Instruction

Since Christ suffered and underwent pain, you must have the same attitude he did; you must be ready to suffer, too. For remember, when your body suffers, sin loses its power, 2 and you won’t be spending the rest of your life chasing after evil desires but will be anxious to do the will of God. 3 You haveContinue reading “Instruction”

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus-speaking in John 14:27 NKJV Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in yourContinue reading “The 4 P’s: Peace, Prayer, Presence and the Promise”

Speak Up

8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;    ensure justice for those being crushed.9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless,    and see that they get justice. Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT We are to cry out for those who cannot cry out for themselves (orphan, stranger). We are to stand up for the poor and needy againstContinue reading “Speak Up”

Walk A Little Closer with Jesus

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for theContinue reading “Walk A Little Closer with Jesus”

Warning Against Respect of Persons

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. 2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sitContinue reading “Warning Against Respect of Persons”

Good or Evil

18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, thatContinue reading “Good or Evil”

Shine for Jesus

16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and hasContinue reading “Shine for Jesus”

Cleansed to Serve

13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:13-14 NASB Oh, the precious blood of ChristContinue reading “Cleansed to Serve”
