Do you find it hard to love some people? Maybe it is a fellow worker, a disagreeable neighbor, someone in your family, a person of another race or religion.
It is a natural reaction to not love someone who has hurt you, but that is the problem. It is a “natural” reaction. The Bible tells us in Ephesians as Christians to put off the old man which is corrupt and put on the new man, which is holy.
How then do we overcome the lack of love in our lives? Start to pray for that person if it is an individual. Ask God to change your heart if it is a group of people.
We cannot be an obedient Christian or have God’s blessings if we have hate in our heart.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20
– The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
Today, the largest event that the Florida SOS Events Team participates in begins. For the next 11 days volunteers will be at booth 58 for the 22nd year. Over five thousand people have been saved at this event in those years. Praise the Lord!
Please pray for this year to be one of the best. Pray for our volunteers, the people who pass by to be interested and receptive when they hear the gospel.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
“Just sayin’…Church is important. Gathering together as a group of believers is important. Encouragement from the Word and other believers is important. I’m not sure where you are today. Maybe you are tired…be renewed at church. Maybe you are depressed…be uplifted at church. Maybe you are discouraged by the church itself…be reconciled at church. Maybe you have lost your way…be directed at church. Church…Christ died for it. It’s important. Be thankful if you have a choice of church today. Some people do not have a church they have a choice to attend. You do. Be thankful. Go to church. It’s important.” Joy Bowker Crockett
Quote from the wife of a Pastor. She has so much truth and wisdom that her comments are worth reposting. Thank you, Joy.
Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
We are so blessed to be able to go to church to worship in the USA, now because of the coronavirus, some of our freedom has been taken away.
Many other Countries do not have the privilege we have. Today is the Lord’s Day. If you are not hindered by illness, it is important that we go to our house of worship.
Our churches must stay open. Please pray and go if you are able.
Join with us today as we pray for our government officials. The President, Governors and local leaders that they have wisdom as they make decisions that govern our lives.
Many of you who follow this blog are from different countries. All our government leaders need prayer no matter what their title. The Bible also says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”
