Being Salt

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin

Salt – how are you doing with mixing with the world. Do you accept everything people say, or do you question what people say. If you have a faith in Jesus, then this affects everything you say. If you stay quiet about what you believe and do, then you are worthless for the Kingdom of God. We must follow Jesus, his teaching and the way He acted. This does not give us an excuse to be rude and controversial for the sake of getting one better than the other person. It is about the Kingdom of God, and bringing it to earth. This can only be done with God working through our words and actions.

Passing it on

Posted on April 13, 2012 by admin

What are we doing with our faith? Are we keeping it to ourselves or are we telling others? Another way of looking to tell others is by helping others with our talent and gifts so they can tell people about Jesus. By doing this we are furthering the Kingdom too. Take for example: If you are good at designing and developing websites, then you could provide an evangelist with their own. Perhaps another way if you are not confident at sharing your faith is to get along someone who is.
Action:
How can I help someone today with their ministry?
Could I share something of my faith with someone I know by a few simple words or by helping them in some way.

Leadership?

Posted on April 5, 2012 by admin

People rise up into leadership to tell people about God. Are they doing so well and people are returning to God through their ministry, or are they creating some kind of false ministry where it either becomes an exclusive club or a cult. Jesus is saying that He is the way to God, if we reject Jesus then the whole thing will crumble and crash.
Question: Are we promoting Jesus well in our lives or creating some kind of Godless club?
Reference: Luke 20:8-18

Jesus weeps

Posted on March 30, 2012 by admin

What is your relationship with Jesus? Is it good or non existent? What are the consequences of rejecting Jesus personally, in our community, and nationally? I believe we head down a road to anarchy, where governments become weak, and small pressure groups rule. We kill the unborn and the old. Jesus weeps!

On your own

Posted on March 28, 2012 by admin

When you are on your own what goes through your mind? Is it an opportunity to do secret things that no one can see or know about? If that is you, have you ever thought whether it is a benefit. What if you were to be caught, would it change things for the better or worse? God does care, and He wants us to turn to Him rather than something that is a poor substitute. I know that if you talk to God, He will help you. Jesus died and rose again so you can have freedom.

Are you lost?

Posted on March 27, 2012 by admin

Jesus comes to seek and to save the lost. Are you struggling and feeling lost. Jesus cares about you and is seeking you.
Zacchaeus thought he could find meaning and hope in collecting taxes, making lots of money. Perhaps he felt he could retaliate against those who had been cruel to him over his height. But Jesus was concerned over this man, and what a difference it made, giving half of his goods to the poor and repaying people back four times if he had defrauded them.

Kingdom people

Posted on November 10, 2011 by admin

Being a follower of Jesus means we join others in what is called the Kingdom of God. We all need to act like Jesus, if we do not then what is the point, we might as well behave like the people of the world. Jesus valued all people, and did not treat people harshly unnecessarily, especially those who have a good heart. He stopped for insignificant people who we do not notice. He emphasized the least, rather than the great. How are you treating others, think about how things can be different. Are people treating you harshly, Jesus cares, you are important

A fresh start

Posted on September 5, 2011 by admin

We are blessed with so much. But we place our hopes in these things. Maybe they are things that the world think are important, but our hopes do die and we are left wondering our direction. We need again to invite Jesus back into our lives and let Him do His work in us to make things new again. We need to ask for a fresh vision/start.

Following no matter what

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin

People will not like you when you follow Jesus. They will mock you. They will not think deeply about who you are and what you represent. They will pick up on certain things and will mock and laugh at you. It will be no good explaining for they will not listen, and they will persist in making fun of you. The only thing to do is to remain in prayer for them, to remain quiet and wait for the moment to pass.

Spiritual Blindness

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin

It is amazing that no matter what you do, you cannot get some people to change their views. They will criticize no matter what. Jesus did nothing wrong. He came to seek and to save those who are lost. But man rejects Him and cannot see any deeper than their own shallow lives and views. Oh how I would want this to be different.
