Choose Life, so that You and Your Children May Live

Happy Monday Saints. Romans 12:2 “DO NOT CONFORM TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.” Deuteronomy 30:19 “CHOOSE LIFE, SO THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN MAY LIVE.” Why is it necessary to take control of the parts of your life that are YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY? Because if […]

Thinking in line with the Scriptures will arm you, edify you, and give you confidence in the Lord

Good morning Saints Ephesians 6:11 “PUT ON THE FULL ARMOUR OF GOD, SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES.” There are two dangerous times in a Christian’s life. Straight after a victory and straight after a defeat. These aren’t the only times, but we do need to be careful after these […]

Being content is to enjoy the present and appreciate what God has already blessed you with

Happy Monday Saints. Philippians 4:11 “I HAVE LEARNED TO BE CONTENT WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.” You control how content you are. You don’t have to be dissatisfied, disappointed, or disheartened with what you’ve got or with where you’re currently at in life. A lot of our discontentment is the result of comparing ourselves to others. This […]

May God give us Strength and Grace to Change any Offensive Way He may Find inside Our Hearts

Happy Friday Saints. Yesterday, we ended with the thought of working with God to get the issues of the heart right before we do anything else. In Psalm 139:23-24, the psalmist prayed, “SEARCH ME GOD AND KNOW MY HEART; TEST ME AND KNOW MY ANXIOUS THOUGHTS. SEE IF THERE IS ANY OFFENSIVE WAY IN ME, […]

Don’t Judge Others or You Too Will Be Judged

Happy Monday Saints. Last week, we ended with the thought that if we really wanted to help others, we should start with working on ourselves first. We are being judgemental when we pay more attention to the speck in someone else’s eye while disregarding the log in our own. Before Jesus spoke about the hypocrisy […]

Do Not Fear God will Help You

Happy Wednesday Saints. Psalm 55:4-6A “MY HEART MURMURS WITHIN ME AND THE TERRORS OF DEATH ASSAIL ME. FEAR AND TREMBLING GRIP ME, AND HORROR HAS OVERWHELMED ME. I SAID, ‘OH THAT I HAD WINGS LIKE A DOVE! I WOULD FLY AWAY AND FIND REST.'” We’ve been looking at how King David – a mighty man […]

The Lord can Deliver You from All Your Fears

Happy Tuesday Saints. Psalm 34:4 “I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE ANSWERED ME, HE DELIVERED ME FROM ALL OF MY FEARS.” Having faith doesn’t mean that we will never be afraid; it simply means that we know who to turn to when we are. Some Christians don’t know what to do with fear. Because of […]

May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ Be With Your Spirit

Happy Friday Saints. The Apostle Paul ends his letter to the Galatians with an apostolic benediction, “THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AMEN.” (Galatians 6:18) He started with GRACE (Galatians 1:3) and ended with GRACE – a great example and lesson for us all. In a letter […]

It Is For Freedom that Christ Has Set Us Free

Happy Thursday Saints. Galatians 6:17 “FROM NOW ON, LET NO ONE CAUSE ME TROUBLE, BECAUSE I BEAR ON MY BODY, SCARS FOR THE CAUSE OF JESUS.” The Apostle Paul had suffered great persecution for the sake of the Gospel. He knew that salvation was by faith alone, in Christ alone, and by grace alone. The […]

The New Creation is the Work of the Holy Spirit

Happy Wednesday Saints. Just in case the church in Galatia still didn’t get the Apostle Paul’s point, he states it again towards the end of his epistle. Galatians 6:15 “NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION MEANS ANYTHING; WHAT COUNTS IS A NEW CREATION.” It didn’t matter whether a Jew was circumcised or if a Gentile was uncircumcised […]
