Time for a Tuneup

August 12, 2017

It’s so exciting to get a new car. It runs perfectly and you want to tell everyone about it. Then after a few months it is time for a tuneup. Tires need rotating, oil needs changing and you stop telling people about your new car. Christianity like that. When we first get saved we are excited and want to tell everybody, but after a few months or years the excitement wears off and we no longer want to witness or tell others about the wonderful gift of salvation. Maybe we need a tuneup. Go back to the Bible and get recharged.

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.


Home Sweet Home

August 9, 2017

Have you ever been away from home for awhile. Vacation, business trip or travel. Then it is time to go “home”. What great anticipation. You may live in a mansion or a small cottage, but whatever the property it is still home. As Christians we should have the same love and anticipation for our heavenly home, Heaven. Waiting for us there is Jesus, our loved ones who have gone on before us, and wonders we cannot even imagine. Jesus said:

John 14:2-3 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Sin

August 2, 2017

Sin may be just a 3 letter word but if you carry it around long enough it will cause death. 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Devil

July 30, 2017

“Give Satan an inch and he’ll be a ruler.”

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Love of the World 

July 29, 2017

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Priorities 

July 28, 2017

August has not even arrived and summer is almost over for some people. School starts soon for the southern states. Some as early as next week. Life seems to move to fast with work, home and responsibilities. In your busy life make sure you take time, first for God, then for family and if priorities are straight every thing else will fall into place.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Love One Another

Fellowship With God

July 6, 2017

We have joy when our adult children take time out of their busy schedule to stop over or call. Their fellowship is precious. Our Heavenly Father wants the same thing from us, His children. God wants to hear from us everyday. He loves to hear about out joys and also our troubles and sorrows. The wonderful thing about Him is He is always with us just waiting to hear and answer our prayers. If you have not talked to Him in awhile stop and pray right now. Fellowship with Him is the most precious blessing.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

True Freedom

July 1, 2017

We are blessed in the United States of America to have freedom of religion for our lifetime. Jesus gives us freedom from our sin for all eternity.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Love One Another

June 27, 2017

This poem was found on the internet about the people we should love to show God’s love to us:

Do Everything In Love

In everything you do,

Do it in love

For the Father is watching

In Heaven above.
At work or at play

Offer words of kindness to others

To the cashier, the barber

The bus driver and new mothers.
Jesus is the example

That we all should follow

Love is the ultimate gift

To give those in good times and sorrow.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
