Have you been SAVED? Romans 10.1-10

Good Day!

Growing up in the Baptist church, I heard folks say things like, “I was saved when I was 12 years old,” or “Where did you get saved?” or “I am praying that he will be saved.” In every case, they were talking about when (or if) someone came to faith in Jesus Christ. But somewhere along the line, the word “saved” has gotten a bad rap. Is it because people associate it with loud, finger-pointing televangelists? Perhaps. Is it because people think of ‘getting saved’ with…

God’s Word Goes Forth: Rejoice in Hope

Introduction

Jeremiah 29:1-23: Jeremiah brings a message from the Lord. He reminds the Jewish exiles that they are living in Babylon because the Lord brought them there. He says that rather than pining to leave, they should settle there, build houses, and create a life for themselves.

Today’s Scripture:…

"From The Heart" - Poems by Joye Atkinson

ARE YOU ASHAMED OF ME

One night not too long ago when I was fast asleep, I had a dream so vidid it woke me from my sleep

I dreamed the Lord came to my house as any friend would do; I saw He was troubled needing someone to talk to

I said "Come in Lord please sit down. What brings you out this way? He looked at me through tear stained eyes

Then I heard him say: My spirit is so heavy, I'm burdened deep…

Tis a Difficult Thing … who can abide it? Romans 9.6-33

Romans 9 started with Paul saying he would do whatever it took—if only his Jewish brethren would come to saving faith in Jesus. From there, there is just no natural break in his explanation to the Roman church about God’s sovereign will. In truth, we should read Romans 9 through 11 in one block, but we will just look at the remainder of this chapter. It is long, but necessary to grasp Paul's meaning. I have underlined some key phrases for our consideration:

So, even though God had… Continue

Does Anyone Have a Good Marriage?!?!

There is too much unresolved spiritual warfare around Christian marriages. The marriage statistics would make you believe that all marriages are the same...troubled and headed for divorce. Our media sources are filled with sensational stories of infidelity and divorce. We KNOW that God has a better way.

My wife, Shebra, and I have been married for 33 years. We have learned the power of covenant living. For better, for worst...we…

A Prayer for Giving of Ourselves ... a prayer for giving others Christ.

A Prayer for Giving of Ourselves … a prayer for giving others Christ. Romans 9

Our greatest fulfillment lies in giving ourselves to others.1

In fact, Paul said, ‘Tis more blessed to give than to receive.’2

Hmm . . . I think I feel like praying . . .

Dear Lord,

We read that Paul was so deeply burdened for the souls of his brothers that he would give up the one thing that meant more than anything to him—your love!—if that would mean the Jews would come…

Matthew 6: 33

"But seek first the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness and all these

things will be added to you."

It amazed me how everything is revealed to me since that time, I seek for HIS love. Never an easy journey but worth it. And as I walk farther to go more personal with HIM the deeper I get involve things falls into place. Awesome is the way to describe it! When those days I walked like a blind lame woman...this time I feel HIS light and HIS strength working in my life. If before I… Continue

Thankfulness depends on what is in your heart, not what is in your hand.

Most people have no trouble finding things to complain about: traffic is slow, gas is too expensive, the weather is bad, prices are too high. Yet in every single situation, that same person also has a lot to be thankful for: he can drive, has a car, has a shelter to be protected from the weather, and has the money to purchase…

Your outer life is your reputation with people, but your inner life is your reputation with God.

It can be easy to compromise one's inner life in hopes of maintaining a good outer life. While there is certainly nothing wrong with a good outer life, we can't allow our reputation with others to become more important than our reputation with God -- He…

Losing My Faith

Mostly thing have turned bad. They are apparently not doing well and most of the problems are due to bad decisions being made at the top. They are…
