Bible Verse of The Day Mobile App

Hello everyone!

We want to thank you for taking the time to read this. We truly appreciate it 🙂

For those of you who have been reading our daily messages for a while, you know that we don’t very often post “extra” messages, so we will keep this short and to the point!

During the past few years, God has blessed us with a readership of over 12,000 people who receive our teachings by email and Facebook each day. We also have many of you who read our messages on our blog.

Additionally, many more people read our messages in a mobile app. This may come as a surprise to those of you who have been reading our daily messages in a mobile app, but that app is not ours.

Apparently the developer of that particular app decided to use our daily messages to provide content for their app. We only found about it completely by accident one day when someone called us to thank us for “sending Bible verses each day to their phone”.

We also recently learned that that particular app is no longer available for download. So there is no longer a way for new readers to get our Bible Verse of The Day messages on their smartphones. But we’ll talk about that more in a minute.

We have so many of you across the globe who receive our daily messages and it is extremely humbling for both of us to receive emails and phone calls from people with prayer requests or testimonies of God’s goodness.

Pastor Ellie and I have been praying and seeking God as to how He would want us to expand this outreach and we both feel that it’s time for us to have a high-quality mobile app of our own developed, to help us reach even more people across the globe.

Having this done involves a considerable expense, and in order to raise the funds needed to have this new app created, we have started a Go Fund Me campaign.

We’d like to ask you to share this with everyone you know, by posting it on Facebook, Twitter, your personal blog or by passing this blog post along to others that you know, and consider helping us take this next step on our journey.

We’re excited to see this project get started and we have some great ideas for our new app that we know everyone will love.

The Go Fund Me campaign can be viewed by Clicking Here.

We appreciate any and all help and support we get. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-13

(Proverbs 27:17 NKJV)  As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

There are times that I watch people and get some neat ideas, or I say to myself, “hey, I’d like to try that too!” There are so many positive and good things we can learn from each other.

One of the things that the devil likes to do is try to get us to spend more time looking at a person’s faults. If he can get us to always focus on finding the negative in everyone, it will keep us lonely and wanting to have no one around us; no friends, no family, no one for God to use to help us at times.

God moves through people. If no one is around, how then do we learn and grow together from each other?

It’s easy to find the negative in people because none of us are perfect. But what is challenging is finding the good qualities in someone and letting them rule over the bad.

Let’s turn this thing around. We challenge you today, as you go to work, school, or even in the home, focus on the good qualities in any given person and let them teach us something new.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-17-13

(John 14:26 NKJV)  “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

There are times in life when material things can help us to get over a hump or past a particularly rough time that we might be going through. For instance, sometimes when we are bummed out, we might go watch a movie, or go out to lunch with some friends. Even shopping or a nice day out on the boat, etc., will help us at times.

The problem with material things is that they can only help to a certain degree. But in order to get rid of troublesome things that keep coming back, we need to get to the root of the problem and make some changes.

Change will take time and effort to make it happen and some days we may even ask ourselves, did we do the right thing?

God gave us a very special person to help us in matters like these. In fact, He will teach us in all things, and He will remind us if we forget. This person is the Holy Spirit.

This Helper can do more for us than any human can do and He will not leave us if we mess up or if we don’t get it right the first time, or even the second or third time.  He doesn’t give up on us. We just need to be sure we don’t stop listening to Him.

Ask the Holy Spirit to be your Helper today and help you to get to the root of things that keep trying to bring you back to the same place over and over again.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-16-13

(Galatians 5:17 NKJV)  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

You know the feeling you get on the inside, when you know you’ve done something wrong and you hope it goes away, but it doesn’t? It keeps on prodding you until you do what’s right. It’s like a struggle between good and evil taking place on the inside of you.

This is the feeling of war, and it is very draining. These are things we don’t ignore but, instead, press in to God and find out what is going on if we don’t know.

Our flesh will try to get its own way 100% of the time. But just so we all know, the flesh is not what Christian’s should follow. (Galatians 5:24 NKJV)  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

The flesh is what we walked in before we knew God. But after we’ve received Him as our Savior, we need to crucify the flesh and all of its wrong desires, and let God’s Spirit lead us.

If there is a war going on inside of us today, we need to figure out what we are doing wrong. When we crucify the flesh, the Spirit will lead us and peace will come. This is a hard one to do because at times we like what the flesh likes.

Remember… we don’t always do what we wish to do, we do what is RIGHT.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-23-11

(Gen 2:2 NKJV)  And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Oh how I love this verse…how God Almighty Himself took a rest after all His work. Do we understand that we need to rest, that we need to take a break and breathe? It’s OK to do this. It’s important to do this! There’s nothing wrong with us if we take a break once in a while. We’re not lazy, or slothful… we are simply resting, and following God’s example.

To have balance in all we do is wise. We need balance. All work with no play is not good. All play without work is NOT good. So, we say, work the week and play on the weekends.

For some of us there is no time, because on weekend is when we play catch up from the hectic week we had. This leaves us almost no time for rest and play. Not even a little.

Take some time and really pray about this. I know that even in this God can direct us and show us how to make things a little easier for ourselves. Too much work can be very stressful on the body, mind and soul and on our relationships with our spouse, our children, our coworkers etc.

Just a little reminder…get some rest/playtime. Laugh and have fun! God rested and so should we!!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-02-11

(1 Cor 13:13 NKJV) And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Christmas is fast approaching and it’s around this time when people get stressed out over how much to spend on gifts. Somehow the focus is put on gifts and taken off of LOVE.

Giving gifts at Christmas is fun and I think it’s great! But there are other ways to show our love if things are tight for us financially.

Don’t go in debt over Christmas. This is a holiday to celebrate and enjoy.Be creative and have fun with it. Showing that you love someone and that you really care for them can be done in many ways and it doesn’t have to take a lot of money… so no more stressing.

If you have a computer you can design little gift certificates to hand out with little services on them that you could offer. You could bake cookies or fudge and put then in cute little tins with little bows on them. People love treats!!

Arts and crafts are a lot of fun too and people love getting homemade gifts. Get some friends and family together and have a good time, sharing stories and testimonies while being creative, etc.

Pray about it and let God lead you, He loves to help us be creative and unique and He knows the heart of the people we’re giving to better then we do.

Have fun this Christmas…Let God’s love shine through you!!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-29-11

(John 4:42 NKJV)  Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

I got saved at an early age in my life. I remember the day I gave my life to Christ. I have 8 brothers and sisters and we all went up to the front of the church that day to receive Jesus. It was an exciting moment, but very serious indeed.

My parents paved the way for us. They gave us this opportunity to learn about Christ by sending us to church even if we didn’t want to go. They would pray for our salvation and believe that one day we too would have Christ as our Savior.

I did accept Christ that day as my own personal Savior, even though I was with all my brothers and sisters. It was years later that I began to learn more about Christ and He became even more personal to me.

At first, as a child, I would watch and learn how to be a good Christian by the way my Mom and Dad would do things. But as I grew and matured, Jesus taught me more as an individual and led me in a way that I could understand Him.

He taught me how to trust in Him and believe Him for the things He would advise me to do. He walked me through personal situations that no one else knew of but me and I saw His love and faithfulness in answering my prayers.

He became my very own personal Savior and today our relationship is so dear and special to me. I made Him my own.

Make Him your own today. Let Him take you on a journey you won’t forget and you won’t sell out on Him, because His love is so real!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-28-11

(Mat 21:21-22 NKJV)  So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. {22} “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

We all ask a lot of God. We ask for little things and we ask for big things.

Some of us want our marriages healed. Some of us want a loved one saved or healed. Some of us ask for more finances. The list of what we ask for is probably endless.

Many times it seems like we ask and ask, yet we fail to receive, at least based on what we see in the natural. So after a while, we give up and move on.

Now let me tell you, first of all, that it is not wrong to ask things of God. He expects and wants us to ask. The questions is; “Are we believing for what we’re asking for or are we simply asking because we think it’s a good idea?”

We need to believe that God will give us what we’re asking for. If we are lining up with His word, we have no reason to believe otherwise! Jesus said we are to ask in prayer, believing! He didn’t say to ask and hope. He said to ask and believe!!

Believing will make all the difference in the world. Ask God and believe and you will see a change in the way your prayers get answered.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-26-11

(Luke 12:48 NKJV)  “… to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

What we are required to give is based on what we have been given.

This applies to our finances, our lives, our time, our talents and so much more. We have all been blessed by God with some kind of gift, whether it’s a material blessing or a natural talent or something else that we have or can do.

God tells us that if we have been blessed with much, we are to give much. If we would all live by this, there would be so many less problems in the world!

As we get closer to Christmas, try not to get caught up in the hype and commercialism that we have shoved down our throats by greedy merchandisers, but ask God what He would have you to give and who to give it to.

Sometimes, the smallest gift can change a person’s life when it’s given to the right person.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-25-11

(Phil 4:11-12 NKJV)  Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: {12} I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

One thing we have learned over the years is to be thankful, no matter what season of life we’re in.

The biggest lesson we’ve learned is that when we are in times of need, not to complain. God has taught us to be thankful and content even when things are tough.

If tough times and trials come our way, which they will, the worst thing any of us can do is to complain and whine. Falling into the trap of negativity only keeps us where we’re at for longer than we need to be.

If we’re thankful for what we do have and learn to make the best of it, we’ll be able to move on that much more quickly.

In everything that we go through, there is always something for us to learn, so the sooner we learn it, the better off we’ll be.

So express your gratitude to God for what you have and look forward to what He will do for you next and you’ll see a huge change in how you feel and how your life goes for you.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-24-11

(Eph 5:31 NKJV)  “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Marriage is not something to be taken lightly. Marriage is a vow, made between a man and a woman, promising to spend the rest of their lives together.

The vast majority of people who get married nowadays go into their marriage relationship with a “let’s try it and see” attitude. They believe they can try marriage out, like taking a car for a test drive.

This is a very sad thing to see, as people spend years of their lives giving their marriage only half of the effort it deserves and then giving up and walking away when it doesn’t turn out like the fairy tales in the books and movies.

Marriage is the most significant commitment that any of us will make, second only to our commitment to God himself. We need to take it seriously because it’s a serious thing.

Men and women need to work at their marriage equally. It needs to be a joint effort. There isn’t a greater burden or responsibility on the man or the woman. Both are responsible for making it work.

If you’re in a marriage that is having trouble, we urge you to make every effort to work it out. It takes two people to make a marriage work. This can’t be emphasized enough.

Both people need to respect each other and honor each other. This is not optional!

We have gotten a lot of emails the past couple of days with many, many questions and prayer requests. We will be replying to them during the next few days. If you have a question or prayer request regarding your marriage, please feel free to reply to this email
and we will be honored to try to help you.
