Be an Overcomer

 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this:9 ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the slander by those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the

Not Ashamed

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in

Be Like Little Children

I was at an auction last weekend and the sweetest thing happened. I smiled and waved hi to this little approximately 2-year-old little girl. She smiled, waved and ran maybe 3-4 feet over to me and hugged my legs. I reached down and patted her back. Her mother tried to reach out after her to

High Time to Wake Up

8 You should owe nothing to anyone, except that you will always owe love to each other. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands. 9 The law says, “You must not commit adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must not steal, you must not want what belongs to someone else.” All these

Our Defender

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;Let those also who love Your nameBe joyful in You. Psalm 5:11 NKJV  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward

When Faced with the Truth

28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 Then passing through the midst of them, He went His

Jesus is Our Savior

 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Jesus-John 14:6 NKJV There is no other way to get to Heaven than Jesus. There are no other paths to get to Heaven. Jesus is the only path. There is no other truth. Jesus is the Truth. The only

Beware of False Teachers

Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’” 12 Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Jesus- Matthew 16:11-12 NLT It is up to

Trust in God

Do you see a man wise in his own conceit?    There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 26:12 MEV We cannot do this life on our own. The word of God says in all of our ways we are to acknowledge Him and He will direct our path (Proverbs 3:6). We cannot

May the Love of Christ Always Control Us

14 Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.15 He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
