Overcoming End Times Deceptions

Overcoming End Times Deceptions

End time deceptions are going to be difficult for us to expose and overcome unless we give ourselves fully to Christ Jesus and study His Word in the Bible each day. We must not forget that Satan knows the Bible more than anyone on…

What happens when you baptize yourself in the Christian faith?

My church tends to hold baptisms about every other month and I'm thinking of finally getting baptized the next time it comes up. I'm very nervous because Lord knows that I am FAR from being the person I am trying to transition to. However I do attend church, read the Bible (not often maybe one scripture a day for now) and have started to really develop a spiritual bond with the Lord and Jesus Christ. I want to get baptized in order to finally make Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and to leave…

2 Cor 12:9

2 Cor 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. NIV

But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me.… Continue

The heart of God meets Philippi. Philippians 1.3

The heart of God is so full of love we have no way of comprehending it.

The heart of God desires one thing—to love and be loved by humanity.…

Poem: Danger of Zealous Fervor

Yes, the goal is to reach souls;

but at what further cost?

Unacceptable is using fear as mind control

for reaching those considered 'lost'.

When not as an example of victorious living,

the principles of God appear to lose credibility.

If not demonstrating a God that's loving,

then appeal of the Kingdom lacks desirability.

To berate skeptical souls with Hell's threat

will deliberately cause immediate offense.

Salvation is not a game with souls…

Poem: Eternity

In the quiet garden of Heaven,

one day I'll walk beneath the trees

with the coolness of God's Spirit

flowing more gently than an Earthly breeze.

In the royal kingdom of priests,

I'll run barefoot on streets of soft gold,

overwhelmed by the perfection of peace,

following where angels had previously strolled.

Before the awesome throne room,

I'll exude continual heartfelt praise

as part of God's familial host

safe and secure in everlasting…

Take Courage.

All through the Word we are told, “ take courage,; take heart; be of good cheer; be comforted.

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Ps 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Mark 6:50 because they all… Continue

Peace that brings the smile of contentment. Philippians 1.1-2

Peace is a sought-after thing—often elusive in this day and age. Now I am not talking about the absence of war, or the absence of violence, but rather the state of inner tranquility, of serenity. Actually, peace is peddled in many ways, and people are willing to do just about anything to get it! Aromatherapy, self-help books, yoga, relaxation, stress-relief techniques,…

MEEKNESS! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Quite a while back,someone asked me what my thoughts were on the meaning of the word "meek". There are many who are under the misconception that it means "to make a doormat of oneself" or to allow oneself to be dominated. Huh!! It is a word that in some human minds has taken on a meaning that is quite distorted. We cannot even take a stand for our Lord if those meanings were true. To me ,meekness just means applying self control when we stand in an assertive yet gentle manner in our beliefs… Continue

Good Morning

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Routine can really get us down. It’s hard to be joyful when we think we’re just facing another routine day. Thanks to God, we don’t have to dread the coming day.

No matter how hard it may be, I’ve found that it is crucial to wake up in the morning and say and believe, “Good morning, God!” Decide that this…

What Happens When You Take God Out Of Schools- Makes You Think

After a discussion in chatroom, I felt inspired to share this email I recieved a time ago,

In light of the recent shooting in Massachusetts, let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.... the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt…

Sick and tired of trying your best to lift people up and inspire them and bring them a little more happiness,being a cheerleader,sharing their burdens and then trying to help them see the bright side and helping them to see and realize that God is there for them and he will do wonders for them. And then getting kicked upside the head by them. Yes,I get tired of it especially when one works with the public for a living and… Continue

SAFE IN GOD'S ENDURING MERCY AND LOVE

While I was reading this particular Psalm I kept getting this vision of that old cartoon (of all things) the Roadrunner(Beep,beep)! Man, that nasty coyote just could not seem to get his paws on that Roadrunner no matter how many times he tried. Reminds me of how the devil just never gives up either and how our Almighty God will ALWAYS come through for us. Each time we are being chased down or facing satans ugly ways of seeking to devour us, the Lord will deliver us and our faith builds and… Continue
