“Challenges in life can make you either bitter or better.”
James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Hebrews 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
The church is not the way to heaven; the church is the sign that points to heaven.” – Adrian Rogers
This week witnessing to a man in the hospital, he said he was angry with the church that he attended because he was always asked to give money. He wanted nothing to do with church or God because of a bad experience with a clergyman.
How sad that some denominations and some churches think more of money and church attendance than they do of winning people to the Lord. In this particular instance the church was not a Bible believing church but trusted in tradition and ritual. But sometimes even our “good” churches focus on programs instead of winning souls to the Lord. God sent His Son, Jesus, for one reason, to die so that we might have eternal life and have a home in Heaven. It must break the heart of God that we have become lukewarm and He will hold each church and individual responsible for what we have done for Him.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

“Prayer-the worlds best wireless connection”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
“We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.” Adrian Rogers
2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
“The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America. Although he did not claim to be a born again Christian, he did study Christianity. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence included religious freedom as an important part of our rights as citizens.
From the above quote we see that Jefferson realized that God does change the heart, but from his writings and observations of others, we do not know if he ever accepted Christ as his Savior.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
God has blessed America with some great Presidents. Our country has been governed by men who may or may not have been born again Christians but they honored God and the principles set down in the Bible. Some of their quotes will be posted on the blog in the coming weeks.
George Washington the first USA President honored God in his writings, speeches and at public as well as private events. He was a great statesman and leader and brought the Country through the transition from a colony to an independent nation.
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
A story to start your week off with a smile.
A little girl was asked what is the difference between a pastor and the congregation. She answered, “The preacher gets paid for being good and the people are good for nothing.”
Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
“There is nobody so bad that they can’t be saved and nobody so good that they don’t need to be saved.” Adrian Rogers
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
“Worship in the truest sense takes place only when our full attention is on GOD – on His glory, power, majesty, love and compassion.” – Billy Graham
Are you a true worshiper of God? Our minds tend to wander when we are listening to a sermon, praying or reading scripture. We must give God our full attention when we are coming to Him in worship. Focus on God today and think of what He has done and more importantly who He is.
Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
