Yes and Yes!

Do you agree with this?

Psalm 18:1

 I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

As followers of Jesus this should be words that flow freely from our mouths and is deep in our hearts! I love you Lord and will love you forever! You are so good to me and I am so unworthy! The Lord is my strength and there is no other place to go but Him for true strength!

Praise the Lord this morning and love Him with all your being!

Don't be fooled by money!

God warned us:

1 Timothy 6:10 

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

This life is not about money and material things for the follower of Jesus. If we love money over our Lord we have major problems. Money will lead us astray and we will pursue things over pursuing a relationship with Jesus. We need money to survive but we don't need money more than we need Jesus.  God warns us in the verse above that many have gone away from the faith over their greed and love of money! Don't let that be you! 

Use money to survive and then also give money away to those in need. You control the money don't let the money control you!

Music Friday -Tenth Avenue North - Greater Than All My Regrets (Official Music Video)

Oh Yes Lord you are greater than all my regrets!

You don't know everything!

As followers of the Lord we need to be teachable. None of us knows everything!

Proverbs 13:10 

10 By pride comes nothing but strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

When we think we know it all...it comes from pride! This brings problems and strife with others when we act like we always know everything! Let us be advisable or teachable and learn from others who have wisdom. Many folks know things we need to learn so lets get that wisdom from them!!!

Get good godly advice...it will be beneficial to us in the long run!

Want to hear God speak?

“If you want to hear God audibly, read the Bible out loud.” -seen on twitter

Oh how true! If you want to hear God speak...open your bible for it is the very Word of God!

Matthew 4:4 

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Hebrews 4:12

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

So get those bibles open and hear the Word of God and then follow what He says!

Just One!

Here it is plain and simple:

1 Timothy 2:5

5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

Only one way for us to get to the Father....Jesus! And

John 14:6 

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Come to Jesus and find God! The One and Only way!

Increase or decrease?

John the baptist said these words when preparing the way for Jesus:

John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

As followers of Jesus we need to listen to these words closely. For we tend to be selfish folks. We want our lives to be about us. But there is someone much more important than us and that someone is Jesus. Once we become followers we are to decrease the all about me lifestyle and live the all about Jesus life!

So as you start out a new week, is this week gonna be about you or about our King....Jesus????
