Good Morning,  The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1.18. AndI I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. Romans 1.16. God's grace which brings salvation has appeared to all men and teaches us to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present age, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. The Lord sets apart for Himself those who through obedience to His word are godly, those who love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind and those who are strong and courageous, take up their cross daily and follow Him. It is by way of the cross that leads us to our heavenly, eternal home. So seek you first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and meditate on His word which is true, just, pure, lovely and of good report and remain faithful to Him until death and you will recvive the crown of life. Revelation 2.10. God wishes none to perish but that all men everywhere would repent and come to Him. We owe our life to Him, He gave His life for us.

Good Morning,  According to the scriptures, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness and blasphemies. Matthew 15.9. Man's heart reveals the man. Proverbs 27.19; For as a man thinks in his heart so is he. If we allow Satan, and not God to rule in our hearts we will most certainly stray from God's ways and our hearts will be hardened against Him.  Oh, my God, create in me a clean heart; renew a steadfast spirit within me; search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the Way everlasting. My heart, my heart, my God, yearns for You and Your righteous ways. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN, AMEN. Psalms 139.23,24.

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,  Growing up as a child we had to wear hand me down jeans with holes in the because we were financially poor. Today's youth pay an excessive amount of money for jeans with holes in the knees and other places. Is it because they are rich and money is so available? Is it to satisfy their ego? Is it because it is worldly and pleases man? Is it because they are with the 'in' crowd? Wouldn't it be great if jeans with holes in the knees was from spending much time kneeling in prayer to God with humble and thankful hearts? Just a thought for this morning. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good Morning,  Yesterday is gone, there may not be a tomorrow; this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Live honorably and godly in Christ Jesus according to the will of God while contending for the faith which was once for all delivered to the Saints. Be patient, be gentle and kind, love others just as Christ loved you and forgave you. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise Him all creatures here below.
