NO MATTER WHAT WE LOSE, CONSIDER IT A GAIN FOR JESUS CHRIST.

 PAUL LEARNED THAT NO MATTER WHAT IS TAKEN FROM US ON THIS EARTH, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE JESUS.

JESUS IS WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO US WHO ARE SAVED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.


PHILIPPIANS 3:7-8

BUT WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME, THESE I HAVE COUNTED AS LOSS FOR CHRIST.  

YET INDEED I ALSO COUNT ALL THINGS LOSS FOR THE EXCELLENCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS MY LORD, FOR WHOM I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, AND COUNT THEM AS RUBBISH, THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST.

NO MATTER WHAT IT IS WE LOSE, WE, LIKE PAUL CAN COUNT IT AS RUBBISH.

THERE ARE NO U-HAULS BEHIND A HEARSE.

USE WHATEVER GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU, AND BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TO USE.

MARK 8: 35-37

FOR WHOEVER DESIRES TO SAVE HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, BUT WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE AND THE GOSPELS WILL SAVE IT.

FOR WHAT WILL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS OWN SOUL?


BELOVED, LOOK AT ALL THE LOSS FROM FIRES AND HURRICANES AND FLOODS, THINGS PEOPLE HAD SET THEIR HEART ON. 

SOME CAN BE REPLACED, OTHERS ARE LOST FOREVER.


WE NEED TO BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL GOD HAS GIVEN US TO USE, NOT LOVE.  

SET YOUR AFFECTIONS ON THE THINGS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

JESUS IS OUR TREASURE, HE GIVES US ALL THINGS TO ENJOY, BUT NOT HOARD.

1 TIMOTHY 6: 17

COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT TO BE HAUGHTY, NOR TO TRUST IN UNCERTAIN RICHES BUT IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO GIVES US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY.

USE THINGS AND LOVE PEOPLE. DON'T USE PEOPLE AND LOVE THINGS.


ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY, AS IT COULD BE GONE TOMORROW.  

GOD GIVES US ONE DAY AT A TIME, ENJOY THAT DAY AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.


IF YOU HAVE NEVER INVITED JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HEART TO TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.  

HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE, FORGIVENESS OF SINS HE WILL TAKE ALL BURDENS OF GUILT AND SHAME, 

BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU AND TOOK ALL THAT ON HIS CROSS.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY IN JESUS.


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, ...
