    Signature Scent

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,110 views

    A sweet aroma ascends God-ward. Godly living, which includes the proclamation of the gospel, manifests Christ to men, and thus, it brings pleasure and glory to God.

The smell of things like crayons, petunias, and colognes evoke memories that transport me to the past and bring to mind people and places I might not otherwise recall. Some celebrities have fragrances named after ...read more

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.

    "I'm the kind of friend you can depend on. I'm always around when I need you." That is the kind of friends that most people have, the one who are always putting themselves first!

    Jesus uses a couple of etiquette lessons to teach true humility. The point is simple (and repeated throughout scripture): If we lift ourselves up, God will put us down. If we lift others up, God will lift us up.
