God's Spoken Ways

Christ Jesus is our Way Maker. It is through Him that we have life and have it more abundantly. It is not through education, knowledge, or our abilities, but through placing our faith and trust in God.
Christ is the Bread of Life, and through Him we will never hunger and never thirst, for He sustains us every day of our lives as we abide in Him. His grace is sufficient, His provision is unfailing, and His presence guides us through every day of life.

Rev. Dr. Cecil E. Barry
�"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)

Love must operate the same way for both persons. It cannot be different. What I am willing to do for you, you must be willing to do for me. When I am willing to honor your needs and desires, you must be willing to honor mine, and vice versa. So our love, giving, caring, and doing for each other flows freely in both directions. We cannot take each other's love for granted, for true love is not selfish. Rather, it is built upon trust, truth, faith, respect, and caring for one another. Love is meant to be experienced and enjoyed by both.

God is love, when we give our lives to Him, walk in Christ Jesus, and surrender ourselves to God's Will, we come to understand His love and discover the true meaning of love and its joy. As that understanding grows, we desire to experience His love every day. It becomes part of our daily lives, we seek it from the moment we awaken, throughout the course of the day, and as we lie down at night. Love fills every aspect of our lives. We long to express it, receive it, share it, and rejoice in its presence each and every day. Love is everything…..

It is all about the condition of our heart. When our heart is right with God, goodness flows from within us and is reflected in our thoughts, words, and actions. However, when our heart is hardened or lukewarm, the things that emerge from us will not please God. When we surrender our lives to Christ Jesus, we must ask God to give us a new heart and renew a steadfast spirit within us. As God transforms us from the inside out, goodness will flow from our lives, praise will continually rise from our spirit, and others will witness the change that only God can bring in us. Amen!

One of the most challenging things for a believer is to fear God so we are not wise in our own eyes. The fear of God keeps us from thinking too highly of ourselves. It humbles our hearts and reminds us of our dependence on God. The fear of God keeps us from living carelessly in sin, assuming there are no consequences because we are under grace. While God’s grace is abundant, it was never intended to be a license for sin. Under grace, we must grow in wisdom, learn to shun sin and evil, and pursue righteousness. As we walk in obedience and without sin, we gain a greater confidence in our salvation.
