There is a great chasm of difference between the struggles of the sinner and saint. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so…..
“You weren’t ready…” Are you kidding me!? Sometimes Christians get things wrong. (And: I take a great pleasure by saying: “Duh!”) I’ll say it again: “Duh!” Even pastors can be wrong! Why? Who is the only One who is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient? Right! God, the One who created all! Selah. With that in mind, I want you to grow and think like the Berean Jews in Acts: Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more…..
I did it! I stapled several pages together… and: the stapler DID NOT JAM! Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
My spell check doesn’t want God’s name written as Most High… It wants Highest. Too bad! Why? Because this is what the Bible, the Word of God, says: PSALM 97 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of…..
Show respect for the people who are willing to die for you! Show great respect and love for them who care about people they’ve never met, whom they may never see again; perhaps leaving their own young children without a father or mother because they are willing to die in order to save you or anyone! Selah. Show some respect! Show great respect for those who risk their lives by being targeted in simply putting on their…..
CERTAIN TIMES? AM I CERTAIN? How can I, or anyone in their God-given mind, deservedly say: “Don’t worry! We are living in certain times!”!? And if so, how could we possibly be right? Look around. Are we now living in uncertain times? That’s what most people seem to think… Doesn’t it seem to you that everything is shaky? Families out of control? Kids on drugs? Does it seem the most important things we need just to survive are…..
Dear God, I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness… Romans 1:18-21 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to…..
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them…..
WHEN I DON’T LIKE SOMEONE… there most certainly is a godly reason! 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Romans 16:17 I…..
Maybe some of you wonder why I post this daily on Facebook and www.joyeternalministries.com Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my…..
