PRAY 4 - HOW DO I KNOW WHAT'S BEST - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE
1.
2.
3. 1:9-10
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may
abound more and more in knowledge and depth
of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern
what is best
4. Take a look at what's
highlighted in pink. Look
familiar? It's a 31, which
is the number of flavors
they offer.
6. If you look at Wendy's
collar you'll actually see
the word "MOM." Their
thinking is that the next
time you think of mom's
cooking, you'll think
Wendy's.
7. The FedEx logo is a creative
one! At first glance all you
can really notice are the two
different colors, but if you
look closely you can see an
arrow is created between
the spaces of the letter 'E'
and 'X', representing the
company's forward-thinking
ways and outlook towards
the future.
8. The two middle T's in
Tostitos shows two
friends sharing some
tortilla chips and salsa.
9. There is hidden meaning in
the LG logo, though.
Everyone knows the face,
but its position, as well as
the "L" and "G," inside the
circle that matters.
According to LG, this
centers humanity above all
else. The circle itself
symbolizes the world,
future, youth, humanity, and
technology while the red
represents friendliness.
28. 15:22
22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many
advisers they succeed
29. 11:4-6
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,
and again the Israelites started wailing and said,
“If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the
fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the
cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. 6
But now we have lost our appetite; we never see
anything but this manna!”
30.

32. 11:16-23
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of
Israel’s elders who are known to you as
leaders and officials among the people. Have
them come to the tent of meeting, that they may
stand there with you. 17 I will come down and
speak with you there, and I will take some of
the power of the Spirit that is on you and put
it on them. They will share the burden of the
people with you so that you will not have to
carry it alone
33. 11:16-23
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves in
preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat.
The Lord heard you when you wailed, “If only we
had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”
Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat
it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two
days, or five, ten or twenty days,
34. 11:16-23
20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of
your nostrils and you loathe it—because you
have rejected the Lord, who is among you, and
have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever
leave Egypt?” ’ ”21 But Moses said, “Here I am
among six hundred thousand men on foot, and
you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole
month!’

36. Jim Wallis is a Christian writer
and political activist. He is best
known as the founder and editor
of Sojourners magazine and as
the founder of the Washington,
D.C.-based Christian community
of the same name. Wallis is well
known for his advocacy on
issues of peace and social
justice. He works as a spiritual
advisor to President Barack
Obama. He is also a leader in the
Red-Letter Christian movement.
37. In discussing the 2004 American
presidential elections, Wallis
said "Jesus didn’t speak at all
about homosexuality. There are
about 12 verses in the Bible that
touch on that question. Most of
them are very contextual. There
are thousands of verses on
poverty. I don’t hear a lot of that
conversation.” Some time
between 2008 and 2013, Wallis
changed his mind and began to
support same-sex marriage.
38. In 2008 he made the following
remarks: "I don't think the
sacrament of marriage should be
changed. Some people say that
Jesus didn't talk about
homosexuality, and that's
technically true. But marriage is
all through the Bible, and it's not
gender-neutral. I have never
done a blessing for a same-sex
couple. I've never been asked to
do one. I'm not sure that I
would."
39. However, in an interview in 2013,
Wallis declared his support for
same-sex marriage, and said
"Marriage needs some
strengthening. Let's start with
marriage, and then I think we
have to talk about, now, how to
include same-sex couples in that
deeper understanding of
marriage." In both statements,
Wallis advocated respectful
biblical and theological
conversations between
Christians who disagree on this
issue, as well as focusing on
other important issues such as
poverty.
40. Wallis is listed as a supporter of
the Consistent Life Ethic, a
philosophy that includes
opposition to abortion,
euthanasia and the death penalty.
In a 2008 interview with
Christianity Today, Wallis
expressed strong support for
abortion reduction, adding that "I
don't think that abortion is the
moral equivalent issue to slavery
that Wilberforce dealt with. I think
that poverty is the new slavery.
Poverty and global inequality are
the fundamental moral issues of
our time. That's my judgment."
41. The evangelical leader wrote in
favor of 'protecting unborn life in
every possible way, but without
criminalizing abortion.'" Wallis
added, "Everybody tends to
agree that preventing unwanted
pregnancies is a good thing. I'm
saying, let's take it to the next
step and say that abortion
reduction is a good thing too. It's
about providing options—not
taking away a woman's right to
choose, but making things like
adoption easier."
45. 11:10-15
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing
at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became
exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11
He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this
trouble on your servant? What have I done to
displease you that you put the burden of all these
people on me?
46. 11:10-15
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them
birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my
arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you
promised on oath to their ancestors? 13 Where
can I get meat for all these people? They keep
wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot
carry all these people by myself; the burden is too
heavy for me.
47. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please
go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in
your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
52. 11:22-23
22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds
were slaughtered for them? Would they have
enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for
them?” 23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the
Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see
whether or not what I say will come true for
you.”
53.
54.
55. 1:9-10
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may
abound more and more in knowledge and depth
of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern
what is best and may be pure and blameless for
the day of Christ,
