Greetings Brethren and Friends,

In both the old and new testament scriptures speak of a perverse and crooked generation, a stubborn and rebellious generation, an adulterous generation, a faithless generation.  From generation to generation it seems God's people have had a difficult time remaining faithful to God.  Because of sin; faith can weaken, hearts can harden and go astray from His word.  In Romans 15.4, Paul told those in Rome and by extension, us, whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.  But have we learned?  Or is this generation like those of the past?  (Questions to ponder).  We live in a world of trials, troubles and temptations.  But there is still hope for our generation, for the One who has been given all authority in heaven and earth.  Jesus the Christ has told us we would face these things in the world, but that we should be of good cheer FOR HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD!  See John 16.33. Sin is the reason for trials and tribulations.  And Satan dresses up temptations to look so good and inviting that we can and some do fall away and walk with the Lord no more.  Don't fall for Satan's lies.  Stay close to the Lord and you will become more than conquerers.  Rejoice in the Lord and thank God for Jesus.

Father,  we give thanks to You for Jesus.  Help us to stay firmly planted on Your word that we not fall for Satan's lies.  Increase our faith.  Help our unbelief.  Strengthen our hearts as we walk with You in the light of Your words.  Help us to follow the way of escape which You provide from all temptations.

In Jesus name, AMEN 

Ref: Philippians 4.4

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

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Our God is a merciful God (Deuteronomy 4.31), who has shown us what is good and requires us to Love mercy (Micah 6).

Jesus said "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."(Matthew 5.7). His mercy is everlasting (Psalms 100.5). Mercy and truth have met together (Psalms 85.10). And the wise man said, "Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.(Proverbs 3.3). God who is rich in mercy, has shown His mercy to us because of His great love for us (Ephesians 2.4), "therefore we should be merciful toward others, even our enemies just as our Father is merciful.

(Read Luke 6.27-36).

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name, bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with honor and majesty. Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His mercy endures forever. Psalms 103.1; 104.1; 106.1. It is the Lord God who created, and sustains us. By His grace, and through the blood of His beloved Son, Jesus, He offers salvation to all who know, keep and do His commandments. To those who remain faithful till death, He has promised the crown of life. Revelation 2.10. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
