Dwight L. Moody said, “The Bible was not given for our information, but for our transformation.”
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2
Read the Bible daily. It will change your life. Meditate on God’s Word.
Today is the birthday of Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry. But this is not the most important birthday in her life.
Her second birthday is much more significant. That is the day she asked Jesus to forgive her sin, and accepted Him as her Savior.
She realized that Jesus died on the cross was buried, and was resurrected. He paid the penalty for her sins.
Since that day over 60 years ago, Jesus has been with her, guided her paths and has brought true joy into her life through the good times and the hard times.
The best gift she ever received was being born again.
You can have this wonderful gift also. Salvation is given freely to all who believe and invite Jesus to be their Savior. You must have 2 birthdays to have a life of peace and joy and assurance of Heaven.
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. John3:3
Christians can have fun and enjoy life without using stimulants like alcohol or drugs.
What a great time the Seniors had at Fellowship Baptist Church this past weekend. A great lunch and entertainment by Bob and Darlene Puffer.
After a year of not gathering it was refreshing and joyful to get together with other Christians for a time of relaxation.
Proverbs 17:22 – A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
It is so easy to get distracted by things that are beyond our control. If our attention is on the news, we can become fearful.
Everywhere we look there is something that can cause us to take our eyes off Jesus and live in fear and uncertainty, but we have promises in God’s Word that He is with us, He has everything in control and He is with us through any situation.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
To live a godly Christian life, we need to use the fruit that the Holy Spirit gives us.
God wants us to have all the gifts He Gives us. If we are weak in any area, then pray and ask Him to help us.
Maybe we get angry easily. We need to ask for gentleness. Or if we cannot forgive someone who has offended us, we need to love that person. We know where we are lacking. Today let us decide to use the gifts of the spirit and we will have a life that will please God and the people around us.
An important note. If you have not trusted Jesus as your Savior, you do not have the gifts of the spirit until you ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
