The Sabbath starts at sunset on Friday evening and ends at sunset on Saturday evening. So, how come the Christians don't celebrate the Sabbath? Jesus didn't do away with it, He celebrated the Sabbath. It wouldn't make sense for Him to celebrate the Sabbath and then do away with it when He died. God did command us to keep this day holy. He wants us to to take a break from worldly affairs.

What do you think?

Is God's Word Darkness?

Why is it that when I go into a Christian church, they always have people chit-chatting in the sanctuary? Isn't this room supposed to be kept Holy so that God's presence will be there?

If people bring the world into the sanctuary, I would think that it make the room not pure and therefore God's presence can not be there. I know the Catholics treat the sanctuary with the utmost respect. Maybe that's why I feel the warmth of God there and coldness when I'm in a Christian church.

Anybody else notice this?

Growing Spiritually

Matthew 7:1-2, 'Do not judge, and you will not be judged; because the judgments you give are the judgments you will get, and the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given.'

Is it right to look upon your fellowman and analyze them? To think or say mean things about them? To mock them? To say that they are evil? Who are we as imperfect as we are to pass judgment on another? Haven't we all done something wrong in our life? Jesus taught to 'Love One Another'.

Instead of looking at the bad traits of one another, why not try to bring out the good traits that everyone has inside them? We can do this by showing others how God and Jesus want us to be. We can pray for people on a daily basis and not let others get the best of us. People have been turned around just by praying for them or by carrying the love of God around with you.

Example: Has someone ever said something mean to you or ruffled your feathers and you called that person all kinds of names or wished ill on them in your thoughts, only to have that person come back later and apologize for acting the way they did? Maybe you formed an opinion of someone because of what someone else gossiped about them only to find out that they are the complete opposite? Be kind, thoughtful and caring of your fellowman no matter how they treat you back.

Acknowledge Your Sins and Make a Confession

Keep Your Faith Alive By Not Falling Into Despair

Proverbs 24:10, 'If you lose heart, when adversity comes your strength will only be weakness. Empty your hearts of worries, fears and doubts by placing your hope in God or despair will plague you. Trust God with your life, He can help you through your tough times, but it does take faith. Faith builds our strength, strength to endure anything that this world can throw at us.

God doesn't want you to wimp out, that is why He will be there for you. Call on Jesus and let Him show you the way, He will help you build your faith and empty your heart of the very things that kill faith. We are going to need all the help we can get, don\'t wait until the last minute. Faith takes time to build. God Bless You

Give Me Hope O Lord - Keep me out of despair

'John 14:1, 'Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God still and trust in Me - Jesus.' We can trouble our hearts in many ways like hardships for one. If we say that we trust God and Jesus yet we still worry or fear for the worst, then we do not trust God or Jesus.

Let's show God and Jesus that we have faith in them to help us through any hardship, test, trial or any burden that may come our way. Be positive, that is what God and Jesus want us to be. Being negative only drags us down and causes us to suffer. Be strong in your faith and trust for God and Jesus and they will always be there for you. God Bless You.


What is Truth? - Put your trust in God and fear no more.

Do You Like To Be Reproved and Corrected?

The Bible is a great tool for finding out what our character defects are. The Word of God is written in this book to help us save ourselves from eternal damnation. That is why God gave us these instructions, not to hurt us, but to help us because He loves us and He only wants the best for us.

He gave us free will to chose our own destiny and God knows that we are up against the strong forces of evil. He sent His Son Jesus to help and guide us back to God so that we may have life and not spiritual death. We have this tendency to deceive ourselves into thinking that we are good people without ever truly looking inward at ourselves.

Hebrews 4:12, 'For the Word of God is quick, and powerful and sharper that any two-edged sword and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' The flesh is corrupt in its own way, it wants what the world has to offer and is quick to rebel against God. Many people take what the Bible says and interprets it to mean what they want it to say or they avoid it all together because they know that it will reprove their lifestyle.

If only people would realize that the Word of God will lead us to true happiness, peace, joy and total freedom from the bondages of this world, not false or temporary happiness that the things of this world offer us. Find a better life for now and forever in the Word of God. Call on His blessed Son Jesus Christ to help and guide you. God Bless You

Remove Character Defects

Who are your enemies? 

They are anyone who disrupts that inner peace that dwells within you. In the Bible it says if you love someone and they love you back, what reward is there in that? It goes on to say to love your enemies and by doing so you will reap hot coals on their head.

Love can conquer all, even your enemies. Love can also help someone to recognize the emptiness and loneliness that dwells within them. Anyone that loves their enemies will benefit greatly from this. They will be able to control their emotions to the point where one's enemies cannot harm them. Why engage in war with another, why not love them and keep that inner peace that we all so desire?
 
Love Your Neighbor - Love Your Enemies

'When Your Enemies Surround You, Seek God For Protection'

'Everyday we face our enemies, some may invade our thoughts and cause us to make bad choices. Others may come in the form of what people do that affect us emotionally. Then there are those things that seem to go wrong for us. We have a choice to make when these things invade us and try to cause us unrest, or disrupt the calmness that we try to keep within us.

When we are attacked by our enemies, we can make a choice whether to react back in a hostile way, let it cause us emotional pain or throw our thought process out of whack. We can fight back by turning our enemies over to God and seeking His protection from them. Don't let your enemies get the best of you, the faster you fight them, the less chance that they can get a foothold on you and make things worse. 

What are some ways that you use to fight back?'

Sheltered in the Arms of God

Humility feeds the soul and pride feeds the flesh. The flesh is corrupt and it will always be corrupt. That is why God allowed death, so that we don't live in sin forever. God originally created us as a living soul to live forever. But when Adam and Eve sinned, they brought death with them.

Thank God for Jesus Christ because He will prepare us and lead us back to God (if we let Him) to live forever. Once this flesh dies, our soul will be set free from this corrupt flesh body. We need to overcome the flesh and practice humility. God Bless You

Give Up Your Old Way of Life - Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

Ephesians 4:17-19, "In particular, I want to urge you in the name of the Lord, not to go on living the aimless kind of life that pagans live. Intellectually they are in the dark, and they are estranged from the life of God, without knowledge because they have shut their hearts to it. Their sense of right and wrong once dulled, they have abandoned themselves to sexuality and eagerly pursue a career of indecency of every kind."

Does this look like the path that many in the United States and England has taken? Does it surprise you as to why these two nations are in such terrible shape? It's amazing as to how much patience God has, but if you look, you can see how He has been withdrawing His blessings and we are becoming a mockery to the other nations of the world.

The economy is in the dumps, the governments are lacking any kind of good leaders, violence is rampant and growing at a rapid pace, people are not respecting the law and so on.

You can avoid all this by living the life that God wants us to. Who in this world can possibly protect you? or help you with your needs? God can where man cannot. There is no one more powerful than God or anyone that you can truly trust. You can find all this out by seeking the Truth. Jesus is the way back to God, He is truth and life. All it takes is your desire to do what it says in the next set of scriptures.

Ephesians 4:22-24, "You must give up your old way of life; you must put aside your old self, which gets corrupted by following illusory desires. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution so that you can put on the new self that has been created in God's way, in the goodness and holiness of the Truth."
