If you think there’s nothing you can do for God’s kingdom today, pray. Pray for God to bear good fruit through your life today. Pray for people who need salvation, who need sanctification, who need encouragement, who need healing. Pray for your church. Pray for your nation. Pray.
God doesn't exist to make all our earthly dreams come true. He saved us to make us holy and to use our lives for his global glory. Our main purpose is to know him and make him known.
My advice to young women is simple
Live for Christ early on, obey him and walk in the spirit. Wait on him and you will have less damage control within your spirit when you are older but even more so than that, HE IS worthy of us taking up our crosses and following Him.
Believers, your main goal in life is not to find personal comfort. Our purpose is to serve our King and make his name known to the world. Let's live for eternity today.
Don't mistake God's patience for his approval of your lifestyle. He's giving you time to repent of your rebellion and return to him.
Turn to him now before you die and the door of grace is closed (Heb. 9:27).
Christians, we must be people of the book.
Read it, study it, and memorize its words. It will benefit you in more ways than you could possibly imagine.
Sin is Like Quicksand
Sin is like quicksand. It's the devil's playground. It lies before the unsuspecting sinner as an unseen deathtrap. As he steps into it, he begins to sink, and with each movement of his flesh, it takes him deeper into its subtle embrace. In a moment, he's gone. Sucked beneath the silence of the grave. Gone forever into the horror of Hell. The only way to get out of quicksand is to have someone, who is not in its power, to pull us out. Thank God that the hand of grace is willing to save us from the terrors of Hell. This is what the Apostle Paul speaks of in Romans chapters 7 and 8. His struggle against the power of sin only took him deeper into its cold embrace. He cried, "Who will free me from this body of death!" and then sang the praise of Him who reached into death itself to pull him out of its grip.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
Rejoice over faithfulness more than being angry over deceitfulness. Praise God for good pastors more than praying God judges false teachers. There is a time for righteous anger and a time to call out falsehood, but not all the time. Instead, all the time rejoice and praise God!
Trump posted this. Blasphemous? In the extreme.
But you know who I blame for this more than Trump? Word-Faith/NAR preachers who have been surrounding him for years. Paula White compared Trump to Jesus just last week. Two of the most prominent SBC pastors, Robert Jeffress and Jack Graham, have given their full support of Paula White. Trump attended Las Vegas International Church some years ago and "Pastor Denise," had Trump come on stage and she said of him, "What I hear the Lord say, 'This is my Son in whom I am well pleased.'"
She not only compared Trump directly to the Son of God, but claimed God as the source of her information. Sheer blasphemy.
Trump is no theologian. These Word-Faith/NAR charlatans and heretics claim to be. And shame on Robert Jeffress and Jack Graham for supporting them. In doing so, they participate in their sin.
