In Tenderness lies the greatest strength of the human heart, and showing kindness is all part of God's nature.

From one who loves with God's love, there is a kindness and a tenderness in their expression.

 Never reply to a insult with another insult.  It is like throwing dirt on mud.

 That's not God's nature. His nature is LOVE!

 Take time when you have been insulted or hurt, and wait for the strength of the Holy Spirit, to direct your words, if in fact you are to say anything at all.

 Like my mom used to quote to us, "Silence is golden"

 Time is our safeguard, so that we do not allow fleshly answers to come pouring out of our mouth.

 Our human instinct is to fight back, our Godly instinct is to hold our peace.

 Galatians 5:16 -17
I say then; walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things you wish.

 This is where the Holy Spirit comes in with the right attitude and God's love.

 Our reaction should come from a heart of love, remember, hurt people will hurt people.

 Psalm 18:35-36
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
You enlarge my path under me, so my feet did not slip.

 I love what A.W. Tozer said, " dead people don't react, they are dead. 

 Make a point daily to pray that you will die to the flesh and become alive in the Spirit.
With the Holy Spirit's power in you, you cannot lose.

 Never try to fight a battle in your own strength, ask the Holy Spirit to remind you, you are not alone, and draw on the strength of the Lord.

 The Joy of the Lord is your strength.

 God bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
