Good Morning,  

Paul wrote in his first letter to the church at Corinth about being thankful to God and a reason why.  "Thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.  Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong, let all you do be done with love."  As Christ's disciples we must be brave and strong in the work of the Lord, spreading His gospel to others for this is God's will for us.

From 1 Corinthians 15.57-58; 1 Corinthians 16.13-14.

Good Morning,  

We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  And I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to to come nor height nor depth nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8..37-39.  God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5.8.  The love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge so we may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3.19.  If we are to have the mind of Christ, then we must let our love toward others grow just as His love for us.  So let your love grow through study, knowledge and the doing of His commandments.  

Hope everyone has a great Saturday.  I am looking forward to being with you in the morning to express our love for God through worship.

Good Morning,  

How can we not love our God, the God who created us?  The God who out of His deep love for us, sent His only begotten Son (Jesus) to descend to this low ground of sin and sorrow to die a most cruel and brutal death on a cross, just so we might have redemption for our sins and give us hope of eternal life and a reason to go on.  Our God, through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son redeems us, and through His shed blood, cleanses us and washes away our every repented sin.  We are not perfect while here, but we should conduct our loves to bring glory, honor and praise to His name so others might see our good works and glorify Him also.  God wants no one to perish in their Sin, but wants all to repent, and obey Him.  

Father I pray for your forgiveness when we stumble or fall.  In Jesus Name, AMEN.  

How can we reject so great a salvation.  I will glorify the Lord.

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.
