Pharisees

Have you ever wondered what a church full of Pharisees would be like?

1. They would all attend every service.

2. They would all tithe.

3. They would all work in the church.

4. They would all go to Hell!

Proverbs 14:10 ... There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

The End of Any Nation

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives, without working for another person must work for, without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them; and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation!

[Adrien Rogers]

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 ... For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.  For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 ... And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;  That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.❤

Listening for His Voice

The United States Government doesn’t teach Treasury agents to detect counterfeit bills by having them study fakes. They show these agents real dollars over and over and over until they have the pattern memorized. Then when a counterfeit is put in front of them, they recognize it instantly because it doesn’t fit the pattern their eyes are looking for.

Do you know the voice of the Lord? The only way you can be sure that it is His voice you are hearing is to hear it so often that a stranger’s voice is instantly recognizable. It is far wiser to spend time learning the One True Voice than it is trying to learn to detect a multitude of false voices.

Spend at least 15 minutes today being silent before God and listening for His voice.

Yes, He Knows Your Name

Ever feel like the little girl who was endeavoring to pray what we call The Lord’s Prayer when she said, “Our Father which art in Heaven, how does He know my name?” I have.

But friend, He does know our names. He knows me. He knows you.

You say, “But how could God be interested in me? The great God who made the galaxies, how could He be interested in me? I'm like a fleck of spray in an ocean of existence.” Well, He is interested in you. You are not an accident. You are intimately known by God.

[Adrian Rogers]

Psalm 8:3-4 ... When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Psalm 139:14 ... I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Matthew 10:30-31 ... But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Song of Solomon 7:10 ... I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.❤

The Miracle Man

The same Jesus who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.

A Love Relationship

Christianity is a love relationship between a child of God and his Maker through the Son Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

[Adrian Rogers]

Romans 5:5-6 ... And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.   For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

1 John 4:9-10 ... In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.



Romans 8:14-15 ... For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.   For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

1 Corinthians 1:9 ... God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Galatians 3:26 ... For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Happy Father's Day, Abba, Father! ❤

Not Ashamed of The Saviour

A young preacher was called out of a life of sin to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. He had repented of his sin and was made new. Right before he entered the pulpit to preach one Sunday morning, someone slipped him a note.

 

The note read, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? You are up there telling people to get right with God and look at your sin!” The person had known this man in his past and listed his sins in detail. Do you know what the young preacher did?

 

He read the note, bowed his head in prayer, stood up, and said, “Ladies and gentleman I have just received a note and here is what it says.” Then in front of the church he read every one of those sins without leaving out a one. And then he said this, “Yes, I am ashamed of myself. But I am not ashamed of my Savior!”

Mark 8:38 ... Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. ❤

Looking For Christ

We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.

[Adrian Rogers]

Titus 2:13 … Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;  ❤

Is It Written All Over Your Face?

Somewhere in California during the gold rush of 1849, the story is told of two gold miners who struck a particularly rich vein of gold one day. They decided not to tell anyone else, so they could keep it for themselves. They went into town to get better equipment to mine the gold, but when they left, scores of people followed. Their jubilation was written all over their faces.

Is what is in your heart written all over your face? Oh, how I pray that each person reading this today will not hide what they have found in Jesus Christ. I want people who see you today to say, “I don’t know what is going on with her, but I want what she has. I want what he has.” The gift of salvation is for you, but it is also for others to behold and desire in you.

[Adrian Rogers]

Acts 4:20 ... For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. ❤

Jesus is Coming ... Again!

He came the first time to die; He is coming again to raise the dead.

When He came the first time, they questioned whether He was King; the next time the world will know that He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

The first time He wore a crown of thorns; the next time He will be wearing a crown of glory.

The first time He came in poverty; the next time He is coming in power.

The first time He had an escort of angels; the next time He will come with ten thousands of His saints.

The first time He came in meekness; He is coming again in majesty.

[Adrian Rogers]

John 14:2-3 ... In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ... For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Revelation 22:12-13 ... And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. ♥
