GOD’s Heart vs Man’s Heart I
Eph.6:5&9 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ… Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.”
Yesterday, I said that knowing and seeing the injustices of slavery, I struggled with seeing God acknowledge slavery in the Bible (Eph.6:5-9). My struggles made me seek Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out
Gal. 5:9-10 “This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.”
One of the things that we should be careful of, as believers, is the leaven – what you eat. In other words, it is not everybody you listen to. Not everyone who calls himself a man of God is actually a man of God. Read the rest of this entry
Compliance
Eph.5:21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (emphasis added)

The Most
Eph.5:16 (NRSV) “making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” (emphasis added)

Such Love!
Rom.8:38-39 (Voice) “For I have every confidence that nothing—not death, life, heavenly messengers, dark spirits, the present, the future, spiritual powers, height, depth, nor any created thing—can come between us and the love of God revealed in the Anointed, Jesus our Lord.
Eph.3:18-19 “And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.” (emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry
GOD’s Not Man’s
Eph. 3:1 (NRSV) “This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles”
Some people ask, ‘Didn’t Jesus suffer so that we can be comfortable?’ Jesus died so that you can be in a relationship with God, so that your sins can be forgiven, so you can be in right standing with God, Read the rest of this entry
But GOD!
Eph.2:3 (NRSV) All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else” (emphasis added).
Really no one, not one of us can claim to be holier than another because the truth is, if God did not deliver you, you would not have been delivered. The Bible says, “All of us”, meaning we have all been there. Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
Eph.2:1 (NRSV) “You were dead through the trespasses and sins.” (emphasis added).
James 4:17 (NRSV) “Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.” Yesterday, we learned that to sin is to miss the mark. The best way I can explain transgression is this. Read the rest of this entry
Here & Now!
3 Jn.1:2 “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit”
It is truly amazing how people walk with God and it is as if God becomes their life. I am trusting God that the health He has in store for us, will become a reality in our lives Read the rest of this entry

Acts 4:32 “All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.” (emphasis added)
It is both unscriptural and a misnomer to have spiritual shared wellbeing without having physical and financial shared wellbeing. From a holistic standpoint, Read the rest of this entry
