Good morning. People have been so anxious to get back to business as usual that they haven’t even heeded God’s warning. What is it going to take for us to be concerned about our souls? We can’t afford to just live for the moment. We are living this life to live again, whether it be in heaven or hell. As we look at the world’s reaction to stay-at-home-orders, social distancing, and states re-opening; we find people crowding beaches and restaurants, parks being jammed packed, etc., We find that no one wants to hear the warning, we just want to keep on living any kind of way. We are provoking God and it’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Jeremiah 18:11-12
“Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem. Say to them, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am planning disaster for you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.’” But the people replied, “Don’t waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires.”

Good morning. There is no justification for sin. No matter what we say or do God knows we know better. There’s a price to pay for our sins and God will collect. We don’t have no excuse!

Proverbs 24:12
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.

Good morning. We can think we’re right in what we’re doing all day long, but it’s God that knows the intentions of our heart. We can be right, but our motives can be wrong. We can be right, but with a wicked heart what does it matter? We love to say God knows my heart, and he does; and he will deal with our hearts accordingly.

Proverbs 21:2
People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart.

Good morning. No matter how strong in the faith we are Satan will still try to tempt us. Our weaknesses and temptations are no different than anyone else. No matter how strong the temptation is, God has given all of us a way of escape. Therefore, we shouldn’t have the testimony that things just happened and the Lord knows my heart. That testimony can land us in hell.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Good morning. Sometimes do we think we’re all that and a bag of chips? Do we get so high-minded because of the stuff we have, the titles we hold, the organizations we belong to, the jobs we have, etc.,? Before we start acting like we’re all that, we need to examine ourselves closely and see if we measure up to the faith that God has given us. Many of us will find that we need to come down off our high-horse and humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.

Romans 12:3
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.

Good morning. We must ask God for wisdom in how to deal with certain people. We need to show compassion when we’re dealing with believers who are wavering in their faith. We need to remind them that God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Then there are those people we can’t afford to sugarcoat the gospel, we can’t beat around the bush, we have to literally snatch them out of the fire. We have to let them know their souls are in jeopardy of living in eternal damnation.

Jude 1:22-23
And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

Good morning. We are not going to always agree with each other, but we should always love one another. How can we say we’re children of God and then say we hate other believers because we don’t agree with them? To hate other believers, is to walk in darkness. We need to do a heart check and make sure we are not fooling ourselves.

1 John 2:11
But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.

Good morning. God wants to pardon us. He wants to drop all the charges against us. All we have to do is take the deal. The deal is we confess our sins, and he’s just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness. Now that’s a deal!

1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness

Good morning. Sometimes when we are doing good deeds we may feel as though it goes unnoticed and we become weary in well doing. Hold your head up high, our father in heaven sees all that you do, how hard you work, and he is not unjust to forget about you.

Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Good morning. It’s great to know that those of us that are saved are in the safety of the Lord. We look forward to the day that we can hear; well done thy good and faithful servant. We know that one day Jesus will return but we shouldn’t rush his return. We have family members, friends, co-workers, bosses, church members, etc., that are not saved. And the longer Jesus takes to return, gives them time to repent and be saved.

2 Peter 3:15
And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him—
