  TODAY'S SCRIPTURE Luke 6 (ESV)   TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL Wake Up Call Luke 6:37-38-  “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Come walk with Jesus—day by day, chapter by chapter—through the Gospels.  This daily journey is shaped in Scripture, rooted in community, and alive with the Spirit’s work in us. Let’s wake up to His love together.  Led by J.D. Walt (of Seedbed).   So when isn't the Golden Rule to be in effect as we live our lives?
