Thought For Today

[Brother Love]

A Christian once remarked: "Before I learned the truth of my eternal security, I held on to Christ with one hand and tried to serve Him with the other; but when I realized that both Christ's arms were around me, and I could never be lost, it left both my hands free to serve Him!"

The Sermons We See

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day,
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.

The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;

And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see the good in action is what everybody needs.

I can soon learn how to do it if you'll let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.

And the lectures you deliver may be very wise and true;
But I'd rather get my lesson by observing what you do.

For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (II Cor. 4:17).

"Faith is not in what can I get God to do for me, but rather Faith in what He has already done for me."


We are stabilized by the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ, It is in whom we place our faith in, not the amount we have. If He does not reveal His attributes to us we would have nothing to believe in. Thus Faith is about HIS faithfulness not ours.

Galatians 3:26" For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,"

" Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools."Ecclesiastes 7:9

Remember "the Judgement Seat of Christ", is much closer today than it has ever been before! Are you ready to meet the Lord (IICor.5:10)?

"We pursue God because,

and only because,

He has first put an urge within us

that spurs us to the pursuit."

      -- A. W. Tozer

[Brother Love]

"Religion" is man's best effort to reach up to God, but Christ is God's only method to reach down to man in forgiveness and offer him true life."



2 Tim 2:15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a  workman  that needeth  not  to  be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[Brother Love]

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe;
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

[Brother Love]

God allows the faith to be tried, and He permits trouble to crowd into our lives.
Sometimes they seem more than we can bear, but Christ can bear them.  
The first step towards "parted-waters" is to frequently remind ourselves that the Lord has either put us in this different place or has allowed us to be there for reasons perhaps only He knows.

Woe to those who call evil good
   and good evil,
who put darkness for light
   and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
   and sweet for bitter.
        Isaiah 5:20

This passage means a lot to me.  It speaks volumes as to what society is trying to push on us.  Woe to them, and I pray for them.  blessings to you

Grace & Peace from God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Has it dawned on you that another year in our Lord is coming to a close? It seems that it went by all to quick.Well as we are huddled around with our love ones during this Holiday Season can you just share the true meaning on why Christ was born and that He came to die!!! The greatest gift that you can give is to share how that
1Co 15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
If you truly love them you will share this with them.
If the Lord allows us to tarry another year lets not wait on this time again to let them know the Gospel of Christ..Too see one past from death to Life is also wonderful.

Until that Day comes just keep,
Tit 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;


In Christ Jesus
