WORSHIP GOD LOVES!

Monday, January 14th, 2013

The Bible is full of a richness that never fails to capture the imagination and fill up our minds with pure wisdom. It is fascinating! Many, even many aged Christians, wonder why some Christians can be so thrilled with the richness of Scripture. Could it be a lack of Bible Study themselves? Could it be that they are satisfied with a weekly service and nothing more? A love for the Scripture can only be realized when one decides to apply themselves to know more – better everything they can know – of Jehovah the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit who guides and illuminates us. Knowing a little is helpful but can leave your vision of Him skewed and your relationship humdrum.

But to know Him deeper each day is to soar like an eagle and alight upon the golden meadows of bounty. For instance there was a time before the Northern Kingdom of Israel had fully been scattered to the nations that they were given a chance to know more about the goodness of God and how in turning to Him, He could heal their lands, their activities could prosper, and their children could be blessed. The choice was before them to either take up his words or walk away.

SPARTANS, SOLDIERS AND DEFEATING STRONGHOLDS

Monday, September 5th, 2011

If you were accused of being a Christian, would you be found completely guilty?! Watch this clip from the movie 300. It is less than 2 minutes long but the message therein, says a lot about who we are as men and women of God in the middle of the biggest battle of all time.


You have seen the clip. Now, ask yourself, are you a SPARTAN (A Warrior, a Soldier) or do you describe yourself by what you do for a living? The world defines you by your occupation. For instance, you’re an electrician; a receptionist; a teacher; a mom; a cab driver or roofer. You could be a banker; a real estate agent or a youth pastor. This is how almost EVERYONE I know thinks of themselves.

No one I know calls themselves a Soldier, except those of us, in daily combat with the world 24/7/365 trying to steer the ship of Family, Faith and Fellowship through the narrow straits. For most of last week, we took an in-depth look at almost every word of Ephesians 6:12 to recognize what we are up against as Biblical Christians.
