Me, an accident? I don’t think so.

My father went to be with the creator of all things on 10-10-18. What a new home, he has found. Someday, I will get to join him, when my time has come, and he takes me home. It will be a great reunion with Dad and Mom and many relatives who have gone before them.

Gut check….Do we reflect to our fellow Christians, this belief and hope in Our daily lives?  Just as important, do we display that through our actions, to a lost and fallen world?

 


and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

Bible says, Pick your Friends Wisely!  


A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 NASB

Jesus, who is the author and perfector of our faith (HEB 12), also calls US his friends.

What are you doing right now?

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:3‭-‬4 NASB

Every time you have an option on your time, think about the verse above.  I know it will help me fill my mind with other people, rather than thinking of myself.

May we put on the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16).

Who can reconcile the vast expanse of holiness, between God and ALL of Mankind?

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5‭-‬6 NASB

What can we do?  Nothing, but recognize the unfathomable gift of love, and fall at his feet and worship him.

Want to be set free from the power of sin and death?


Put your trust and faith in Jesus, who has overcome all that is wrong in this world, and he will give you, life eternal.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:32 NASB

Whom do you serve, God or Man? Galatians 1:10 says you must choose one or the other.  There is no middle ground.


For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10 NASB

Want to be strong? See what the bible says.


Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10 NASB

Who would like a word of encouragement?


The bible says to consider others more important than yourself.  Maybe you should consider GIVING, a word of encouragement to someone!  Who knows, maybe it will even work it’s way back to you.  God’s love is contagious. 

What do you think?

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.
Proverbs 12:25 NASB
