The Whole Armor Of God

by

The Whole Armor Of God We are to put on the “Whole Armor of God”, And having done so – stand, As the forces of evil seek to destroy God’s work and perfect plan. We gird ourselves with the “Truth”- Christ Jesus – Lord of all; And as our minds are stayed on Him, We’re safe whatever befall. We put on the “Breastplate of Righteousness” As we face the daily fight, Shunning all the works of iniquity, Standing for what is right. Our feet are shod with the “Gospel of Peace” As we walk on the battle ground, Leaving footprints …

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Who Do You Say That I Am? Matthew 16:13-18 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for …

Luke 12:7 – But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12:7 – But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. I don’t know about tomorrow; I just live from day to day. I don’t borrow from its sunshine For its skies may turn to grey. I don’t worry o’er the future, For I know what Jesus said. And today I’ll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead. Many things about tomorrow I don’t seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand. Every step is getting …

Strangely Dim

by

Strangely Dim Hebrew 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Colossians 3:1-2 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. I’ve had all these plans piled up sky high A thousand dreams on hold And I don’t know …

So the Spirit says, “Come!” Let him who hears say, “Come!” Rev. 22:17

by

Revelation 21:6-7 (KJV) 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and omega is the last letter of the alphabet. In other words God is “the beginning and the end.” But God isn’t speaking about alphabets. He is speaking of reality. God is …

Things to Ponder

by

I think this is something we all face pretty much on a daily basis. We find ourselves doing and saying things out from ourselves and then we are tempted to think that God is displeased with us and has backed away. I have begun to see that this is unbelief. We still think that we are disappointing God when the flesh shows its ugly head. Actually He knows that we are capable of far worse than we think. But faith says, I may be as wrong as wrong can be, but Jesus Christ is my righteousness and my life. It …

Paying It Forward

by

Paying It Forward By Grant Phillips One of nicest things we can do as a Christian is to “pay it forward” when led to do so. Some call this “passing it on.” I was asked to address this issue by Matt, a brother in Christ. He asked if I might say a few words on this subject. There are many ways we can show this type of kindness and appreciation to others. Following are some ideas. Pay for someone’s meal without their knowledge. Give your seat to someone else on a crowded bus. Offer an honest compliment on a job …

Wait and Watch

by

Wait and Watch Job 2:10 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job’s response to his wife’s suggestion that he curse God and die is magnificent. “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks” (Job 2:10). Hats off to the old patriarch! In his weakened condition, sitting there in the misery of all those sores, not knowing if any of that would ever change, he …

Using a Wrong Approach

by

Genesis 3:1-8 3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto …
