PAUL'S WISHES

 

      Paul had many wishes and desire for the church of then and now.  As he was called so are we.  God wants to bless us with all spiritual blessings.  We have been given a heavenly home.  Think about that.  We have been called his children.  God wants us to live in abundance.  He has made the mystery of Christ known to us and we are to tell others.  He wants us to be a family with others.  He wants us to walk in unity, love, acceptance and forgiveness. 

     We only have one life to live.  We are to bring hope, peace and love to our world.  Back in 1969, Dionne Warwick sand a song about how the world needs love.  Our world needs that today.  With wars raging in Ukraine and Iran the world needs love and the message of Christ.  Let us who it by our example and love.

WISDOM

 

     When God says He is going to do something, faith says, “I believe it”, and yes with a big exclamation point.  If you do not trust God, you will find yourself like the nation of Israel wandering around in a desert place for years.  Get out of your wilderness and desert by following Crist to the promised land.  Leave the dark by placing your life in the Light of the world.  If you want your promised land you will have to fight for it like Joshua did.  The greatest joy in your salvation is to lead another to it. The highest honor in salvation is seeing others walk in salvation and truth.  If you want to disperse your doubts and fear look to Jesus, the author and finishers of your faith.  If you want to increase your fear and doubts look to yourself and trust your own resources.  Many talk about heaven as if it is a matter of speculation but the Bible says it is true and an established fact.

TRUTH ABOUT JESUS

     So why did Jesus allow his body to be broken and his blood to be shed.  He did it because we could not save ourselves.  He who knew no sin became sin for us.  He did it because we were lost in sin and death.  He became our substitute because our sin has separated us from God.  He bore our iniquities and the burden of humanity.  He did it so we could live an eternal and abundant life. 

     There is an old song that says, “He paid a debt he did not owe; I owe a debt I could pay.”  Jesus suffered and died for people so we would not have too.  Sin is an eternal problem and a mam made problem so only the eternal man could be the right substitute

     Jesus chose the time and place of his death.  He gave His life willingly.  His sacrifice was an act of love.  He still loves us and wants us to carry His message to the world by what we say and how we live.  Jesus is the central object of Christianity.  He is the reason for our faith.  Let us live is well and tell others while there is still time

 

THANKS MOM

     A little boy one time on TV said thank you mommy.  We should be thankful for mothers.  They do a great job and also are the backbone of the home.  The internet is full of great stories of mothers who are incredible.  So is the Bible.  Moses’ mother hid him from the decree of Pharoah.  Samuel’s mother dedicated him to the Lord.  Mary the mother of Jesus was a great woman of faith and had the privilege of raising the savior. 

     A mother has the role of correcting children when necessary.  Instruct in the practical living and in the things of the Lord.  Mothers are to show they children how to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. 

     Mothers set the example in honoring their husbands.  Leading in the home.  To be not gossips but speak good things to others.  To teach, train, nurture, control, and love.  In the same way husbands are to stay with their wives until death.  Love their wives, honor them and protect them. 

Mothers are female parents who nurture, care for, and raise children, representing a foundational role in families and societies across the world.  Thank you for who you are and what you have done.  

THE PROPER ATTITUDE

 

Sept 25 – The Proper Attitude - Isaiah 58:13-19

 

     The nation of Judah had forgotten the importance of the Sabbath, so Isaiah reminds them.  Don’t break the sabbath by what you do.  The Sabbath is a delight and the Lord’s Day is honorable.  It is not for us to do as we please.  It is honored by not doing as one pleases or speaking idle words.  It is a time of rest, reflection, and worship.  It is a time for worship, the word, and prayer.  It is a time for corporate fellowship and coming together to hear God’s word. 

      When you have the right attitude and lifestyle on the Lord’s Day then you will find your joy in the Lord which is His strength.  You will triumph on the heights.  You will feast and enjoy your inheritance.  The Lord ha spoken and to not fulfill this promise would go against his character, nature, and essence.
