The Cost!

 Of following Jesus?

The price of being a believer is far better than the destiny of staying in the ways of the world, for their destiny is Eternal damnation and one of continual regret!

But ours of a little pain on this side of Eternity but one of bliss in that eternity with our Savior the Lord Jesus, where there is no pain or tears?

It is not easy, but in the long run it is far more better and worth, seeing lives changed, marriages saved, people ending their fads of lust and fantasy and even their causes that are not mentioned in our guide book the Holy Bible!

Matthew 8:18, Luke 9:57, 14:25-27, Romans 12:2, Hebrews 7:25.

The Christmas season Approaches!

 Great Opportunities?

Christmas and Easter have the biggest times to share the Gospel message in the hope of leading the world to the truth and understanding what it's all about, rather than the commercialism and gluttony of the seasonal holiday?

We know the truth of this time, but how to get it over to the world can be tougher, since they are blinded by Satan and His lies to what we have to say to change their hearts to receive the true light of the star of Jacob, the morning stare, the, 'I Am the light of the world!

Numbers 24:17, John 12:46, 2 Peter 1:19.

We also know the story and this with a few verses may be enough to reach them, love being a key factor since this is what people long for in this society of rejection, indifference and ignoring the truth of real like for that of feelings and constant fantasy?

Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:7, Luke 1:32-33, Amos 5:4, Matthew 7:7-8, John 3:3-18, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:22-23, 6:23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26.

Ascension and Pentecostal pouring Out!

 Jesus departed with the promised return and the Holy Spirit continues to be given to Believers!

God does not change but we do or one hopes we do as believers grow?

Bad people become good, some get saved and good believers can lose it because of mental health and do bad things, stress, pain, suffering, anger can all lead to that type of fall others to sex, money, narcotics or the ego of power and their destruction with victims!

Many Christian's refuse to believe that those saved can be lost, but the Holy Bible tells us so and that hose who live in sin will not inherit eternity! We may think we can play games with God, sin one day and seek His forgiveness the next  thinking we are okay, but we are only fooling ourselves in our silly ideas?

To be a believer is a tough road and the older you get the harder it is, some people hide their pain with smiles and praise, they refuse to admit their situation's, even to Jesus !

Hebrews 10:26, Leviticus 4:2, Deuteronomy 17:12, Psalm 19:12-13, John 9:41, 1 Timothy 1:13, James 4:17.

PEACE?

Human ideal and our Constant!

We always hear the world talking about the ideal of peace and yet it seems to be a continued elusive process, yet for us who are born of the Holy Spirit back to God through the blood of Jesus we have peace as our constant companion?

God is kind to us who have come to believe and to strengthen us daily to be able to live in this world we have the peace of Jesus in our hearts, that the world cannot have unless it too repents!

We can offer real this peace of Jesus to others by our words, in sickness, in fear, in trouble, in strife and they can respond to us, if they hear in thanks and maybe to God in confession!

Genesis 26:29,  Job 21:9,  Psalm 4:8,  34:14,  Matthew/Levi 10:13,  Luke 8:48,  John 3:15-18,  14:27,   Acts 10:36,   Romans 3:22-23,   5:1,   Galatians 5:22,   James 3:18.

Aspects of Christmas! One.

Loneliness?

This is perhaps the greatest downside of the Christmas holidays, loneliness! The festival only lasts a few days, but regret may lead to self-harm or suicide?

We may start well in life, doing our own thing but age brings its own problems? Friends and family pass-away and we may find ourselves alone not wanting to face truths and pains from mistakes in the past?

Christmas is full of fun, decorations, music, lights and kids who can have really enjoy it!

Believers need to look out for those older folks, a hot drink, meal, card and chat helps, feeling wanted also helps it really can go a long way!

God so loved this world He made that is why He gave us Jesus His one and only Son, for whoever believes in Him will have Eternal Life?

Luke 2:7,  12,  16,  John 3:3,  15-18,  Romans 3:23,  5:16-18,  6:23,  1 Peter 4:10.
