Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-24

Mark 16:15 (NKJV) 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

I am feeling grateful today.

It’s been 3 years since my dad passed.

He was such a great dad, it’s still hard for me to believe he is gone.

Since losing him, death has become very real to me. I never really spent any time thinking of it until his departure from this earth.

Perhaps there are others out there like me. It has become so real to you too.

We cannot know when our own time will come. But we do need to be ready.

It makes me wonder how many folks are not ready to go.

How many have never heard about Jesus and His saving grace? Or how many have, but have not really taken Him seriously? How many are just lukewarm and have never made a solid commitment?

Revelation 3:16 (NKJV) 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

It makes me realize how important our work here is as believers. I’m scared for people like this who don’t get their hearts right. Where will they spend eternity?

You see, I know my dad is home.

It brings me and the rest of my family great comfort when we know our loved ones are home, where we will also go when our time comes.

Some people just aren’t sure, and they need to be.

It makes me that much more willing to do what it takes to reach that one person. It’s so important that we are sure of our salvation and the salvation of those we love and care for.

The work we do is not about Pastors Curt and Ellie.

This is God’s work, to reach anyone who needs Christ. We are just vessels trying to get His truth to them.

Thank you for joining us. We are so very grateful for you.

Together, we will teach and share His love, and many will have a home in Heaven and spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ!

It brings us great JOY! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-24

Acts 16:3 (NKJV) 3 Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

Paul’s main concern was always to preach the gospel.

Even though Paul was free from all the religious hang-ups, etc., he was constrained by the weaknesses of others. So, he would enter their world to win them to Christ.

In this case, he wanted Timothy to go with him. But Timothy, being half Jew and half Greek, had not been circumcised.

Paul knew that taking him into the Jewish synagogues would be a problem. So, out of simple Christian courtesy, Timothy was circumcised.

We have to be mature when there are social, cultural and religious differences that try to stand in the way of preaching the gospel.

We need to let God give us His wisdom to do what it takes to reach the lost.

Sometimes it takes doing the uncomfortable thing.

Are we willing to do what it takes, like Paul and Timothy, to share the word of God?

It is all worth it in the end to know that there is rejoicing going on in Heaven when someone puts their faith in our Savior!

Praise be to God, He gives us the maturity we need to go beyond the uncomfortable and into unfamiliar territory to reach those in need today.

Amen.

Luke 15:7 (NKJV) 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-23

2 Timothy 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Few are willing to tell us that being a believer is not always an easy road.

As believers, it takes sincerity of heart for a person to really change when God begins putting His finger on things in our lives.

It takes trust. Trusting God to help us make the sacrifices needed and righteous choices in the most difficult times.

It takes being ready at all times.

Just a month ago, we went to a church event/gathering. It was an outreach for the community.

In this event, which was held by a well-established church, there was barely a mention of God. And the music that was played at this outdoor event through a DJ was all secular.

We are not judging them by any means. We are sure they do a lot of good things.

What kept going through my mind at the time was, what about the one? The one person who may need to hear about God’s love and His offer of forgiveness through Christ.

There was an open door to reach the lost, and yet there was little or no mention of God; no lifting Him up.

What if that one person was at that point of breaking, and they needed to hear about God’s love?

What is going on?

Jesus said, “if I am lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me”.

John 12:32 (NKJV) 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

My prayer today is that the church will get back to its foundation, the reason why we are here; so that as we lift Him up, and His presence is with us, those around us may be drawn to Him.

My prayer is that we don’t stop spreading the good news! That we keep reaching out, sharing God’s truth. And that at every opportunity, we will lift up the name of God and His beautiful Son, Jesus Christ!

God help us stay focused and not get distracted and miss the one.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-22

John 4:39 (NKJV) 39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

Sharing what God has done for us, the things He has brought us through, and the grace and mercy He has given us at times will help others to believe that He is a good God.

A personal testimony is always so touching. It will help others to see He was not just there for those in the Bible days, but that He is alive and moving even today!

Jesus talked with this woman. When He told her all that she had done, it opened her eyes to see that He was the Christ. She ran and told others. And by doing so, others believed too!

I find it interesting that nothing is hidden from Him, but yet we hold back on opening up. At times we carry some heavy things around with us until we break and we can’t do it any longer.

He knows our story already. Let Him help us get free from it all. He will bring healing and deliverance to us. Why? Because He loves us and will forgive us.

Our testimony to others can be the very thing that helps them find Jesus in their lives. But like this woman, we must not be worried or afraid to share the things He does for us.

Let His boldness rise up within us and open our hearts to let it out.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-21

Colossians 4:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside.

Who are those “who are outside”? The unbelieving, unsaved people that we know and encounter on a daily basis.

Interacting with unbelievers can be challenging for all of us from time to time.

Sometimes it’s effortless. Other times, especially if a particular person is boisterous, knowing what to say or not to say to them can be tough.

We always need God’s wisdom, leaning on the Holy Spirit to know just how to receive them and interact with them.

We have some solid counsel directly from God’s word, in the scripture above; speak with grace. Not harshly, condescendingly or with insults.

Seasoned with salt; speaking truth, even if the truth isn’t necessarily wanted by that person, standing firm on that truth in the confidence of God’s Spirit, but with the love of God always at the forefront of what we say.

That you may know how to answer each one; seeking God’s wisdom each and every time, not just answering quickly, based on emotion or human intellect.

Things can sometimes get heated when dealing with unbelievers. And if we’re not careful, we can get caught up in our emotions, lashing out at them with verbal poison that will not accurately reflect God’s grace.

This is very easy to get drawn into with some people. But it’s something we need to learn how to handle on a person-by-person basis.

God’s love isn’t mushy. It does not compromise truth. It exudes grace, but never at the cost of letting lies go unexposed.

So, let’s learn to walk that delicate line where truth is spoken and God’s grace is made known by our words and our attitudes.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-21

Matthew 5:3 (NKJV) 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Who are the poor in spirit?

It is those who recognize their spiritual poverty, understanding their need for Christ. When this happens, we will put aside all self-dependence and earnestly seek God’s grace and mercy.

This is what salvation is all about.

We don’t just speak it with our mouth and then move on. We receive His guidance and teaching throughout our life. We completely put our trust in Him!

It is a day-to-day walk and relationship with Him.

It is not to be taking lightly, but in being thankful for the blessing that He has given to us as we acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Savior. Our spirit unites with Him and we become ONE.

In everything we do, He is with us. And He will guide us daily if we let Him.

After I got saved as a young girl, I was walking down the road, talking to my girlfriend. I was so excited and happy, I can’t even explain the joy I had in me.

Because she was my friend, I wanted to share my experience with her, with the hope she would do the same.

But it didn’t happen that way. She did not get excited, and really didn’t care much about what had happened to me.

She actually remarked with words that I would soon find out that many use. “Oh, your one of those churchy people?”

I think that was the first time I experienced rejection because of my faith. It made me sad to think that my friend had no interest in this amazing and life-changing decision.

I hurt for her.

Why would someone not want such a beautiful blessing?

We will experience this in our walk at times. We can’t let it get us down. Just keep on pressing in. And if God leads you to do so, keep sharing.

Some will jump at it and some will mock it and tear it down.

Either way, we are blessed children of God! For ours is the kingdom of heaven!

Keep shining, knowing that we are blessed! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-3-19

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV) 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

This is our prayer for you today.

You are all so precious to us; so dear to our hearts. God has truly blessed us with some wonderful and special people like yourselves.

We want God’s very best for you. We thank you for being faithful in your prayers and support to this ministry. May you reap God’s very best for your present situation.

Seven Seas is moving at a nice forward pace and we are loving every bit of it, giving God all the glory!

Because of your help, the outreach has grown tremendously, reaching people in nations around the world. Even in some of the toughest places to get into, His word is penetrating the hearts of those who are eager and sincere to hear truth.

His word is alive, therefore it brings life to wherever and whoever it touches.

You may say, “well, I’m not doing much”. But you are doing much if your obedience is in Him. That is all He asks. It’s that simple.

His prompting of you, and you listening in spite of how you feel and think, you are part of reaching so many lives and making a difference in this world.

God gave me a vision of soil. It was dark and rich; and it had been tilled. It was soft and ready for seeds to be planted in it. Good soil for sure; the best that I have ever seen.

If we wonder what God is saying today, we only need to remember the words of Jesus;  If you love me, “feed my sheep”. Not just once, not twice, but 3 times He said this!

John 21:17 (NKJV) 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.

Plant those seeds in that good soil and reap a harvest. Amen.

God bless you and your tender, kind hearts. He is using you to make a huge difference! Continue to follow Him and watch how He cares for your every need. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-29-16

Genesis 1:22 (NKJV) 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

We are children of the Most High God! He has blessed us and commanded us to be fruitful.

He has given to us what we need to be fruitful. We have wisdom, knowledge, understanding, strength and compassion through His Spirit that lives in us. And we take Him wherever we go.

If we are in school, if we have a job, or if we go to church, He comes with us. We take Him to the gym, shopping and out with friends. He goes with us everywhere!

He has blessed us and made us in His image.

Let’s show others what our Daddy is like, as we are forgiving, sensitive, kind, loving, caring, happy and giving to those we encounter and spend time with.

Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-26-15

John 12:32 (NKJV) 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

How can we get people to come to Jesus?

When we lift Him up. When we glorify Him, praise Him, share about Him, His goodness, and His truth with others.

He will draw all people to Himself as we lift Him up.

Sharing about the things He has done in our lives works in a mighty way! It leads the lost to their Savior. It restores those who are hurting, and brings healing to the sick.

Open up our mouths today and share the good news. Don’t be afraid what people may think or say about us; it’s time to open up and share!

It’s time for all of us, no matter what denomination we are from, to come together, put all our differences aside and lift up the One that we all agree on to be the Son of the Almighty God, Jesus Christ.

Together we can watch as He draws all people to Himself, as we become one in Him with one purpose; to see the lost Saved!! Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-14

(Matthew 10:14 NKJV)  “And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Never try to force our opinions, our ideas or our beliefs on anyone.

People that are ready, will listen. People that are not ready or don’t want to hear it, will shut down and we usually can sense it and know it.

Being forceful will only cause further rebellion and can actually push people away from God.

So don’t waste time on those that are not willing to listen. Move on, for there are others waiting and ready to hear and receive the good things that God has done for us and what He can do for them.

Don’t take it personal if someone rejects what you have to say. We can always continue to pray for God’s will to be done in their lives, and prayer is very powerful.

Shake off the dust from our feet and move forward!
