Show Some Real Love!

How many times would you say you've been in love? Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to "love one another,"because "by this all will know that you are My disciples,if you have love for one another"(John C:v34 &v35).The love that our Lord wants His disciples to have for one another is different from the romantic kind displayed between loving couples and the brotherly kind shown between friends or family.It's an unselfish love.The Greek word John used in Jesus'command is agape--God's kind of love that expects nothing in return.That was what Jesus showed to His disciples "when He "poured water into a basin and begain to wash the disciples'feet"(v.5).That is the kind of love He showed for us when He went to the cross for us.So then bear one another's burdens ,and so fulfill the law of Christ.Galatians C:6.v2.

The Big What If!

Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions about existence--questions about love and faith,life and death,good and evil.You can God has already provided clear,understandable answers.The Bible is it,and it's no illusion.Get it while it's hot.

Why Do Men War?

At the core many disputes in a home,community,or the world,there is often at least one person who is not willing to accept a different idea,belief,tradition,or appearance.Yet there is something happening that has greater power,a power for good.One by one,throughout the world,you can fine people dedicated to being at peace in a world of diversity,a world of unique individuals created by God.To love and be loved by each other.There is a harvest of peace that is nourishing the world.James C-3:v18. Love somebody today in the name of Jesus,love.

When Your Suffering A Sin Buildup!

Sin slowly decrease's the spiritual power that God has given us to live by.A buildup of sin in a Christian's life can be a real problem. But,God has provided a way to clear the accumulation of sins from our lives.First John C-1:v9 reninds us:"If we confess our sins,He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."But unless we do that often,we'll be running on diminished power.That's because the power for living comes from God and not us (2 Cor.C-4:v7).When we try to live the Christian life in our own strength,we'll feel defeated--like windmills robbed of thir energy.God's power can be more easily seen and experienced in our lives when we get rid of sin's buildup every day.

God Plays No Favorites.

Superficial people are easily deceived by social rank and wealth,that is,by external appearances.But God looks at the heart,not at the externals.Nobody can deceive Him by applying an external varnish to the impurity that lies underneath.What shame is brought on by our arrogance and haughtiness!Read: Romans;C-2:v11.

Spiritual Freedom...

"We was not born to be free-We was born to adore and to obey."We know should the truth of the paradox that in God's service is perfect freedom.Let us be sure that we know it too,and hold God ever in our minds in adoring love.
