• 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 NASB
    "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [21] He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

    How then might we be "reconciled to God?"

    Colossians 1:19-20 NASB
    "For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, [20] and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross."

    We CAN'T reconcile ourselves to God. There's nothing from us that is worthy of the Father's favor. We may only submit ourselves to the reconciliation God freely offers through Christ and his FINISHED work at the cross. God made a way, through his Son, to make peace with us, despite how evil we have been or how terrible we can become, through the blood of Jesus on the cross.

    It is the obedience of Christ to submit to the cross and not our own obedience that saves us and goes on saving us. That's the gospel folks. Christ and him crucified.

  • John 1:1, NASB
    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

    He Who was from the Beginning is so Big and so Beyond our Understanding!
    In His Love He made it easy for us to Know Him
    by showing Himself through the Person of Jesus Christ! Someone we can Talk to, Someone we can Understand.
    How can we explain the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ!

    Prayer:
    2Corinthians 8:9, NASB
    “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.”

    Thank You Lord, You demoted Yourself from the Highest Heavens to the Lowest Earth, to make us Understand the Father Heart of God!
    We are forever Grateful for such Mercy! Amen.

  • Colossians 4:1, NASB
    “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.”

    Goodness gives birth to goodness. Badness gives birth to badness! What you give to others will be given back to you. This is the rule of God's Creation! Take Care!

    Prayer:
    Luke 6:38, NASB
    “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

    May we give out of Your Goodness, Mercy and Grace, out of the Heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.

  • Romans 5:6 NASB
    "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."

    That's me. I'm the ungodly. I am helpless to save myself.

    Romans 5:9 NASB
    "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."

    Despite my wickedness and sinful nature, I am "saved from the wrath of God" through Jesus and fully "justified by His blood."

    Hallelujah

  • In Numbers 11, we have the first appearance of clericalism in the Bible. Two servants of the Lord, Eldad and Medad, received God’s Spirit and began to prophesy (vv. 26–27). In hasty response, a young zealot urged Moses to “restrain them” (v. 28 NASB). Moses reproved the young suppressor, saying that all God’s people should receive the Spirit and prophesy.

  • Ezra 6:13, NASB
    “Then Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had sent.”

    Even foreign subjects are Faithful and Diligent to follow every command of their king.

    Prayer:
    Acts 26:19-20, NASB
    “19. “So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision,
    20. but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.”

    May we be Faithful in carrying out all Your Will to proclaim Your Message of Love in Jesus Christ, as Your servant Paul did. In Your Name we pray. Amen.

  • 2Corinthians 11:2, NASB
    “For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.”

    There is no presence of Jealousy without the presence of Love.
    The Stronger the Love, the Stronger the Jealousy!
    Strong is God's Jealousy because His Love is the Strongest!

    Prayer:
    Jeremiah 31:3, NASB
    “The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.”

    May we stay in Your Love, not in Your Jealousy! We remain in Good Relationship in Your Presence. For Jesus's Sake. Amen.

  • Judges 2:10, NASB
    “All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.”

    It a sad fact that the following generation is going down Morally and Spiritually because they are not Taught in the Lord. One Generation must Challenge the next Generation!

    Prayer:
    2Timothy 2:2, NASB
    “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

    May there be Faithful Leaders to Challenge this Present Generation into the Next Generation in the Name of the Lord. The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

  • Amos 5:4-5 NASB
    4."For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, “Seek Me that you may live.
    5. “But do not resort to Bethel And do not come to Gilgal, Nor cross over to Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will come to trouble."

    False Dependence on False Hopes leads us to Emptiness. It's Trouble when we want God-Free Lives in a Universe Created by Almighty God!

    Prayer:
    Deuteronomy 30:19 NASB
    “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,"

    We choose You! We choose Life! Jesus Christ the Way, Truth and Life! Amen. Amen.
