Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us

Notes of meeting on 5 August 2014


Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
He wants to draw our cold hearts into the warmth of His loving Heart.
He wants to draw all people close to His Heart
Blood and water flow from Him over all.

2 Timothy 2 v 11 - 26
¹¹ Here is a saying that you can rely on: If we have died with him, then we shall live with him.
¹² If we persevere, then we shall reign with him. If we disown him, then he will disown us.
¹³ If we are faithless, he is faithful still, for he cannot disown his own self.
¹⁴ Remind them of this; and tell them in the name of God that there must be no wrangling about words: all that this ever achieves is the destruction of those who are listening.
¹⁵ Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who has no need to be ashamed, but who keeps the message of truth on a straight path.
¹⁶ Have nothing to do with godless philosophical discussions -- they only lead further and further away from true religion.
¹⁷ Talk of this kind spreads corruption like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus,
¹⁸ the men who have gone astray from the truth, claiming that the resurrection has already taken place. They are upsetting some people's faith.
¹⁹ However, God's solid foundation-stone stands firm, and this is the seal on it: 'The Lord knows those who are his own' and 'All who call on the name of the Lord must avoid evil.'
²⁰ Not all the dishes in a large house are made of gold and silver; some are made of wood or earthenware: the former are held in honour, the latter held cheap.
²¹ If someone holds himself aloof from these faults I speak of, he will be a vessel held in honour, dedicated and fit for the Master, ready for any good work.
²² Turn away from the passions of youth, concentrate on uprightness, faith, love and peace, in union with all those who call on the Lord with a pure heart.
²³ Avoid these foolish and undisciplined speculations, understanding that they only give rise to quarrels;
²⁴ and a servant of the Lord must not engage in quarrels, but must be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and patient.
²⁵ He must be gentle when he corrects people who oppose him, in the hope that God may give them a change of mind so that they recognise the truth
²⁶ and come to their senses, escaping the trap of the devil who made them his captives and subjected them to his will.
