Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Jesus said: "If anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge Him for I did not come to judge the world but to save it.  The one who rejects Me and does not receive My words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge Him on the last day."

Jesus Christ is the righteous judge whom we all will stand in front of on that last day to give account for things done on earth, whether good or bad.  Jesus does not want to condemn man, and there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.  If we repent, we will stand before Him forgiven and justified, not because of our greatness, but because of His love, grace and actions He took on our behalf.  True, all have sinned, but it is also true that all can be justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Him.

It sounds frightening to say we must all stand before the judgement seat of Christ, but Judgement for the obedient means salvation, not condemnation.  We have a choice, step into the light of Christ, or learn what staying in darkness means.

Christ will make no mistakes at judgement, for He knows the hearts of all.  God be thanked for sending us His beloved Son in whom is redemption and eternal life and for His inspired word by which we will be judged.

Greetings Brethren and friends,

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge-Proverbs 1.7.  The beginning of wisdom-Proverbs 9.10.  Leads to life-Proberbs 19.23.  Prolongs days-Proverbs 10.27.  Hates evil-Proverbs 8.13.  By the fear of the Lord one departs from evil-Proverbs 16.6.  So fear the Lord and depart from evil, it will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones-Proverbs 3.7.

AMEN

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  And God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of Your Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Father, we come to you this morning, not to ask for anything more than You have blessed us with, but to thank You for the love You have shown us through Your Son, Jesus, and for His giving up His Life that we might have a more abundant life in Him.  By this Father we can know love.  We have great sorrow to know that our sins are the reason for His death.  But we find peace and joy in our hearts to know the love You have for us.  And that now in You through Jesus, we have received reconciliation. 

In Jesus name we offer these words of thanks. AMEN

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

There's a great day coming and what a glorious day it will be for all the faithful who have fought the good fight and have loved and obeyed the Lord while here on earth.  For they will hear the Savior say, "well done good and faithful servant."  But it will also be a sad day for the disobedient sinner who will hear the word's, "depart from Me I never knew you."  Is your heart right with God?  Are you prepared if Jesus comes today?

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

In both the old and new testament scriptures speak of a perverse and crooked generation, a stubborn and rebellious generation, an adulterous generation, a faithless generation.  From generation to generation it seems God's people have had a difficult time remaining faithful to God.  Because of sin; faith can weaken, hearts can harden and go astray from His word.  In Romans 15.4, Paul told those in Rome and by extension, us, whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.  But have we learned?  Or is this generation like those of the past?  (Questions to ponder).  We live in a world of trials, troubles and temptations.  But there is still hope for our generation, for the One who has been given all authority in heaven and earth.  Jesus the Christ has told us we would face these things in the world, but that we should be of good cheer FOR HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD!  See John 16.33. Sin is the reason for trials and tribulations.  And Satan dresses up temptations to look so good and inviting that we can and some do fall away and walk with the Lord no more.  Don't fall for Satan's lies.  Stay close to the Lord and you will become more than conquerers.  Rejoice in the Lord and thank God for Jesus.

Father,  we give thanks to You for Jesus.  Help us to stay firmly planted on Your word that we not fall for Satan's lies.  Increase our faith.  Help our unbelief.  Strengthen our hearts as we walk with You in the light of Your words.  Help us to follow the way of escape which You provide from all temptations.

In Jesus name, AMEN
