Thought For The Day

  THE TREE Did you know that the evergreen tree speaks of new life? Life for us is that Jesus was crucified on a tree. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. Whoever lives and believes in me shall never  die. Do you believe this? 1Peter 2:24 Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose strips we were healed. LIGHTS The lights that we light up our home with, remind us that Jesus is the light of the world. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them saying, "I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. CANDLES Candles with their sweet fragrance, reminds us of our Lords sacrifice was a sweet aroma to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. Walk in love, as Christ also loved us and  given himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for...

  We see that entertainment has taken the place of true worship. With flashing lights, the beat of the worlds music.  Joshua 24:14-15 Now therefore fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt, Serve the Lord! "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourself this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the Gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Remember beloved, while they worshipped the golden calf of religion, they danced and did what the people of Egypt did. We see that today in some churches. They want big numbers, not great disciples. We have allowed Phycology to take the place of the work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus confronted sin, and the disciples did also. There is too much worldly counsel dealing with self, they are not taught tha...

Beloved, there are those that do not obey God's word, because they think that grace covers them. They believe that they can do whatever they desire, because they are under God's grace.  This is not true. Obedience to God's word with the Grace of God, will produce great results.  Grace and obedience are  team. Romans 5:17 For if  by the man's offence death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in this, life through the the One, Jesus Christ. When you live by the grace of God you will obey His word and walk in holiness. Reminding ourselves that we are the righteousness of God, because of the shed blood of Jesus. 1Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
