Good Morning, 

Seek you FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Matthew 6.33.  You cannot serve two masters. Matthew 6.24.  He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.  Consider the cost of discipleship, "whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. Luke 14.33.  Then choose for yourself this day whom you will serve. Joshua 24.15.

Good Morning,  

Progressivism refuses to acknowledge or accept the need for God in this life.  Progressives lean on man's own understanding which says there is no problem that can't be overcome and our goals can be achieved by our thinking and actions of our feelings.  We may have feelings of inward unrest but that can be resolved by our awareness of the situation and meditation.  All of our outward problems can be solved by science and technology.  God is not essential any longer and is even losing His place spiritually.  How sad is this?  We face the danger of war, there is hunger and disease. and you must admit there is an increase in suicide here and around the world, can it be our progress has many disillusioned and disturbed.  Maybe just maybe there is no human solution to our problems,  science and technology does not solve all our problems.  Truthfully we are unable to help ourselves where help is needed most.  Science and technology can help with life's lesser problems, but there is no denying we need help only God can supply.  We cannot solve the problem of sin nor the return to God alone.  The cross where Jesus died tells us the goodness of men is not good enough.

Good Morning,  

You have put off the old self with its deeds and practices, Colossians 3.9, and have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and now belong to Christ. Galatians 5.24, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created you. Colossians 3.9, 10.  We are to have the mind of Christ, Romans 12.16 and be like Him in character.  Putting off the old man and putting on the new is both something we did in the past, as seen in the Colossian letter, and in Ephesians 4.22-24.  It is stated as a command.  This is not easy, but the disciple is to grow in Christ, adding daily to his faith.  I myself and I'm sure others are lacking in this command.  Pray for us.

Good Morning,  

The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments, said the preacher. Ecclesiastes 12.13. and according to the psalmist, the fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Psalms 111.10.  The wise man said: the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom.  For by fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. Proverbs 15.33 & Proverbs 16.6.  The psalmist concludes, the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever, His judgements are true and righteous altogether. Psalms 19.9.  Fear God, know and keep His. commandments.

Good Morning,  

Seek you first the Kingdom of God. Mattew 6.33.  For whoever finds Me, finds life and obtains favor from the Lord.  But he who sins against Me, wrongs His own soul; and those who hate Me, love death. Proverbs 8.30-31.  Fear the Lord and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. Ecclesiastes 12.13.  The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way.  And the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8.13.  Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.  If You love Me, keep My commandments." John 14 6-15.
