Emotions
Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.Psalm 19:13-14 How do emotions impact a marriage, life, and relationships? Emotions are God’s gift to enrich life. Both positive and negative emotions should point us to God. Some Christians have come to distrust emotions…
Fear Not!
Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:6 What are you afraid of? Your children getting kidnapped? A stock market crash? Public speaking? Spiders? Snakes? Bedbugs? The dentist? Heights? Failure? Flying? Rejection? Crowds? Darkness? Job loss? Illness? Affliction? Old age? Death? Whether our fears are triggered by creepy crawly creatures, being shut up…
Being A Godly Hero & Heroine.
TO READ: – 2 Timothy 1:1-14 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So you must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the proclamation of the Good News.2 Timothy 1:6-8…
Forgiveness
READ LUKE 6:27-36 As we set out to mend relationships, there may be some things that are beyond our control. Some people may refuse to be reconciled, even when we do our best to make amends. This may leave us feeling like victims. Once again we are stuck with the pain of unresolved issues. We may be left with negative feelings that continue to surface. What can we do to gain control in these situations? Jesus said, “But to you…
Healing the wounds of the past
BIBLE READING: Genesis 33:1-11 “We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others”. This is one of the ” Steps” in the AA fellowship which is a Life Changing Experience and Principle for anyone who desires to be free from the pain and hurt of wrong done to another human. You see Sin are committed in three Folds – Against God and His Nature – Against Others and Against Self.…
His Resurrection
1 Corinthians 6:14 Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross to save us. This is the sad part of the story. But the entire basis of our faith—the reason for our hope and the joy in our salvation—lies in this: Without the Resurrection there is no Christianity. Without the Resurrection there is no forgiveness of sin. Without the Resurrection our Gospel is untrue. Jesus didn’t stay dead. He didn’t stay buried. Jesus rose from the dead. This is…
The power of belief
Romans 1:18-20 Saying that we “came to believe” suggests a process. That begins with acknowledging of need and a desire to be open to something different from what we know. Belief is the result of consideration, doubt, reasoning, and concluding. The ability to form beliefs is part of what it means to be made in God’s image. It involves emotion and logic. It leads to action. What, then, is the process that leads us to solid belief and changes our…
Be committed to serve
Read Luke 7:1–9:50 Luke 9:18-21, 23-25 18One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” 19“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.” 20Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Peter replied, “You are the Messiah sent from God!” 21Jesus warned his…
Peace is God’s will for your life.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. It’s fine, you might say, to tell me not to worry, but how exactly do I do that? Here’s how one woman handled the struggle when her teenager was going…
Trust NOT the flesh; Trust the Holy Spirit
Psalm 141:1-4 (NLT) O Lord, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help! . . . Take control of what I say, O Lord, and keep my lips sealed. Don’t let me lust for evil things; don’t let me participate in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do evil. In this Psalm David not only called on the Lord for protection from the enemies that were…
Our lifestyle honors the Lordship of Christ, our Lord.
The Lordship of Christ is the centrality of the Scriptures, and to this testament we hold true. Christ as Lord is not just what we say, it must be that which governs how we believe and live our lives. As Lord, Christ is supreme over all and His purposes must be the focus of our lives as we journey through life here on the earth. To His Lordship the Church has been called to be witnesses both in lifestyle and…
Our actions reveals the true nature of Love
1 John 3:18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Falling in love is a temporary experience. It is not premeditated; it simply happens in the normal context of male-female relationships. What many people do not know is that it is always temporary. The average life span for being “in love” is two years, probably some change to ” The Emotional Experience of Falling in love. The “in…
