Good Morning,

As disciples of Christ we are not to be conformed to this world, but is transformed by the renewing of the mind to prove what is the good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Romans 12.2.

And does His will from the heart. for we are His servants. Ephesians 6.6.  The disciple does not live any longer in the flesh for the lust of men, but for the will of God. 1 Peter 4.2.  Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and lives and walks in the Spirit. Galatians 5.24-25.

Good Morning,

According to the scripture, the hour is coming and now is when, TRUE worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and in TRUTH.  For God is seeking such to worship Him, for God is Spirit. John 4.23-24.  So there must be also false or UNTRUE worship that is unacceptable to the Father.  In Matthew 15.8-9, Jesus said people draw near to Him with their mouth, but their heart is far from Him and they worship Him with vain worship, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.  And in Acts 17.23, Paul told the Athenians, they ignorantly worship God, ignorant of the truth about worship.  So be careful how you worship our God and be absolutely sure you are worshipping God in an acceptable manner to Him according to His word and not the word of man, otherwise your worship is vain and God will reject it.  Read, study and hear the "God breathed" word of God, because as Matthew 7.21 points out; "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  On that great day of judgement by the Lord there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, because of how we worship God here on earth. Matthew 8.12.

Good Morning

Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious and he who believes in Him will by no means be put to shame.  Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.  A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.  They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they were appointed. (From 1 Peter 2.7-8).  In verse 9 Peter speaks to and of those who follow Christ (Christians), those who believe, obey in all faithfulness, he says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,  His own special people, that you may proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light.  It is Christians who make up Christ's church (Matthew 16.18), the only church that was purchased by His very own blood, (Acts 20.28).

Good Morning,

The disciple is to rejoice in the Lord always. Philippians 4.4, and rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Romans 12.15.  Rejoicing only in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13.6.  Rejoicing starts with a pure and honest heart, and is multiplied by being obedient to the will of God, rejoicing and being thankful. We probably could all do better.

Good Morning,

Sometimes Christians, like everyone, worry about things. but we have a loving God who says: Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5.7. And let not your heart br troubled; You believe. in God, believe also in Me. John 14.1. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4.7.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful Colossians 3.15.  So we should take no thought for our life, what we shall eat or drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on.  Is not life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?  The fowls of the air sow not neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet the Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? Matthew 6.26.  Therefore we need not worry about our life, what we will eat or drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matthew 6.25.  Disciples of Christ should not worry, for God will find a way for you.
