GOD'S COMMANDMENTS

How do you decide whether or not something is good or evil? Do you feel like such concepts matter in an “enlightened” society? Perhaps the doctors...

1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Thank you all brothers and sisters for your LOVE and ADMIRATION for the true WORD of GOD.

Valentine’s Day can never teach humanity how to love. It can’t even point them in the right direction to find love. It is a festival for lust-filled people full of covetousness, not lovers.
The Bible tells us “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16). God knows how to love. Everything He does is love. He loves all humanity deeply and wants us to live His way of love.

THE "LUST" DAY
Most people celebrate Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to show romantic love to one special person. Children are encouraged to give heart-shaped cards called valentines to schoolmates as a show of friendship. Adults give valentines to each other as well. Valentine card asks the question, “Will you be my Valentine?” Does the word valentine have anything to do with love?
But having s*x is one of the strongest motivations for observing Valentine’s Day—especially among young people. A recent survey conducted by pcm Lifestyle showed that when men were asked what they wanted for Valentine’s Day, 70 percent of those surveyed said all they wanted was s*x. When you consider all the aspects of Valentine’s Day, the materialism and the promiscuity, it is a festival of lust—not love.

The Joy of God's Peace
by John McArthur

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:2).

Nothing you face today is beyond the purview of God’s grace and peace.

Paul's wonderful benediction for grace and peace was ever on his heart. He offered it in each of his epistles and expounded on it throughout his writings.

Grace is the outpouring of God's goodness and mercy on undeserving mankind. Every benefit and provision you receive is by God's grace. That's why Peter called it "the manifold grace of God" (1 Pet. 1:10). Just as your trials are manifold or multifaceted, so God's multifaceted and all-sufficient grace is correspondingly available to sustain you.

Peace, as used in Philippians 1:2, speaks of the calmness and absence of strife characteristic of one in whom God's grace is at work. The New Testament also links it to mercy, hope, joy, and love. To experience those graces is to experience true peace.

It is said that when Bible translators were seeking a word or phrase for "peace" in the language of the Chol Indians of South Mexico, they discovered that the words for "a quiet heart" gave just the meaning they were looking for. That's an appropriate parallel because peace guards the soul against anxiety and strife, granting solace and harmony.

Colossians 3:15 says, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body." In Philippians 4:6-7 Paul says to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Although "grace to you and peace" was a common greeting in the early church, it was an uncommon experience in the unbelieving world. The same is true today because only those who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ receive grace and peace.

Are you experiencing God's peace? Remember, nothing you face today is beyond the purview of God's all- sufficient grace and surpassing peace.

Suggestions for Prayer

Read Ephesians 2:14-18 and praise God for Christ, who is your peace, and for His gracious work on your behalf.
