“But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.” (Psalms 9:7-8 AKJV)

This life is not all there is. We will all face the Lord one day. Are you ready? Surrender your life to Him today.

“And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, which built his house on the sand:” (Matthew 7:26 AKJV)

Knowing God’s Word and doing God’s Word are two different things. Real Christians do the will of God. Failing to obey the Lord has terrible consequences.

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?” (Psalms 8:3-4 AKJV)

We are so small compared to the rest of God’s creation and yet He has chosen to pour His love upon us. Jesus loves you. Praise the Lord!

“Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14 AKJV)

Getting to Heaven is no easy task. We must give our lives to Jesus and Him alone. He is the only way to Heaven.

Thursday, April 10, 2008
“And you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22 AKJV)
Salvation from Hell is no cakewalk. The world will hate us and we will need to persevere through tough times. However, remember Heaven awaits us and not Hell. Praise the Lord!
 
Friday, April 11, 2008
“My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.” (Proverbs 3:11-12 AKJV)

God’s people will be corrected by the Lord. This shows us that we really belong to Him. Are you a child of God?
Saturday, April 12, 2008
“Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.” (Proverbs 3:9-10 AKJV)

Give to the Lord and He will give back to you. You can’t out give the Lord.

“And as Jesus passed forth from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.” (Matthew 9:9 AKJV)

This is the Christian life. We follow Jesus. Are you a Christian?
 
Monday, April 14, 2008
“And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 10:38-39 AKJV)

Being a Christian is more than just saying your prayers. It is a commitment to Jesus as the Lord of your life. When you do, you will find real living.
 
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28 AKJV)

God is to be feared. The destiny of your soul for eternity is in His hands. Commit your life to Him today.

“Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32-33 AKJV)

Christians are not ashamed to be a follower of Jesus. Are you a Christian? Tell others about Jesus.

Thursday, April 17, 2008
“The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.” (Psalms 14:1 AKJV)

It truly is foolish to deny the existence of God. We are living in His incredible universe. Think it over.

Friday, April 18, 2008
“Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29 AKJV)

Your soul can find rest and peace when you come to Jesus. Why are you waiting? Come to Jesus now.

Saturday, April 19, 2008
“These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove you, and set them in order before your eyes.” (Psalms 50:21 AKJV)

God is not like you and me. He is holy and His standards do not change. We must repent of sin and plead for His mercy and forgiveness. Don’t underestimate the Lord.

Sunday, April 20, 2008
“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:3 AKJV)

Our good works will not get us to Heaven. We must go to God and ask for His salvation in Jesus. Without Jesus people will spend eternity in Hell.

Monday, April 21, 2008
“Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15 AKJV)

Have you broken the sixth commandment? You must face holy God. Only He can deliver from that terrible Day of Judgment. Repent and ask for His forgiveness.

“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.” (Hebrews 13:6 AKJV)

God can give you the courage you need. Trust Him and do not fear what others may think.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7 AKJV)

Wisdom comes from the Lord. Read your Bible and He will give you the understanding you need.

Thursday, April 24, 2008
“So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:49-50 AKJV)

Hell is a real place. All of us are wicked and in desperate need of God’s forgiveness through the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of Jesus. Give your life to Jesus.
 
Friday, April 25, 2008
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” (Matthew 13:45-46 AKJV)

Being a Christian means that we cherish Jesus more than anything else. Are you a Christian?

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork. Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.” (Psalms 19:1-2 AKJV)

Creation shouts that there is the Creator. This world is no accident and neither are you. God made both.
 
Monday, April 28, 2008
“This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” (Matthew 15:8 AKJV)

Tuesday, April 29, 2008
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:” (Acts 17:30 AKJV)

The Lord demands that we change our ways. We must turn away from sin and follow Him. If not, we will spend eternity in Hell.

“For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.” (Psalms 25:11 AKJV)

Thursday, May 1, 2008
“But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;” (Matthew 20:26 AKJV)

Real greatness is defined by service. Jesus set the example that we all should follow.

Friday, May 2, 2008
“But Jesus beheld them, and said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26 AKJV)

God can do the impossible in your life. He can save you from an eternal Hell to eternal life in Heaven. No one else can do that for you including yourself. Give your life to the Lord today.

“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14 AKJV)

“Then said Jesus to his disciples, Truly I say to you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:23 AKJV)

Materialism and riches give a false sense of security to people. One day all that will be gone and you will be standing before the God who created you and sent His Son to deliver you from Hell. What then? Give your life to Jesus now before it is too late.
 
Monday, May 5, 2008
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalms 23:1 AKJV)

Wednesday, May 7, 2008
“Why they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matthew 19:6 AKJV)

Marriage is sacred and should be treated as such. Many ills of society would be cured if marriages followed God’s plan. Think it over.
 
Thursday, May 8, 2008
“And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them, And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:2-3 AKJV)

Pride has no place in the kingdom of God. We must be humble and we must place total faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Have you entered into God’s kingdom?

Friday, May 9, 2008
“Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them.” (Matthew 18:19-20 AKJV)

There is tremendous power when the people gather together for prayer in one accord. Be sure to be in church and prayer meeting. God has great things He wants to do through His people.
