Believing

Do we really believe? do we have faith that God will see us through all our problems if we will trust in him?. We all have our share from time to time; sickness, finances, family problems, all kinds of circumstances that we just can’t seem to handle on our own. If we will just trust and have faith in God, and truly believe; as Christians, He will give us the ability to seek out the answers, and will take care of our needs according to His will. Matthew. 7:7-8 Ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. 8-For every one that asketh recieveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. So first we have to turn them over to God. Second we have to let God give us the answers. And third we have to really believe that God will take care of them. Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29- Take my yoke upon you,and learn of me; for I am meek and lowely in heart and ye shall find peace in your souls. 30- For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Praise the LORD for taking our burdens, if we will just ask.

Prodigal Son

The prodigal son had to learn this lesson. Wanting freedom from family restraints, he demanded his share of his daddys estate and took off. Boy did he learn fast! Soon he was out of finances, fun and friends, bogged down in brothels and putrid pig pens. Some freedom this was! Ah but it’s a picture of the whole human race. Created to be in Gods family, we are prone to swap this privilage for a false freedom that will rob us of our place in our Fathers house…And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journy into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. Luke 15:13…What a great story to remind us to be thankful for what we have. It could always be worse.

The Universal Call From Jesus “Follow Me”

There may be a lot of different things we can do, and a lot we can’t. But one thing is for sure we can and must reach out to as many lost as possible and bring the call from Jesus “Follow Me”. If you are a Christian it is your duty to witness to as many as possible. We must not give up hope and all ways realize that God is still in control. The Message remains the same. It must reach all over the world by any means. Jesus is the only way. 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me…John 14:6 (Read all of John 14)

Bro Larry is asking as many as will to join with us and help spread this message…Mark 8:34 (Read all of Mark 8)>And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

What Do We Have To Loose?

Some one that is our eternal friend laid down His life for us. Is denied, ridiculed, hated, but still is willing to forgive. Jesus does this because He cares that much. Jesus said I would that none would perish but that all would have eternal life. Our Lord wants all to be saved. Yes we have a lot to loose. but look at the gain, If we believe on Jesus our precious Saviour. and repent.– John 12:25-26 He that loveth his life shall loose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto eternal life. We have to seek after eternal life more than what this life on earth has to offer. 26- If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am there shall also my servant be.If any man serve me; him will my Father honor. Praise Jesus for ever more.

Planting The Seed

Sometimes we as Christians can get awfully discouraged trying to minister the lost or unchurched. We visit and ask people to come to know Christ or maybe just to attend a service and hear a the Word of God. We get all kinds of promises but very little action. It seems like the ones who went to church for a while and became members and for some reason quit are harder to get back than the ones who have never been a member of a church. Maybe  we as Christians are the ones failing, maybe we are not planting the seeds deep enough for them to grow.and mature?..Matthew 13:22-23 As for what was sown among the thornbushes, this is the person who hears the word, but the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of wealth choke the word so that it can’t produce a crop.:23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word, understands it, and produces a crop that yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”

Allow The Spirit To Work.

18-In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19- Quench not the spirit.1 Thessalonians 5 :18-19.As a young Christian verse 18 puzzled me for I thought some circumstances could never allow one to be thankful. But life has taught me that in every situation, there is always something for which to be thankful. How do we Quence Gods Spirit? I believe one way we quence the spirit is by having an ungrateful attitude. God wants us to worship Him with a thankful and cheerful heart. An ungrateful heart is not likely to be pleasing to the Holy Spirit .One way to be inspired by the Holy Spirit is by taking note of Gods gifts in nature, the blessings we recieve through friends and family, and most of all the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Amen

Become Clean

Ever wonder why young children have a tendency to see how dirty they can get in a short period of time? No matter how hard you try to keep them clean for some special occasion seems like they have a magnet that draws them right back to what caused them to be dirty in the first place. That is a natural tendency for children.We are the same way when it come to sin. We have a natural tendency to sin. We have good intentions of reforming our ways and giving up our favorite sins. But as soon as the tempter comes into our  minds  memories of the so-called good times we had with our sin there we go again like rats following the piper. What we need is more than cleaning up on the outside. We need more than to reform . We need new hearts with the desire for the things of  God and not the ways of sin. those new hearts can come only from God and after er have yielded our hearts to Him…Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Things

Why do I do what I shoudn’t and don’t do what I should?..Something we all should think about..Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

The Invitation

God offers everyone an invitation to come and be with him to turn away from the things of the world and drink of the living waters…..Isa 5o :1-3 Come all ye who are thirsty come to the waters; and you who have no money come buy and eat! Come buy wine and milk without money without cost. 2- Why spend money on what is not bread. and your labor on what does not satisfy. Listen ,listen to me and eat what is good. and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. 3-Give ear and come to me hear me that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenent with you..{NIV}..Jesus said in John 4:14..but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 7:37-In the last day , the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying if any man thirst let him come unto me , and drink.(KJV)……..What a great offer God has for all no matter who you are or where you come from rich or poor to drink of the living water .The water of everlasting life. I wont to drink that water and be full…Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Saviour. ‘New’ story of David and Goliath on the Childrens page….

Where Do We Turn?

When we walk through this world we do not have many places to turn when we are down and need help. Whether we are physically or spiritually down we all find ourselves at times in need of the kind of help that only can come from God. Whether in this life or in eternity, the Lord God is dependable, and reliable, and trustworthy. He never lets us down, no matter how critical the time. In Him we never lose we always win…Isaiah 41:10 fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
