The father is a debtor to his child and owes him love, provision, and nurture. The child is a debtor to his parent and owes them honor and obedience.
~William Gurnall~
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us. ~ Henri Nouwen
If you’re too busy to find time for God, you’re too busy! Don’t let busyness keep you from your father's business. I like this reminder B - Being U - Under S - Satan’s Y - Yoke Jason Powell
There’s more taking place in the miracles of Christ than just feeding multitudes, changing water into wine, and healing disease. He enters our world with compassion.
Dustin Benge
We often spend so much time thinking about the past or future that we miss what is happening at this moment. Practicing thankfulness can help keep us in the moment and help us trust in God for the future.
f we fail to bear and share the burdens of others, how can we call ourselves Christians? We really have to look out for one another. As we obediently help each other, we are fulfilling the Law of Christ––love.
It is the fellowship of the cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.
If you are feeling oppressed, pour out your heart to the Lord, submit to His plans for you, resist every impulse to stop praying, and stick close to Jesus and His Word.
Love is a powerful commodity. It cannot be destroyed, no matter what life throws at us. “Many waters cannot quench love,” says Song of Songs 8:7. Even if we had to withstand a natural disaster such as a typhoon or flood, “rivers cannot sweep [love] away.”
According to Song of Songs, love is not only durable, but it’s also priceless. It cannot be purchased, even for “all the wealth of one’s house” (Song of Songs 8:7). This is also good news in times of economic uncertainty. We may not know what’s going to happen to our jobs or in the world economy in the coming months. But we know that whatever happens, it can’t touch the reserves of love deposited in our family day after day.
Father, may we not be like the Israelites, who heard the message of hope but did not combine it with faith.
~A.W.Tozer~
We are a people............... WHO SERVE WITH HUMILITY: Who are One body and serve One God for the glory of One Savior, Jesus. We believe this Church is not built on the talents of a few but the gifts of many.
Romans 12:3-7
There is no darkness I can’t bring LIGHT to There is no defeat I can’t bring victory to No death I have not conquered with my resurrection. There is no emptiness I can not bring satisfaction with my own life.
What Jesus brings into our world is light, the vividness of victory, the brightness of belief in Jesus Christ, and in Him is the life we all need, Jesus, love you… Casey Kendall
If your understanding of the Gospel is: “I believe in God. Therefore, I can do whatever I want to.” You don’t understand the Gospel.
Jesus did not stop when He was betrayed in the garden, Jesus did not stop when they bound Him up when they brought Him in a false trial, Jesus did not stop when they ridiculed Him and beat His face to a pulp, Jesus did not stop when they would whip His back with a cat nine tail and rip His skin off, Jesus would not stop when He carried the cross up hill to the place where he would hang, Jesus would not stop when they put the nails in His hands and feet, Jesus would not stop when He took your sin and my sin upon himself, Jesus would not stop when they placed Him in a tomb for three days and nights, and Jesus did not stop when He rose to sit at the right hand of the father to make intercession for you and me. Jesus went all the way…
The resurrection is not just an event, the resurrection is a person. The person Jesus Christ.~Casey Kendall Stop thinking in the flesh and a human mindset and know the Spirit operates in another realm of thinking. How has the resurrection affected your life and how you live?
God’s delays are not always God’s Denials! Casey Kendall
Have you ever been so discouraged in your life, God is telling you to move forward and you just sit down and use saying to justify your discouragement?
Like well, when it’s God’s time or God’s timing is perfect so I will move when He tells me to.
My brothers and sisters, He has told you to in Phil.4:13.
Stop making excuses!
The problem is not will God Work; the problem is will you Surrender. Are you willing to Die to self?
There is no pit so great that Jesus Christ is not greater.” Corry Ten Boom~
People talk to me all the time about their faith. Most of the time I am encouraged, yet other times I am shocked at how off-course some people can get. How does it happen? I firmly believe in the necessity of personal devotion time -- praying, reading, and studying our Bibles. It's really the only way we can know if a doctrine we've heard is true or false.
Is it validated by Scripture? Even quotes need to be checked out. I do it When I am listening to my pastor. Write it down and check them out. My wife is a great note-taker and when I am serving I know she always has the jist of the message for me.
