The Light of Christ.....

-
Luke 11: 33 No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar, nor under a peck-measure, but on the lampstand, in order that those who enter may see the light.  (NASB)

When we accepted Christ as our personal Savior, we put into action the power of the Holy Spirit.  God’s Word is open for discussion for all to grow into on a daily basis.  God is true to His Word and wants us as believers to experience Him as often as we open His Word.  But what do we do with what we learn?  Do we share it with others?  Do we have open discussions about it’s content?  Do we discuss biblical characters?  What do we bring into the light?  Do we discuss the Pastor’s message and look to grow deeper in Christ?  Do we discuss the Sunday School lesson we just had?  I know that these are many questions, but I guess the key point is, are we doing our share to light the path of those around us?  Try this, mention to your neighbor the Sunday School lesson you had this past Sunday, and then follow it up with an invitation to church this Sunday.  You never know, you may just be the invitation that God wants to use to open up and light the path of someone else.

Consider today’s verse and look for ways to grow in Christ through the learning of His holy word.

Let Christ be the light of your life that others may see Him in you!

Prayer:  Dear Lord Jesus, Guide me into the wisdom of Your Holy Word that I may become a lampstand showing the way to those who are in the dark and don't know You as their personal Savior.  Help me also to encourage others who do know You that their light my be encouraged to burn brighter.  May I also reflect You to my family that we all may grow closer in our walk with You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN!

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way, through His Word.

Have a GREAT Day!!

In Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
