Pray For Your Pastor

January 10, 2021

The coronavirus has caused many problems for Pastors. Each Pastor has many decisions to make that involve not only his family but the people in his congregation.

As the churches begin to open again, it is the Pastors responsibility to keep people safe, give everyone encouragement and most importantly preach the gospel.

Pray for your Pastor today. Tell him or send him a note to be an encouragement to him.

1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

Romans 15:30 – Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in [your] prayers to God for me;

The Answer for Distress

January 8, 2021

Sometimes we feel that our world is in chaos. Maybe the news is depressing, we may have problems in our family, illness or surgery is taking a toll on us. Whatever the circumstances, there is one thing we can look to for peace and comfort.

God’s Word tells us that He is with us, He will help us no matter what we are going through. Look to Jesus today for comfort and strength.

The Weather

January 6, 2021

One thing we all have in common, the weather. Wherever you live, north, south, east or west, our days are somewhat controlled by weather.

Some love the cold of winter, you may dislike it, some people love the heat of summer and others hate to be hot.

Whatever, climate we live in, we find something to talk about to others. The weather. We may complain about the cold or heat and only on rare occasions would we say what a beautiful day!

Another thing we all have in common is our need for forgiveness for our sins. It would be wonderful if we would talk freely to others about Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection. He is the answer to our biggest need, no matter what the weather is in the world.

Let us talk about Him as freely as we talk about the weather.

Luke 8:23–25 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

Little Things

January 5, 2021

When God answers prayers about something big, a healthy baby added to the family, a job after being out of work for a long time, unexpected finances just in the nick of time, we Praise the Lord

But, what about the little things, a message from someone who cares about you, a good nights sleep, the beautiful sunrise, a small bird eating at your bird feeder.

Little things. Today, stop for a moment and look around for a little thing that you can Praise the Lord for. He gives us so many little blessings.

Recipe For A Good Day

January 2, 2021

The second day of a new year. Every day is an opportunity to draw closer to Jesus.

It is a good time to start daily communication with God with Bible reading and prayer. Take time for God to speak to you as you meditate on what you have read.

The best time is when you first get up. Your day will go better if it is started with Jesus.

Happy New Year

January 1, 2021

Isaiah 43:18&19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

2020 was a hard year for everyone all over the world. Let us put the past year behind and look forward to a better New Year that is free from illness, fighting and unrest.

We can accomplish this in our personal lives by trusting in Jesus and God’s promises.

A Good Resolution For 2021

December 30, 2020

Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2020. It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2021, and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.

Witnessing is a little more difficult because of social distancing and lack of events and physical gatherings, but we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative. Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.

Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.:
