Have you heard the news? Love is a conqueror. Love wins over death and love wins over sin. Love wins over fear. Love wins over disobedience. Love will rule the earth. Love is not an acceptance of evil, but a draw to do good.
Why should you have confidence in yourself? Because God made you. Because God gifted you. Because God promised He would be with you. You gave your life to God. Trust Him with it. He can use you.
You can’t lose God, but you can refuse Him. The choice is yours. You were His choice. He wants none to perish, but He places in your hands this life or death decision.
Bring your children to Jesus. Let them see Him, touch Him. They need to know He’s real and that He cares an out them.
Christ’s life in you is the inspiration. Wwjd? Be inspired by the life of Christ –His heart for the poor, the widow, the grieving.
There comes a time when you must decide whose you are. Do you belong to yourself or do you belong to God? Being a Christian doesn’t mean living selfishly and then asking forgiveness. A servant of God gives up the freedom to choose selfishly (which only leads to chains) and sacrifices self only to find freedom in Christ. Freedom to do right, to do the will of the Father, to be changed, to be like Jesus with maturing fruit showing the work of the Spirit.
“Where two or three are gathered…” Church isn’t a group; it’s a union, a union with Christ, one mind, one body, one Spirit.
The only way to be one, united, is to be one with Christ. Trying to make everyone the same is not the solution. A middle ground is a low standard and poor goal. Christ-like is the goal, a high standard and perfect outcome.
Let God ‘s light bring you out of the darkness. He can see in the dark to lead you. Don’t seek refuge and hide there in the dark. Don’t stay there. Don’t seek an artificial light. An artificial light will also trap you there in the darkness. There is a place God leads you where there is darkness, where there is no truth and seemingly no hope. His light is the only way out. Follow His light out of the darkness. Others will follow you, you who see the Light, and will be rescued.
