Bring Alongside

        It is a Tuesday/Monday day for us. We have had a blessed weekend! Let us add to our faith today. Let us add virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. We need to bring these in by the side of what God does.  God’s part is done only on the condition that we do ours.  This list is something that does not get added to our faith like you add a sack of potatoes to your grocery bill. It takes effort. It takes focus and diligence to add these to your faith. Although they are very small and insignificant compared with what God does for us we must add them. Every child of God must hasten to add them to our faith so that we may avail in the promises and blessings of our Father. Do not lack in them being shortsighted, even to blindness, forgetting you are cleansed for your old sins. We must add and abound in these things alongside what God does so that we may be fruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Choose one from this list and work on it today. Add to your faith today.

“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.” 2 Pet. 1:5-9

Be fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord and savior. Seek to add to your faith today. Seek to save lost souls this week! Keep working hard for our reward is out of this world! :)

Gal. 1:3-5

Family Light

Make sure your light is always shining no matter what your family is doing. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.   “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV

The Core

The center of all things is life.  Our lives can be run by our selfish ambitions or the life that Christ gives. That decision rest in your hands. If your life revolves around you and what you want, then you will be rewarded accordingly. However, if your life revolves around Christ there is a crown of life awaiting you. Who has to get out of the way for this to happen? You do. You have to crucify yourself. You must say “It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me!”  We must enthrone Christ in our lives. Make your life Christ centered.  Start today. “But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:  that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Eph. 4:20-24 "I ha...

The Other Half

            It is a wonderful Thursday. Every day is wonderful in the Lord. For Christians knowledge is half the battle. We can know all about God’s word. We could have read the bible ten times over. We can master bible trivia.  What good is it if we do not act on it? Obtaining and keeping the knowledge of the truth is half the battle. The other half is doing it. Without action knowledge has no value. What good is having the knowledge a bridge it out, seeing warning signs that the bridge is out, and watching others suffer from the bridge being out if it does not cause you to act? Your fate will be the same as all the others who had knowledge but did not act. Only those who act will be blessed. How much action/work are putting forth in the Lord? How much of yourself are you giving? We must fight the other half of the battle. That other half is the life we have been blessed by God to live on this earth.  Go work in Christ t...
