BITTERNESS TOWARD OBEDIENCE

BITTERNESS TOWARD OBEDIENCE

An F16 fighter jet is an amazing aircraft with incredible capabilities. But there is one thing that a jet pilot requires above all else. That the aircraft reacts completely to his control. If it were to have "a mind of its own" regardless of how remarkable that might sound, it would end up doing as much flying as a door stop.

In the same vein, even if we had all the gifting under the sun, God as… Continue

Questions for Me and for Us All

It is truly spring outside today. The birds are singing, the crocus and tulips have been up for better than two weeks, and the colors are dazzling. Why, then, am I having such inner struggles? I started volunteering at a local hospital last week, and although newly joined, was nominated the Auxillary Club's new secretary for the next two years. I was the only person that seemed to have the interest and the energy of spirit for the job. It seems that only older women (and one man) feel the need… Continue

Being Christian!!!!!

I have been wondering how can we be Christians if we sit and judge others and say a new person in Christ should not be friends with someone the church as a whole has determined to be sinning; are we all not sinners ? We are only to be saved by the grace of God.......we are not perfect ,we can omly strive to be Christ like....yet we shall always fall short.God alone will see into our hearts and see our true selves.I say do as Christ said love your neighbors and also love your enemies ;maybe your… Continue

THE LORD'S WEEKEND DEVOTIONAL, SALVATION ISN'T. . .

Salvation Isn't . . .

Several years ago there was a fad making its way around social circles and even in Churches.

People everywhere were wearing buttons and T-shirts with the words "Try God" written on them.

I loathe that little expression, not because it… Continue

THREE TREES

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver, and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."

Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the… Continue

When God made you, he knew he would never stop loving you

"How precious are your thoughts
concerning me, O God!
How vast in number they are!
If I try to count them,
there would be more of them
than there are grains of sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you."

~Psalm 139: 13-18

THE SEED OF GODS WORD

When a large crowd had gathered and people had come to Jesus from every city, he used this story as an illustration:

"A farmer went to plant his seeds. Some seeds were planted along the road, were trampled, and were devoured by birds. Others were planted on rocky soil. When the plants came up, they withered because they had no moisture. Others were planted among thornbushes. The thornbushes grew up with them and choked them. Others were planted on good ground. When they came… Continue

THE POWER OF GOD OVER LIFE

Do you recognize when people or things shift in your life? Do you embrace it or do you do your best to keep things the way they were?

Think about when you’re driving your car, you have to shift those gears to either go forward or backwards. If those gears don’t shift you don’t move, you stall out, you can’t reach your desired destination. When you refuse to shift you refuse to grow.

This is what happens when God causes a shift in our lives. We start to feel… Continue

PRAY

From one end of the Bible to the other there's a record of those whose prayers have been answered... people who fervently prayed and God answered!
Pray for people who are lost -- people who do not know Jesus as their Savior (Romans 10:1, 1 Timothy 2:1-4)!

Tongues. . . For you?

Good Morning.

"What is the deal with tongues?" is a question I have been asked a number of times; perhaps as a way of describing the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues, I will tell you about my exposure and experience with this gift. When I was 11 years old, my friend invited me to go to church with her at the First Assembly of God. I loved the upbeat feeling when we sang hymns; why, people even clapped their hands! Believe me, it was quite a departure from the Baptist church to… Continue

It's all about the free gift

Good Morning.

We leave our index finger on the page of Acts 2 to consider an important footnote. In yesterday's Morning Briefing, the Holy Spirit descended to rest upon and take residence within the Jewish Christians gathered together in Jerusalem. In obedience to Jesus, they had stayed together, waiting and praying for this gift that Jesus had promised--the Holy Spirit, third person of the Trinity. Do not be confused, the Holy Spirit has always been, but He had not inhabited… Continue

Overcoming Bitterness and Resentment

Overcoming Bitterness and Resentment

"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many" (Hebrews 12:14,15).

When we are offended or disappointed by others, we have to deal with it quickly, or we can get hurt by it, then if that hurt… Continue

Of wind, tongues and fire

Good Morning. Wow! This is a powerful passage. . . "Lord, open our hearts and minds to understand Your Word this day. Amen"

Acts 2.1-13 - When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in… Continue

Torture of Christians in the Philippines

Since joining this site I have had a warm welcome from many kind people. Several of them are residents of the Philippines.

It came as a real shock to read the following news story:
