Tomorrow is Father’s Day in the USA. God tells us to honor our Father, Mother and also our neighbor. What can we do to show honor to the ones that are closest to us?
Respect, good manners, listening and helping are ways we can show honor. We should not need a special day to show honor to anyone, but everyday should be a day to honor the ones we love.
Many Americans do not know that today, June 14, is Flag Day. This day is set aside to commemorate the original flag of the USA. The original had 13 stripes and 13 stars.
The Revolutionary War was fought by the patriots in 13 colonies. Each colony had its own flag. George Washington and the founding fathers decided that there should be one flag to show unity of the new Country.
Today, more than ever we need to once again come together in unity and peace.
God has richly blessed the USA with years of peace and prosperity. We citizens and especially Christians should unite together in love. We need to pray for our country, not only on Flag Day but everyday that God will restore peace, love and respect for one another.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
If you have never given you heart to Jesus, do it today. He will make this day the most blessed day of your life.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13, KJV
God’s Word and your prayer should be the priority in your life. Get up 15 minutes early everyday to spend time alone with God and your day will go much smoother. If you are not in the habit of having devotions early in the morning, try it and see how you will be blessed.
Today, some of us can go to church for the first time in several months, others are still having to stay at home due to the restrictions from coronavirus.
Home, at church or wherever you are today there is one thing we all should do. Worship God. He set aside a day for His children to worship and unfortunately many have chosen to ignore our privilege to go to church.
We have gone on for many years treating Sunday as any other day of the week and then coronavirus came along and took away our right to go to church. Have we learned anything?
Just as we pack for a trip, there are things we need to “pack” on our journey toward Heaven. The first and most important is Salvation. Being saved is our ticket, and without it we cannot enter. Prayer, Faith, Love Joy, Patience, Goodness, Truth, Service, Witnessing and Forgiveness. (you may think of a few more) are needed for our trip.
In this picture is a cat which cannot be taken and on our life’s journey we need to leave out things also, Hate, Lying, Gossip, Pride and Disobedience are a few.
As you prepare for Heaven, what are you “packing” to be ready?
1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
As a Christian it is hard to watch the news, especially the liberal media.
The Bible tells us to love one another. Do you want to others as you would have them do unto you. What we are seeing in the news in our towns and cities is the complete opposite of what our country should be.
We need intervention from God. The only way that he’s going to heal our land is if we Christians humble ourselves and seek Him.
One policeman’s action has caused chaos in the USA right now. Violence, destruction, burning, looting. SIN.
One man’s action, Adam. His disobedience to God caused all mankind to be born in sin.
One man’s action, Jesus. Came into the world to die on the cross for the forgiveness of sin.
One man’s action. As Christians we are commanded to love one another and resist sin.
One man’s action. If you have never asked Jesus to forgive you and invite Him to be your Savior or will you continue in sin?
Each man, woman and child has a choice. What will your action be?
Romans 5:15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Do you have someone in your life that you find hard to love? Maybe you don’t agree on an important issue like politics, or this person my have an irritating habit. For whatever reason you find that person hard to love.
This is when you need to rely on the Holy Spirit to show God’s love through you. You can choose to love. Ask God to give you love for that person and then pray for him or her. It is almost impossible not to care for someone you pray for regularly.
Love considers others first.
Love looks for the best.
Love shows respect.
Love seeks unity.
Love isn’t selfish.
Love offers the best.
Love displays patience.
1 Peter 1:22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Today is cofounder of SOS Events Ministry, Carolyn Curtis, birthday. She was born 82 years ago and has had great life. But, that is not her most important birthday.
She has 2 birthdays. The first was her physical birth. The second was her spiritual birth over 60 years ago. That was the day she realized she was a sinner and there was no hope for her unless she asked Jesus to be her Savior.
We have no choice on the day of our physical birth, but we have to make a choice if we want the second birth. The question is, Do you have 2 birthdays?
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
