Persevere

Monday has made its way around again. I am so glad that we get to start our week off with the Lords day. The Lords day makes Mondays a cake walk.  Perseverance is a must to be a successful Christian. We must keep our flams lit and our fires high for God. It must be added to our faith. We have to have it to make it to heaven. It is not easy. Perseverance is when the rubber hits the road. When you have spiritual sweet running down your brow, your knuckles are busted from fighting the fight, your legs have grown weary from running the race, and your exhausted from your service to the Lord perseverance is what keeps you going. Those very times will increase our perseverance. Persevere in doing good today!

“to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,” 2 Pet. 1:6

“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;” Rom.5:3

“eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;” Rom. 2:7


By patience continue in doing good every day! Seek to share the word. Seek to serve God. Keep working hard. J
Gal. 1:3-5

Be Careful Judging

Judgment is wrong. Righteous judgement is not. That is, we can evaluate others lives based on the word and go to their aid when they are struggling.

(Romans 14:4) “Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4 NKJV

Lasting Effects

The family God setup continued to deteriorate as time went on. The same plague haunted those families that haunts ours.   If we let this plague of sin go unchecked and refuse to inoculate ourselves against it, then we too will become the rotted poor sad reflection of God’s real intent. Do not laugh at or take the  power of sin in your life and family lightly. “that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil co...

Circumstances To Rejoice In

What is a good time to rejoice? What circumstances should cause us to rejoice? Christianity is never without its opportunities to rejoice. We should rejoice when we are under persecution. (Matt. 5:11-12) We should rejoice with others who are full of joy. (Rm. 12:15) We should rejoice in our sufferings. (Col. 1:23-24) We need to rejoice in His salvation. (Isaiah 25:9) Although we might not feel like rejoicing in some of these circumstances we are called to. Joy is more than a feeling it is about knowing. In all circumstance, we know all things belong to God and all things are under His rule. Rejoice in Christ. “ if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,” C...
