Count Your Blessings

Count Your Blessings

If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed. One-third of all the world does not have access to even one.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the… Continue

God's love!

This blog is written for only Christians who are saved through the name and the blood of Jesus.

Have you ever gotten something you did not deserve :) and then wondered, what happened here ? This happened to me.

Going back to when I was 20 years old and I was looking for a job. Here I was sitting in the office of the boss of this company where I applied, I was being interviewed and was asked so many different questions including my political idiology. One of the questions… Continue

AN UNHALLOWED COMPROMISE

What is "an unhallowed compromise"? Barnes' Notes defines it as "an attempt to blend things together which could not be united. One must really displace the other."

The question is - are you trying to blend something into your life which God is telling you to renounce? You know that you cannot hold onto this belief much longer, but you are afraid of persecution or what it will cost you in the end. It's time to let go! It's time to embrace the "cross of Christ" and allow God to take… Continue

WORDS OF WISDOM THAT I LIKE TO SHARE

The Daily Bible Verse : Email Edition

September 12th, 2009

Proverbs 12:16

NIV A fool shows his annoyance at once,

but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

KJV A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

Self-control is a characteristic of wisdom. When we react too quickly and with annoyance, it makes us look foolish.

When we take the time to listen, answer with patience, and overlook insults, we act wisely.

Instead… Continue

LORD, MAKE ME A WEEPER

"Lord, let me weep for nought but sin,

And after none but Thee,

And then I would, O that I might,

A constant weeper be." - Charles Spurgeon

"That should grieve us most by which God's honour suffers and the interests of His kingdom is weakened."

- Matthew Henry

"Christian ministers must mourn over those in the church who refuse to repent of and forsake their sin, for they are spiritually dead."

- The Full Life Study Bible

"None are… Continue

I think my boss is a non-believer

Good morning to all and God Bless!!!

While I was at work yesterday my boss asked me if God can do all things why would he have his only son come to earth and be killed for our sins after all God doesn't need us because he's supposed to be God who can do all...He is always negative and has smart comments about God and also told me not to tell people to have a blessed day,It really bothers me and I always defend God and try to explain to him why we need God but he always has something smart… Continue

When Godly Brothers Dispute and Divide ___Part 1

What happens when we forsake refreshment for pride? What happens when Godly brothers miss God's will and divide?

Sometimes, in the middle of good works being done by Godly brothers in the Lord, disputes and disagreements can arise. How do we handle that? What does Jesus want us to do, when two good people disagree sharply enough to part ways? Should we accept that, and just split up? Or is there a higher call for us, as Christians – as disciples of the master, to live… Continue

JESUS IS ABOUT TO OVERTURN YOUR TABLE

"Merchandise is a good thing in the exchange, but not in the temple." - Matthew Henry

"Great corruptions in the Church owe their rise to the love of money."

"In reformation, it is good to make thorough work; He (Jesus) drove them all out; and not only threw out the money, but, in overturning the tables, threw out the trade also."

- both quotes are from Matthew Henry

In John 2:17, we read of the Lord Jesus - "...The zeal of Thine house hath eaten Me up." This… Continue

A Friend of Souls....

A FRIEND OF SOULS

There are hermit souls that live withdrawn

In the peace of their self-content;

There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart

In a fellowless firmament;

There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths

Where highways never ran;

But let me live by the side of the road,

And be a friend to man.

- Samuel Walter Foss’

I want to be a friend of souls. I want to stand by the side of the road, waiting for weary travelers, in places… Continue

God Opens and Shuts Doors of Opportunity Part 1

We all need to hear from God each day, about many different issues, but there are critical times in our lives when we especially need to know that we are hearing clearly from Him. God wants to speak to us, but we have to be careful that we don’t develop a closed mindset about how He has to speak to us. God has many ways through which He may choose to speak, but whichever way He chooses, he does promise to direct our paths.

It’s not always… Continue

Verse 11 - The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Take courage!"

As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

Why are we so hesitant to Witness for Christ?

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

1 Tim. 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.

We have the power, spirit of love and a sound mind. We have recieve the calling to be witnesses unto Him....but we fall short of witnessing in our day to day life.… Continue

ETERNAL DESTINY

“He who believes in the son has eternal life he who does not obey the son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him”. John 3:36

As Christians our destiny is Heaven as it is a promise from our father as written in 2peter 3:13.

According to Gods promise what does the Bible highlight on it as in regards to this wonderful place?

1. It tells us that when we get there we shall be like him (Jesus Christ) 1john 3:2. to make us like Christ in character is the thing that God… Continue
