Our Lord Our Rock

Something to think about.

Our Lord Our Rock

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
   let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
   let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
   and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
   the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
   and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
   let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! Psalms 95:1-6

Acknowledge him for all He has done, for He is worthy our praise, He is worthy of our worship.

Fear and Consequences

Something to think about.

Fear and Consequences

4" I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Luke 12:4-5

Before you  quit on God, decide it isn't worth it, follow the intellect of man or that of false gods. Remember God is bound by His holiness to carry out justice and pronounce judgement. The end of this life is not the end of life.

Disbelief

Something to think about.

Disbelief

31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'" Luke 16:31

For some will not believe. They have hardened their hearts, closed their ears and their love has grown cold.  Do not let that be you.

Love and Justice

9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. 10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.

Hunger

Something to think about.

Hunger

Amazed

Something to think about.

Amazed

27  The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” Matthew 8:27

Are you amazed? Has Christ become too commonplace in your life? The one that stilled the waters commanded the elements, healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead, and forgave your sin. Is He not amazing to you? There is not and never will be anyone like Him.

Faith, Hope, Love

Something to think about

Faith, Hope, Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-6,13 (ESV)

With all the noise in the world, we need to be reminded, without love we have nothing.

Four Kinds of People

Something to think about.

Four Kinds of People

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14  And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15  As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.  Luke 8:11-15

Are you the one that has had the word stolen from them? Are you the one that crumbles under pressure? Are you the one that is too concerned with the cares of today? Are you the one that will bear abundant fruit?

   that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
   for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
   for it does not cease to bear fruit.”Jeremiah 17:7 (ESV)

If you trust God you will be blessed.

Confidant

33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

1 Blessed Is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; Psalms 1:1

It matters who you associate with. Associate with righteousness and be righteous, associate with the ungodly and be ungodly.
