Sin Against Brothers …there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 1 Corinthians 12:25 Being a Christian doesn’t prevent you from sinning—it just gives you the power to resist and overcome it through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 3:23 tells us, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It doesn’t matter if you attend church faithfully, if you’re a pastor or if you’re the pope—everyone sins and everyone needs the forgiveness of God. Christians in the church at Corinth were cheating and sinning against their brothers and sisters. Church members were taking advantage of other members, even though they were supposed to be demonstrating God’s love to a lost world. Paul rebukes them for these things in 1 Corinthians 6:7-8. There can’t be true fellowship when there is church division. Posted via email from sistersister's posterous

Today is in God’s hands and so are you. His hands are strong and will uphold you; His hands are great and will enfold you; His hands are gentle and will embrace you; His hands are protective and will cover you; His hands are reassuring and will quiet you; His hands are powerful and will defend you; His hands are parental and will train you; His hands are masterful and will conform you; His hands are compassionate and will care for you; His hands are healing and will renew you; His hands are calming and will comfort you; His hands are giving and will bless you. The hands that hold you will never let you down

"Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. This is the verse I utter when I don’t know what to say. Have you ever had a time when you were so blessed that you were speechless? That’s the time I remember this verse. We are told to hide the Word in our hearts. If we have the Word in our hearts we will not have a dirty joke or curse words jumping out of our mouth. Let’s examine this verse. Our “soul” is to bless the Lord. “All that is within me” is to bless the Lord. This raises the question of what’s within me. The Holy Spirit is in borne again folks, This is the reason lost folks don’t “bless the Lord”. Lost people bless their self, other people, and even the government but not God! Now I challenge you to find out what, “to bless.” means. When you do, then you can “bless the Lord”. Remember, we love you."

      Prayer, real prayer, requires discipline; it requires making time for moments of silence every day. Often it means waiting for the Lord to speak. Posted via email from sistersister's posterous

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. – 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (NIV)

http://www.holleygerth.com/ " target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;"> When You Need to be Strong I look at the days ahead and wonder what they hold. Don't we all? And then these words make their way to my heart: "Go in the strength you have...am I not sending you?" Judges 6:14 We don't have to... wait to overcome our weaknesses, complete the ten point improvement plan, figure everything out. The strength we already have is all the strength we need. Because we have a limitless God within us who loves us. As is. And He promises to stick by us. All the way.

So What did Jesus say about a man knowing the final day? “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:36-39) Posted via email from sistersister's posterous
