Believers, as you go to the house of worship this morning, pray for lost souls who may be in attendance. Pray that the Spirit of God draws them to Himself. #SundaySentiments

You may not "believe" in God, but one day you will stand before Him. #FridayFact

When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it LORD that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God, All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood. 🎶 🎶 🎶

An elderly gentleman who just came into my office told me that behind every good man there is a BETTER woman. He said God made man out of dirt, and woman out of prime rib....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another one of Paul’s prayers with a praise along with it: ”For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.“ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬, ‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.3.14-21.NKJV

”Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.1.1-2.NKJV Focus mainly on Jesus, not all the things in the world. Spend way more time in God’s word, and less on CNN, Fox News, BBC, NPR, and other news outlets. Listen more to God’s word and less to politicans and unsaved celebrities. Allow God’s word to renew you mind and revive your soul.

Another of the Apostle Paul’s prayers: ”And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/php.1.9-11.NKJV

”For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭ We believe the church of Jesus Christ needs to present the gospel to Jewish folks that they maybe saved. Like the early church did. And we reject false conspiracy theories against Jewish folks spread by white supremacists and Muslims.

Another of the Apostle Paul’s prayers: “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.“ ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/col.1.9-12.NKJV

Colossians 1:8-9 ...since the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the LORD, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and multiplying in the full knowledge of God...

Paul was a man of prayer. It would be good to read, note, and even study the prayers which the apostle prayed for the churches he wrote to. Better still, for us to pray those kinds of prayers for our churches, and for believers in other churches that we know of. I am starting a series posting Paul’s prayers. Here is the first one l am going to post today. ”Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.“ ‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/2th.1.11-12.NKJV

The way to exultation is always through humiliation. If that principle was true for the Son of God, how much more is it true for His followers? ~John MacArthur

The Word of God confronts sin and brings conviction. #SundaySentiments

Ecclesiastes 7:14 In the day when there is good be of good cheer, But in the day when there is evil see— God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not find out anything that will be after him.

Happy LORD's Day! As you go to the house of God to hear the Word of God preached by the man of God, may the Spirit of God find good ground. #SundaySentiments

I read the following scriptures earlier this week. Got news this morning that a young woman who is Facebook friends with me just lost her mother to cancer. It was clear to me that l needed to share these scriptures with her. Hope you are encouraged as well. ”But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 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.“ ‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/1th.4.13-18.NKJV

God's Word is as good as He is. There is an old saying that a man is as good as his word. Well, God is as good as His Word. His character is behind what He has said. ~J. Vernon McGee

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Joel 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD...

God wants to hear from His children. #Pray #FridayFact

”And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.10.28.NKJV “It is profoundly satisfying to the believer that in the last resort, what matters is not his feeble hold on God, but God’s strong grip on him.” Leon Morris

Malachi 2:10. 10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
