The gospel is exciting 03 APRIL 2019 ‘The gospel…is the power of God unto salvation.’ Romans 1:16 KJV 0:00 One Sunday a lady fell asleep in church. Pointing to the man sitting next to her, the pastor said, ‘Please wake that lady up.’ The man replied, ‘Sorry, Pastor. You put her to sleep – you wake her up!’ Seriously, Paul tells us ‘the gospel…is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes’ (NKJV). The Greek word for ‘power’ is d u namis, from which we get the word dynamite. Talk about impact! The gospel changes people profoundly. Chuck Swindoll says: ‘The gospel is like a sword sharpened on the stone of Scripture and tempered in the furnace of reality, relevance, and need. Of all the reactions a person may have to it, I can think of none worse than a yawn, a sleepy “so what”, or a bored “who cares?” Jesus met people where they were. His word touched raw nerves. His preaching was a lot more “here-and-now” than it was “there-and-then”. He attacked hypocrisy a...

He’s working all things out for your good 01 APRIL 2019 ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.’ Romans 8:28 NIV 0:00 Paul begins this verse by saying: ‘And we know.’ There are so many things in life we don’t know. We don’t know if the economy will dip or how our kids will turn out. We don’t even ‘know what we ought to pray for’ (v. 26 NIV 2011 Edition). But we can ‘know’ these four things: 1) ‘God works.’ Even though you can’t see Him, He’s busy behind the scenes. He hasn’t checked out or moved on. He’s ceaseless, tireless, and He never stops working. 2) ‘God works for the good.’ Not for our comfort, pleasure, or entertainment, but for our ultimate good. But then again, He is the ultimate good, so would you expect anything less? 3) ‘God works for the good of those who love Him.’ Behold the benefit of a loving God! Make His story your story, and your story takes on a happy ending. Guaranteed! 4) God works ‘in all things’. God works...

The Debt of Love by Chuck Musselwhite | Feb 18, 2019 | Devotional | 0 comments The average American owes $2300 in credit card debt. That is taking all of the credit card debt and dividing it by the number of people. In reality, most people owe a lot more than that because not everyone has a credit card. I know a lot of you don’t live in the United States, but it is an excellent example of how much debt a person can have. The Apostle encourages us not t o owe anyone anything except the debt of love. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:8‬ Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law… 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Pay that Debt I think this is a cool way to say that we need to love our neighbor. Think of love as a debt we owe to those around us. Are you paying that debt on a consistent basis? Are there people in your life where that debt is growing large? Do something today to get ...

INSPIRATIONAL QIOTES FOR THE DAY

People often come to me and ask me to pray for them, that they would discover God’s will for their life. I already know God’s will for their life – heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, cleanse lepers. They say, ‘Yes, but I need to know if I should be a schoolteacher or a missionary.’ I say, ‘Well, just pick one, and then heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, cleanse lepers.’ Or they will say, ‘I just don’t know whether I should be married or should be single.’ I reply, ‘What do you want to be?’ ‘I really want to be married.’ ‘Then get married... and heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, cleanse lepers.

A Word Wisely Spoken by Chuck Musselwhite | Feb 5, 2019 | Devotional | 0 comments There is too much noise in the world today. Everyone has an opinion and a criticism of someone else. In an effort to be heard we have to be louder and more controversial than the previous person. Social media has made it too easy to pounce on people you don’t agree with. It is rare when someone comes in and speaks with wisdom and even more unusual when the timing is right. A word wisely spoken is more valuable than silver or gold. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:11‬ “A word spoken at the right time is like gold apples in silver settings.” The writer of this Proverb drops some much-needed wisdom on the world today. With words being thrown around carelessly to provoke or injure, the person who speaks wisdom at  the right time is a rarity. Gold apples in silver settings is a figure of speech to indicate something that is not only rare but valuable. Only the rich could have a decoration like gold appl...

Set Free to Grow by Chuck Musselwhite | Jan 24, 2019 | Devotional | 0 comments One of my favorite things to do is to shop at a farmer’s market. The selection of fruit and vegetables along with the unique crafts from vendors make it a unique experience. Fruit is a metaphor that is used in the Bible multiple times to represent growth and new life. When we are set free the snares of sin, we are set free to grow. Romans‬ ‭6:22‬ “But now, since you have been set free from sin and have become enslaved to God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification — and the outcome is eternal life!” ‬ Set Free When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, we are set free from the chains of sin. That doesn’t mean we won’t sin anymore, but the penalty of death that sin brings is broken. We can walk in spiritual freedom because our destiny is determined and we set free to grow in our relationship with Jesus. Set Apart That process of growth is called sanctification....

Meet Noah: A Righteous Man The Bible Says Noah Was Blameless Among the People of His Time Share Flipboard Email  Noah Building the Ark by Vittorio Bianchini. SuperStock / Getty Images by Mary Fairchild Updated April 13, 2017 In a world taken over by evil, violence, and corruption, Noah was a righteous man. However, Noah wasn't just a righteous man; he was the only follower of God left on the earth. The Bible says he was blameless among the people of his time. It also says he walked with God. Living in a society saturated with sin and rebellion against God, Noah was the only man alive that pleased God. It's hard to imagine such unwavering faithfulness in the midst of total godlessness. Over and over again, in the account of Noah, we read, "Noah did everything just as God commanded." His life of 950 years, exemplified obedience. During Noah's generation, the wickedness of man had covered the earth like a flood. God decided to resta...

What Is God Like?   July 1, 2018   Read: Hebrews 1:1–10 | Bible in a Year: Job 20–21; Acts 10:24–48 00:00  Download MP3 Subscribe to iTunes The Son is . . . the exact representation of [God’s] being. Hebrews 1:3 To celebrate a special occasion, my husband took me to a local art gallery and said I could choose a painting as a gift. I picked out a small picture of a brook flowing through a forest. The streambed took up most of the canvas, and because of this much of the sky was excluded from the picture. However, the stream’s reflection revealed the location of the sun, the treetops, and the hazy atmosphere. The only way to “see” the sky was to look at the surface of the water. Jesus is like the stream, in a spiritual sense. When we want to see what God is like, we look at Jesus. The writer of Hebrews said He is “the exact representation of [God’s] being” (1:3). Although we can learn facts about God through direct statements in the Bible such as “Go...

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR THE DAY

The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it - and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they Christians take in politics. By Charles Grandison Finney. Stay blessed. Source: AZ QUOTES.

Blessing in the Mess   June 18, 2018   Read: Genesis 28:10–22 | Bible in a Year: Nehemiah 10–11; Acts 4:1–22 00:00  Download MP3 Subscribe to iTunes He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 I got myself into this mess, so I’d better get myself out, I sometimes find myself thinking. Although I believe in a God of grace, I’m still prone to act as if His help is available only when I deserve it. God’s first encounter with Jacob is a beautiful illustration of how untrue this is. Jacob had spent a lifetime trying to alter his destiny. He’d been born second at a time when firstborn sons typically received their father’s blessing—believed to guarantee future prosperity. So Jacob decided to do whatever it would take to get his father’s blessing anyway. Eventually, he succeeded—through deceit—obtaining the blessing intended for his brother (Genesis 27:19–29). But the price wa...
