Good Morning,  The Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16.7. This being true, God desires the heart that is pure, humble, loving and obedient. A heart that listens, hears and does God's will pleases the God of our salvation. Man's circumstances and troubles of this world may test our faith and our patience, but it is the righteous God who tests the heart and mind and saves the upright in heart. Jesus the Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Matthew 5.8. Where lies your heart this morning? Will it pass the test of God? Is your heart right with God?

Good Morning,  The lamp of the body is the eye according to the scriptures. If the eye is good the whole body is filled with light. If the eye is bad the whole body is filled with darkness. If the light in us is darkness, how great is that darkness? Turn your eyes upon Jesus and His cross and let the light of His word so shine that others will see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven.  Matthew 6.22-23; Matthew 5.16; Luke 11.34-36.

iGood Morning,  Our salvation was obtained through Jesus the Christ, Son of God and the only name by which salvation is possible. He came, He taught, did many miracles, was rejected by His own, suffered and died by crucifixion for the sins of the world. In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17.28. Living for Jesus is to walk by faith with Him, in the light of His word, having the same mind as He, humble, loving, caring, merciful, forgiving others just as He has forgiven us. Philippians 2. Living for Jesus we will suffer persecution from the world and sometimes within the church. Living our life for Jesus is not always sunshine and roses. But quitting is never an option for those who choose to pick up their cross daily and follow Him. Living for Jesus is not for the weak and faint hearted. but for the strong and courageous who are striving to please Him.

Good Morning, 

In chapter 8 of the book of Romans, we are told there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. That is those who have followed God's plan of salvation as noted in Acts 2.38; Romans 6. Those who have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and now belong to Christ Jesus. Galatians 5.24. Those who have been called out of the darkness of sin and into God's marvelous light. 1 Peter 2.9. These are the true ones, these are the saved ones who are traveling through this wicked, resentful, disobedient world, going to their final home in heaven to live evermore with Jesus, who now sits at the right hand of God's throne. God have mercy, Guide, guard, protect and direct our steps that on that great day we might hear, well done good and faithful servant, enter into My Kingdom.

Good Morning, 

Disciples of Christ are sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor darkness; those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk, get drunk at night; we are not to sleep as others do, but at all times we are to be alert and sober, for we know not the hour when the Lord shall come, but scripture tells us that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, He will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with then trumpet of God; See 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. and chapter 4.16. So rejoice always, pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ, Jesus. Come Lord Jesus!
