Greetings Friends,

Sin was the cause of scandalous social conditions; rampant sexual immortality, disregard for life, debasement of women, divorce, and suicide out of control.  They were an adulterous, perverted, crooked generation.  But there was something better for the people.  This moral collapse was survived by those who took personal responsibility for their actions.  By receiving the word of truth and obeying it through baptism and by staying faithful.  They continued in fellowship; worshiping, praying and staying active in the church.  By studying the word daily to increase their knowledge of Christ and sharing it with others.  And by evangelizing; spreading the good news of the gospel.

Read again the scandalous conditions that took place in Rome.  Sound familiar?  Then read again how Christians survived this moral collapse.  Stay faithful, strong and courageous Christian.

Greeting Brethren and Friends,

Without faith it is impossible to please God - Hebrews 11.6.  So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10.17.  Christians are commanded to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - 2. Peter 3.18.  Knowledge is one of the Christian graces we are to add to our faith - 2 Peter 1.5-7.  Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus the Christ, whom He has sent - John 3.17, and is only possible through our knowledge of God's word - 2 Peter 1.2-3.  It is our duty to learn and to teach all that Christ has commanded us - Matthew 28.20.  Jesus said: "If you continue in My word, then you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free" - John 8.31-32.  In prayer to the Father, Jesus said: "Your word is truth" - John 17.17.  God's word is that truth which sets us free.  God's word can be understood, so do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is - Ephesians 5.17.

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

There's a great day coming and what a glorious day it will be for all the faithful who have fought the good fight and have loved and obeyed the Lord while here on earth.  For they will hear the Savior say, "well done good and faithful servant."  But it will also be a sad day for the disobedient sinner who will hear the word's, "depart from Me I never knew you."  Is your heart right with God?  Are you prepared if Jesus comes today?

The word of God.

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Every word written in God's inspired word (The Bible). is first of all pure, true, righteous and packed with His power.  His word is to be applied to the life of all who claim the name of Jesus and is to be carried to the world boldly by them.  The word of God is written and the gospel told in terms that even a child can understand.  So it makes one wonder why so many today are unwilling to open its pages and read the words of our Master.  My suspicion is that they are afraid because His word demands His will which may go against the things they want to do.

Father we pray that you will help Your children to mature in your word, apply it to their personal life and boldly tell it to the world. May hearts be softened and receptive to Your truths before it is too late.

In Jesus name, AMEN.

Try to do the right thing, cause you can't be wrong if you're doing it by the book!

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who humbled Himself and obeyed to the point of death on the cross (Philippians 2.5).  Serve Him with a loyal heart and a willing mind, for the Lord searches the heart and understands the intent of the thoughts.  Seek Him and you will find Him; forsake Him and He will cast you off forever. (1 Chronicles 28.9).  Turn your eyes upon Jesus; let the inspired word of God guide and direct your steps down the pathway of love, righteousness and purity, as we travel to our eternal home, that home not built by human hands.

Father, help us each day to be of sober mind able to receive your inspired word.  And Father, search our hearts to see if there is any wicked way in us; lead us in the way everlasting.

In Jesus name we pray, AMEN
