The Rock
Through his fall Peter become one of Jesus greatest workers. While yet he was one of the greatest disciples he was the most flawed, the person who denied the Lord. Our experience should be that of Peter. Casting ourselves at The Masters feet and pleading for our lives to be taken up into His gracious arms. May we say with Peter, "God, No more. Forgive me, Father." "I don't want to be _____ anymore. Take me Father! Change me to be just that. Change me into ________, the man for the Master."
The Diabolical Joke for the Christian
We all know April as a month of jokes, pranks, and harmless fun. But the greatest delusion in the history of the world confronts us every day of the year. Millions are falling for it, and suffering disastrous results. Read on to discover how you can keep from being fooled by this dangerous delusion.
Finding God’s Will
Sometimes it can be difficult to know what God's will is in your life. It seems as if God is somewhere out there and that His prayers are not going up any higher than your ceiling. Yet, there are clear ways that God communicates with us. We will discover three ways in which we can hear the voice of God.
Priority Grace
As Paul emphasizes, "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." All our opportunities and chances come and go, but eternal life is slowly slipping out of your hands as you read this line. For every moment you put off the tug of God, it takes away one more pull and warning that God will allow. Are you serious about salvation?
The Road, The Journey, The Guide
We are given free choice to chose which road we wish to walk. God never coerces us to follow His path. We realize in the end the consequences of choosing. Consequences we may or may not like. Against all odds God calls for us to tread His path. To follow in His footsteps. The road which the bloodstained feet of Jesus trod to get us back to Heavenly Grace is not a pretty road. It does not gratify the cravings of the flesh but the spiritual. God will keep us in perfect peace if our mind is stayed on Him.
Turning Back the Clock
The greatest event to happen since the inception of man. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Are we ready? Are our lamps trimmed and oil at the ready?
Wanted: A Good Lie
Deception, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification, and subterfuge are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true, or not the whole truth. What is sin to us? We know that it is wrong, but it is so hard to let go of those things which have given us pleasure. We deliberately deceive ourselves of sin so that it will seem less and less sinful every time we encounter it. Justifying our actions to those who have fallen to justify how much better we are than those beings. And unless we renounce all known sin, the Bible says we will want to believe this lie, because the lie gives us justification to remain in sin.
Hierarchy of Neighbors
Humanity cannot be equal. Equality causes evil. There will always be those who are above and those who are below. You cannot deny the fact. That is the reality of this world. Nothing that humans can do can accomplish equality between human beings. Only by the will,power, and grace of God can we ever be equal in each other's sight. In showing this love we cannot make any distinction between nationality, race, or caste. All men are of one family by creation, and all are one through redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the temple, that every soul may have free access to God. His love is so broad, so deep, so full, that it penetrates everywhere. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free. All are brought together in His precious blood. "Freely ye have received," Christ says, "freely give." Matthew 10:8. Who is your neighbor? Who in your life needs a hand? Multiculturalism does us no good until we can love others as Christ did. Show love to the unloved, the forgotten. Remind everyone around you that, when it comes to the saving power of God, the world is indeed flat.
Broken - Based on New Beginnings to Deeper Friendship with God
Every action we choose to make on this earth affects those with whom we associate with. Every thought carried into action causes those around us to deal with the consequences of our actions. There are only two attributes which can be affected to those around us. Good and Bad. Through our sinful being we can only be a bad influence, but Jesus died for us that we may be assured that no longer are we slaves to sin but sons and daughters of the Living God. Jesus has taken the blame to our evil. We are no longer condemned but forgiven. So seek Him who has saved us with all our hearts. Ask and He will give and seek Him and He will make Himself manifest unto us.
A God of Second Chances
The life we now live is given to us as a second chance from God. He patiently waits for all to turn back to Him. The time is now to let go of the world and accept His pardoning grace.
