Hold your anger
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (Ephesians 4:31) [Ref. reading: Ephesians 4:21-32]
Oh yes, I am convinced that the battle of the ages still rages. We must learn how to deal with our anger! Because, we need to understand that ANGER is one letter short of DANGER.
Dangerous anger made Cain kill Abel.
Dangerous anger made Saul lose his throne.
Dangerous anger made Moses smite the… Continue

The advantages of Standing Still
Today’s Scripture: As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn't we say to you in Egypt, 'Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians'? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians… Continue

If The World Hates You
Today’s Scripture: If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. (John 15:18-19)
Down thru history, Jesus has been proven right time and time again. Christians have died in the coliseum. They’ve been fed to the lions. Burnt at the stake. Sold into slavery. Or have had all… Continue

Be a christian if you can
Don't act like a Christian just be one! So many people that I see in this world saying that they love God and talk about those that do wrong also are doing the same thing in life, and they want to talk about people.
Matthew 23:34-40
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37… Continue

Have you reduced God to an expression?
This is a story of a little boy using God as an expression.
Some of this story actually happened and some didn't.
My son, Josiah, poked his head in the door and said, "Johnny's saying a bad word."
"What bad word?" I said.
"He keeps saying 'Oh my God.' and he won't stop."
"Tell him to stop saying it or he has to go home."
"I did but he won't stop."
I leaned out the door and said to… Continue

The right people need to be in office not the wrong people
1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be… Continue

Why Do I Feel Hurt, But still I am Blessed
The apostle Paul is the writer of the Corinthian books. As far as I am concerned He is the greatest convert that has ever lived but even in his life we find him suffering. In II Corinthians 11 we find Paul discussing some of his sufferings. In v 23-24 we see he is beat and faced death, he has been beaten three times with rods, stoned and left for dead and was shipwrecked spending a night and day in the deep. He has met perils of water, of robbers,… Continue

What a hell of a life, but we are still blessed.
7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry… Continue

Ask in Prayer
1 John 5:14, 15
If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him
There are several specific needs which we should consider as targets for prayer in spiritual warfare. One need relates to the condition of blindness which Satan has inflicted on unbelievers (1 Corinthians 4:3, 4). People cannot come to Christ unless their spiritual eyes are opened.… Continue

Don't have yourself judge to hell by judging others
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
39He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40A student… Continue

God our Father
The Parable of the Lost Son " Luke 15:11-15:32 "
11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he…

Heaven is a Remaining Place
Nothing you see on this physical earth is going to last…nothing will remain. We like to have nice things and we should enjoy them, but don’t get too attached…they are not permanent. In the end, all we have left is our soul! All we will have in eternity is the treasures we send ahead.
“Only 1 life…”

What happened to Death do us part?
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
If I speak in the tongues [1] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender…

Eve not Steve
Eve not Steve
God established marriage for the purpose of companionship. The word helper means ally or friend.
God knew that His creation would not usually function well on its own.
Ladies, I know that men are accused of being thickheaded. Here we might see God agreeing with that notion. Notice how God paraded the animals before Adam, each having its partner.
Adam realized there was no partner…

God the bank president of your life
God the bank president of your life
You may place your faith in gold but you cannot eat gold and gold can’t buy one minute of time; you may put your money in the world’s best bank only to loose all because the bank fails; you may place your trust in a tried and true friend only to be betrayed but when you entrust your soul to Jesus you are safe forever.
I have a funny story…

God's Mother's Day Card
God's Mother's day card
Why is it hard to preach a Mother's Day sermon?
BECAUSE … While Mother’s Day can be a very happy, joyous day … it can also be a very sad day … a day of pain & grief.
Not everybody looks forward to Mother’s Day.
o Maybe you have recently lost your mother … and you are experiencing the pain of your loss.
o Maybe you have lost a child … and your heart grieves on Mother’s Day.
o Maybe you are having difficulties with…

Not a good day but I am blessed in the Lord
How many of you ever have bad days? How many of you had one this week? How many of you are having one RIGHT NOW?
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in…

Tithing is between you and God
Tithing is between you and God
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be
food in mine house, and test me now herewith, saith the
Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of
heaven, and pour out for you a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
-Malachi 3: 10-
Tithing is one of God’s rules. Tithing is not a test to see how much money the church can raise,…

Is God's Holy Spirit within us?
Is God's Holy Spirit within us?
12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry,…
