Jesus Is Coming!

August 21, 2022

Today there is no fancy picture. Only scripture. The message that the Lord Jesus wants us to see, read and believe!

  1. 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
  2. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
  3. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
  4. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
  5. 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Thessalonians 4-13-17

Jesus is coming back to receive His born again believers. We do not know the day or the hour, but He is coming. Maybe soon. Are you ready!

Life and Death!

July 16, 2022

Really! Do we as born again Christians really believe that if we die we have gained?

Many people have died for their faith. The disciples, martyrs, missionaries and ordinary people who loved Jesus enough to stand for Him even in the face of terrible deaths.

We Christians, especially in America and the Nations in the free world are soft, lazy and contented to live out our lives in comfort.

What if persecution should come. Are we ready? We need to re-examine our faith. To die IS GAIN. We are going to meet our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Think about it.

Are You Growing?

June 24, 2022

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are no longer the person we were. Our sins have been forgiven and we should be changing and growing.

Old sinful habits should be distasteful to us. Maybe it is bad language, temper, an unforgiving spirit or some other sin that we need to get rid of.

As we read the Bible, listen to godly music, go to a good church where the preacher speaks the truth from God’s Word or it may be that still small voice in our heart. These things help us to grow and become that new person God wants us to be.

So the question is, Are you growing?

We Need Good People in Political Office

June 20, 2022

Carolyn Curtis son, William is running for office in Tennessee. Her request is that you will pray for him and other good conservative candidates that they will win in this upcoming elections.

They need prayer and financial support. Also, help with campaigns. It is important that every citizen votes. Local elections are important for the future. National candidates come from local governors, senators and others who do a great job on the local level.


1
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth 1Timothy 2:1-4

Something Special About Old Hymns!

June 7, 2022

There is something special about old hymns. This one has the whole gospel in one song. Jesus died, was buried, rose again and will return. He did that all for you and me.

One day when heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin—
Dwelt among men, my example is He! Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;

Refrain:
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever:
One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected;
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.

One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He.

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore.

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

We are free from sin, justified and we will be with Him and our loved ones again! Glorious Day!

Thank You Veterans and Active Military

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

Fruit of the Spirit-Gentleness

May 20, 2022

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:22

The definition of gentleness: free from harshness, sternness. soft, delicate and moderate.

Wonderful qualities for us as Christians to demonstrate our love for Jesus and others.

There is an old quote “We catch more flies with honey than vinegar.”

The Bible says, Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

What To Do When You Can’t Pray

May 13, 2022

Sometimes we are in a place where we can not pray. We may be ill depressed or discouraged. Maybe we are in the middle of something that is sinful. God knows all of our problems and He is waiting for us to pray.

Be honest with God. He has the answer. Tell Him that you do not feel like praying and ask the Holy Spirit to pray for you. The Bible tells us that Jesus is making intercession for us. We can’t hide our thoughts from God.

But, thank Him for loving you and understanding. God wants our praise even when we are unable to pray.

Soon the time of prayer will return and our relationship with God will be even better.

When And How We Speak

April 20, 2022

The Bible tells us a lot about how and when we should speak.

Proverbs 21 gives great advice, we will stay out of trouble if we keep our mouth shut. Angry? Sop! Say nothing. Wait and allow time to cool off before we address the subject.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

James 1:26 – If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

1 Peter 3:10 – For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

These are great verses, and there are many more, that teach us to be careful how and when to speak. God will bless us abundantly if we can ask Him to help us to speak kind, encouraging words.

Move On!

April 6, 2022

Sometimes we let things in our past keep us from moving forward.

The sins, the tragedy or poor relationships keep reoccurring in our mind and we feel depressed or unable to do what we know we should to get on with our life today.

God does not want us to dwell in the past. He has forgiven all our past sin, He wants to comfort our broken heart and heal relationships that have been ruined by pride or unforgiveness..

If anything is keeping you from a joyful, productive life give all of the past to Jesus and move on.

Philippians 3:13-14

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Filipenses 3:13-14

13 Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, 14 prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús.
