DON'T DENY JESUS

DON'T DENY JESUS DON'T DENY JESUS Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi? Matthew 26:25 NIV (1984 Edition) There are many things that people do in their lives that they do not want to admit to. Denying Jesus is one of them. We may have grown up hearing that we should deny Jesus and that He is not real, but that is not what the Bible says. The Bible says that we should confess our sins to Him and ask for His forgiveness. We should also come to know Him and follow Him. IN A sermon about commitment to Christ, the great preacher Charles Spurgeon said:’ I've known some who preached the gospel with power, but Iived to depart from it altogether. l've known others who discharged the duties of deaconship and eldership with considerable diligence, who have afterwards given way to their evil passions. I've thought some of them to be the holiest of men. while they've been praying they’ve been lifted up to very gates of heaven; if anyone...

DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE; LOVE THEM

DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE; LOVE THEM DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE; LOVE THEM 'Let us stop passing judgment on one another.' Romans 14:13 Instead of judging people, let's love them because judging doesn't help.  It was a simple statement that would be repeated many times in the near future if you were to listen closely to the two people standing beside each other at this moment, but no one would. It had been a month since they’d officially met and both of them already knew their way around the world by heart.  YOU CAN work alongside and pray for someone who’s having an evil intent without  having one yourself. Remember, you were a sinner before you are giving the grace  of God, so act with humility and don t tall into the trap of self-righteous but as  Rosell says, 'When God forgives, He consigns the offense to the everlasting . As you show  grace when you encounter somebody’s whose lifestyle makes you uncomfortable. Learn as much as possible about them, and allow your inter...

HOW TO CONQUER ANGER

HOW TO CONQUER ANGER HOW TO CONQUER ANGER   The Pineapple Story   This is the Missionary Doctor's Pineapple story:    Please Read to the end! The pineapple story took place in Dutch New Guinea. It covered a period of seven years. it is a humorous yet profound illustration of the application of a basic Scriptural principle. As you read this first-hand account, you will discover that a classic example of the type of struggles each of us faces until we learn to apply the principle of yielding personal rights. My family and I work with these people in the bush. One day I decided that I was going to bring in some pineapples. So, I went to another mission station to get them, I got about one hundred plants. Then I got one of the local men to help me with the planting and I paid him with salt or whatever he wanted for the days he worked. It seemed to take awfully long time for those little shoots of pineapple to become big bushes and finally yield pineapples. So finally tha...

7 COMMANDMENTS OF CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE

The 7 Commandments of Christian Marriage   The 7 Commandments of Christian Marriage The following are the biblical rules for Christian marriage: I believe that the faithful preaching of the Word, general pastoring and faithful Christian upbringing are the best preparation for marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. It is intended for the benefit of both husband and wife and is a sign of God's covenant relationship with them. Marriage is a sacred covenant between two people and is an intimate relationship between husband and wife. It is a lifelong commitment, a covenant of love, of faithfulness, of sacrifice, of purity and a covenant of grace.   Below are 7 Marriage Commandments that must be observed. 1. Serve God together and commit to one another deeply. A Christian marriage is about mutual respect and submission. Ephesians 5:21 commands couples to submit to one another out of reverence to Christ. A halfhearted commitment in marriage will not do, you hav...

TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Tithes and Offerings Tithes and Offerings Tithing in the Bible: Scriptures about Giving Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He left the comforts of heaven, took on human flesh, and gave his life on the cross so that we might live in him. In response to Jesus’ generosity, we are called to be generous. We are called to be generous with our money. We are called to steward our possessions. We are called to volunteer our time. No one argues over whether Christians should be generous—it’s what the Christian faith is all about. But when it comes to the definition of tithing in the bible things get … interesting. Over the years, there’s been a ton of ink spilled over whether or not Christians should participate in tithing. Well then, lets have a look at the position of the bible concerning the topic of tithing and offering . Let's take an in-depth look at 14 topics about tithing as stated in the Bible: 1.        What is tithing in the bible? 2. ...

A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE

What is a Christian Marriage?   What is a Christian Marriage? What Is It That Makes A Christian Marriage Different? Marriage has gotten quite a bad reputation over the years. The butt of a seemingly infinite number of jokes, matrimony is a source of endless social commentary, gender politics, and governmental debate .  A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.Michel de Montaigne. And Ambrose Bierce said; Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage. In recent years, marriage has fallen upon particularly hard times. Fewer and fewer people are choosing to marry. In fact, less than half of current modern households are made up of married couples. The percentage of people who have never married is growing while the number of couples living together without marrying is increasing exponentially.  Meanwhile, more and more children are born to single mothers . So, What Makes A Marriage A Christian Marriage? Clearly, Simply Being Religious Or ...

OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS

OVERCOMING TEMPTATION OVERCOMING TEMPTATION There is no easy way to overcome temptation. It takes time, effort, and perseverance. However, there are a few things that you can do to help you resist temptation and stay on track. First, remember that temptation is a sign that you are not fully committed to your goals. If you are struggling with temptation, it means that you are not fully focused on your goal. Resist the temptation to give in to the temptation and focus on your goal.  Second, be aware of your surroundings. When you are faced with temptation, be aware of where you are and who is around you. This will help you stay safe and avoid potential temptation . WHEN  JESUS told Peter he would soon deny his Lord, Peter boasted, Others may, but not me! Yet within a few hours he was swearing and disavowing any knowledge of Jesus. It can happen to any of us. The Bible says,  'Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own [particular] desires and enticed' (James 1:14 ...

THE BIBLE

  The Bible The Bible This is a brief introduction to the Bible – what it is, how it has been put together and what it can mean for people today. Many questions deserve much more space to deal with adequately. I hoped that the following may help those who are starting to think about the Bible to get to grips with some of the initial issues and questions they may have. So, what is the Bible? The Bible is the account of God’s action in the world, and his purpose with all creation. The writing of the Bible took place over sixteen centuries and is the work of over forty human authors. It is quite an amazing collection of 66 books with very different styles, all containing the message God desired us to have. This compilation of booklets contains an astonishing variety of literary styles. It provides many stories about the lives of good and bad people, about battles and journeys, about the life of Jesus, and about early church activity. It comes to us in narratives and dialogu...
