Don't Be Tossed To and Fro

Go Out and Share the Gospel

Luke 14:23- Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

 

Showing Compassion for Others

Many times the Bible tells us that Jesus showed people compassion.  He had compassion for those that were hungry, those that had lost loved ones, and those that were alone.  Luke 7:13 tells us how Jesus had compassion for a woman who had lost her son, "And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not."

We should show compassion or love for others like Jesus did.  Compassion is sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.  To show compassion we must show kindness, love, mercy, tenderness, leniency, empathy, mercy, pity, and concern for others.

Don't Be Afraid to Stand Against Evil

Giving of Thanks

 

Let us all give God thanks for all that he has done for us, especially during this Thanksgiving holiday season.  1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 

Psalm 92:1 says,  It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

Psalm 118:29 says,  O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

 

Be Ye Thankful

Ephesians 5:20- Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

A Christian should always be thankful for things God has given him; life, family, church, job, friends, salvation and his health. 

Building Upon a Strong Foundation

Christ the Solid Rock

1 Corinthians 3:11 says, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

Build upon a strong foundation which is Jesus Christ the Lord.  Christ is the only foundation that you can build upon to get you to Heaven. If you are trying to build wealth and riches upon this earth than you are building a foundation upon the sand. Start building your firm foundation upon the rock, which is Jesus Christ.

Who is God

I have received questions lately from those who don't know God.  I want to give a simple explanation about God.
God is the creator of everything from the sun and moon to man and woman. Who is man to God? Why does he care anything about us?  God is all-powerful, all-knowing, loving, righteous, holy and eternal.  His home is in Heaven and he created all the world, man, woman, stars, sun and moon. He hates sin and anything corrupt, such as: hate, liars, thieves, murderers, all evil, which is sin.  He wants everyone to love him because he created everyone.  To go to Heaven and live with him, we must turn from sin and accept his son, Jesus Christ.  If we deny him and his son, we will not go to Heaven.  It is that simple.  Accept Jesus, turn from sin and you can see God, when you die.

Poem: The Creation

On the first day, God created the day and night.
God said it was good, because he created the light.
On the second day, God created Heaven up above,
He created all of this because of his love.
On the third day, God made the dry land and the seas.
Then he made the grass and the fruit trees.
On the fourth day, he made in Heaven a shining light,
one to rule the day, and one to rule the night.
On the fifth day, he made the fish, and fowl to fly in the air.
On the sixth day, he made the cattle, lion, tiger and bear.
Then he made, in his image, male and female.
On the seventh day, he said all is good and well.

The Lord's Servant

We marched those streets, day by day,

searching for the brokenhearted,

not for recognition or pay.

Winning the lost was our goal.

We gave up our time and energy, with no rest,

away from family and friends.

Trying to succeed in God’s work and no less,

happiness beyond belief.

Someone has cancer in our town,

Death has occurred to another.

Sorrow filled our faces with a frown,

Compassion filled our hearts.

Devoting our time for others,

Praying souls would be saved.

Crying over the denial of others,

Seeking the Lord to come at last.

In Heaven, happiness filled our hearts,

Finally graduation was upon our class.

For Jesus called his bride home.

All was at ease, at last. 

The Other Side

This earth is where I reside,
but Heaven will be where I abide.
I am passing through to the other side.
Teaching others and being their guide,
Saints will enter Heaven when they’ve died,
If they are loving and repent when they have lied.
On our journey, Jesus will be one day be by our side,
Heaven will rejoice and the gates will be opened wide.
Love unending, joy fulfilling, peace indwelling, teary eyed.
Jesus will be standing there and we will always be at his side.
No more pain, sorrow or hurt, no more boasting, no more pride.
The Lord will gather the church, and usher it forth as a chosen bride.
