Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-17

1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV) 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

As I sit here this morning, I’m thinking about and meditating on how I have received my freedom, my Salvation.

I can’t even imagine what our Lord must have been thinking as He was being abused and brutally beaten for me. I can not comprehend in my mind what He was going through as He gave His life for me.

He did not pay someone off with gold or silver, but He bought our freedom with His life.

There is no love more precious than that.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

My heart is in love with how He loved us first, even in our sinful condition. He loved us first and paid for our freedom with His life on that cross over 2000 years ago.

Will we live the righteous life that He has for us? Will we walk in His obedience and follow His way?

Only we can answer that.

Step by step, and day by day, let us grow close to Him.

James 4:8(NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-7-17

Proverbs 30:5 (NKJV) 5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

As we sat down by the water early this morning and watched the sunrise over the ocean waters, I was reminded of how blessed we all are.

Looking around at such beauty every day is just one of the ways that God reminds us of His love for us. Every day we can open our eyes and see His creation. Every day we can feel His love. Every day we can know how much we mean to Him, as we just open our eyes and look around.

Children of God, we are a blessed people. Enjoy today. Praise Him in all that our eyes can see. His love for us is so strong. He cares greatly. We can see it everywhere.

Trust Him with our lives. He is faithful to shield and protect us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-17

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

Love is powerful. It unites, builds and heals.

If your marriage, family or relationships, etc., are falling apart, it is love that will help fix them.

Life can take its toll on us all, and our hearts can get pretty cold and hard over different things we go through. We can point fingers and say it’s so and so’s fault. And it may seem like we get some relief by blaming others for it. But it won’t change it or make it any better.

If we want to fix things on our end, we truly need to give it to God. Let Him step in. He is an expert at loving and He will teach us how it’s done.

The love that God has doesn’t give up when things get uncomfortable, or because something didn’t turn out the way we thought. This love doesn’t stop when things get too hard and complicated. Instead, it gets stronger.

Jesus Christ was God’s example to us on how to walk in such love. He never gave up on us.

There may be times that, because of love, we have to take a strong stand about something. But if we do it out of love, and with the right motive, no matter how it looks we will win!

Don’t give up. LOVE never fails.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-16

1 Chronicles 16:8 (NKJV) 8 Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

One of the most important things to know about Christ is that He loves us. He loves us no matter who we are, where we came from or what we have done.

He simply loves us just as we are.

Now, that in itself may just blow our minds, wondering how anyone could love like that. All the rotten things I’ve said and done in my life. How could anyone even want to be my friend or be close to me?

It’s a hard thing to try to understand and accept this great love. And many people will walk away and turn from Him, thinking that it can’t be true.

That’s why we are sharing this today. This love is great! This love is real! This LOVE comes from our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, His Son. It is a love like no other.

Can we thank the Lord today for loving us? Oh, how good He is!

Lord, we love YOU and we praise You! We lift up our voices to YOU, for great is our LORD! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-16

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Tough times and the enemy of our soul will sometimes make us think that there is no way we can win… no way we can have victory in our walk with God.

Sometimes it can feel like we’re slipping away, ultimately heading toward an unsure destiny. But this is exactly what the enemy wants.

Know this: Nobody can steal your destiny, your eternal position with God. You are loved by Him with an immense, unexplainable love. End of story.

Think about this. God’s love is the only thing that is 100% unconditional.

There is nothing on this earth or in the heavens that can stop Him from loving you. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or where you’ve come from. You are loved.

So as you face the obstacles in front of you, the accusations against you, the consequences for choices you’ve made, never, ever think that God’s love for you is somehow dependent on what you’ve done, what you’re doing or what you’re going to do.

Rest in knowing that His love for you is irrevocable and never-ending.

You Are Loved!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-16

Romans 5:6-8 (NKJV) 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This says it all…while we were still sinners, He died for us.

He didn’t look at us and say, “boy, I wish they were perfect. That would make it worth it all.” He didn’t say, “they need to love me first before I show my love for them.” No.

He simply loved us in the state that we were in and suffered for us unto death, not just for the ones doing good, but for all mankind.

What kind of love did He demonstrate? An unconditional LOVE, the greatest love of ALL!

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Receive His love today and live life with Him, beside us, in us and through us! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-18-16

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 (NKJV) 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

It is because of love that God sent His only begotten Son to take our place on that cross. Because of our sin, we should have been the ones to endure what Jesus went through. The pain and suffering should have been ours.

He shouldn’t have had to do it. He was perfect and knew no sin.

But because of such beautiful love, He did it! He did it for each one of us personally.

Can we take such an example as this and let it move us? Let it teach us and speak to our very being, that we too may walk in such love.

It’s not going to be easy. It will take one step, one day, and sometimes one minute at a time, as we learn to push back all the other feelings that try to pull on us, and all the other ways of doing things that may come to mind.

It will take putting ourselves aside and doing things different than what we are used to. It will take A LOT. But remember what it required of Jesus and what He went through to show us the WAY. It was more than what we could ever endure.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Ask Jesus to help us walk in such love. A love that is so strong it will cause people to see nothing but His precious Son, Jesus Christ, moving through us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-15

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Today, we want to encourage you!

So many of us have faced battles. We’ve walked through storms. We’ve made tough decisions.

Some of our choices and decisions have been good ones, while others might not have been so good. And maybe we’re reaping from some of those bad choices. It happens to all of us at some point in our lives.

And when it does happen, it can be devastating. And we can question God’s love for us in light of the things we might have said or done.

But here is hope for you. Here is truth that will set things straight and set your heart and mind at ease.

There is nothing that we can do that can separate us from the love of God.

It doesn’t matter how deep we’ve sunk. It doesn’t matter how terrible our choices have been or how bad our actions might seem.

God. Will. Never. Stop. Loving. Us.

His word promises this and He isn’t a man that can lie.

So rest today in knowing this. Repent from your choices and run into His arms, where He is waiting for you with them wide open.

Know today, that beyond anything else, you are loved beyond measure.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-29-15

1 John 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Jesus came and lived among us, and He loved those He spent time with.

He ate with and spent time with those who society would consider undesirable; prostitutes, tax collectors, adulterers and more.

These very same people would be looked down upon if they entered many of today’s modern church buildings. Some might even be asked to leave.

If God’s love is ever to be portrayed to the world, how can it happen if we, the body of Christ, shun people and turn them away based on how they look or how we perceive them?

We will admit that some people can be hard to love. They might be obnoxious, boisterous or downright unruly and rebellious. But there was never a moment in our lives when we were the picture of perfection. And yet, God loved us in spite of ourselves.

So who are we not to show that same love to those who we come into contact with?

No, it’s not always easy. In fact, sometimes it can be downright difficult. And those people that we’re trying to love can be the very ones that make it the hardest. But loving people is not an option. It’s a command from Jesus himself.

Matthew 5:44-45 (NKJV) 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

So, as His body, we need to cut through all of the noise, all of the heated debates, all of the propaganda and everything else that would try to get in the way. And we need to love.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-29-14

John 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Have you ever questioned God’s love for you?

Have you ever doubted that God could love any of us?

I have. You see, I’m a thinker. I have a personality type that makes me a logical person. I like to reason things out and try to understand everything.

And to be honest, sometimes I have thought long and hard about whether God really loves us as much as so many people tell us that He does. You know, unconditionally.

I mean, the vast majority of us are really quite unlovable once we get past our church faces and our public facades. And I don’t say that to be rude or accusing. It’s just the way it is with so many of us.

We can have bad habits. We can think bad thoughts. We can do bad things to each other. We can just be downright mean sometimes. And we do this while trying to convince everyone how nice we are or how godly we are.

So I’ve asked God about it, on many different occasions. One of those occasions was this past weekend while I was out fishing.

And it isn’t some deep question. I just asked Him if He really does love us unconditionally. And He answered me rather quickly. YES.

He does love us unconditionally. And the proof is in the fact that He sent His son to die for us, even while we were (and are still) vial sinners.

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

So if you’re a logical thinker like me, rest your weary, inquisitive, logical mind and know that you are, in fact, loved by the Creator, very, very much!

And here’s one more little tidbit for you to start the week off with. Being a logical thinker doesn’t mean that I have to have answers for all of my questions. It just means that I have to have bigger faith in an awesome God 🙂
