Salvation at Home

-
Luke 19: 9 “Today salvation has come to this house.”  (HCSB)

This verse is the end result of Jesus’ visit with Zacchaeus the tax collector.  What is the end result of Jesus’ visit at your home?  If you are a believer in Christ, then Jesus visits your home every time you are there.  Has salvation come to your home today?  It is available to all those who come in contact with you because as a believer Jesus resides in you through the Holy Spirit.  And through you, God is able to lead the unsaved to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  So what is holding you back?  Do you consciously represent Christ in your home in ALL you do?  If this is not happening in your home, ask God to change you that you may be able to more reflect the heart of Christ to others in every step you take and every move you make.  If you are not living as Christ would have you live and you are one person at work and a different person at home then it’s time to talk to God and reconcile these issues to yourself concerning your sense of dedication to Jesus Christ.  Through Christ you can have the courage to represent Christ in ALL you say and do.  This doesn’t mean beating people over the head with a Bible, but it does mean making a conscious effort to represent Christ to others in every step you take.

Accept Christ and all that He has done for you.  His love and grace will be your supply as you take Him to the lost and dying world outside your doorstep as well as inside your home to your loved ones.

Prayer:  Dear Jesus, help me to accept your courage to bring you into my home that my family may see more of you and less of me.  May I represent you to this lost and dying world that others may see Jesus in me in all that I say and do.  In Jesus’ name, Amen!    

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

Your servant 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 ...
