BE AN OPEN BIBLE

Our example is the only bible which millions of people read today. -James E. Murray

1 Corinthians 3:6, I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

            What kind of seed are we planting? How are we tending to the seeds in the ground? What example will we set at work today?  Students, how about the example at school? Parents, how about the example before our kids? Let me remind you of a simple but true statement, “We are the only Bible some people read.” What are they reading about the Saviour of the World?

            Father, help us today to be what and who we are in You to everyone we come in contact with. Lord helps us to be just as real as Christ; to care for the lost, hurting, and dying soul. To care for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Father, help us invest our lives in someone today!

JUST A “LITTLE” MORE

You say, "If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied."  You make a mistake.  If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled. –Spurgeon

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to improve your situation in life. There is nothing wrong with getting an education, getting training, or even moving up the corporate ladder to improve your finances. But in a world that attempts to persuade us that we need more of this or that, God says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6 So what do we do?

            Pray, asking God to give you wisdom and direction.            

            Go through the open doors and stop when the door closes.

            Be patient and wait on the Lord, having faith He will bring to pass what is best for you in this life!

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH!

It’s a privilege to go to church to praise the name of our Saviour!

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Psalm 22:22

Without making our way to church this morning we will miss out on some precious time we have with our Saviour! From the time we enter the sanctuary doors until we go back to the parking lot it is a time centered in and on our Saviour. Without that, we are no more than the local social club like the Shiners’, Moose Club, or the YMCA.

So do something different this Sunday morning, GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO A BIBLE PREACHING, TEACHING CHURCH!

I hope you're going!

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. Hebrews 2:12

Bus workers are you excited? Teachers are you prepared? Choir are you tuned up? Pastor are you prayed up, studied up, and confessed up? If so, GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH expecting to meet with the Lord today! 

Sinner friend, there is someone waiting for you at church today. Why not put a smile on their face by you GETTING UP, GETTING READY, and GOING TO CHURCH? It may make the difference for you for all of eternity! 

Overcome or Overtaken?

Satan would tempt us to despair; but good hope keeps us trusting in God and rejoicing in him. –Henry

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24

So many things to pull us down. So much going on in this world to leave us hopeless. So much pain and suffering. So much wickedness. So many reasons to be overtaken with temptation. But I am reminded…Greater is He that is in you than He that is in this world! So instead of being overtaken, we can overcome those temptations by Him! Hallelujah what a Saviour!
