GOOD MORNING,

By ONE man sin entered into the world, and DEATH by sin; and so DEATH passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5.12.  For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Romans 3.23, and the WAGES of sin is DEATH.  But through Jesus the Christ our Lord, God has gifted us with eternal life. Romand 6.23.  God commanded His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Romans 5.8.  This gift from God is the gospel; given and enjoyed by all who have heard it preached receive it and stand by it.

By it we are saved, if we keep in memory this preaching of Christ and the Apostles, unless our belief is in vain.  According to the scriptures, CHRIST DIED for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. See 1 Corinthians 15.1-4.  By God's grace we are saved through our faith; not of ourselves it is THE GIFT of GOD; not of works lest any man should boast. See Ephesians 2.8,9.  This is the testimony:that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son.  If we have the Son, we have life, if we do not have the Son we have not life.  Believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5.11-13.

All emphasis are mine.

Good Morning,

We sometimes become discouraged in life.  But help to overcome is as close as the scriptures.  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me. Psalms 138.7. Jesus said in John 14.1: "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.  For "peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14.27.  So let us not be weary in well doing, be of good courage and He will strengthen the heart of all that hope in the Lord. Psalms 31.24.  Wait on the Lord.

Good Morning,

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me-----A prayer to the God of my life. Psalms 42.8.  Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry. Psalms 88.2.  Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant. Daniel 9.17.  The fervent prayers of a righteous man availed much. James 5.16.  Prayer truly changes things.

Father, on bended knee we come to You this morning, with thanksgiving for your Son, Jesus, and for. Your word on which we firmly stand.  We pray for You to intercede in the lives of many who need Your help and strength and comfort this day. We especially pray for our brother Mark and ask that You help him and Cindy and their family as You see their needs during this time of testing and wanting good results from those tests.  Be with us, Father, and help us to be better servants to You.  Father, we look to You for guidance in this life and for your help in decisions that we make for problems we face from day to day.  May our decisions be acceptable to You, and according to Your will.  These thanks we give, these petitions we ask in Jesus name. AMEN

Good Morning,

From Psalms 34.11: come you children, listen to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;  A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.  His praise endures forever. Psalms 111.10.  The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:  Pride and arrogance and the evil way and also the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8.13.  The fear of the Lord prolongs days. Proverbs 10.27.  The fear of the Lord leads to life Proverbs 19.23.  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14.27.  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. Ecclesiastes 12.13.

Good Morning,

I serve a living God, an awesome God, who has such great power, strength, mercy and love for His creation.  Do you know my God, have you tasted of His goodness, have you felt His power and His love, have you taken time to see the beauty of His creation Psalms 19.1?  Sometimes I wonder if we don't get so wrapped up in ourselves that we overlook the most beautiful, wonderful things of life and fall back into the ways of the world?  If after examining our hearts, which is what God is after, we should find evil creeping in, KNOW THIS: there is still hope to save your poor wicked soul,  The name is Jesus, the beloved Son of God, the object is the cross, the event was the resurrection from death by the power of God which leads one to/ back into His loving, everlasting arms. Come out from among the wicked of the world, stand strong in the faith and the word of God.

These are my thoughts.Thanks for reading.
