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.

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

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.

Ministry may not be Glamorous at times, but know this……..  God sees every act of love we have shown to others, in his name.  Is that not all the motivation we need?

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.
Hebrews 6:10 NASB

Our hope is in a great king (Jesus), who shows great mercy to his followers.  

This worlds government can never save us!  We put out faith and trust in one who will build a Holy Nation, that will last for all of eternity.  His kingdom will never end (Is 9: 6-7).

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
