Never has uncertainty been any greater than it is today in uncertain times, because as uncertain as things are of this, I am certain that God almighty is still on his throne. I am certain that the Word of God is true from page to page and cover to cover I am certain that every promise, locked int hese pages is good for a thousand generations. I am certain that, even though men on this earth may plan and they may plot - and they may have devised Schemes and try to control the things of this earth
I just want to share just a little bit of Scripture with you, Psalms, 139: 23 and 24
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Listen, none of us want to think about the things that are wrong in our life are the things that are bad about us. We just rather think about the good stuff. We'd rather ask God to bless us, but sometimes when God wants to bless you after the blessing, he must break
And so I suppose, all of us, at some time or another have, been frustrated that we've been discouraged and, that we've been tempted to quit we tried hard, but we didn't immediately get the results. We expected. Therefore, we declare you know what I tried it didn't work. I quit now, who am I talking to out there? I tried didn't work, so I quit
The struggles of life have pilfered the life out of your life and you don't know where to turn and quite honestly, you don't know, if faith is worth the ri
Every man has been called by God to biblical manhood, not merely to male-ness. There can be a difference between being a male and being a man Being a man has to do with owning your responsibility under God and having God as your authority. When you forsake that definition ``under God,'', then you have compromised the true definition of manhood and you've actually settled for being a male. It is absolutely critical that you understand like in a good football game. You'Ve been drafted, You've been
Today we're gon na meditate on a passage from the Book of Jeremiah chapter 17, verses 7 & 8.
New King James Version
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Another word for anchored is rooted, and I love what the
Men really do matter. Men are critical to the well-being of their families, to the strength of their churches, and to the order of our culture and our society. It is critical that men understand this unique and special place and responsibility that God has given us. That doesn't make us better than women, but the reason God created Adam first was that he would bear the shoulder of responsibility. The key to manhood is responsibility under God, and so God set a man aside, Adam, to give him instru
Oh Lord, in the morning you hear my voice in the morning. I prepare a sacrifice for you and I watch So let the first thing out of your mouth in the morning, while you're still on the pillow. Let the first thing be a cry to God. I love you lord. I need you. Lord help me Lord. That is the first cry out of my mouth in the morning.
I need you again today. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love For in you. I trust Make me know the way I should go for to you. I lift up my soul. How precio
“Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
If ya wanna be healthy and grow in your relationship with God...it's gonna be kind of hard if you don't spend some time reading and digesting His Word. We all seem to be busy most of the time and often it is our reading and study time that gets cut. Take the time and make the time to read and study...this is the technological age get your word on cd or in mp3 forma
If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ,
if his love has made any difference in your life,
if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you,
if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor:
Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.
Don't push your way to the front;
don't sweet-talk your way to the top.
Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.
Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage.
Forget yourselves long enough to lend a he
All praise, honor and glory be-long
To the God who's strong with authority
He's matchless, this rap is lyrically graphic
Cause it's a tactic to speak truth so you can grasp it
(The Tonic)
If you can grasp this
You can live in fullness in between your birth date and your death date
Where the dash is
And your casket or your fancy grave brick
Can be the hot spot where the cherubim sit
'Til the Father says, "Roll back the stone bring him to the thrown,
Yea, cause where He laid his heart is his
"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God,

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to

"I'm speechless, in awe—words fail me.Job 40:3
I should never have opened my mouth!
I've talked too much, way too much.
I'm ready to shut up and listen."
In the above passage, prior to Job being rendered speechless...he had approached and questioned God. When God begins to respond Job snaps back to reality and realizes who he is talking to. When confronted with God's awe, power and majesty
Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.1 Timothy 4:11-14 (The Message)
It's all about Representation. Jesus c
