Daily Devotion:   Many times we get caught up in what others think about us.  This is normal, it happens, but God constantly reminds us not to worry about the opinions of others. God never told us to impress others. He only commanded us to love them.  So today, who cares what others think about you- simply love them right where they are! 1 John 4:7, "Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God."

Daily Devotion:   Only you know the secret temptations you desire.  Today, God wants to remind you the He always provides a way out. Maybe you're tempted to put someone in their place when they've wronged you, or you're tempted by lust.  You might fight with temptations by drugs or over indulgence in food.  Whatever your temptations are, God has given you the weapons to defeat it. God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability.   1 Corinthians 10:13, "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."   We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond. Many struggles come as problems and pressures that sometimes cause pain. Others come as temptations, trials, and tribulations. -L. Lionel Kendrick       Stolen Lunches is a bible study communi

Faith is your foundation to trusting in God, even though you can't see the end results.  Hebrews 11:1, "Faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." When we step out in faith and use the talents He's given us, we show that we trust God, that we believe He will bless our actions and cause us to succeed. -Victoria Osteen       Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

Daily Devotion:   Have you ever got caught saying things you wish you didn't only to apologize for all of it later?

Be slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, and wishes of those who do speak. Thus you will better know when to speak and when to be silent. -Saint Ignatius     Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches.

Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven."   I love when things are transparent, free and clear of all inhibition and judgement. -Pharrell Williams       Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches.

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge       Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches.

Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden."   People are like stained - glass windows.

Daily Devotion:   What you are holding onto is suffocating you!  Free yourself of the hurt, pain, and anger.  Let - it - go! Many times we have trouble letting things go.

Ephesians 4:31, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior." Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you'll get to where God wants you to be. -Joel Osteen       Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches.
