Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-14

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

Learning how to walk with God takes discipline and sacrifice. There might be things we enjoy that we will have to let go of.

When I was a child going to Sunday school, we sang this song, “be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little ears what you hear, and be careful little hands what you do…because there’s a Father up above And He’s looking down in love”. Not just as children, but as adults as well, we need to be careful.

The things we see, hear and do are the open doors to our heart. These are the doors we need to be protective of, only letting in those things that are good and will keep us on the right path.

Being lukewarm is when we are dabbling a little in things that we know aren’t good for us and also a little with God. We don’t commit to one or the other.

This kind of behavior can cause us to become desensitized to the things that are not good for us, and before we know it, we are heading down the wrong path and our relationship with our family, friends, and those that we were once close with, including God, begins to change.

Be careful and alert to the things we are not supposed to be watching, listening to and participating in. It does affect our walk with God and the protection on our lives as Christians.

(John 14:23 NKJV)  Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-8-13

1 John 2:28 (NKJV) And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Today we’d like to bring a very simple, direct, straight-forward word.

Abide in Him.

Abide: To continue in a place

We need to continue in Christ, not wavering in our faith or straying from the path He has set before us.

Over the past two decades we have seen many, many people fall away from God, turning their backs and walking away from Him. Some of these instances happened very quickly and deliberately. Others happened slowly, over a period of time.

One of the biggest common denominators in all of the people we know who walked away from God is that they were the last ones you would ever expect to do such a thing, based on their outward behavior… the way they acted or spoke.

They were very vocal when in a church service, always shouting the loudest amen or worshiping God in what appeared to be a very reverent way.

But when the rubber met the road, trials came or something happened that they couldn’t understand or they didn’t agree with, these were the first to turn and run as far as they could get from God.

So we want to encourage you today; abide in Him. Stand strong in your faith. If you’re struggling with something, get godly counsel. If you have questions, seek answers from people you trust.

Never let your faith grow stagnant. Keep it strong and growing. And always, always run toward God, not away from Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-20-12

(Proverbs 2:7-8 NKJV)  He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; {8} He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.

God is our protection, and our shield. Don’t be afraid…but stand strong in His wisdom and His might!

Know that our God can handle anything that tries to take us out or take us down.

Stay close to Him.
