Good Morning,

The word of God is powerful and sharper than any two edged sword and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4.12).  Every word of God is pure (Proverbs 30.5), and truth (John 17.17).  The gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for everyone (Romans 1.16).  Read it, study it, trust it, obey it.  It is a life changing experience.

Thank You, Father, for Your powerful word that will change the life of all who will believe and obey it.  Help us to study a portion of Your word each day that we might be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in us.  And thank You for Jesus, our Savior and redeemer, for His church, and the blood He shed to purchase it.  In Jesus name we pray. AMEN

Good Morning,

God sits on His holy throne and reigns over the nations (Psalms 47).  He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations (Psalms 66.7).  The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good (Proverbs 15.3).  We cannot escape His Spirit, nor flee from His presence.  He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent (Revelation 19.6; Psalms139.1-4; 7-12).  He is our all in all, above all, and in all who will believe, trust and obey Him.  He is the great I AM.  See that you do not refuse Him who speaks.  For if they did not escape who refused Him, who spoke on the earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven (Hebrews 12.25).  Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today if you will hear His voice." ( Read Hebrews 3.7-11 for complete context).

Good Morning,

The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament.  God doesn't change (Malachi 3.6).  It is sin that separates us from God, not the Bible (Isaiah 59.2).  God has blessed us with a scheme of redemption to save us from the sins that separate us from Him and to bring us back to a rightful relationship with Him.  The word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth.  He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord (Psalms 33.4-5).  Righteousness and justice is the foundation of His throne, mercy and truth go before His face (Psalms 89.14).  The Lord is longsuffering (patient) toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2.Peter 3.9).  God will not interfere with our freedom of choice; we can choose eternal life with Him or die in our sins and be eternally destroyed.

But for me and my house we shall serve the Lord (Joshua 24.15).

Greetings, Brethren,

We were once not a people but are now the people of God who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy (1 Peter2.10).  Now therefore, IF you will indeed OBEY My voice and KEEP My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people, for all the earth is Mine and you shall be to Me a Kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Exodus 19.5,6).  We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us from darkness (sin) into His marvelous light (righteousness) (1 Peter 2.9).  Also read Revelation 1.5,6.  Brethren, be careful out there for the eyes of the world are watching us and their ears are hearing us to confirm if we are truly God's people.  Therefore, be filled with the Spirit, walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time.  Understand what the will of the Lord is because the days are evil (Ephesians 5.15-17).

Greetings,

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16.16), who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and has commanded us to go and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28.18,19).  If we love Him we will keep His commandments, I say it again, if we love Him we will keep His commandments.  He is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father is through Him (John 14.6).  He is the Son of God (John 20.31), and the son of man (Luke 22.48).  He is our hope and faith and mystery of godliness (1 Timothy 1.1, 14; 3.16).  He is God's chosen one to descend from His heavenly place to this low ground of sin and sorrow, to suffer and die for the world's sin.  Jesus is all of this and so much more, to Him I owe my life.
