DON'T TRY TO MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN, TRY TO MAKE YOUR ABSENCE FELT, LOVE WILL DO THAT.

THERE ARE SOME IN DIFFERENT CHURCHES, THAT STRIVE TO BE KNOWN AND TO PUSH THEIR WAY TO WHAT THEY THINK IS THE TOP.

 THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH SELF. (1 CORINTHIANS 13:4) PRIDE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPENTED OF BEFORE THEY TAKE A FALL.

 THEY ARE PEOPLE PLEASER'S.  THEY WANT PEOPLE TO ADMIRE THEM AND SEE THEMSELVES AS INVALUABLE TO THE CHURCH.

 THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST, AND THE LAST WILL 
BE THE FIRST.

 MATTHEW 20:16
" SO THE LAST WILL BE FIRST, AND THE FIRST LAST.  FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN."

 MATTHEW 20:26-27
"YET IT SHALL NOT BE SO AMONG YOU, BUT WHOEVER DESIRES TO BECOME GREAT AMONG YOU, LET HIM BE YOUR SERVANT, 
"AND WHOEVER DESIRES TO BE FIRST AMONG YOU, LET HIM BE YOUR SLAVE-JUST AS THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY.


THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE IN THE BACKGROUND, AND SHOW GREAT LOVE AND MERCY TO THE DOWN AND OUTER'S AND ALL THOSE AROUND THEM.

 IF THEY WERE GONE, THEY WOULD BE MISSED AND THEIR ABSENCE WOULD BE FELT.  

 THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO SHINE WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS, AND DON'T MIND BEING IN THE BACKGROUND.
IN FACT, THEY PREFER TO BE UN-NOTICED. THEY KNOW THE PRAISE  AND GLORY GOES TO JESUS FOR WHATEVER THEY ACCOMPLISH. 

 UNLIKE THE WORLD, THEY WILL TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THEMSELVES.

 THEY DO WHAT JESUS DID.  HE LEFT THE MULTITUDE AND WENT TO A GUILT RIDDEN WOMAN AT THE WELL. (JOHN 4:1-26)

 JESUS DIDN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WOULD THINK.  HE WAS ON A MISSION TO SET SOMEONE FREE.

 MAKE YOUR ABSENCE KNOWN BY PEOPLE MISSING THE LOVE YOU SHARED TO THOSE AROUND YOU.  
THE GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT YOU WERE TO OTHERS, THE THINGS YOU HAVE TAUGHT THEM.

 HOW YOU WERE WILLING TO GO THE SECOND MILE WITHOUT BEING ASKED TO.

 BELOVED, PEOPLE WILL COME AND GO IN YOUR LIFE AS YOU FOLLOW JESUS,
BUT THINK FOR A MOMENT WHO IT IS THAT YOU MISS, BECAUSE THEY MOVED ON OR YOU MOVED ON. 
EITHER TO ANOTHER STATE OR TOWN, OR THEY HAVE MOVED ON TO THEIR HEAVENLY REWARD.

 HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY IN JESUS, AND KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON HIM, ASK YOURSELF IN A GIVEN SITUATION, "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ABOUT THIS"

 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7
"LOVE SUFFERS LONG AND IS KIND; LOVE DOES NOT ENVY; LOVE DOES NOT PARADE ITSELF, IS NOT PUFFED UP; DOES NOT BEHAVE RUDELY, DOES NOT SEEK ITS OWN, IS NOT PROVOKED, THINKS NO EVIL, 
DOES NOT REJOICE IN INIQUITY, BUT REJOICES IN THE TRUTH; BEARS ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS, ENDURES ALL THINGS. 

 LIVE BY GOD'S WORD AND YOU WILL HAVE A FULL, PEACEFUL, CONTENT LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE.

 HAVE AN AWESOME DAY IN JESUS, LET HIS LOVE RULE YOUR HEART.

 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, ...
