Good morning.

Today we will remember that all men have a serious disease that only one person had a remedy for.  That disease is SIN, Romans 3:23.  The result of that particular disease is death, Romans 6:23.  Mankind with all their human wisdom and wonderful medical knowledge have no solution for this disease.  Why?  Human remedies are of no help with this spiritual illness.  Only the sacrifice of the Son of God gave mankind true hope of finding a way out of this terrible situation, Romans 5:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19.  Yet, sadly so many don’t know they have this disease.  Others will not accept the truth that only by applying that blood to their sin stained soul can one be redeemed and have true salvation.  What can we do to help our fellow man?  Take the message of the true gospel of Jesus Christ to every person, Matthew 28:18-20.  This is the power to save—the message of the cross, Romans 1:16.  Why not humble ourselves and look to Him who died in order to give true meaning to this life and that one to come!  Open your heart today and mediate on His precious words of life, John 6:63.  God leaves that choice to each of us, Romans 6:16-18.  Please consider the value of your soul and terrible price to be paid to reject His gracious offer, 2 Corinthians 5:10-11. Time is on God’s side not ours.

Good morning.

God has granted us another day to enjoy and serve Him.  Everything that one has, hopes to have and the many blessings we enjoy in our lives are an expression of God’s love for us, James 1:17. How can anyone ever repay Him for all the good He has done, and will continue to do for us in this life?  Jesus said it best in John 14:15, love Him and obey His words.  Yet, as simple as that sounds it’s a daily challenge for each of us.  One must submit and surrender their lives to Him by seeking His will first, Matthew 6:33.  His will must replace my will and that is a battle for each of us.  Yet, with Christ it can be accomplish,  Philippians 4:13.  Take time to talk with Him in prayer, read and mediate on His words and it will help us in fighting against our adversary the devil, 1 Peter 5:8.  God is good and we thank Him for His love and grace in our lives.  May we strive to be the best influence and example today so we can be of help in leading the sinner to Him and the benefits of the cross, Galatians 2:20. Wishing all of you a rich and blest day.

Good Morning,

Life can always show us how sudden things can change in our lives that catch one off guard.  We are disappointed that these inconveniences must be endured and accept the changes they will bring into our lives.  Yet, please remember some things. God is still with us to bear our burdens, Hebrews 13:5-6; our brethren are always praying for us, James 5:16.  When we have these situations it’s a time to allow our faith and trust in Him who can help us through all of our troubles, Romans 8:28. Yes, our plans must change but in a little while they can be fulfilled later.  This will presents an opportunity for each of us to step up and help our brother to take care of things he won’t be able to do for little while, Romans 12:15; Galatians 6:9-10.  Rest well my brother you are in good hands!

Good Morning,

God gave some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some Pastors, and some teachers, for the perfection of the Saints, for the working of the ministry, for the edifying of the body Christ, which is His church. Ephesians 4.11-12.  Although His body is made up of different parts, all of the parts are to work together in unity, being of the sane mind and speaking the same thing so there is no division among us Jesus prayed for unity John 17.11,John 17.20-21.

Good Morning,

Only those who endure temptation when he is tried will receive the promised crown of life which has been promised to those who love God and His beloved Son, Jesus the Christ.  But as the world goes, disciples sometimes like to say that it is God who tempts them.  But this is just a lie for it is written that God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does He tempt anyone.  Do we not understand that we are tempted when we withdraw from God by our own lusts; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, and when lust is conceived it brings sin; and sin when it is finished brings us spiritual death? WE as disciples must be careful not to err when we are tempted and tried.  My thoughts from James 12:16.  Thanks for reading.
