No other name

 ”Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”“

‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ 

The world will try to tell you there are many ways to heaven but the Bible is clear…only Jesus can provide salvation. Make sure you and your loved ones are clear on this!

Make it a habit!

 ”I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭1‬ ‭

God is worthy of continuous praise, honor, and glory. May we make it a habit to do so in our lives!

Separation

 A quote from Paul Washer that followers of Christ need to heed!

Today in our churches there is a silence on separation from the world. The Scriptures are not silent. They demand from us an answer. "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" -- 2 Corinthians 6:14

We must be in the world to share the love of Christ but not to share the ways of the world!

Do you know?

 The Words of Jesus: “ ”And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.“”

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭

Do you know God and Jesus? Not just believe in but know? Essential for eternal life!

Interesting!

 Satan's Beatitudes:

  1. Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend even an hour once a week with their fellow Christians - they are my best workers.
  2. Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked -I can use them.
  3. Blessed are the touchy who stop going to church - they are my missionaries.
  4. Blessed are the troublemakers - they shall be called my children.
  5. Blessed are the complainers -I'm all ears to them.
  6. Blessed are those who are bored with the minister's mannerisms & mistakes -for they get nothing out of his sermons.
  7. Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church - for he's a problem instead of the solution.
  8. Blessed are those who gossip -for they shall cause strife and division which is pleasing to me.
  9. Blessed are those who are easily offended - for they wil soon get angry and quit.
  10. Blessed are those who do not give the offering to carry on God's work - for they are my helpers.
  11. Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother & sister - for he is my friend.
  12. Blessed are you who, when you read this and think it is about other people and none of these could possibly apply to you - I've got you too!

A ransom

 ”For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”“

‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭45‬ ‭

Chew on this today….Jesus gave His life as a ransom for your sin! Thank you Lord Jesus!

Who ya hanging with?

  "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" -- 2 Corinthians 6:14

God is very clear in scripture we need to spend the majority of our time with believers. The time we spend with unbelievers should be sharing with them the love of God and His plan of salvation. Spending much time with unbelievers may result in them pulling you away from the walk with Hod that He desires! 

Think about who you spend time with…does it match up with God’s Word? If not make some changes.

Takes away sin

 ”The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!“

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There is only ONE who takes away the sin and that is Jesus the sacrificial LAMB of God for us!!! Thank you Jesus for taking our din upon yourself to provide salvation to the world.

Wait

 "Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day." (Psalms 25:5)

On you I wait….a great word for us to move on where God leads. To wait for His guidance in all areas for He is our God who leads us and teaches us! Praise Him all the day long!

Your name!

Babblings

 ”O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.“

‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭

As followers of Jesus we are entrusted with God’s word to obey it and spread it and to not stray from it. Sadly many follow the babblings of the world! Let us stay faithful. A timely word for us today.

Not an option

 ““And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.””

‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭

God tells us here we are to forgive others or we will not be forgiven ourselves!!! This is very important to remember and do!!!

Do you know God

 “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.”

‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

This verse tells us that we really only know true love if we know God. How do we know God? By having a personal relationship with Jesus! God proved His love by sending Jesus to die for our sins. We prove our love be being obedient to God and loving others!

Lord directs

 The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. - Psalm 37:23 

When we are following the Lord He will direct us through prayer, His Word, the Holy Spirt, and other believers. He wants us to do His will and it delighted when we do so!!! 

Make sure the Lord is directing you!!!
