Bible Verse of The Day – 12-21-13

1 Thessalonians 1:2 (NKJV) We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers…

You are loved and appreciated.

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t stop and take the time to thank God for you, our faithful readers.

Even as so many of you have sent us emails, thanking us for what we do, those very words that you have sent are a big encouragement to us.

So, from the very bottom of our hearts, we thank you for being a part of what God has called us to do, and we pray for His blessings over your lives.

Please pray for us also. We are truly grateful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-3-13

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

This was the very first commandment Jesus gave to the disciples after He sent Judas away, giving Judas permission to go and betray Him.

Jesus knew He would only be around for a little while longer. His time had come.

He spent His entire time here loving all those that were around Him and those that He came in contact with. This commandment can make all the difference in the world as we follow His example.

As we go to work or school, care for our children, etc., wherever we go… take time to really love those around us. No matter how they may treat us, let us love them and do what Jesus commanded.

Have a great week!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-15-13

(1 Peter 4:8 NKJV)  And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

Have fervent love for one another. Is this a cheesy Valentine ‘s Day message? Absolutely not.

Valentine’s day is man-made and has nothing to do with the love that God wants us to share with one another. But God tells us to love one another with “fervent love”. Fervent means “having great intensity”.

This isn’t always easy, is it? Oh, we can “like” people, but how do we learn to love them fervently?

There’s only one way; to see them as God sees them and to love them with God’s love, not ours.

This takes a lot of practice and a lifetime to get right. But this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it.

God has commanded us in His word. That’s enough reason for me to want to do it. How about you?

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-12

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

Love one another.

Jesus gave us a new commandment. He didn’t tell us to be sure to walk on water once per week. He didn’t tell us to be sure to part the seas on a regular basis. And He didn’t tell us to regularly turn water into wine.

Now, don’t get us wrong… these are all miraculous things. But even if we were able to perform these miracles, by the power of the Holy Spirit, on a regular basis, if we didn’t have love, we would be empty and the miracles would be meaningless.

Love is the ultimate gift that we have been given, so that we, in return, can give it to others.

Love conquers all. Love is patient, kind, humble, considerate, hopeful, generous and so much more. When we truly learn to love the way that Jesus taught us to love, it will change our lives and the lives of those around us.

Oh, and by the way, we need to note that Jesus told us that this was a new commandment, not a suggestion!

Love one another.
