Scriptures of the Day: What About Your Friends

December 7, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: , | Leave a comment

Proverbs 27: 5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love 6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

Ephesians 4:25 What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.

A true friend tells you the truth about yourself and about your actions. A true friend doesn’t shy away from saving your soul and improving your relationship with God. But, as a true friend, the truth is delivered in love – not judgment. Be a true friend, give loving rebuke and accept it, and grow together in Love (God is Love).

Scriptures of the Day: Check Your Status

December 6, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: , | Leave a comment

Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding gives favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

If we find ourselves in a hard or difficult situation, we need to check our status with God. We should ask ourselves the questions, are we truly giving God our all? Do we totally trust God? Have our lifestyles been pleasing to God?

God gave us the key to success in life through His Son Jesus. With Him we can have success in our life, our finances, our families, carriers, etc. God wants us to prosper and we were never meant to suffer or lack anything. If your life seems to be in a rut check your status with God, repent, and live a life that is truly pleasing to God.

Why Christianity?

December 5, 2010 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Q: What separates Christianity from other religions? With all the other religions in place, what makes Christianity the right religion? How do we explain that Christianity is right?

Here are only 3 answers out of many

A: We can speak about our God’s love. He loved us so much until He sent His Son to earth to be a sacrifice for the sins of mankind (John 3:16). What other religion can say the sins of man were paid by the Son of God?

A2: We can speak about our God’s mercy. The god’s of other religions hold each person accountable for every sin in their life. Our God grants us mercy by forgiving us of our sins and remembering them no more (Hebrews 8:12).

*A3: Finally, we can speak about the consequences of unbelief. Although God loves everyone, our God still requires a confession that His Son Jesus is Lord and a belief that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Without that confession and belief we are destined for hell. We must also live a loving life by loving God and loving others. Other religions require good deeds to outweigh the sins they commit. Through our love, we create good deeds automatically and remember with God’s mercy we are not required to repay our sins with good deeds.

Send these facts WITH LOVE to all the non-Christians in hopes they will make Jesus their Lord and Savior.

Scriptures of the Day: Dwelling Place

December 4, 2010 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

(AMP) John 15: 4Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.

We are fruitless without God. We find our nourishment in God and within God’s word. If we fail to feed ourselves, we don’t grow.

Diligently (even when we don’t feel like it; even when our sins seem to separate us) read God’s Word and communicate with Him. He has promised us that as we live in Him, He will continue to live in us, and then we will continue to thrive. Praise God for the opportunity to live and grow in Him!!

Scriptures of the Day: Deceptions of the Devil Pt.3

December 3, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: | Leave a comment

Revelations 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Anonymous Quote: “I know that Satan doesn’t exist except in people’s heads. He’s the excuse for bad behavior.”

This quote is becoming more popular with people of the world everyday. This is another deception that the devil has placed in the minds of many.

If the devil can make people believe he doesn’t exist, he can wreak havoc in the lives of others.
When peoples experience trials and tribulations in their lives, they have no one else to blame but, God.
When people believe God is the cause of their trials, they take on the mindset that God is not real.
When people die in the belief that God isn’t real, they unfortunately go to hell for eternity.

Eternity in hell came from the small deception that Satan is not real.

People of God don’t be deceived. Keep your mind and trust in God forever.

Scriptures of the Day: Deceptions of the Devil Pt.2

December 2, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: | Leave a comment

Revelations 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Most people are ignorant to the idea that they are being used by the devil. People in general are not aware the real spirit behind people’s devilish actions is Satan. Yes, we all make our own choices but, Satan is great at convincing others to follow his ways. From racism to people committing adultery, all sinful actions are planned by Satan.

When we don’t realize that Satan is behind the sinful actions of others, we blame or attack people.
When we blame or attack people, we no longer are walking in love (Ephesians 5:2).
When we no longer walk in love, we now become disobedient to God’s commandment to love.
When we are disobedient to God’s commandments, we are now in sin (1 Samuel 15:23).
When we are in sin, our lives will be negatively affected and the manifestation of our blessings will not come to pass.

Do you see how the devil’s plan can even hurt the faithful Christian without them even knowing about it?

People are not the problem, Satan is. God instructed us to love and have compassion for everyone. Blame and attack the devil to be removed from the minds of people through prayer and declaration.
Walk in Love

Scriptures of the Day: Deceptions of the Devil Pt.1

Revelations 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Just as God uses people to be vessels for the Kingdom of God on earth, Satan deceives people and uses them as vessels to promote his sinful affairs as well.

Most people are ignorant to the idea that they are being used by the devil. The truth is anyone who blatantly goes against God’s word is a vessel for the devil. From rationalizing sin to consciously sinning people are being used by the devil.

Through our sinful actions we promote the characteristics of Satan and we subconsciously inform everyone its okay to sin.

Walk in the ways of righteousness and be a vessel for God to be blessed and be a blessing to others.

Scriptures of the Day: People Pleasers

November 30, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: | Leave a comment

Proverbs 18:24 The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

We are called to love others showing them godly love even when they wrong us (John 13:34). But in doing good to others, we must retain our focus on pleasing God first (Exodus 20:3).

Some people want to be friends with everyone and disliked by none so much that they may intentionally lie to others to “spare their feelings” (Deut 5:20), or refuse to save their brother by lovingly telling them the truth about themselves (Matthew 18:15), or join into sinful activities (Galations 6:1).

But remember, there is a friend who is real, loving, and has our backs more than any other being and no person or thing should ever dissuade us from honoring Him above all else (Joshua 24:15).

Scriptures of the Day: Commit To Christ

November 29, 2010 in Uncategorized | Tags: | Leave a comment

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Why do some run away from giving their life to Christ?

What people know as “fun” go against some of the very things God instructed us not to do.

Some people feel like they should get all their “fun” out the way and then come to Christ. Unfortunately others get so lost in their “fun” until they never seem to accept Christ. What people fail to realize is part of their purpose and blessings are being passed by while they have “fun.” It’s unfortunate that people are willing to pass up guaranteed blessings to have “fun” in the world. It’s even more unfortunate that people are willing to gamble their salvation for “fun.” Time is too short to waste on worldly affairs. Accept Jesus as your Lord and commit your life to Christ today.
