Friends, you do not know me and I don't know you. But I want you to know that my ministry is based on the Holy Bible. The King James version is my favorite. I have read and studied many books and philosophies, but the only real solid truths that I have found is in God's word.
I have to admit that I don't like everything that I read in His word. That part about loving those who despitefully use you is really, really hard to do when some person runs a stop sign nearly hitting you, then flips you off, and continues on his merry way while you are sitting there with your nerves shaking. But I have to because God is right. What is the alternative? To behave like those who have no love in their heart or hope for the future? The Bible offers me the hope of a better world if I follow Jesus.
(MY TIP OF THE DAY)
Pray for people who despitefully use you. Praying heaps coals of fire on their heads. Since God doesn't hear a sinner's prayers then our prayers maybe the only chance to bring God's attention to bear on these lost souls. Pray that God will touch their hearts and open their minds to Him and help them to accept His truth and light into their lives.
A Christian life will never be a picnic or walk in the park. The earth is overrun with Satan, his minions, and those he has in his grasp. Please, consider this - if you aren't serving God and following Jesus then Satan probably has you. There is no fence to straddle - no neutral ground. There is God's side. And there is Satan's side. You can not serve two masters.
Matthew 12:30
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Jesus Christ has been given all power and authority in heaven and earth. He is our saviour, our comfort, our refuge, ... Do not be fooled by the world's meager and temporary pleasures. The rewards that we seek are heavenly and eternal. We need to stay focused on what is important.
God's word is not old, out of date, or unrelated to our lives today. It is still as meaningful and important today as when it was given. The truths, guidance, and wisdom stored in the Bible can order and preserve your life and your soul anytime - anywhere. Read, study, and apply them to your life and be blessed!
