Good morning. We have no need to get angry when God punishes us because we deserve it. Instead of making excuses we need to confess we’ve sinned and that God hasn’t forgiven us because we haven’t repented. How long do we think we can get away with sin and not have to answer to God? Be not deceived God is not mocked, whatever we sow we will also reap.

Lamentations 3:39-42
Why should the living complain
when punished for their sins?
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.

Good morning. God requires us to pay attention to everything. We have to pay attention to our surroundings and we have to pay attention to what people are saying. God wants us to be careful in this life that we don’t drift away from what we’ve been taught concerning the word of God and fall into the traps of false teachings. We know what the word of God says; so when someone is saying something concerning the word and it doesn’t line up, turn away from them because they are false teachers. Watch as well as pray.

Hebrews 2:1-3
So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?

Good morning. Going through trials don’t feel good at all, but once we realize we can’t handle them on our own and we turn them over to Jesus; we can see how we’re growing spiritually. Trials show us we can persevere. Trials show us we have patience because we have no choice but to be patient. Trials show us it’s not by our might or power, but it’s by God’s spirit. Trials help us to mature in the Lord. So stop complaining about what you’re going through and start rejoicing that God chose you to grow spiritually.

James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Good morning. We have a choice to make and we must choose wisely. Do we openly confess Jesus Christ or do we deny him in front of family and friends? For some people this is an easy answer, but to others this may be complicated. We all live different lives, but there is only one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. When we serve the true and living God the choice is simple; wherever we go we will proclaim the name of the Lord. We will not be closet Christians. No one will have to wonder do we love the Lord and serve him. Again I say; we have a choice to make and we must choose wisely.

Matthew 10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Good morning. We have to be careful what we say to God because it can be detrimental to us. When we tell God we’re going to do something we better do it. If we don’t make good on our word to God we’re worthless and God will deal with us. We have to think before we speak.

Ecclesiastes 5:4-5
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.

Good morning. It’s hard to see the miracles that Jesus has performed in our lives and keep quiet. His goodness towards us makes us want to sing, shout, holler, and throw up our hands. There are some who see us and wish we’d be quiet and not talk about the goodness of the Lord. If we ever cower to the crowd the Lord will have the rocks cry out. I don’t know about you, but I’m not looking for the crowds approval. Therefore, I’m going to shout it from the mountaintop HE REIGNS!!!

Luke 19:37-40
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

Good morning. Now is not the time to lose faith. Why live on earth and go through hell, confess Jesus only with our lips, don’t connect our faith with what we say we believe; then fail to enter into his rest. There is absolutely no need for us to miss heaven.

Hebrews 4:1-3
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, So I declared on oath in my anger, They shall never enter my rest.’” And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.

Good morning. The word of God requires participation. The only way we get better at things is to do them repetitiously. It’s not enough to just hear the word, we have to put it into action. How would we know if prayer works if we don’t pray? How would we know if God would open up a window and pour us out a blessing if we didn’t tithe? How would we know that God would give us peace with our enemies if we never tried to please him. The word of God works, we just have to be willing participants.

James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Good morning. Don’t blame God because we can’t keep our flesh under subjection to him. We have to want to live holy. Time out for saying; oops I sinned, oops it just happened, oops one thing led to another. God has given us a way of escape and when we find ourselves tempted we can call on him right away. We don’t have to go down the wrong path, we choose to go astray. We should know by now there’s power in the name of Jesus.

James 1:13-14
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

Good morning. When we come to God asking him for something, he wants us to come with confidence and assurance that we know who we are talking to. There is no need to doubt God. Besides, if we come to him doubting we won’t receive anything.

James 1:6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
