ROMAN 10 8-18''''  8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” [ e ] (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” [ f ] 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” [ g ] Israel Rejects the Gospel 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those w

She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens. She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying. She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional. There's only one thing wrong with her. She forgets what she's worth! . I love you girl .

      If there is anyone who is not enlightened by the sublime magnificence of created things, he is blind. f there is anyone who, seeing all these works of God, does not praise Him, he is dumb; if there is anyone who, from so many signs, cannot perceive God, that person is foolish.

Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” The Bible is filled with admonitions about the importance of listening: Listen to my words…I told you, but you would not listen…Be silent, Israel, and listen… Listening is best done in quiet. Again from the Bible: Teach me, and I will be quiet…In quietness and trust is your strength…It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord… Come with me (Jesus) by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. Rebecca St. James writes these words in a meaningful praise hymn: I’ll stand in awe of you, Jesus… You are God in Heaven And here I am on earth So I’ll let my words be few Because I’m so in love with you

Lord Jesus, I need You. I know You are the Son of God, the Savior of all men. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Enable me to live a supernatural life beginning today. Amen.” If you asked Christ to come into your life, by faith, trusting that He has answered your prayer even as He has promised, then you can know with absolute certainty that He has done so. Reading: John 14:23-27

“The Lord is my light and my salvation. I will fear no one.” (Psalm 27:1 GNT) I love the way my wife Kay watches horror movies. If something like Alien comes on television, she turns on every light in the room and sometimes pulls up the comforter to cover her eyes. Would she watch a horror movie in the total dark? Absolutely not. Many of you won’t, either, because light helps you see things more clearly. David says in Psalm 27:1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation. I will fear no one” (GNT). God is described in two ways: as light and as salvation. Yet many Christians live their lives in fear of rejection, completely ignoring the fact that if God is our salvation, then we have nothing to fear — not even losing the approval of those around us. Living for the approval of others is a miserable way to live. It will cripple your life. But God is your light and salvation!

You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Exodus 20:17 Everything about our culture entices us to want more and to want better things than we already have. We live in the most affluent yet the most unhappy nation in the world. This is the result of removing gratitude from our value system and writing a "more, more, more" attitude in. If we don't want more and strive for more, we're told we somehow don't measure up. The cure for envy and covetousness is found in gratitude and praise to God. Colossians 3:16 tells us that we should "let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." Today I want to bring a word to you to find a new measuring stick for yourself and others-let us

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. Exodus 20:8-10 In Mark 2:27 Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." We live in a generation that works almost constantly, but God in His compassion knew that we needed to rest. He also knew that it would be increasingly difficult for us to slow down and spend time with Him with the many distractions of the world pressing in on us. The Sabbath commandment is a wonderful example of the timeless truths that God handed down to establish walls of protection around our lives and to help us understand how best to interact with others and with Him. God took centuries to boil the commandments down to"love" because we first had to be taught what love meant. The first commandments are about loving God-the commandments that follow are about loving one another and ourselves. I challenge you to put your wor

      The perfection of brotherly love lies in the love of one’s enemies. We can find no greater inspiration for this than the grateful remembrance of the patience of Christ. Posted via email from sistersister's posterous

And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” – Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)

Holy and Magnificent God, thank you for being better than anything my world can offer me. Thank you for calling me to a higher standard than the world accepts. Thank you for giving me the promise of a better future than any human can imagine. Thank you for giving me a high calling. In Jesus’ holy name I pray. Amen.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.   – Psalm 22:1-2 niv It was fitting for Jesus to cry this Psalm out from the cross, for at the moment of his death, he experienced distance from His heavenly Father. Why? Because Jesus was taking on our sin. Our rebellion to a holy God demanded justice, so God Himself came to the earth to take our punishment. But when Jesus rose from the dead, He opened the path to God the Father. Because of the work of Christ at the cross, we no longer are separated from God. He was forsaken so we could be accepted.
