Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. Exodus 18:22 NIV
How in the world is it possible to pull off a Sweet Monday in one day?
"I believe God has given you and me, in Christ, some simple cases to handle. He has already equipped us as He promised with everything we need for godliness. I believe the key to pulling off a Sweet Monday in one day is the word "simple." Every Sweet Monday, my goal is to keep it so simple that I never dread it. Think of the big picture, the kingdom of God, instead of striving for a perfect home. My self worth does not come from whether the women like the dessert and candy I've chosen for the evening to go along with the theme. Having a simple tool to reach women by inviting them to Sweet Monday has been an effective way to introduce women to Christ, one sweet invitation at a time. And just wait, not only will one of the women you invited be in heaven with you one day, but pretty soon, she will ask you where you go to church or you'll see a woman at church who started coming because she was first invited to a Sweet Monday."
S.P. (Sweet Pea): So, go ahead. Put a date on your calendar for your own Sweet Monday. Or invite an acquaintance to go with you to a Sweet Monday. Or just go by yourself to Sweet Monday.
