For those of you who don't know my little boy Matthew has had a cough for the past month and a half that has not gone away. I did not worry about it too much until he came down w/ a fever nearly 2 weeks ago. I took him to the dr. and the dr. gave him an antibiotic that did absolutely nothing for his fever. Matthew had the fever for 12 days straight. I talked to one of my close friends who sells Metagenics supplements and she told me she had some supplements (their called Pneumo-Carotene)that could help him. I knew that her opinion could be trusted since she's seen these things help a lot of people. So I ordered some from her.
Yesterday was day one that I gave Matthew the supplement and for the first time in 12 days his fever was completely gone! Today is day 2 and he can actually run around without having terrible coughing spells. I know this is going to help him recover completely and I couldn't be more grateful to God for that miracle supplement!

Judge the Insiders....
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 says
" I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people- Not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those ISIDE THE CHURCH who you are to judge? God judges those outside. " Purge the evil person from among you".
Wow, is it just me or are we lacking this today? Are we really turning our association from the "brother" that is in sin or are we tolerating sin in the church in the name of grace? Why do we occupy ourselves with judging those that do not claim Christ and are outside the church?
These were just a few thoughts that have come to my mind w/ the above passages.. Any other thoughts?
