Warning About Serving God
God calls us to love and serve Him with all our hearts. But never ever should we make serving God a higher priority than loving Him and spending time in His presence praising, worshiping, adoring, crying out to, praying to, pouring our hearts out to, seeking, hearing, experiencing, enjoying, drawing near to, fellowshipping with, and communing with God and reading the Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ is to be our FIRST LOVE, and serving God should be fruit of our love for Him.
“Nevertheless I have th...
God Would Never Say This!
If you believe God has spoken something to your heart that goes against what the Bible says, you have not heard from God! God never ever speaks against the Bible which is His Word!
WARNING! If you are not studying the Bible on an ongoing basis, you will not be able to figure out the voice of God and know when God is speaking to you and when He is not!
So much of this world is living with its back turned to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible! Turn to Jesus, read the Bible every day, hear it prea...

Facing Struggles
We have two major choices when we go through life’s struggles. We can cry out in prayer to the Lord and receive His love, compassion, care, comfort, wisdom, and guidance and yield ourselves to Him as He grows and transforms us and draws us to Himself. Or we can turn our backs to God, suffer through our struggles apart from Him, and miss out on all He desires to do for us, in us, with us, and through us.
Struggling? Cry out to God and surrender all to the Lord Jesus Christ!
“But know that the LOR...
Warning About The Bible
Here is a dire warning about the Bible. Reading the Bible and hearing the Bible preached which we should do on an ONGONIG BASIS is NOT ENOUGH!
How can this possibly not be enough? WE NEED TO BE READERS AND HEARERS – AND DOERS – OF THE BIBLE!
We need to LIVE BY IT.
ARE YOU?
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and imme...

What Is God Telling You To Do?
God speaks to His children through the Bible, by His Holy Spirit to our hearts in line with the Bible, through fellow followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, in dreams and visions, through preaching, and in any manner He so chooses.
What is God telling you to do? I encourage you to humble yourself before the Lord, cry out to Him in prayer, seek His presence, seek His voice, measure what you hear against the Bible because God only and always speaks in line with it, AND OBEY THE LORD.
Hearing God is N...

I Love You God But –
I love you God but I don’t want to spend time with you. I love you God but I don’t want to obey you. I love you God but I don’t want to live for you. I love you God but I don’t want to honor, praise, worship, serve, and glorify you. I love you God and I believe your only Son Jesus died on the cross for me and was raised from the dead but I have more important things to do than to humble myself and read the Bible and follow Jesus.
I used to live like this but God led me to repentance and set me s...

Sacrificing Your Time
Imagine my surprise as a totally devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ who loves and serves God with all my heart when He called me to make an even greater sacrifice of my time for Him in my ministry work. I already don’t go on vacations, have a social life, and pursue most of life’s pleasures. My response? Of course!
If we truly believe Jesus Christ is Lord and died on the cross and was raised from the dead as we should, we should never ever hold back any sacrifice God almighty asks of us i...
This Is Not Your Business
“This is not your business,” the Holy Spirit of God who lives in followers of the Lord Jesus Christ told me. “Please stay out of it.”
My goodness! I was only trying to help someone! Problem was I was NOT doing God’s will for me and was distracted from God and using up time I should have taken to do God’s will instead.
No matter how good we may think our motives in helping someone, getting involved with something, addressing a situation, etc., IF IT IS NOT GOD’S WILL FOR US, IT IS NOT OUR BUSINES...

Joy & Obedience
An everlasting relationship with God instead of going to hell is for those who TURN from a lifestyle of sin, believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and in His death and resurrection, and SURRENDER TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS.
We must TURN TO GOD AND HIS WAYS and live in OBEDIENCE to Him which can be extraordinarily hard especially when so much of this world is turned away from God.
But TOTAL DEVOTION to the Lord and OBEDIENCE to Him go hand in hand with a deeply intimate forever LOVE RELATIONSHIP with Jes...
