The Bible is not just black marks on a book page; it is alive and powerful. Let’s leave behind the idea that it has nothing to do with us today. It has everything to do with every area of our lives today. Following is a quote and a prayer from the Pursuit of God by A.W.Tozer. His message is all I want to share with you this week. I really have nothing to add. The Bible will never be a…
You, complete God made you to be you, not anyone else. He wants you to be completely you, and that can only be with Him in you, completing you. Apostle Paul tells us in Colossians 2:10 that we are complete in Jesus Christ. Without His Life in us, we are missing key parts, namely Himself. You are a temple of God You are not to compare yourself with other people. They are not who you were created to be. Each…
“A whole person is God in a person,” Norman P. Grubb* The Liberating Secret by Norman P. Grubb, Zerubbabel Press, Blowing Rock, North Carolina, (1955) 2010, pg. 52. Not whole apart from God We were created with the ability to communicate with God and be in close friendship with Him. That connection was severed. Cut off. No life. Dead. We are not whole and can never be whole apart from God. God wants to restore it. However, we must admit…
Recently, I read of a well-known pastor of a large church that was quoted saying that we didn’t need the Old Testament. That we needed to concentrate on the New Testament. Have you heard that? Here is a link to one article, if you want to read about it. How would we know the character of God without the Old Testament? Or how could we fully experience God’s mercy without it? The New Testament is based on the Old Testament…
The God’s Love is difficult to comprehend God’s love is beyond our comprehension. It is complete and far-reaching. We tend to limit our understanding of God’s love by what we know of human love. Let’s pray that God would enable us to see His great love for us. We all have a deep need for the Father’s love. I’ve shared a video on youtube called “Father’s Love Letter” and pray it blesses you. Believe Him, it will change your life. Maybe…
Believer’s Priority One First things first. Seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first. Why? Why not our concerns first? It is a law or principle of the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. NKJV What He was saying was don’t let your life be your chief concern. Don’t let your child’s life be your chief concern. Don’t let tomorrow be your chief concern….
Do you believe in God? Do you think that is enough to get you to heaven when your life on earth ends? Are you sure? Can you be sure? What is good enough? How can you know? I want to take a few minutes to talk about head belief and heart belief. Let’s be real. No more fooling ourselves. Let’s face the truth. Lots of people believed in God when Jesus walked this earth. But what did Jesus say to…
These five statements, passages from the book of Revelation, can change your perspective on life. They can even change your life if you truly believe them. I challenge you to say one of these each day of the week. Say it several times throughout the day. Continue to do so for at least one month. Here is a song with similar words. Monday – Revelation 4:8 “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come!” Tuesday…
Can you hear God’s voice? “I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.” Psalms 40:1,2 Feel adrift? Feel alone? Troubled? Uneasy? Have you lost contact with God? Does He seem far away? Is it a scary place? It may seem like a dark pit. You may not…
