Good Morning,

TRUST in the Lord with all your heart, and LEAN NOT on your own understanding; in all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him, and He shall DIRECT your paths.  DO NOT be WISE in your own eyes.  FEAR the Lord and DEPART FROM EVIL.  It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.  HONOR the Lord with your POSSESSIONS and with the FIRSTFRUITS of your increase. Proverbs 3.5-9.  LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.  SEEK First His Kingdom, and HIS righteousness. Matthew 22.38, Matthew 6.33.  STOP ANGERING THE LORD.  He is your CREATOR, SUSTAINER of your life and YOUR SALVATION.

Good Morning,

We must, according to the scriptures, consider the cost of discipleship.  For if we do not bear His cross and follow after Him, we cannot be His disciple. See Luke 14. 25-30.  Temptations are raging around us in this perverse, crooked and adulterous generation in which we live.  Taking up our cross daily to follow Christ means we must know and do His commandments. John 14.15.  Repentance of our sins is ongoing and ever present in our lives.  It is easy enough say the words, Lord I have sinned, please forgive me this sin, or something similar and then continue to live in this same sin.  True repentance is first recognizing and confessing our sins, ask for the Lord's forgiveness and then turning from those sins never to indulge in them again.  The Christian life, the determination to take up our cross and follow Him, is not an easy life, but true repentance comes from a good, honest, and faithful heart, then the Lord will be faithful to forgive us our sins.  With God all things are possible, and He has promised to never leave nor forsake us. Mark 10.27; Hebrews 13.5.

Good Morning,

According to the scriptures, each of us will give account of himself to God. Romans 14.12.  We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what we have done whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5.10.  Since this is truth, we should not judge one another any more, but rather resolve this , not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fail in our brother's way.   Let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things which one may edify another. Romans 14.13,19.  May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be likeminded toward one another according to Christ Jesus, and with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Receive one another just as Christ received us; to the glory of God. Romans 15. 5-7.

Good Morning,

God's will is for us to do good so the ignorance of foolish men will be silenced.  It is commendable before God if we suffer from doing good and take it with patience.  It is to this we are called.  As His disciples, we must follow the steps of Christ who left us an example by suffering for us.  He threatened no one when reviled.  He bore our sins in His own body, that we having died to our sins might live in righteousness.  It is by His stripes we are healed.  Make whatever you do today count for the glory of God.

See 1 Peter 2.

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.
