Steadfast Christians Lost in Their Love for Him

7/31/2013

 
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."  Acts 2:42
Picture
Acts 2:42 tells us that the early Christians were steadfast in three things:  * the Apostle’s doctrine, *fellowship, * the Lord’s table, and * prayers.  In other words, the early Christians had a faith which was more than just believing in Him; they were diligent in the disciplines that God had taught them.  They didn’t just “amen” the preacher to death on Sunday only to live like the wicked world on Monday!  Their testimony helped to bear witness to the truth of Jesus in the world.

Steadfast:  Living for Christ Every Single Day

7/28/2013

 
"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common."  Acts 4:32
Picture
Warning; if you love Jesus, but don’t love His church – these blessings can never be yours.  The early church (that is the gathering of Christians in a local area) of Jerusalem experienced great blessings and persecutions, setting the precedent for all future assemblies.  In common they had this - they believed (had faith) and in this, they were of one heart and mind.

God's Grace Offered Forgiveness before we asked for it.

7/14/2013

 
 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God ... Ephesians 2:8
Picture
God’s grace is amazing; He is known as the “God of all grace” [1 Peter 5:10] in the Holy Bible.  When we think of God, do we think of how longsuffering and kind He is?  We have disobeyed His holy laws (the very heart of God), we have thrown our fist up before Him, and we have tried to define our own righteousness rather than relying on His righteousness and His ways.  Even as believers in Him, we often fail to be as gracious and kind as He is to us.

Matthew 6:33-34 - His Priorities Our First Priority

7/4/2013

 
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.  Matthew 6:33-34
Picture
Did you personally accept Jesus Christ and start seeking his Kingdom from our last blog post?  If so, welcome to God’s family!  Continue seeking after Him and His ways.

Above all, seek the Lord; make Him a priority.  It’s the first thing we should do when we awaken; give glory and honor to Him through prayer and then seek after Him by reading a faithful Bible translation, the King James Bible.  As we make Jesus a priority, then He promises He will give to us all He has in store.

Matthew 6:33-34 - What are you seeking after?  What are you looking for?

7/1/2013

 
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
- Matthew 6:33-34
Picture
Is food, drink, clothing, or the cares of this life the only thing you worry about? [Matthew 6:25] We learn in the sermon on the Mount that the secret to living an Abundant Life is:  a) not a secret and b) not found in the temporary needs of life.  The needs of life are only an end to help us trust Him more.  Our Father in Heaven knows exactly what you need; we should trust that He will provide for what we need and not always what we want.  Let’s live the life of victory by living life the way He intended it.
