Humility is a beautiful thing when we see it . . . especially when it would be the natural thing to react defensively.  Here again we see that John the Baptist never lost sight of his mission – he was here to point the way to Jesus, to make him great.  It was his purpose for being, all along the way, even when…

In these verses the apostle puts them in mind of what they were before their conversion to the faith of Christ, and what a blessed change their conversion had made upon them; and thence endeavours to convince them of their great weakness in hearkening to those who would bring them under the bondage of the law of Moses.

I. He reminds them of their past state and behaviour, and what they were before the gospel was preached to them. Then they knew not God; they were grossly…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for always being faithful. Many times I have had needs that I did not know how they would be supplied, but because I sought You for my answer, You always came through with my answers and provided for me. Lord, give all of Your children the wisdom and understanding that they need at this hour, as we live in uncertain times and we need Your guidance. Protect us from the plans of the evil one. Thank You for watching over us and keeping us and our families and…

Ok, thanks to everyone who's helped me open up and still helping me.

I'm tired of a condition I have...shy bladder.

I'm afriad I'll get made fun of. I'm afraid I'll be rushed (despite there's other stalls). I'm afraid I'll hear a knock...meaning "get out, it's my turn." To open the door and see the person's face...And if they wait they can see me since the doors have cracks...

:sighs: I want this fear to end. I want to take Jesus' hand and not…

Dear Heavenly Father, I honor you as my King and Lord, I submit my myself to you to do Your will. Thank you, for Your love for me. I am grateful that you are a loving and forgiving God. I want to thank You also for the abundant blessings that You have given me. One of those blessings is that I can lay my head down each night and enjoy sweet sleep, and at times, You even speak to me in my dreams. It is such a blessing to have Your love, peace and joy. No amount of money can buy these…

"Father, we come to You in Jesus' most precious name, thanking You for Your love for us. Lord, You see the areas in our lives that are not in balance. We ask that You reveal those to us and help us to walk in the path of righteousness and Your holy balance. Deliver us from error and all that is an abomination to You. Heal us today spirit, soul and body so that we might serve You by walking in a victorious Christian life. Let our lights shine so that truly others might see Your love in…

Ok, I was wondering how to share the truth/help people come to Christ or whatever. I think I heard the Holy Spirit tell me show them love. Well, I got a confirmation. For, I can't find the discussion but I think it's Tammy Henson's reply on a discussion about what's the best way to share the gospel or something like that. The answer was/is,love.

Anyway, I was wondering yet again last night. And, guess where I got lead before I went to bed to read? 1 Corinthians…

My acquaintance with Nicodemus goes back to when I was probably about four years old, when a Sunday School teacher taught by moving paper figures around on a flannel-graph board—two men, both Jewish, one old and gray, both with beards.  And that is just about how much I took it into my heart—paper on a flat board.  It was an important lesson—for…

Understanding Grace

The essence of Christianity is not human effort.  Instead, it is God’s grace.  The concept of grace is unique to Christianity.  It is not found in any other religious belief system.  The doctrine of grace not only teaches that we don’t need to earn our way to heaven: it teaches that it is impossible to earn our way to heaven.

The Apostle Paul put it this way: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through…

MY RECENT EXPERIENCE

In January 2012, when I sat to rest on a seat in the shopping centre, the family continued to check out the shops.  After they had gone for a few minutes, I began to feel very,  thirsty and discovered the water battle was with them.  Immediately I became desperately thirsty and kept looking around to see who I could get to buy me a bottle of water.  At the side of me was a lady with two small children feeding them and a voice…

GUIDELINES TO REACH OUR DESTINY

A CHILD OF DESTINY is a person predestined with a special mission to accomplish by the end of a span of life.

Earlier message: We saw how every born-again, blood-washed believer is a CHILD OF DESTINY for God had predestined the believer before the foundation of the world IN CHRIST JESUS to accomplish HIS PURPOSE within that span of life in that period of time.

Seeing that…

2Cor4:16-18. 16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last…

I have to apolijize if I've offended anybody. I know I've been really down and if it's been a stumbling stone to anyone please forgive me...God is helping me get through this and He's brought back hope.

If I have hurt anyone I do ask that you will forgive me. I'm sorry...

Looking out, peering through the scenes

one sees a world.

A busy world, a hurt world, a lost world.

Looking out something has to be said,

but nothing is said.

For life is in silence.

Crying inside, with a shattered yet hardened heart.

Does anyone care? How could anyone care about someone like me...

Other peoples' pain is different, they need someone to care for…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your many blessings that You send my way each day. Thank You for the many friends that You have sent into my life. Lord, they are priceless treasures. Bless them all today. I want my life to be what You would have to be. Lord, I want You to be satisfied with me, so remove those things that are not pleasing to You. Thank you for Your daily provision. I know that when I have You, that's enough. You will take care of all the things that concern me and…

So an old Jewish teacher goes to find the one they call Jesus . . . the one people are talking about around town . . . recently turned water into wine . . . captivating folks with his words.  Nicodemus goes at night, because he would probably be stripped of his high-powered position in the Sanhedrin if he was seen in the company of this rabbi from…

Going my own selfish way,

based on the ignorance

of my false understanding,

leads directly to my downfall.



For chronic indecision

counteracts God's divine help,

as I traverse the narrow path -

Walking boldly and tall.



My Salvation is not achieved

by what I do or go through -

For I'm mindful of His Guidance

to accomplish a role that is small.



I desire to live a life of Faith

that is visible for any to see;

as I'm strolling…

In the quiet town of Bethany

lived two sisters and one brother;

they were Mary, Martha and Lazarus -

people deeply loved by Christ, as none other.



Unexpectedly, Lazarus fell terminally sick;

begging that He not tarry and be late,

multiple messages were urgently sent

forgetting that we upon the Lord must wait.



To justify feelings of utmost despair

the sisters individually met the Christ

with their piercing hollow stares

resulting from…
