Bible Verse of The Day – 11-24-14

by

2 John 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

There are many deceivers in the world.

We don’t have to look far to find them. They’re on TV. They’re on the Internet. They’re in magazines. They write books.

They’re in churches. Many will speak words that sound very close to the truth. But they have lying tongues and a deceptive message that ultimately lures people away from the truth.

We encourage you to listen closely and use God’s discernment to anyone who claims to speak the word of God.

Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

This is not a “glom and doom” message, so please don’t take it as that. Neither are we accusing a particular person. We just want to be sure that everyone dissects what they hear and see very carefully.

God’s word is our measuring stick, so be sure to take what you hear and compare it to God’s word. If it lines up with His word, take it and digest it. It is good!

If it doesn’t line up with His word, dispose of it and leave it behind.

The good news is that God gives us His spirit to help us discern good from evil!

With His help, we will prosper and bring forth good fruit by the words that we hear.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-22-14

by

Deuteronomy 3: 22 You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.

Who is causing problems for us today? Are we feeling like every time we do something, someone has something negative to say about what we have accomplished or the way that we accomplished it?

Are we feeling fearful about what others are trying to do to us or what they think about us?

It’s time to stop fearing and start trusting.

We need to keep doing what we know is right and keep looking to God to take care of the rest. He will fight for us.

Rest in Him today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-21-14

by

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

We are to love one another.

Jesus commanded us to do so. We are to show the love of God to those around us, believer and non-believer.

Love disarms evil. It melts hardened hearts. It brings unity where there was division. And it draws people to God, instead of repelling them and pushing them away.

Proverbs 10:12 (NKJV) 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

Love crosses international borders. It crosses cultural barriers. And love doesn’t see a person’s race or skin color.

We were all created equal by God Himself. It doesn’t mater where we’re from or what ethnicity we are. God expects us to love one another.

Skin color is just that; color.

It doesn’t, and shouldn’t, make us who we are. It should not dictate our preferences for friends, social status or political allegiance.

The color of our skin should not be something that we look at apart from the word of God. We are to love each other without ever looking at the color of someone’s skin.

Do you have racial prejudice inside you? Even just a tiny bit? Does the color of a person’s skin cause you to think of them a certain way, or do you simply see them through the eyes of God and love them?

This is a hard question and a very tough topic. But God wants it addressed.

So we ask you to let God examine your heart and show you if it is truly unbiased or if you’re harboring any kind of racism in it?

Love one another, regardless of the color of one’s skin.

By this the world will know that you are His disciples, if you have love for one another.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-20-14

by

Deuteronomy 4:9 (NKJV) 9 Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren…

Is the busyness of life trying to steal from us our time to share with our children the truth of God’s word and the things He does for us today?

Kids need to hear about God, and they need to be shown how to pray, how to ask God for help, for healing and to thank Him for the answers.

It is so very important that we teach them.

God is amazing and He is exciting to learn about! The things He has done for us are better than anything any superhero can ever do and He’s REAL!

It’s sad to think that kids are being taught so much about fake super heroes but have been taught very little about the most AMAZING hero of all…Almighty God.

Don’t leave it up to Sunday School teachers to teach our children. Keep God’s word growing in ourselves and in the hearts of our children every day. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-19-14

by

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

Did you know that God delights in us?

He does!

The verse above shows us that He delights in our way, as we follow the steps he has set our feet on.

Despite what some people might teach or think, it doesn’t take a lot to please God. He simply wants us to walk in the steps He has ordered for us.

If we do this, we are pleasing Him.

It’s not nearly as complicated as we sometimes make it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-18-14

by

Lamentations 3:25 (NKJV) 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

We need to teach ourselves to seek God and wait on Him for direction and answers every day. It may not be what we are used to doing, but It is the way to get good Godly results. It will cause our situations to change and we will be the head and not the tail.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Observing the things God shows us to do in any given situation can be an exciting way to live!

Many times when God has given us directions or has shown us what needs to be done, usually it is not what we would ever have thought of on our own.

Trust Him, stay open minded and know that He is faithful to help us in all areas of our lives! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-17-14

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.

Have you ever had surgery?

Good surgeons work with great precision. They use a scalpel to remove things from the human body; cancer, tonsils and other things that may need to come out for various reasons. They know that the life of the person they’re operating on is in their hands.

God is also a surgeon. His scalpel is the Word.

His word is used to surgically remove the things in our lives that don’t belong or don’t need to be there.

Sometimes surgery can be painful. It hurts for a while after the surgery, but then we heal and the pain goes away.

God is the ultimate surgeon, knowing exactly what we need, even when we don’t know it. What’s even better is that God never, ever makes mistakes. If God performs surgery, we should never question Him! There is no risk of malpractice with God!

Is there anything in your life today that God want’s to surgically remove? Do you have sin in your life that you just can’t seem to conquer? How about a sickness or disease? Is there worry or strife?

God can fix any and all of these. But we have to give Him permission.

Get into God’s word and let Him use it to cut out those things in our lives that aren’t good for us. It might hurt a little at first. It might even hurt a lot. But we will be so much better off for it in the long run.

And God is the ultimate healer, too, so once the surgery has been performed, He knows exactly how to makes us like new again.

God’s operating room is open. Step right in!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-15-14

by

Proverbs 1:20-22 (NKJV) 20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares. 21 She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.

Wisdom.

It’s something that we all talk about acquiring as we grow older. You know the old saying; older and wiser.

And it’s true that as we get older, we do tend to become wiser, based on our life experiences.

But it’s not necessary for us to wait and learn all of our lessons just from life. God’s word is full of wisdom that we can get simply by reading it.

Many, many centuries worth of wisdom are at our fingertips to glean from the pages of God’s word.

And God also provides wisdom for us through the people around us. We can learn so much from others, as they share their life’s experiences with us. We just need to be willing to listen and learn from them.

So seek His wisdom today and every day. Making wise choices can make a huge change in the way our lives go.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-14-14

by

Psalm 30:2 (NKJV)2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.

We all need healing from something at one time or another.

We are human.

Sometimes we get sick or injured. Sometimes we are stricken with diseases. Sometimes we may get our feelings hurt or suffer emotional trauma.

Whether it’s physical healing or an emotional healing, we need God’s healing touch.

If you are hurting today, cry out to God and let Him heal you. Be open to how He will bring the healing. Don’t put Him in a box. He is faithful to heal us!

1 Thessalonians 1:2 (NKJV) 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers…

Today, we want you to know that we are grateful for each and every one of you.

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t pray for you,

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t discuss how much of a blessing you all are to us.

Each and every day we talk about how we are in awe of what God is doing in your lives.

Some of you have been with us for a few years now. Others might be receiving their very first Bible Verse of The Day today, so this will be the first one you’ve read.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been. We take what God has given us to do very seriously and each and every person means the world to us.

So as you finish reading this, know that you are loved very much and we want God’s best for each and every one of you.

Be blessed and be strong in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-12-14

by

Matthew 16:16 (NKJV)16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

When Jesus asked the disciples who do you say that I am, Simon Peter spoke up and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. As Simon Peter answered Jesus, Jesus told him, on this rock I will build My church.

Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

On this rock. The rock was truth in what Peter spoke. Who is the truth? Jesus Christ,  He is our rock!

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Are we sharing the truth with others? Or have we become distracted with music, drama, titles, money, etc?

Let us come back to the simplicity of the truth, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, the ROCK upon which the church is built. Amen.
