TODAY'S QUOTE

All our heartaches and a great many of

our physical ills spring directly out of our

sins.  Pride, arrogance, resentfulness, evil

imaginings, malice, greed are the sources

of more human pain than all the diseases 

that ever afflicted mortal flesh.”

- A. W. Tozer -

 

THINK ONLY

"For I have told you often before,

and I say it again with tears in my

eyes, that there are many whose

conduct shows they are really 

enemies of the cross of Christ.

The are headed for destruction.

Their god is their appetite, they

brag about shameful things, and

they think only about this life

here on earth."

(Philippians 3:18,19 NLT)

This is scary.  The apostle Paul is writing to

the church at Philippi.  Yes, the Christians,

or at least professed Christians at Philippi.

And some of them are headed for destruction

because they THINK only about the things of

this world.

I see the same thing today.  People at church

who only talk about the things of this life,

even at church.  And if you follow them on

social media it is the same thing.  Professed

Christians, who you never hear a word 

 about spiritual things, only about the things

of this life.

We need to get our hearts and minds out 

of this life and it's problems and on to

the things of God.

"Since you have been raised to

new life with Christ, set your sights

on the realities of heaven, where

Christ sits in the place of honor

at God's right hand.  Think about

the things of heaven, not the things

of earth."

(Colossians 3:1,2 NLT)

 

TODAY'S PROMISE

"Instead, be kind to each other,

tenderhearted, forgiving one

another, just as God through

Christ has forgiven you."

(Ephesians 4:32 NLT)

 

TRAINING

“The members of the council were amazed 

when they saw the boldness of Peter and 

John, for they could see that they were

ordinary men with no special training in

the Scriptures.  They also recognized them

as men who had been with Jesus.”

(Acts 4:13 NLT)

I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH TRAINING YOU

HAVE HAD.  I WANT TO BE TAUGHT BY 

SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN WITH JESUS.

 

TODAY'S QUOTE

“Dying to self is the for to

godliness (Galatians 2:20)

And it is a choice we 

must make.”

- K.P. Yohannan -

 

JUST A THOUGHT.

"Jesus called a little child to him

and put the child among them.

Then he said, 'I tell you the truth,

unless you turn from your sins and

become like little children, you will

never get into the Kingdom of

Heaven.  So anyone who becomes

as humble as this little child is the

greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven."

(Matthew 18:2-4 NLT)

"At that time Jesus prayed this 

prayer: 'O Father, Lord of heaven

and earth, thank you for hiding

these things from those who think

themselves wise and clever, and for

revealing then to the childlike.

Yes, Father, it pleased you to do

it this way!"

(Matthew 11:25,26 NLT)

When was the last time you saw a child

flaunting a title:

Reverend, Doctor, Bishop, Pastor, etc?

 

TODAY'S PROMISE

"My child, never forget the 

things I have taught you.

Store my commands in your

heart.

If you do this, you will live 

many years, and your life

will be satisfying."

(Proverbs 3:1,2 NLT)
