Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-18

by

Matthew 5:13 (NKJV) 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

Being the salt of the earth takes getting our hearts right with God. Our hearts cannot be salty if we continue to do the things that put distance between us and the One who seasons us.

The closer we get to God, the more flavorful we will become. The further we get away from Him, the weaker we are, and we may not have any flavor at all. And that may be why the things we speak to others seem powerless and weak.

What we let God help us with, and the areas where we let Him change our hearts will depend on our salt level.

God seasons and strengthens us as we go to Him and obey what He may be asking us to change. He is our “Flavor Changer”, our “Salter”, so to speak.

How seasoned do we want to be?

The time we spend with Him will determine our strength level.

Isaiah 35:3 (NKJV) 3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-18 – Can God Use Me?

by

Can God Use me?Greetings in the beautiful name of Jesus! 

Can God Use Me? 

That’s the question we discuss in our latest video. 

Many of us have done things in our past that we wish we hadn’t done. And sometimes these things can make us feel like God could never want to use us to do anything for Him. 

In today’s video, we discuss this and touch on several points that each and every one of us can relate to. 

We hope this video will minister to you and speak to your heart. So please be sure to watch it all the way through, so God can speak to you right where you’re at today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-18

by

2 Chronicles 15:7 (NKJV) 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”

Hard work pays off. If we can remain strong, keep ourselves focused and stay diligent in the things that God has for us, we will be rewarded.

We all have things that God would like us to do. Making sure we keep everything in its proper order, by prioritizing, is something we will have to learn to do. It can be hard work balancing everything and keeping it in its right place.

So many times, we can get lost in the shuffle if we don’t prioritize and stay steadfast in the things that are important, and keep them at the forefront of everything.

One thing to remember if we have family, a spouse, kids, etc., they are our priority. God wants us to care for our home before our church.

If we can’t care for our family, we are absent from them all the time, and we don’t know where things stand at home, we are off in our priorities.

We need to be careful that excessive work, church activities or other activities don’t come before our family.

If that happens we will know it. We will usually feel stressed out, a loss of joy within ourselves and in our home. We will lose the unity, the tightness, and the closeness we need to keep our family together.

Be strong. Keep everything in our lives in its rightful place and watch how God will reward us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-30-18

by

Matthew 5:5 (NKJV) 5  Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

Listed below are many words that are the opposite of being meek. These are things to watch out for in our behavior, attitudes and our actions.

Arrogant, bumptious, conceited, egotistic (or egotistical), haughty, highfalutin (also hifalutin), high-and-mighty, high-handed, high-hat, hoity-toity, huffy, imperious, lordly, overweening, peremptory, pompous, presuming, presumptuous, pretentious, self-asserting, self-assertive, supercilious, superior, and uppity.

If we find ourselves acting out in any of these ways, it’s a good indication that we are not walking in the meekness that God has called believers to walk in.

No matter who we are or what position we hold, if we are God’s child, a believer, a Christian, etc., He wants us to learn to walk according to His word.

Many people may hear the word “meek” and immediately think of being weak. But walking in meekness takes discipline beyond what we could ever do on our own. Meekness is a strength that comes from our Lord.

Meekness stands tall and rises up on the inside of us in the hardest times. And with discipline, it does exactly what God leads us to do in that moment, in that very hour. Whether it’s to speak up, be still, step out in faith or hold back and wait till the appropriate time, being meek and humble is a requirement.

When we walk in such meekness, we will learn that having things our own way will not be an issue any longer. We will learn to restrain our tongue and our thoughts. We will learn not to act out of our emotions, but to be patient and wait for God’s understanding, wisdom and timing.

Meekness is a muscle that needs to be strengthened in all believers. And by doing so we shall see beautiful fruit from it.

Proverbs 15:23 (NKJV) 23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-18

by

Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Aside from the decision to follow Christ, choosing our husband or wife is the most important decision we will make in our lifetime.

When we unite with someone in marriage, we are making a commitment to that person, in the presence of God, to build a lifelong relationship with them. It is not something we should take lightly.

Before the marriage ever takes place, we need to be looking at our relationship in a way that goes beyond the rush of emotions we feel.

The “warm fuzzies” are nice, but they will not carry us through a lifetime of ups and downs. They will not carry us over the hurdles we will face as a husband and wife. They will not help us conquer the challenges that life throws at us.

Movies and books tend to portray love as something that is magical, fairytale-like, with glowing sunsets every evening, and wondrous bliss each morning as we wake up. However, real life is a bit different than that.

Yes, there will be beautiful sunsets observed together as husband and wife. There will be blissful moments that you will both cherish for years and years. There will be much joy over the years.

However, there will be challenges that we face too. Those challenges will require 100% effort on the part of both people if we truly want to overcome them and keep our relationship strong.

Some of life’s challenges will feel like they are bent on destroying our marriage, giving us a feeling of hopelessness if we let them. But we never, ever have to let them!

A marriage built with God as its foundation will be strong, will flourish and last a lifetime. Storms will come, but the relationship will last because we built it on the Rock.

Matthew 7:24-25  (NKJV) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-18

by

Psalm 118:23 (NKJV) 23 This was the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.

I love when I’m just going along throughout my day and I notice something happen that I know was by God’s hand alone. It’s so special to me to know that we have Someone that is constantly concerned about our well-being. Even in the littlest ways, He will show up and remind us that we are not alone.

Taking notice of the little things that the Lord does for each one of us will help us in our faith walk. It will cause us to draw even closer to Him. Not just because of what He does for us, but because we can see the love and concern He has for us.

This will make us want to open up and share more of our personal things with Him, because we see He is listening and watching. When we notice the things that He does, it helps us to trust Him more. And we feel more at peace.

What are we seeing the Lord do before us today? Are our eyes open and alert to Him? Things don’t just happen by coincidence when we are His child. We are covered.

Psalm 17:8 (NKJV) 8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-18

by

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 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.

God’s word is absolute. It’s the building blocks upon which our faith sits.

His word is truth; absolute truth. We either believe it in its entirety, or not at all.

Sadly, some people like to “cherry pick” the word of God. They believe some things, but not others. They follow parts of it, but not all of it.

As children of God, we have never been given His permission to be selective in our believing. He has not told us that it’s OK to believe one scripture while rejecting another. It’s all or nothing.

This has led to a dilution, a “watering down” of the Word that renders it weak and ineffective in many ways.

Adultery is no longer sinful in the eyes of some. Fornication is OK under certain circumstances. Stealing is OK if it meets certain conditions. Gossip is acceptable if its intentions are “good”. And the list could go on.

But it’s time for the body of Christ to take a stand. God’s word was not written for us to decide which parts we like and don’t like.

We need to make sure that we are not submitting ourselves to anything less than the whole word of God.

If we are under leadership that blatantly disregards parts of His word, we need to make a choice. We either hold them accountable for their error or place ourselves under different leadership that will speak God’s word without compromise.

Let’s be honest. Error will always be taught somewhere, by someone. It’s a fact of life. But that doesn’t mean that we have to condone it or sit idly by and do nothing about it.

The signs of the times include such things. Selective teaching. Selective hearing. Itching ears.

2 Timothy 4:3-8 (NKJV) 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things…

Let us not be people with itching ears.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-26-18

by

Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Have we ever had something happen to us that causes our heart to ache? We feel sad from what has happened or the way things turned out.

We can be real with God, because He already knows about it.

A broken heart is no joke. It is real pain and we have to let God repair it, or it can affect us in a negative way.

We don’t want to ever lose hope because of what we went through or what we saw happen. We need to keep trusting God, for He can help in such sensitive and personal situations.

If we are feeling the effect of a broken heart, know that God is near and He is willing to do whatever it takes to bring healing.

How long it will take is different for all of us. Don’t feel like we have to rush it or think there is something wrong with us because it is taking so long.

We will have good moments, and then other times it may be completely different and the memories may be very strong. We need to take the time needed for a complete recovery.

Reading God’s word will help to get our mind off of the painful thoughts and give us encouragement.

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-24-18

by

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Don’t be fearful about the decision you need to make. Don’t be hard on yourself today. God will give us the understanding and wisdom we need to make the right decision.

We can be our own worst critics at times. Knowing this, we have to save ourselves from our own judgment, critical comments and the thoughts we have against ourselves.

We don’t need an enemy because sometimes we can be our own worst one.

It’s time to stop beating ourselves up and let God show us how to balance it out. We need to know who we are in Christ.

Yes, we can make mistakes. And there is no doubt that we do. But God knows what to do to help us fix them and to help us learn from them.

We are not bad people just because we make some poor choices occasionally. It’s all part of learning what to do and not to do.

Are we going to stay down and out today? Or are we going to get up and try to get it right with God’s understanding, strength and wisdom?

We stand in prayer with you all today, and we know you can do this. Amen.

Exodus 31:3 (NKJV) 3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship…

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-18

by

John 6:35 (NKJV) 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Life in Christ is good. He is our everything!

He will satisfy our hunger. He will bring us answers. There is so much peace and joy in His Word. His promises are true. He brings a fulfillment that nothing else in this world can compare to.

Will our life be perfect and will everything go right all the time? No, not necessarily in the way we think it should go.

Life is not a fairy tale. We can’t always paint a pretty picture when things are not pretty. But if we live life through Christ, we will be satisfied at any stage we are in. He will have the answer and the way for us to follow.

His answer, His understanding, His compassion, mercy, forgiveness and most importantly His LOVE, will meet us right where we are at, even in our darkest hour.

Hallelujah… He is our bread of life.

If we go to Him, He will take care of us, help us make the changes we need to make, and we will stand strong! Amen.
