"Rejoice ever more. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 AKJV)

Here is a great way to live life. Follow God's way.

Monday, January 8, 2007

"Shall a man make gods to himself, and they are no gods?" (Jeremiah 16:20 AKJV)

The sad answer to this question is yes. Life won't make sense until or unless we know and serve the true and living God.

Tuesday, January 9, 2007

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." (Colossians 3:18-21 AKJV)

It's time to go back to God's way of being family. The other way isn't working.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007

"Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not." (Jeremiah 33:3 AKJV)

God is able to meet your need. Call out to Him and see Him work for the best in your life.

"For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." (1 Timothy 4:8 AKJV)

Are you in good spiritual shape? It pays better dividends than a physical workout.

Friday, January 12, 2007

"Ah Lord GOD! behold, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for you:" (Jeremiah 32:17 AKJV)

God is awesome. There is nothing too hard for Him.

Saturday, January 13, 2007

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1 Timothy 2:5 AKJV)

Everyone needs Jesus. "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 AKJV)

Sunday, January 14, 2007

"Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint." (Proverbs 25:19 AKJV)

Are you dependable or undependable? Read the above again and think of what kind of person you are.

Monday, January 15, 2007

"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:16 AKJV)

Saying that someone knows God and really knowing Him are 2 different things. Are you a real follower of Jesus?  If so, your life should show it. 

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

"The great God that formed all things both rewards the fool, and rewards transgressors." (Proverbs 26:10 AKJV)

It's true but no one should want what these 2 groups will receive. God is holy and therefore must judge sin and the sinner.

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

"The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker." (Psalms 95:5-6 AKJV)

We are not here by accident. God created this world and He created you. We were made to worship Him.

Thursday, January 18, 2007

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4 AKJV)

God help us to have men of God who will preach the Word of God whether people appreciate it or not. The truth of God will never change.  

Friday, January 19, 2007

"He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?" (Psalms 94:9 AKJV)

God knows. No one is out of His sight or hearing. Think it over.

Saturday, January 20, 2007

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16 AKJV)

Are you looking for the truth? Read your Bible. There is no other book like it.

Sunday, January 21, 2007

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." (2 Timothy 3:1 AKJV)  "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Timothy 3:7 AKJV)

We live in such a day. We have more information but we are also less wise. We must return to the Bible.

Monday, January 22, 2007

"Your throne is established of old: you are from everlasting." (Psalms 93:2 AKJV)

God is eternal and He will never change. Are you ready to meet Him when this life is over?

Tuesday, January 23, 2007

"The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:" (2 Timothy 1:16 AKJV)

What a compliment. Will you refresh someone today? Everyone needs a word of encouragement.

Wednesday, January 24, 2007

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Timothy 6:10 AKJV)

The love of money can mess up your life whether you have a lot of money or little money. Think it over. 

Thursday, January 25, 2007

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity." (Ezekiel 7:19 AKJV)

Money cannot fill the hunger of the human heart. Only Jesus can do that. Commit your life to Him before it is too late.

Friday, January 26, 2007

"Whoever digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return on him." (Proverbs 26:27 AKJV)

Think twice before becoming a troublemaker. The consequences are not good.

Saturday, January 27, 2007

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12 AKJV)

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. Read it and let God work in your life.

Sunday, January 28, 2007

"Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." (Ezekiel 16:49 AKJV)

What kind of people are we? Do we honor the Lord and think of others? Think it over.

Monday, January 29, 2007

"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." (Proverbs 27:6 AKJV)

Real friends are kind and honest. Be a real friend.

Tuesday, January 30, 2007

"Boast not yourself of to morrow; for you know not what a day may bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1 AKJV)

Life is short and fragile. Today is a gift and tomorrow may never come.

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

"And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation." (Hebrews 9:27-28 AKJV)

Are you ready with your appointment with death? You can be by committing your life to Jesus.

Thursday, February 1, 2007

"And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24-25 AKJV)

Church attendance is important. When was the last time you were in church?

Friday, February 2, 2007

"For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:30-31 AKJV)

Don't treat the Lord lightly. You will see Him face to face one day.

Saturday, February 3, 2007

"Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man." (Psalms 108:12 AKJV)

God is the One who can really help you. "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not." (Jeremiah 33:3 AKJV)

Sunday, February 4, 2007

"The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion." (Proverbs 28:1 AKJV)

Righteousness has its benefits. It can bring confidence and peace.

Monday, February 5, 2007

"Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone." (James 2:17 AKJV)

Real faith in God is active and glorifies the Lord. Do you possess real Biblical faith?

Tuesday, February 6, 2007

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27 AKJV)

Faith in the Lord is very practical and helpful to others. Jesus people are servants. Today we have a lot of glitz but not much humble service in Jesus' name.

Wednesday, February 7, 2007

"So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceeding great army." (Ezekiel 37:10 AKJV)

God can still bring empty lives to life. God give us preachers that will unashamedly preach the Word of God so people can be born again.

Thursday, February 8, 2007

"I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications." (Psalms 116:1 AKJV)

When was the last time that you told the Lord you loved Him?  He has been so good to all of us.

Friday, February 9, 2007

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no fickleness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17 AKJV)

Goodness comes from the Lord. He is good and we are sinful and in desperate need of His forgiveness and cleansing.

Saturday, February 10, 2007

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8 AKJV)

In a changing world the Lord remains the same. You can depend on Him.
