ARE WE TRULY LOVING EACH OTHER AS THE WORD COMMANDS US?

AS I WALK DOWN THE STREETS HERE IN DENVER I SEE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE WORKING PEOPLE, THEY DON'T SMILE OR SAY ANYTHING.I SEE HOMELESS, YOUNG RUNAWAYS AND DRUG DEALERS GOING ABOUT THEIR DAYS WITH ANGER, LOSTNESS ABOUND ON THEIR FACES,WHY? NO LOVE? MAYBE. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH US? DOES THE LIFE OF THESE PEOPLE NOT MATTER OR IS IT THAT WE ARE AFRAID TO REALLY LOVE GOD'S WORD TO LOVE OTHERS ALSO.

Change Cannot Occur Without Your Cooperation

Change, while good, is not always an easy transition. Many of us want change but have a hard time making the necessary adjustments to make it possible.

Think about the caterpillar before its transition into a butterfly. It goes through a rigorous transformation called metamorphosis. During its larval stage it crawls on the ground to nourish on plant life until its pupa stage. When the larva is fully-grown, it stops feeding and begins drifting in quest for a suitable pupation site.… Continue

Part #2 ( Did You Miss It )

Praise The Lord, Thank You Holy Spirit, For The Overwhelming Responses That Came Back, Only 2 Missed It.

Internet Denominations, Is Simply Believer's Recruiting Other Believer;s ( Christians ) Not For Christian Discussions Groups Or For The Sake Of Fellowshipping With One Another, But For The Sake Of Having A Title Other Than Your Gifted Title.

up date on "why church folk act like broke folks"

after reading the many replys on "why church folks act like broke folks" i thought it important enough to take my thought deeper as to develop a richer understanding of the text.

Preaching my brothers and sisters is a learnt place ( if you will ) full of wisdom, power, understanding and knowledge.

listen to the words of Paul to Timothy (2 Timothy 3:15)

And that from a child thou (you) have known the holy

scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto… Continue

Learn To Share With Nonbelievers

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20 NIV). Yes, we will all be held accountable. Failing to believe or acknowledge God will leave many atheists without an excuse before a Holy God.

Atheism is defined as "not… Continue

The Stock Boy & the Checkout Girl

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org

In a supermarket, Kurtis, the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and he wanted to get some fresh air. So he decided to answer the call. As he approached the checkout stand, a distant smile caught his eye. “The new checkout girl is beautiful,” he thought to himself. She was an older… Continue

Take advantage of prayer.‏

There is more to prayer than just asking for and receiving things from God. The apostles in the early church knew what prayer could do in their lives and ministry, that was why they resolved with all determination, "…We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word" (Acts 6:4). And every time they prayed, something happened. When you know what you stand to gain, not only will you be motivated to pray continually, every prayer exercise you engage in will bring you… Continue

On prayer 2

Prayer is one of the greatest assets of the redeemed. It is our communication link with God, our heavenly Father. Unfortunately, however, many are either not taking advantage of the privilege or they approach it wrongly. No wonder you hear them say, "I have exhausted prayer, yet there is no breakthrough." James 4:2-3 tells us the reason for their failure:

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Ye… Continue

On prayer.

And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And He said unto them, when ye pray, say... Luke 11:1-2

Prayer is one of the most important rights God has given His children. Prayer is the breath of the regenerated spirit. Its very importance demands that we know how to go about it. For, except we know how to pray in the God-given way, we can be certain that we… Continue

Your calling,your business.

Ministry is described as business by Christ.

Giving it a business approach is the only way to escape reproach of failure that has become the trade mark of many.Business is about been serious minded, i.e. facing your calling with all sense of commitment.

Life is a personal race. Your calling is personal.Your assignment is personal. Therefore, maintain focus.

Never be over burdened by the happenings around you whether in individuals or in any organization.Your… Continue

Renew your strength.

I believe one of the reasons God made day and night is not only for demarcation but also for the purpose of renewal, because at the end of each day, we rest, get refreshed and renewed to continue the race.So, there is a continuous process of renewal on a daily basis. Almost everything in life is made to require renewal from time to time.Whatever you use without renewal will soon get exhausted or extinguished, and this applies to our spiritual lives.

Often times we talk of… Continue

Change

Change is something ever human will experience if God had blessed you enough to live that long. As today when I watch President Elect Barack Obama, I was brought to tears and after I heard his speech I said to me son," That's a bad man and you can be anything you want to be. History was made today, in many ways, a black President, a black man singing the national anthem and people from all races coming together to revel in this moment. Thoughts are racing through my mind, because I know that so… Continue

Its Whats Good For You And I (Jesus)

As children our parents would tell us what was good for us and what was bad for us. They would say things like eat your vegetables, drink your seven glasses of water, study and finish school. It was their job to prepare us for the outside world and give us the proper training needed to survive in the outside world. They made sure we ate three times a day,made sure we did our homework, made sure we got our proper amount of sleep, church on Sundays and taught us other valuable things about life.… Continue

You Are Always Welcome In Gods House

This journal, I write with an heavy heart,because one of the members said to me that she did not feel clean enough to be in the house of God. She said that she used to be a member of the church, until she came home one day and found he husband in bed with another woman and she felt un-clean because of her experience. Well the only thing I could say when I read her note was wow! She felt un-clean? Its wasn't her that sinned, it was her husband. So I had to get a better understanding of why she… Continue

From His Tail to His Snout

From His Tail to His Snout

Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14

Psalm 84:11

Do you think, brother, that in God's great plan

When He was prescribing the best food for man

That He made a mistake in leaving the swine out

For was he not good from his tail to his snout?

1 Cor. 3:17

Oh, the carcass of an old dead horse or a cow

Don't get too rotten for a dirty old sow;

Though we holler a lot about boils and gout,

We eat… Continue

What Fragrance Do You Possess?

Last year, I had the pleasure of visiting several homes for the Annual Rose Tour in Whitewright. I was awestruck by the diversity of each garden as we went from house to house.

I saw backyards filled with roses, irises, birdhouses, ponds, and many other gorgeous bouquets of plant life. The flowers generated an amazing ambiance that perfumed the air with pleasant aromas. I saw and smelled honey suckles for the first time and had the pleasure of tasting one too.

What struck… Continue
