Disciples of Jesus have more in common than not in common. They are one body.

…..

Talk to Him often.

…..

We know the Holy Spirit’s works by the focus on Jesus Christ.

“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:14)

…..

What we pray about shows what we really care about.

…..

Commented

At the Judgment Seat of Christ there will be no reward for having continuously posted pictures of yourself.

…..

The most powerful truth about Christian marriage is God makes you one.

“The two shall be one flesh”.

…..

If we’re not praying the basic truths and concepts outlined in the Lord’s Prayer, then what are we praying?

The Lord’s Prayer covers the full spectrum of man’s relationship to God, and God’s dealing with man: His Kingdom.This is how to pray.

…..

Everyone wants to be free, but many mistakenly want to be free from God.

…..

“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:11-12)

a. For love to grow cold it had to be there to begin with, so this is referring to Christians.

b. The overall effect or influence of false prophets produces lawlessness (loose living) in Christians, which in turn leads to them losing their love for the LORD.

It shows that false prophets preach a false gospel of cheap grace, whereby people think the grace and love of God will still apply to them if they are unrepentant or redefine what sin is so as to justify their chosen lifestyle.

“For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4)

…..

After we have been saved by Jesus Christ, it would be criminal to keep it a secret. We would have blood on our hands.

…..

Everything we think, say or do should be such that God sees it as worship of Him.

…..

How did Jesus “do church”?

Peter led the singing? Then John took up the offering? Then Jesus preached a 25 minute sermon?

…..

If we heed God’s word we are wise, and if we don’t, we’re fools. It’s that simple.

…..

Jesus is far more glorious than we can imagine, so don’t try and imagine what He looks like. If you do, it won’t be Him.

…..

If you don’t have the love of Christ, then do you even have a life?

Can you imagine this planet and this human race without the love of God? What would it be without His love?

…..

Once Jesus has justified a person by His own blood, then, as justification is now behind them, all there is is to live for His glory. And what a fantastic life that is.

…..

Don’t go advertising your body to the world, save it for your true companion, your true love, alone.

…..

Everybody has broken God’s law. Where He said, ‘You shall not!’, we defiantly replied, ‘We shall!’.

We are going to need His forgiveness, aren’t we?

…..

“Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.” (Luke 9:16-17)

Five loaves and two fishes were enough.

Whatever we have in our hand is enough for God to work with.

…..

“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 2:4a)

This is how the church started.

But is it how it is today?

…..

Worship in song is just one of many ways to worship God, and while it is wonderful, it’s not the most important vehicle of worship.

And regarding songs, it’s not the melody or accompaniment which is the most important part, it is the truth igniting in the heart which is.

Therefore, only those who love the truth can truly worship in song.

…..

Set apart to God means set apart to do His will.

…..

In a true revival, people get emotional.

In a fake revival, people work themselves up into an emotional state.

…..

In the Christian life, maturity means to become more like Jesus.

…..

Presunptuous “faith” gets ahead of God.

…..

Pretending that you agree with or respect someone’s religion in order to please them is fake.

It’s not real friendship.

…..

“Superficial religion will always be fashionable because it does not require self denial.”

— Spurgeon

…..

If you sought the LORD today, did you find Him?

If you turned your eyes upon the LORD Jesus today, did you see Him?

Anyone who seeks the LORD, on His terms, will find Him. This is the pervasive theme of the Word of God. Jesus calls.

…..

We should partake of the Lord’s Table often just out of gratitude.

…..

The Cross of Christ removes any ground for pride or boasting.

….

When TV preachers tell you the Gospel is the means to success they don’t tell you that most of the successful people in the world don’t believe the Gospel.

….

Jesus Christ is the only truly SELFLESS Man who ever lived.

….

It’s certainly true that if any Christian is preoccupied with things other than proclaiming Jesus Christ, then the devil has hijacked them.

Because I’m in Jesus Christ I’m already happy. I don’t do things to try and make myself happy, because I’m already happy. That said, this happiness can spring up at anytime. It’s always there. It’s called Joy.

…..

A basic human right is the right to hold moral values of right and wrong, and to express them if you so desire.

If authorities are against you for simply expressing your view that something or someone is wrong, or that anyone’s actions are immoral, then your human rights have been violated.

…..

Consider, that Jesus Christ will never let you down. He is the truest Friend there is.

…..

Watching the BBC and learned that the reason women have no rights in Afghanistan is because it is a “Conservative” country.

See the propaganda?

“Conservatives” subjugate women.

“Conservatives” are bad.

The unthinking person doesn’t stand a chance, they will be brainwashed.

…..

Heard today:

“We live in a time when people can’t tell fact from fiction”

…..

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow. Today is the future of former days. Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. How does it feel to be living in the future, or in the past?

…..

Whatever we believe about God and living our life it should reflect exactly what the Bible teaches.

…..

We can’t exactly think we love someone if we can’t be bothered to pray for them.

…..

Christian, God is preparing us for eternity with Him in His never-ending Kingdom. Every day we are being prepared by Him.

…..

Remember, there’s a wrath to come.

How will you escape it?

Any plans formulated?

….

Each person’s soul is of infinite value.

Wouldn’t it be an infinite tragedy if your soul was lost forever?

…..

Perhaps 90% of our prayer time should be praying for others by name.

….

What happens when we pray is too fantastic to describe. To think that Almighty God hears us and responds!

…..

If the person we’re praying for gets truly filled with the Holy Spirit then that’s all our prayers answered in one. We can’t hope for better than that. And they don’t need anything more than that, and they certainly need nothing less than that.

…..

Only those who have Christ’s righteousness imputed to them by faith can stand guiltless and blameless before a thrice holy God.

The perfect righteousness of His Son is the only righteousness acceptable to Him.

Read Romans chapter 4.

Man builds Christendom.

Christendom is an amalgam of true and false elements, all mixed together.

Christ builds His Kingdom.

Many in Christendom are also in the Kingdom.

They have the word of God in their hands.

They will grow to place the word of God as higher authority than the word of man.

And thus Christ builds His church, which is His body, not an organization.

….

The problems of society are, in essence, and at their root, spiritual problems.

…..

And Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)

If your life is not what you possess or have achieved, or any glory you receive from others, then, what does your life consist of?

…..

Jesus prayed in a garden. He prayed in the desert. He prayed on the grassy hills of Galilee – wherever He could get away from people and get alone.

…..

I’m glad Jesus is the judge, and not someone else.

…..

Believing in Jesus Christ also entails believing He has a plan and purpose for your life. Then, believing He has a plan and purpose for your life will entail believing in His providence and providential actions toward that end. So, we need to watch out for His providential actions toward that end and expect them.

….

When an ostrich sticks its head in the sand it is not doing it because it doesn’t believe or know there is danger, it does it because it mistakenly thinks if it denies the danger exists then it will be safe.

Its sticking its head in the sand is a reaction to the truth, not an ignorance of it.

All people know the truth, they just deny what they know:

“…suppressing the truth in unrighteousness…” (Rom.1:18)

….

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” (1 John 5:21)

An idol can be anything which takes the rightful place in our lives which belongs to the LORD alone.

God sees it as an exchange. We exchanged Him for something else. We replaced Him.

….

One of the vital elements of a life of worship is to be in utter awe of God.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)

“Mansions” means dwelling places: rooms, living spaces, houses or such like.

No doubt, a much better kind of house than we live in now.

….

“Religious”, in the negative sense of the word, means any spiritual activity disconnected from the reality of knowing Jesus Christ by faith.

In Christianity, there’s a whole bunch of stuff which would come under this term.

No one ever knows what a day will bring.

…..

Jacob had to be given a limp before his name could be changed to Israel.

…..

“Alaska Prophecy Cruise” ….

Oh no… prophecy cruise?? What a joke.

Too bad Jeremiah or John the Baptist aren’t here to join the cruise.

….

“….He whose heart is kind beyond all measure…”

  • old song.

…..

Worship the living God.

“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” (Rev. 14:7)

The mountains are His.

The rivers are His.

The galaxies are His.

LORD of the Universe.

LORD of Heaven and Earth.

Jesus Christ.

….

Have a robust faith because your faith is in Him, and He is faithful.

….

The LORD knows who His faithful ones are.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim. 4:7)

….

LORD Jesus, help us to understand how much you love us.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5:8)

….

Jesus is the truth, and His disciples simply bring this truth to others.

…..

The only authority on life after death is the Man who came back from the dead, never to die again.

This life is only temporary, but eternity stretches on forever.

So, what are you going to do?

….

The mainstream media is totally partisan. Fair and balanced reporting and commentary is nearly extinct. Each outlet serves a particular political agenda.

…..

Bad language is no longer bad.

….

To an avowed communist man I met: ‘So, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Chairman Mao and Pol Pot would be your heroes?’

….

As Christians, the world should become progressively empty and vain to us, because we are not of it, if we are growing in Christ, and with this declining interest in the things of the world, our interest in God and in people should replace it.

Faith is given to us to do His will, not our own.

When the law becomes political it’s no longer the law, it’s a joke.

….

“Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.“

— RC Sproul

The Bible says, the body without the spirit is dead, and in the same way, one’s spirit without the Holy Spirit is dead. Apart from the Holy Spirit everyone’s spirit is dead.

Dead in sin. Spiritual death is separation from God.

….

Who compares to Jesus Christ?

….

“Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness…”

(Psalm 112:4a)

….

How much is God involved in your life?

If the Holy Spirit is in you (and the Holy Spirit is indeed God) then we could say that God is very involved in your life.

…..

A money preacher said, ‘God will give you what you want, claim it!’.

I replied, ‘What if you’re covetous? Will God still give you what you want?’.

….

“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for ALL men…”

(1 Timothy 2:1)

This will keep us busy.

The present state of the world is exactly how the prophets said it would be in the last days prior to the return of the LORD Jesus Christ.

….

Whatever sin in others repulses, grieves or hurts us, we need to acknowledge that the same sin lurks within our own sin nature, somewhere deep in our heart, at least in some measure, as we all inherited a sin nature.

We have a sin nature, a natural bent to disobey and shun God, and this is why Jesus said, ‘You must be born again!’ …so He can give us a new nature, which is His nature.

See Galatians 5. Our sin nature is called “the flesh”.

…..

God created each one of us as a masterpiece, then we threw that priceless masterpiece into the sewer. This describes the state of man, and why we all need to become a new creation in Christ.

….

Christian, you might be far more blessed than you think or realize.

….

The creation should serve its Creator.

The beauty of nature is the beauty of its Creator.

….

His love is infinite.

..

It’s fair to say that when someone has false views of God, and heretical ideas about the truths of scripture, or a lifestyle which is not harmonious with Jesus of Nazareth, then, if they claim to have intimacy with God we need to ask, which God? And which Jesus? And which Spirit? And which Gospel?

….

Walking in the Spirit is predicated upon a person knowing the reality of the Holy Spirit indwelling them all the time, therefore, moment by moment it is this reality which governs their thoughts, words and actions. If their thoughts, words and actions, choices and decisions, are in harmony with the indwelling Holy Spirit, and they know His witness within them, having peace with what He is at peace with, and being disturbed by what disturbs Him, they live, moment by moment by this dynamic. And if they don’t, they know it and quickly repent.

…..

In any sphere of human life, society, or politics, if you raise the issue of morality, or right and wrong, you are, ultimately, referring to a spiritual concept.

….

What we think about God’s word is what we think about God.

….

Jesus saved me 35 years ago. For every moment of every day since then He has been real to me. I’m very happy He saved me. Very happy He changed my heart toward God, toward others, and toward my own sinful nature. Very happy to no longer fear death and Judgment Day. Very happy to have His assurance and promise that I will live with Him and His people forever.

….

The Thought Police are not interested in actual crimes.

…..

Surely, a person in whom Jesus Christ indwells will become likeminded with Him? They will certainly desire to be, with all their heart.

What do we need?

We need Him.

…..

The LORD’s Prayer has the guiding place in a disciple’s prayer life because the LORD said, when you pray, pray this way.

….

I don’t like anything to do with the devil.

How many people are there that the LORD takes pleasure in?
