Psalms 71:7-8 My life is an example to many because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. We cannot afford to speak only of the difficulties, trials and temptations we face. Even some who do not speak out show it in their expression and attitude. We ought to learn to testify of His goodness. How Our attitude. Psalm 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. For those who receive good also give out good. Those who receive evil are expected to also show forth its attitude. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. We show forth the character that displays the home we come from. Thus if we have been reborn, gotten the new birth, we testify of the heavenly. There is no excuse, we live in times wh...

John 18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. In man, one cannot put absolute trust, for man is fallible. It was recorded concerning Jesus that: John 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men], We cannot delete betrayal from the world, it has been, it is and will still be after we have left. However we must not be the culprit! Jesus warned: Matthew 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Selah God does not pally with those who are truce breakers. For they displease him. They may think they are smart or have taken advantage, some may be out of fear. Whatever it is, it is a show of the lack of love. Remember, there are tears the Lord will not overlook. Have you been betrayed?... Forgive Have you betrayed another? Seek forgiveness and make amends. May we never be counted as sons of perdition. ...

1 John 4:7-8 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. All of God's commandments are summed up in love. Timothy 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, While writing to Timothy, Paul instructed him that the whole essence of the instruction was Love. All begins and will end in love. You do what you do actually because of love. Every action we take is a product of love of one thing or the other. That is why we are instructed: 1John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. Of course if you love the world all your actions will be limited to please the ...

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. The enemy's plan from the beginning was to disconnect us from the Heavenly Father. Psalms 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. He knew that if man fell like he did, he could dominate man and rule over him. Genesis 3:13  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. That was the plan of the enemy, by deceit to separate man from God. The enemy's ultimate goal is to disconnect man from God. In the garden of Eden he lied to man,  he said,   "you will not die. . ." but of course man died,  he grew old and died physically but most importantly he began to get separated from God. However God always has the master plan. That which was meant for evil, God converts to good. Romans 5:15 But not as ...

Job 36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: Yes we cannot take for granted the little things we do that add up to make the whole.  For all we are now is a collection of all the "littles" we have been doing.  They collectively come together to form what we are today. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things that matter in this life are a collection of little things we do. Nothing should be taken lightly. For when we think it doesn't matter, it could become a "subject matter". A great rock can be brought down by continually chopping off small pieces. Let us keep making those little drops of: * discipline * routines * efforts * readings/study * praye...

1Corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. It is fear that would lead anyone to pursue worship of a deity symbolized by human hands. It is easy to say for those of us who were born into christian homes. It may not be that simple for those who were born into families where idol/graven image worship was acceptable. In Isaiah 43, God shows how stupid it is to worship graven images: Isaiah 44:9-20 How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don’t know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god— an idol that cannot help him one bit? All who worship idols will be disgraced along with all these craftsmen—mere humans— who claim they can make a god. They may all stand together, but they will stand in terror and shame. The blacksmith stands at his forge to make a sharp tool, pounding and shaping it with all his might. His work makes him hungry and weak. It makes him t...
