The One Who Calls You Is Faithful

-
"The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."   [1 Thessalonians 5:24]

Heaven is a place where we would never sin; a place where we stop our guard constantly against an indefatigable enemy, because there is no tempter to ensnare our feet. There, the bad guys stop making a scene, and the weary to rest. Heaven is "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you," [1 Peter 1: 4]; That's perfectly holy land, and therefore, completely safe ground. But not on the earth saints will sometimes feel a sense of joy that encouraging? Scripture teaches, whoever is united with the sheep that survived; that they all were really going fast to run; that all who gave his soul to the maintenance of Christ will find him as a protector of the faithful and unchanging.  Sustained by this beautiful truth doctrine, we were able to enjoy a sense of security even in the earth; though not the security magnificent and noble that releases us from every slip, but security holy arising from Jesus' promise is for sure, that no one who believes in Him will perish, but will be with Him where He is. O you who believe, let frequently contemplate with joy the doctrine of perseverance of the saints, and appreciate the faithfulness of our God with holy confidence in Him.  May God give us a sense of security in Jesus Christ! May He assure you that your name is engraved on his hands; and whispered in the ear of this promise, "Fear not, for I am with you." [Isaiah 41:10] Look to Him, the Guarantor great deal, He that is faithful and true, and therefore bind and engage himself to offer you, the weakest in his family, together with the entire tribe elected, before the throne of God; and in a sweet contemplation you will drink the juice of the spiced wine of the Lord's, water pomegranate of God, and enjoying the taste of dainty fruits of Paradise. You will taste the pleasure of satisfying entrees souls of the saints were perfect up there, if you can believe with unshakable faith that "He who calls you is faithful, He will fulfill it."  Hallelujah,  God bless.

What Is Your True Purpose

Scriptures: 1 Samuel 16:6-13  What do you live for each day? A pay raise? Retirement? Then perhaps you've discovered the reality that basing aspirations on getting ahead in this world typically ends in disappointment. People with a misguided sense of direction often wonder why they feel unfulfilled. Maybe you've already realized a goal of saving for the future or moving up the corporate ladder. You give to charity and volunteer at church, but somehow still feel a sense of insignificance or aimlessness. If so, there is a truth you need to hear: God gives each of us life for a very specific reason: to serve Him. Nobody finds inner peace without reconciling this fact. Our society teaches us that pleasure, prosperity, position, and popularity will make us happy--but living in the service of self always leaves an emptiness no earthly reward can fill. Besides, worldly philosophy won't stand the test of time. Few of us are going to live even 100 years. So whatever

The Teeter - Totter Syndrome

" Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;   in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."  Proverbs 3:5-6 There is a dangerous dynamic that sets up in many marriages. I call it the teeter-totter syndrome. It is based upon the dynamic where we naturally respond to our spouse’s behavior. When one spouse moves to an unhealthy or extreme position, the other spouse will almost always adjust to the other extreme to protect themselves and the relationship. Imagine two people sitting face-to-face in the middle of a teeter-totter on a playground. They are close and their weight is balanced. But what happens if one of them moves backwards? You know how it works. On a teeter-totter, everything the other person does on their side affects you on your side—just like marriage. If the other person on a teeter-totter moves backwards, then you also have to move backwards to keep the balance. If they continue to move backwards

The God Who Saves

Scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9   Recently I was talking with a fellow about his spiritual life. When I asked, "Are you saved?" he answered, "No, but I'm working at it." When I pressed him, he explained that he was making some changes in his life. He had given up smoking and drinking, among other things. I knew that I should help him understand a few important principles, as his only guarantee so far was better health. What this gentleman needed to realize was that what we do or what we give up for Jesus doesn't amount to much. The Lord isn't looking for people who change a few habits by sheer force of will; He's calling people to surrender themselves to Him. The only action God expects of a "seeker" is to believe in Jesus--that He is who He says, He will do what He says, He has the authority to forgive, and He will equip His people to live a godly life. Because of those convictions, a new Christian is empowered to turn away from
