Pray For Others, Especially Your Pastor

April 7, 2024

Today, Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Especially praying for your Pastor.

Pastors have many things on their minds. Their family, all the trials of each member of their congregation, and problems we know nothing about.

They have so many burdens and they uplift everyone in times of sorrow and joy. Pray for strength, wisdom and Holy Spirit power in their lives. Then give them a word of encouragement.

Also, never bring a problem of yours to them before they are ready to preach. That quenches the Spirit. Wait. Your Pastor wants to be there for you. You need to be there for him.

God is Worthy of Our Praise!

February 6, 2024

This verse shows us several things.

First, the Lord, Jesus, is worthy of our worship. Not only did He give His life for us by dying on the cross, but He loves us and makes intercession for us to the Father when our enemy attacks us.

He created all things. This world is beautiful. Mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, forests, deserts, and all kinds of animals. We could tell of so much beauty created by Him.

What is amazing, is that He has pleasure in the things He created. He gives us the opportunity to enjoy all the things He created also.

Today, look around. Really look around at the beauty God has created. Then praise Him for all of it, small or large.

Joseph, a Hero of the Faith

January 24, 2024
Joseph in the coat of many colors.

Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel. He was Rachel’s firstborn and Jacob’s eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a coat of many colors. Joseph was seventeen years old, he shared with his brothers dreams of his superiority.

The brothers were jealous and sold him into slavery. They meant it for evil but God meant it for good.

Joseph was sold to the Pharaoh. Was thrown into prison. Interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and was given the blessing of being second in command in the nation of Egypt.

He was able to save his family from certain death due to famine in the land. Thus preserving the Nation of Israel.

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Genesis 50:19&20

God’s Great Creation!

January 19, 2024

If God gives you the privilege of traveling. Wherever you go you will see the beauty God has created.

Not only the natural beauty, but the wisdom that God gave to man to develop ways to travel. Planes, trains, boats, cars, buses and various ways we can get from one place to another.

Then, there are the wonderful man made structures. Monuments, buildings, churches and all kinds of artifacts.

If you can travel in person or see the wonders on TV, books or magazines, as a believer, it is easy to see God’s wisdom and praise Him for His wonderful creation.

The First Hero of the Faith

January 10, 2024

Abel is the first hero listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11.

Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve and the first martyr in the Bible. He was a righteous person who offered a more acceptable sacrifice to God than his brother Cain and was killed by him out of jealousy.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4

True Friends!

January 9, 2024

What is a real friend? Someone who sticks by you no matter what the circumstances. They will rejoice with you when something good happens in your life.

They will sympathize with you in times of sadness.

Most importantly, they will pray with you and is there for you in every situation.

The Bible tells us to have friends we must be a friend.

If you have a friend you are blessed. If you have more than one, God has given you a treasure that is worth more than money can buy.

Maybe you need to reach out to your friend(s) today! Be the friend that they need.

New Year’s Eve A New Beginning

December 31, 2023

Many people will be celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight drinking, going to parties, etc., only to start the New Year with a headache and hangover. We can start our New Year with a clean heart.

Christians take time this evening to pray for forgiveness for the unconfessed sins that we have committed.

If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior there is no better way to start a new year than becoming a new person in Christ.

Happy New Year. May 2024 bring you and your loved ones peace and joy that only the Lord can give.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A New Year Coming

December 30, 2023

2023 is almost over. Just a few more days to reflect on this past year. Every year has both joy and sorrow. Maybe this year there was a new birth in your family, or you had a promotion on your job or moved into a new house. Think of the joy that you had this past year.

Then there may have been sorrow, a death in the family that has left a huge hole in your heart, or maybe you lost your job or your house is foreclosed.

Contrasts in life is a normal thing for man. The good news is that there is a new year coming that is like a blank canvas. God will bring some blessings and He may allow some sorrow, but it is always exciting to look forward to the new year and know that God will direct our path if we trust Him.

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

No Room for JESUS!

December 20, 2023

Joseph must have been frantically looking for a place to stay for the night. Mary was probably already in labor. She was young, it was her first child and she was going through the same pain in childbirth that every mother has when giving birth. Bethlehem was full of travelers. It was a small village with a very limited number of inns. Maybe only one, and the was no room. The innkeeper took pity on Joseph and Mary and allowed them room in his stable.

Most people look at the innkeeper as unfeeling but if you think about it he really did an act of kindness, plus scripture was being fulfilled.

If the innkeeper had known who was to be born in his stable, maybe he would have given up his own room for JESUS.

JESUS wants the best from us. Our gift to Him this Christmas should be giving Him every room in our heart.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Black Friday! Looking For A Bargain?

November 24, 2023

For many years in the USA the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. People are out looking for a bargain. A lot of shopping for Christmas presents.

We are tempted to overlook the true meaning of Christmas and turn it into a day to get and give gifts.

So today, shop if you must but it is a good thing to put Jesus first in your quest for that bargain.

Remember the greatest gift you can give is telling someone about Jesus. That costs absolutely nothing and it is the most lasting gift anyone could receive.

As every man hath received the gift, even sominister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
