The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. Psalm 19:1-4 Paul was a man that was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ because “it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes”. Paul knew that it has the power to change everyone, and his passion is that all people would believe in the gospel and be saved. The book of…

God Is Calling To Us
My Grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Have you been called to God to repent? In what ways has He used to call you to repentance? God will use many ways to get our attention on repenting from our sin. The Holy Spirit will speak to us, He will use our own conscience to convict us, He may allow us to “get caught” or He may even use another believer to confront us. However He chooses to confront us, it is best…

Seeking Him
. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Psalm 51:6 The enemy, Satan, is wanting us to have the struggle of being honest with God and ourselves. He wants to deceive us and for us to live in that deception. Jesus explains well who satan is. ” You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he…

Continuing On
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 Do you meet with you church family? Or do others priorities come first? Koinonia – fellowship with God and other believers, is not an option for believers. It’s not optional for a church. This is a deep level of relationship with God. Having this with God and Jesus Christ produces fellowship with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. When we…

God’s Idea of Love
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiations for our sins. Dear Friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains…
