2Ti 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

You don't have to polish, or refine the Word of God in any way. In fact you cannot do anything to make the Word more pure or precious than it is.

May 6 2018

2Pe 1:20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation.

2Pe 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The Word of God is just that, The word of GOD! None of the bible was ever produced by the will of man, not one dot or tittle. It is all from God.

May 5 2018

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

Psa 1:2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Psa 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

In order to NOT walk in the counsel of the wicked, Delight in the law of the LORD.

And if you don't want to stand in the way of sinners or sit in the scoffers seat, meditate day and night on the law of the LORD.

May 4 2018

Psa 119:97 Mem. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.

Psa 119:98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me.

Psa 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.

Psa 119:100 I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.

Psa 119:101 I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.

Psa 119:102 I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me.

Psa 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psa 119:104 Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

The Word of God speaks for it's self! And makes you wiser than your enemies, and it will lead you away form the false way.

Take time to read the Word everyday!

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

ALL Scripture! I want us to know that ALL not just the parts I like. Not even just the parts that make me feel good about me, but all!

Shall we do it again?

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Heb 4:13  And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

I think it is important for me to share with you some of the word of our God. I know that you are capable to read it on your own and I'm sure you do.

This is what I am thinking this evening. The word is powerful and it is alive, it will direct you better than your heart. Don't follow your heart unless your heart is following hard after the Word, let the Word be your guide.  Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 

I am going to, with the help of God, start doing this again. You will be praying that it will be of help to you and to me.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet

2Ti 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

2Ti 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

2Ti 4:4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

The only way you can share, or preach, the Word is to know the word. The only to know the Word is to read the Word.

The more people hear words that suit their own passions, the more they turn away from the truth.

Thanks for bring here.

God loves us more than we know!

6/22/15

Joh 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Eph 3:21  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Rom 8:38  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

Rom 8:39  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

WOW! Love that strong has to give you comfort, if it does not give you comfort, then you need to pray that God would help your unbelief, because you don’t believe it.

God loves us more than we know!

6/9/15

Rom 15:13  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Just a couple of meanings of the word “abound”

Isa 40:28  Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Isa 40:29  He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Isa 40:30  Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;

Isa 40:31  but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

1Co 4:7  For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

I guess that a “good Christian”  would give all the glory to God, and rightly so because, “What do you have that you did not receive?”

God's word, 5/30/15

5/30/15

Joh 3:27  John answered, "A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.

You know that I teach that you are responsible! And that God is sovereign! So knowing that do the best you can with the day you have before you and always know that you cannot receive even one thing unless it is given you from heaven. Even maturity in your walk with Him.

God's word, 5/29/15

5/29/15

Php 2:12  Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

Php 2:13  for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Do all that you can to do the right thing, and don’t be worried about your failings because, “it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”

God's word, 5/28/15

5/28/15

Heb 6:1  Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Heb 6:2  and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

Heb 6:3  And this we will do if God permits.

In a lot of conversations we hear someone use the term, “a good Christian.” What exactly does that mean? I know that some people do “look” like good Christians by the way we see their lives, but the real maturity in a Christian is up to God, not our works. Right? “And this we will do if God permits.”
