you every helped someone even though it was “against the rules”?

Activity for the Day:  Have you been guilty of proof texting to prove your point?  Write about this in your journal.   

Blessings,
