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 – 4-14-20

1 John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

If we are a child of God, we know what love is, and we know how to use it.

God is love. He forgave our sins and received us as His child when we put our faith and trust in Him.

We cannot deny that the moment this happened we felt loved in a way we’d never felt before.

Oh, the warmth of God’s love wrapping around us the moment we said, “yes, I believe.” It’s like no other.

How many can testify of the love we felt in that moment of being born again?

I was only a young girl. But I’ll remember what I felt that day forever.

We know love, people. It’s in us. We were born again because of such love!

How do we lay down our lives for our brother?

We love them with that same love. We love them when they’re angry. We love them when they’re hurting. We love them when they talk foolish.

It’s easy to love our brother when they are good to us and easy to love. But, try loving them when they are annoying, frustrating and sassy.

It won’t be easy until we let God’s love shine. And in order to do that, we have to humbly accept the fact that He loved us that way, even in our worst moments.

He did not turn us away or talk down about us. He loved us the same then as He does now that we are cleaned up and living a different life.

Don’t ever forget where we came from. I speak for myself, but I’m sure we all have a story.

Lay down our lives for our brethren. We need each other.

I’m talking to someone today; you’ve been fighting with your brethren for some time now, and it’s not getting you anywhere.

You are always angry and uncomfortable around them. It’s time to stop and turn this thing around. In Jesus’ name, forgive them and love them with the love God put in us.

It’s time to walk this out and lighten your load. Today you will be free as you love on your brethren in spite of how they are as a person. Amen.

Our prayers are with you.

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 – 7-27-19

Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Every time we do a kind deed and reach out to someone in their time of trial, God knows.

A warm hug, a smile, or a shoulder to cry on costs us nothing. But, in return it pleases almighty God, our Father in Heaven!

He is watching, listening and remembering all the wonderful things we do from time to time.

They are not done in vain. They are done to share His love, even during times when we might be struggling with our own trials.

Our ministry of love is never forgotten in God’s eyes.

Be encouraged today. Keep on reaching out. We are all making a difference, one person at a time.

Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-26-18

Ephesians 5:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

These two verses are the sum of who we should be as children of God.

Though it is impossible to be 100% like God, He has told us to be imitators of Him in the way we act.

Jesus showed the world a kind of love that no one had ever seen. He put much time and effort into showing God’s love for people by walking it out in person. His love wasn’t fake or simulated. It was genuine.

And it was so pure that most could not understand or comprehend it. It was beyond their ability to make sense of it with human intellect.

Jesus loved to the point of giving His life for us. He spared no expense at proving this love. And when everything was said and done, He commanded us to love one another, even as He had loved us.

John 13:34 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

So who are we to disagree or argue with God? How do we justify not loving others when Jesus himself has commanded us to do so?

We would find ourselves hard pressed to find a suitable excuse or justify our lack of love if we were to stand before Jesus and answer for that lack of love.

We all know that some people are harder to love than others. And some days it’s harder to love anyone than on other days.

But, with the Holy Spirit guiding us, and us obeying Him, our excuses drop like specks of dust in comparison to the love Jesus showed us all.

Church, let’s work hard to love the way God has told us to. It might be hard in the beginning, but as we let Him lead us, and we follow that leading, we will find it getting easier and easier.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-7-16

Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Christmas is just around the corner. Everyone is busy shopping, planning parties and family gatherings. It sure is a great celebration.

In all the excitement and extra work that goes into planning for these events, it’s very easy to lose track or forget about the importance of why we are doing what we do.

It’s a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ; the very One who came to this earth to serve.

This can be a great opportunity for us to shine His light as we make sure those people He puts on our hearts are taken care of during this season.

Maybe they are going to be alone at Christmas, or they are financially struggling and going through a tough time.

Maybe there is someone we know who works so hard, but hardly ever gets noticed, so we take the time and do something kind for them.

What a way to celebrate Jesus and what He did for us, by taking time and caring for the one we know who needs a little something this Christmas.

We might think “what difference will it make to do this for just one person? It’s so little when there are so many in need. Why bother?”.

But if we all focused on just one, and there are thousands of us, that would be many “just ONES”! Amen.

Let God speak to our hearts this Christmas season and show us that “one”.

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 – 12-26-15

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

In the early hours of the morning of Wednesday, December 23, I had a very vivid dream.

In the dream, I was made aware that there would be a loss of life very soon. I hugged the one who was going to be dying. And I wept very strongly as I held them. There was someone with me in the dream who I have known for many years. As I wept, the passion with which I cried also overtook him and he began to weep.

And as the tears ran down his face, he said “boy, I’m not used to this”. It was as if he was experiencing God-driven emotion and passion for the first time.

The dream was so vivid and so real that the power of my weeping woke me up.

As I lay there contemplating it, my eyes were wet with tears. And as I shared the dream with Pastor Ellie in the wee hours of the morning, the power of the dream was still overwhelming, and I had to fight back tears many times as I told her about it.

And even now, as I write this, I can feel the strength of the dream still strong in my spirit.

I asked God to reveal to me why this was so strong… so powerful, when the one who was dying wasn’t anyone in my family or close to me.

And He showed us both that we need to have a zeal for life that is strong and that life not be taken for granted. We need to live each day to the fullest, making the most of every minute and loving those around us with His love and compassion.

Our lives are brief in the scope of eternity and what we do here must leave an everlasting footprint, an impression that will be felt for many years to come.

We can all easily get caught up in the chase. The chase for riches. The chase for popularity. The chase for fame. The chase for material things. And in the end, it’s all just stuff. Stuff that won’t make a single bit of difference when we’ve taken our last breath and have left this earth behind.

In the end, it’s all vanity and grasping for the wind.

And so we want to pass this along to all of you. Live life with a holy passion. Don’t take one breath for granted.

Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) 27 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Live with God’s compassion and love with God’s love.
