TRUSTING MY LORD’S WORD AND GUIDANCE FIRSTMOST! But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”  My times are in your hand. —Psalm 31:14-15 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. —Psalm 32:6             Trust… who do you trust?  Whose word can you trust?  Why do you trust them?  Are they trustworthy?  Why are they trustworthy?  How do you know you can trust them?  Do you trust them because their lives line up with their words?  Are you trusting someone without even knowing them?             I have always believed if you…

WAIT ON AND LEARN FROM OUR LORD Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. —Psalm 25:5 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

BE AND DO THE IMPORTANT! Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it. —Psalm 22:20-31 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. —Acts 20:7 And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. —Acts 20:11             When was the last time you and I sat together…

WHO/WHAT IS YOUR TRUST PUT IN The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. —Psalm 19:1-4 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. —Psalm 20:7 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength! We will sing and praise your power. —Psalm 21:13 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost…

DEFINITION OF A FOOL— FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. —Psalm 14:1-3             God says “the fool says in his heart, “There is no God.’”  Then God describes the fool— They are corrupt They do abominable deeds They don’t do good They do not have understanding They do not seek…

ACT ON THE OBVIOUS EVIDENCE! The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for…

 FIND THE TRUTH YOURSELF! If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.  —Psalm 7:12-13 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? —Psalm 8:3-4 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. —Psalm 9:10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away…

THE WAY OF SALVATION Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God. —Acts 16:30-34                  Our Lord uses all…
