Good Morning

If we, as disciples of Christ, are to stand against the wiles of our adversary, the devil, who walks among us, we must be sober minded and vigilant at all times knowing that we too can be taken in by his lying deceitful ways.  He is always looking for ways to attack not only us but also our children with immoral principals of lustful, fleshly, sinful ideals and passions which war against the soul and can weaken our faith.  Now is the time when we must be bold and courageous humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God as we fight for our faith fighting not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness in this age and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6.12).  We must be loyal and true to Christ, abhorring all evil and clinging to what is good, not being overcome with evil but always doing what is good.  For whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. (Proverbs 17.13).

Good Morning,

To show that we are Christ's disciples, He has commanded us to love one another as He has loved us. (John 13.34,35). Paul tells us to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness and lonngsuffering; bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Chris forgave you, so you must also do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your heart, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (See Colossians 3.12-17).

What a blessing, what an honor, what a pleasure it is to serve the risen Savior according to His good pleasure.

Good Morning,

Father, we thank you for Jesus and for Your word.  Create in us a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within us.  We pray the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts will be acceptable in Your sight, that we might walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him and being fruitful in every good work.  Increase our faith, strengthen our hearts, give us courage to boldly teach Christ's gospel to others and forgive us our repented sins.  In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Good Morning,

God sent Jesus that the world, through Him, might be saved (John 3.17).  And He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1.4)  This same Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, has commanded us to go and make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things which He has commanded us.  The world needs to know the life saving gospel of Jesus the Christ, which clearly teaches that, YES Christ still receives sinful man.

Good Morning,

The word of God is powerful and sharper than any two edged sword and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4.12).  Every word of God is pure (Proverbs 30.5), and truth (John 17.17).  The gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for everyone (Romans 1.16).  Read it, study it, trust it, obey it.  It is a life changing experience.

Thank You, Father, for Your powerful word that will change the life of all who will believe and obey it.  Help us to study a portion of Your word each day that we might be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in us.  And thank You for Jesus, our Savior and redeemer, for His church, and the blood He shed to purchase it.  In Jesus name we pray. AMEN
