Chosen—it means God is FOR US.  Romans 8.31-34

I was speaking on the subject of friendship.  Specifically, I was trying to give a definition for a true friend.   A true friend is someone who says to the object of her affection, ‘I am FOR YOU’.  It means:  I will cheer you on ... I will believe the best in you …  I will release you of my expectations of you … I will hold you close to my heart, but not demand you be close at my side … I will endeavor to ‘hear’ you when you have…

WE WERE CREATED TO SERVE AND WORSHIP THE LORD ALMIGHTY,AS HUMANKIND ARE WE FULFILLING THE PURPOSE IN ACCORDANCE TO GOD'S WILL?

THE TRUE PURPOSE IS TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRSIT AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

REMEMBER THE DEVIL HAS COME TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY OUR SOULS.JOHN 10:10 BUT THE SAVIOUR HAS COME TO GIVE US LIFE IN ABUNDANCE.

LET US RECEIVE CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR AND FULFIL THE PURPOSE OF GOD IN OUR LIVES.

MINISTRY MOBILE.

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth’s rite of Passage?  His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified.…

“HOSANNA in the Highest!"

I was sitting in my home office, with my Bible open, and thinking of just how good and gracious God is to us.  I cannot revisit the life (and death) of Jesus Christ without thinking of his great love for us.  A line from a melodious worship song ran through my mind, ‘hosanna, hosanna . . .’ and I thought of the townspeople waving their palm branches and saying ‘hosanna’ to Jesus.  But I couldn’t think of the origination of the word, so I looked it…

I feel like God is telling me he wants me to have 6 kids and was wondering how would you know when you get a confirmation from God on his will for your life?

God Bless,

Bryan

Standing at the threshold

of Death's ultimate door,

my last gasp escapes me...

As I've never experienced before.



Into the Heavenly realm

I ascend in wonderment,

now housed in an incorruptible body

and thankful that from sin I did repent.



Standing in God's throne room

freed of all Earthly flesh,

my spiritual essence is energized

and feeling fully refreshed.



Now gathered unto my Savior,

unencumbered reality is more than it…

THE UNMERCIFUL SERVANT SOWING AND REAPING

In Mathew 18 v21 we read of the unmerciful servant who refused to forgive his fellow man What happened to him

Well he was handed over to the tormentors So what are the tormentors…

In spite of my current situation in life, I was glad that a pastor friend invited me to speak on the second anniversary of their church last May 1. He gave me the invitation and I noticed that their theme is about "Love as the Key."

Luke 8: 1-15 is about "The Parable of the Sower." It is a very familiar parable. I have preached it myself for several times and I have heard also numerous messages based on this passage. But none struck me when my mind was opened to the immediate historical context when Jesus gave this parable.

As usual, it has been said repeatedly that four types of listeners of…

Luke Chapter 15:11-32 is the popular section of the Bible about "The Parable of the Lost Son." I was trained to think in our subject on biblical interpretation during my seminary days that a parable has only one central message. But I often hear preachers who preach from parables with multiple emphases. So I told to myself, maybe it is now time for me to deviate from the usual standard set by…

Prayer MATTERS.  

“Could I ask you an honest question?”  I asked, looking around at the faces of my Women of Passion last week.  Responding to their nods, I said, “Why is it so difficult to pray aloud?” Mini conversations broke out on both sides of our long luncheon tables …  It seems that people are just afraid they won’t ‘get it right’.  Their prayer won’t sound right—well, at least not as good, or as right as another’s!  ‘She practically sounds like a minister when…

As I return to this wonderful site that God has blessed me with, The first thing I do is go to my messages from so many of God children; so touched by His grace & love the Holy Spirit has touched each one with just the right words to lift me up when I may be feeling unworthy of love & compassion at times. The Father speaks to the heart where Jesus resides, and the Holy Spirit is waiting to guide us to the Father, if we simply just be still long enough to acknowledge the beauty &…

A song . . . a 1966 movie.  And sometimes in my mind when I step back from something, ‘try to see the bigger picture, it is those words than run through my mind—‘what’s it all about, Alfie?’  Funny thing is—looking up the lyrics today, I see that they really are quite meaningful; we’ll get back to that . . . in the meantime, where have we just been? 

We looked at Jesus’ final night with his disciples-

How he pleaded with the Father to change what would be his…

My brother and sisters

Am in need of serious encouragement right now,i feel this storm is just not letting up.

I have been job-hunting for about a year now,im currently in a job where i have been demoted and taken advantage of.

I have prayed,fasted and sought God's guidance but he seems so far from me.

I went for an interview two weeks ago which seemed very promising but they have just called me now saying i didnt get the job.

 I know God is…

GOT HIM.  9/11—do you remember?

Yes, I read when I am on the cardio machines at the gym . . . and in addition to studying Scripture and various commentaries, I read books on the power of prayer, and other inspirational Christian writings.  Interestingly enough, on the morning after Osama bin Laden’s demise, this was where I found myself today:  “I was an office worker assigned to the Tunnels, Bridges, and Terminals Department of the Port Authority of New York.  On the morning…
