Good Morning,

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." But that foolish statement is an outright lie.  For there is a God, a living God and the heavens declare His glory and the firmament shows His handiwork. (Psalms 19.1).  Our God is alive and well sitting on His throne in heaven, ruling over heaven and earth.  He encourqes and helps us in times of trouble.  By His strength He vindicates us.  He is the all knowing one who knows and searches the hearts of men.  He is all powerful giving and taking life as He choses.  Oh, yes, there is a God in whom all faithful obedient believers live and move and have their being. (Acts 17.28) and we owe, we owe our life to Him.  By the way have you talked to God today to thank Him for your every blessing, and to let Him know how much you love Him for being our God and accepting us as His children?

Good Morning,

We are in the heat of battle, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. And Yes, it is true the battle belongs to the Lord and He leads us and He guide us in this battle, so we can be victorious. But we are the soldiers of His cross, we are the ones who have to engage in every day hand to hand combat against these forces of evil. We are the ones who must remain loyal and true to Christ waving His unfurled banner high. Hear and listen to His words when He says: Contend earnestly for the faith (Jude 3), enduring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.(Ephesians 4.3). And as Paul told Timothy (1 Timothy 6.12), we must keep fighting the good fight of faith laying hold on eternal life and not growing weary in doing well. (Galatians 6.9). He has given us the spiritual weapon and protective armor (Ephesians 6.11) so we are well equipped for the battle. Stand up, stand up for Jesus you soldiers of the cross, lift high His royal banner it must not suffer loss.

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, Friends and Brethren

Jesus was sent from the heart of God to this low ground of sin and sorrow to seek and save the lost of this world.  Now if Jesus was sent from the heart of God and we truly want to be near to the heart of God where there is calm, peace and release from the troubles of the world, then we need to set our minds not on things of earth but on things on high and stay close to the blessed Redeemer, Jesus the Christ, by picking up our cross daily and following Him.  Brethren we can make a difference by seeking the lost, teaching them the truths of the gospel and conducting our lives with the same mind as Christ.

Father, draw us nearer still nearer to the cross where Jesus died.  Nearer still nearer to thy heart.  Our sinful and contrite hearts we bring to thee to be washed and cleansed in the precious blood of our Savior.  We resign and crucify all of sins pleasures, pride and desires and want now to only do Your will.  Help us, Father, to find that quiet place of rest near to Your heart.

In Jesus name, AMEN

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Having been buried with Christ Jesus through baptism into death, just as He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we also should walk in newness of life.  We now belong to Him and those who are His have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  No longer do we let sin reign in our mortal bodies that we should obey its lusts, but now present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead and our members as instruments of righteousness to God.  In this new life we now live in His truth and strive to please Him in all we do, that we may walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him.  Out of our pure love for Christ we are committed to obey His commandments.  Live for Jesus, give Him all you have to give, for if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him and if we endure we shall also reign with Him.  But if we deny Him, He will also deny us.

Romans 6.3-4;Galatians 5.24; Romans 6.12-13; Colossians 1.10; John 14.15; 2 Timothy 2.11-12.
