No I Can't Imagine

Something to think about.

No I Can't Imagine

9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived” —
the things God has prepared for those who love him— 1 Corinthians 2:9

I am so excited to see the wonderful things God has planned for me that are beyond my imagination.

The Epitome of the Christian Life


Something to think about.

The Epitome of the Christian Life

    20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20       

We Christians, it is not about us, it is about Christ living in us.

Witnesses

Something to think about

Witnesses

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

Eyewitness testimony of the cornerstone of Christianity.

Is the World Missing Something?

Something to think about.

Is the World Missing Something?

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 12:1-8

The world is at war because it does not know what  love is.

Receive It All

Something to think about. 

Receive It All

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.Romans‬ ‭8:32-34 ‭NIV

The one who died and was resurrected is sitting at the right hand of God working on your behalf.

If They Don't Know They Can't Call

Something to think about.

 
If They Don't Know They Can't Call

13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? Romans 10:13-14

They can’t be saved if they don’t know, they won’t know unless someone tells them. Will you be that someone?

Stand Your Ground

Something to think about

In this day in this time it is of vital importance to you and the world that you are steadfast and immovable in your faith. In the end you will be vindicated, upheld, and glorified, because when the Lord is fully glorified you will be counted among the beloved.

It Is a Different Language

Something to think about

It Is a Different Language

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. ESV 1 Corinthians 2:14

14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. Amplified bible 1 Corinthians 2:14

The language of God can only be understood by the spirit of God that is in you. The spirit of God is only in you if you have accept what His son has done for you on the cross. Intellectualism is insufficient to understand spiritual concepts. It is a different language.

Best Things in Life Are Free

Something to think about.

Best Things in Life Are Free

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8

This is as simple as it gets, salvation is a gift of God. You cannot earn it.

You are saved by God’s grace through the faith provided by God. We do not supply the grace, we do not provide the faith we cannot save ourselves. It is a gift from God. He has already done it all on our behalf.

It Is Not a Rose Garden

Something to think about.

It Is Not a Rose Garden

18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. John 15 18-19 (ESV)

Being chosen to be a part of the body of Christ means you will be hated by the world. Because of Christ we are at odds with the world.

Recognition

Something to think about

Recognition

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV)

Are you doing the will of God or are you too busy doing “good”?

What Are You Planting?

Something to think about.

What Are You Planting?

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. {8} The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8 (NIV)

That which you plant will grow and you will reap the reward, your own destruction or eternal life.

Overcoming the Overwhelming

Something to think about.

Overcoming the Overwhelming

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV

Regardless of the challenge God has not allowed it to be greater than you can bear. He has provided you with a way to overcome. When you are challenge in any area of life, be assured you can be victorious for God will not allow any challenge in your life you cannot handle. Yes you are victorious through Christ Jesus our Lord.
