Everything derives its meaning by Jesus Christ.
He is the Chief Cornerstone.
Everything is measured by Him.
And in relation to Him.
……
God decides what is right and wrong.
Are we happy with Him deciding that?
…..
The “something that is coming” is the Book of Revelation.
…….
Physical beauty is only temporary.
Seek the beauty of holiness. The beauty of Christlike character.
Inner beauty is real beauty.
Wouldn’t you rather be appreciated for who you are on the inside than by something skin deep and temporary?
……
Jesus’ reign has no end.
……
God made you for Himself, to be His son or daughter.
But something went wrong, didn’t it?
This is where Jesus comes in.
……
Christianity is based on simple principles concerning:
- Who Jesus Christ is.
- What He has done for man through His death and resurrection.
- What He has promised.
- What He has taught and commanded.
……
Man has always preferred to create his own “god” of convenience, a reflection of himself.
……
May our deepest innermost convictions be lived out boldly and unapologetically in our lives.
……
Have you been born again? Are you saved?
If so, the Holy Spirit is in you to help you live for God today. He is no less than God, Himself.
You are not alone. He is in you to instruct and guide you in the truth of God’s word.
Listen to Him. Do as He says. Don’t grieve Him or ignore Him.
No matter how tough it gets, He will show you the way, if you believe He will.
……
Someone was saying the Kingdom of God will take over the world.
Its true the Kingdom is among those who believe, and we are a Kingdom of priests, submitted to the King, subjects of His Kingdom.
However, this present spiritual Kingdom is going to be soon taken from the earth:
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
Only after the wrath of God is poured out on the earth shall Christ’s kingdom be physically established over all the earth.
……
Consider, most people are going to hell, or have gone to hell, and God never stopped loving them.
……
A Biblical definition of FAITH means believing from the heart.
The unrepentant DO NOT believe from their heart.
Jesus said MANY will come saying, Lord! Lord! and He will say He never knew them.
They thought they had faith, didn’t they? Because they called Jesus as their Lord.
But they were unrepentant.
So they didn’t have legitimate faith.
……
“Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
1 Peter 5:9
We are reminded to be mindful that MANY of our brothers and sisters in every country are going through the same trials we are, or worse, or much worse.
The encouragement for us here lies in the fact that God is bringing so many people through trials victorious, so why should we be any different?
……
There are millions of people who believe in Jesus, and love and serve Him.
They’re found all over the world in every nation.
But you might not be aware of this if you depend on the main stream media for your information and your understanding of reality.
…….
If we learn to control ourselves, then we’ll have no desire to control others.
