Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-13

(1 John 3:18 NKJV)  My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

This verse reminds us that action means more than just words themselves.

If we are going to share the love of God, we need to take action. How many of us today are so full of wanting to do something for God, but when we think of doing something, we think of the “mission field” as being in some other country where there is no water or food, or where there are lots of sick and lost people.

We need to take a look around right where we are at today. There are sick and hungry people, and there are lost and dying people everywhere. We don’t have to leave our country to find them…but start right where we are at.

Let us not waste one more day. Reach out today with actions of love and truth and may God’s love move through us MIGHTILY to help that ONE!! Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-25-12

(1 Cor 13:1-3 NKJV)  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. {2} And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. {3} And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

There are so many things we should do as believers and followers of Christ. We should give, we should help others, we should be kind, we should encourage.

We can possess many spiritual gifts and use them all for the sake of the kingdom of God.

We can reach out to people on a daily basis and do mighty works with our hands, our feet and our resources.

But if we do any or all of these without love, they are meaningless in the eyes of God.

Love can be a hard concept when we start to understand that we need to love without boundaries, without conditions and without any kind of prejudice or judgment whatsoever.

But we are commanded to love! It is not optional.

Once we get this and let God pour this into us, we will have a different outlook on everything around us.

Let God show you how to love with HIS love.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-12

(1 John 4:7-8 NKJV)  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. {8} He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Loving has got to be one of the most effective ways of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we don’t have anything else but love, then we have more than enough to go where ever Christ wants us to go.

It is the LOVE for one another that will break that hard heart; that cold stone, that angry behavior that tries to take over and cause us to walk a road of loneliness and terror.

If you know someone like this, don’t let the love of God lay dormant in you. Start sharing it with the one that is most likely not going to let you; that is the one that needs it the most.

How do we share the love of God? We first have to know the love of God and what He offers to us. If we don’t know His love personally we can’t very well share Him. We have to first experience His love for us on a personal level.

Once we’ve experienced it on a personal level in our own lives, then we can share it with others in an honest, sincere way that will help change people’s lives.

No more hard hearts for God’s people! We need soft, tender, gentle, caring and loving hearts to share God’s message with the world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-12

(Phil 2:4-8 NKJV)  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. {5} Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, {6} who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, {7} but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. {8} And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Selfish, self-centered, self-seeking, self-fulfilling; these words conjure up a lot in our minds when we think about them, don’t they?

And let’s be honest with ourselves; when we think of these words, we typically think of others that we know, don’t we?

The fragile nature of life has really been hitting home with us lately. God has impressed on us how important it is for us to appreciate the life that we’ve been blessed with. He wants us to make the most of it, each and every single day.

Being self-centered is easy for most of us. It’s almost second nature if we live by the flesh. If we live by God’s spirit, though, being selfish will become more and more difficult to do.

God wants us to consider others and see them as being important. We’re put here to love God and be a light to this dying world.

Take a few minutes today to ask God if your life is impacting anyone else around you in a positive way. Our lives should be a light to them without us having to preach to them or quote scriptures to them. It’s not about how many Bible verses we quote on a daily basis, but what we say and do in everyday settings and situations that impacts them the most!

It’s up to us to love them and impact their lives with our own lives. God has equipped us for this!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-4-12

(2 John 1:6 NKJV) This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
God’s love is in us as we receive Him into our lives. It’s up to us to let Him change us inside so that we can let it out to show those around us and to experience the JOY that comes from it!!

Walking in it is simply letting Him change us and sharing it with others. Even though Christ is in us it doesn’t mean people can see Him or sense Him. It’s up to us to let Him, the LOVE, out. It’s up to us to let Him train us and teach us How to walk in His commandments and SHINE!!

The commandments that God gave to us are for our own good and to help others as well. Understanding this will allow us to get more serious and really pay attention to them, and apply them to our daily walk.

We say daily because applying them at times in certain situations can be very, very challenging. But, with His Spirit in us and as we lean on Him for His strength, understanding, and wisdom it will be life changing for us and for those around us.

Enjoy God’s love and share it with others, by walking it out.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 1-12-12

(John 14:24 NKJV) “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

Keeping God’s word and the things He commands us fresh in our hearts everyday may take putting time aside to read and study. Learning more about God helps us to walk through this life with the right attitude, knowledge, wisdom and, most importantly, the love needed to share with others. It is all about getting our hearts right with God. If we don’t get our heart right with God and let Him change us from the inside out, we won’t be able to help anyone.

This does not mean that we will always do everything right. There will be times when we make mistakes, but even in those times God will help us fix things, as we go to Him, being careful not get stubborn and push away from Him. Staying open to God and those He may use to help us at times is so important.

God is a good God and He wants the best for us all. Keeping His words shows Him how much we love Him. We can tell Him we love Him all we want, and He loves to hear it!! But we also need to show Him by keeping His Words dear to us and acting on it  every moment of every day.
