• THE GLORY OF THE KING

    I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. —Psalm 145:5 He feeds every living creature every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every decade, every century, every millennial and until time is no more. He gives breath to every living creature every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every decade, every century, every millennial and until time is no more. He has set the boundaries of the oceans for second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every decade, every century, every millennial and until time is…

  • DIE TO SELF AND SERVE!

    So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. —I Corinthians 10:31-33 Do I seek to just do what is best for me or do I seek what is best for others that they may trust the Lord Jesus Christ? How do you and I serve others and do we do so out of loving gratitude to…

  • LISTEN AND OBEY!

    These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. —I Corinthians 10:11 Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. —Romans 15:4 God’s Word has examples for us to warn us. His Word teaches us. His Word gives us hope. His Word gives us encouragement. His Word will be fulfilled. Followers of Jesus are to be patient. This will happen. We are heed the warnings, learn, have hope and be encouraged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkHqaBxPoAM&list=PLKYBweMzuOpuCoxDusndrTXtdapHDaxew&index=1 Is…

  • GIVE THANKS!

    Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. —Psalm 136:1 Fellow follower of Jesus we are told that God’s love endures forever. We have so much to thank Him for. I am so thankful that He has given us His Word! I was singing a song to my grand-daughter yesterday as I was swinging her on her swing. Making up the song as I went along I sang about knowing His existence, His awesomeness, His power and vastness by looking at what He created (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20). But, I could not have relationship with Him without His Word. I could know He created…

  • NONE GREATER! NONE!

    I know the greatness of the Lord— that our Lord is greater than any other god. The Lord does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people. He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings—Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. He gave…

  • YOU ARE CALLED TO BE A SOWER!

    Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest. —Psalm 126:5-6 Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work (I Corinthians 3:5-8). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hft1FCAaCb8…

  • HONOR GOD

    Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. —I Corinthians 6:19-20 Fellow follower of Jesus, you are not your own! God bought you through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus. Indeed that was a very high price! You and I belong to Him. He is our Master and we are His servants. Delighted we should be that we are His! The Son and the Holy Spirit were given as gifts to…

  • LIVE HOLY LIVES!

    When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those…

  • WHAT COUNTS IS WHAT GOD SAYS, NOT MAN!

    You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands. —Psalm 119:73 https://youtu.be/lSRcPCGRmXY?t=616 (through 13:38) Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. —I Corinthians 4:6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDI-sk2nJU God created you and me for Himself, not to rebel against Him, but to be in fellowship with Him. We must cling to His Word and be obedient to be in fellowship…

  • THE RIGHT BUILDING MATERIALS

    Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the…
