"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."
C.S. Lewis

Scripture for Life - Acceptance (Revisited)

With Ash Wednesday yesterday, we are now into the season of Lent.  The posts I made leading up to yesterday's service were to help you learn more about what we are celebrating during this season of the church.

I will switch back and forth betwen topics this week, leading up to our next Group meeting next Wednesday.  As you know, we've got Winter Jam this weekend, and the lock-in at the church that night!

I'm shifting back to the topic of study for next week, of Acceptance.

The scriptue verse for today is:
Proverbs 31:30
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised." (NASB)

Another way of saying this would be; "Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.  The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear of God."  (The Message Translation)

What does it mean to you when it says Charm is deceitful, or that it can mislead?  What's another name for charm?
