Jesus Is Lord!

PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 NKJ 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. No matter what it may seem like at times, Jesus Christ is Lord. He is ruler, boss, king: the One ultimately in charge. He just hasn't exercised His prerogative and taken charge of everything yet. Jesus is not currently micro-managing everything on earth. He is not responsible for every mistake, accident, and bad thing happening in the world. God has allowed mankind to "try things our way" so we may see the folly of going our own way in rebellion to God. But this won't last forever. God has a plan with a limited amount of time allotted for this part of history. Although God has set certain boundaries, basically human beings are

Keep Your Heart With All Diligence

PROVERBS 4:23 NKJ 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. You have probably heard the saying concerning computers, “Input equals output.” Or, the more popular term, “Garbage in, garbage out.” That does not apply to just computers, but also to human beings. If what we feed in is bad, we cannot expect the results to be good. Today we are constantly bombarded with messages on every side. Everyone wants to influence us to do something – usually to buy their product or service. Distraction is a major problem we face. Because of the information overload we must deal with, it is easy to be distracted from what is most important: God’s Word. It is not so much that the information we are feeding into our hearts and minds is necessarily bad, just that it can easily crowd out what is most important from our lives. PROVERBS 4:20-22 NKJ 20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep

Control Your Words

1 PETER 4:11 NIV 11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God… . When you speak what the Bible says, you are speaking the very words of God. Anything contrary to what the Bible says, should never be spoken by a Christian. EPHESIANS 4:29 NIV 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. JAMES 4:11 NKJ 11 Do not speak evil of one another … . TITUS 3:2 NKJ 2 to speak evil of no one … . You are responsible for what you say. If you cannot say something good, the Bible is clear: keep quiet.

Don't Give Me What I Deserve

Do you really want what you deserve? Maybe you should first find out what you really deserve. PSALM 103:8-10 NIV 8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. Thank God that I don’t get what I deserve! People clamoring to get what they deserve are really in the dark. God is the judge and He declares that we have all fallen short – none of us deserves good. But the wonderful news is that God loves us so much that He is not giving us what we deserve. But it doesn’t stop there. It gets better. Believers are actually going to receive what Jesus deserves! Jesus took what we deserved – punishment. And now, because of His great love, offers us what He deserves – freely as a gift of love. How can you not respond to Someone like that! SAY THIS: Thank You, Lord for not giving me what I deserve, but being mercif

Overcome That Problem You Face

I JOHN 5:4 NIV 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Yes, we do face difficulties in life, but they only give us an opportunity to trust the Lord and overcome. Without problems we would have nothing to overcome, and thus not be able to receive all the blessings promised to those who do overcome. There are seven promises given to overcomers in the second and third chapters of Revelation. Here is the last one: REVELATION 3:21 NIV 21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. As you face the problems of life, keep your eyes on your destination, just as Jesus did. Walk close to God and depend on Him. He will not fail you. I JOHN 4:4 NIV 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. SAY THIS: I am an overcomer in Christ Jesus.
