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

Self- control

Be strong and steadfast. Don't let your feelings and anger rule you. Be careful to keep your wrath from pouring from your mouth. Such things have no business controlling your life. It damages others. It damages you even more! Process your emotions and stay self-controlled.  Glorify God in all you do! :) (Col. 3:17) "A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back." Proverbs 29:11 "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." James 1:19-20 Keep up all the good work! Look for opportunities to serve and spread the Word. Encourage a brother or sister today. :) Gal. 1:3-5

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...

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
