We Believe…

In the Holy Christian Bible (both Old & New Testaments) as the Divine inspired inerrant Word of God, the revelation of His mind and will to man, our infallible, all sufficient guide for salvation and for Christian life (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). In one God, the Creator of all, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is true God and true man begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and that He has a perfect and sinless humanity (John 1:1; Philippians 2:6; Matthew 1-23-25; 1John 3:5). In the total depravity of the nature of man through his fall in the Garden of Eden, and the absolute inability of man to save himself from eternal punishment by his own works (Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:8-9). In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved (1Thess. 4:17); and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (Rev. 20:11-15). In the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary, through which sacrifice Christ has effected complete and eternal redemption, God setting His seal of approval on the work of Christ by raising Him from among the dead, enthroned Him at His own right hand in Heaven and that He is the Head of the Church, the Lord of the individual, the High Priest over the House of God and Advocate in the family of God. In the immediate and eternal salvation of every person who truly believes on Christ and by faith rests on His finished work as the only righteous ground on which a Holy God can forgive his sins. That all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as savior are born again of the Holy Spirit, indwelt by the Holy Spirit and by the Holy Spirit baptized into the body of Christ, the Church, of which He is the risen and ascended Head (1Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18). That the early Church met together and “continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). – God’s pattern for the Church today. In the personal, imminent, and premillennial coming of the Lord to the air to Rapture (catch up) the Church (1Thess. 4:13-17), and

In the revelation of Christ in glory at His Second Advent to the earth to establish His kingdom on earth and to reign in righteousness (2Thess. 1:6-10; Phil. 2:9-11).

Listening to God

Proverbs 2:1–7

Learning to listen to God is an essential part of following His will. He speaks to His children through . . .

► Scripture. The Bible is a rich revelation of who God is—His character, His promises, and His purposes (2 Tim. 3:16–17). It is an invaluable source that can help Christians discover what He is like and develop trust in Him. As we take in His Word, we can listen for the ways He might be directing us to apply it.

► Prayer. God designed prayer to be a conversation, not a monologue. When we bring our heart to Him, we should linger—making space for Him to speak into our stillness (Ps. 46:10).

► Circumstances. Throughout Scripture, the Lord revealed His ways to men and women through their circumstances—and He hasn’t stopped. Situations change, but our God does not.

► Others. Church Elders, friends, and mentors can all speak truth into our life. The Lord places believers in community so they can be encouraged, challenged, and helped.

In order to reach His children, God uses all four of these avenues, often working through two or more simultaneously. Our part is to stay attentive—always remembering that a message from the Lord will agree with His Word. What might He be saying to you today?

Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

When my children became teenagers, they did not necessarily do what I told them to do – they began to do what I did! Before long every parent begins to see in their children not the values or lessons they have tried to teach, but the behavior they have modeled. Luke’s Gospel tells us that Jesus grew in mind, body, and spirit. He grew up to be like His Father and to be about His Father’s business.
The time Jesus spent with God the Father shaped His life. The time our children spend with us will shape their lives, too. So make sure your behavior and life priorities model a genuine relationship with the Heavenly Father. You will be helping your children grow as Jesus did, and to be about the Father’s business.

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭52‬ ‭

In the state of Texas, to hear about someone who has the cattle on a thousand hills gets attention! But what is God really saying here?
Although the Israelites were faithfully bringing their sacrifices to God He recognized they were merely going through the motions. In essence, He told them “I don’t need your sacrificial animals. All animals are Mine!”
What God wanted was their hearts. If we’re not careful, we can find ourselves going through the motions just like the Israelites.
Ask God to give you a heart for Him, and then give it right back to Him in your heartfelt worship.

“For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭50‬:‭10‬ ‭

How Can God Use Someone Like Me?

ACTS 16:14-15
Lydia welcomed Paul and his companions into her home. As a new believer and a businesswoman in Philippi, she immediately understood that her resources—her home, hospitality, and influence—could serve the kingdom. By opening her doors to traveling ministers in need of rest and a base for their work, she provided a place where the gospel could take root in her city.
God's plan for every believer is made up of a lifetime of opportunities. No matter what our career or calling may be, we should each seek ways to serve the Lord daily. We do this by ministering-wherever we are—to family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers (Rom. 12:10-13).
The Lord gives His children gifts and talents suitable for fulfilling His purposes, so we know He wants to use us. You can be sure that when you make yourself available to follow Him in any circumstance, He'll equip you with the right tools for the task.
Are you ready to say, "Yes, God can use me"? If so, then tell the Lord you are available to work for Him in any way He desires. He will respond by placing people and opportunities in your path. Through His strength, you will do more to further the kingdom than you ever imagined—one day and one small act of service at a time.

Be Believing!!

“The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.””
‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬ ‭

You probably know the story of Thomas, who is famous for his doubt of Jesus’ resurrection. The other disciples had already seen the resurrected Jesus, but Thomas refused to believe until he had seen and touched Jesus. When Jesus came through a locked door and said, “Peace be with you!” and told Thomas to touch Him and stop doubting, Thomas was finally convinced. Some of us are like Thomas. We would like to believe, but we just will not overcome our doubt. I pray that you will put your doubt aside and believe. Believe in Jesus for salvation. Believe that He loves you. Believe that He has a good plan for your life. Believe that you can trust Him with your anxiety, disappointments, and your frustrations. Repent of your doubt, say yes to God, and believe.

“Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.””
‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭

A Plan and a Purpose

"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."

GENESIS 50:20

In September 1928, Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming returned to his laboratory after a holiday. Before leaving, he had prepared some culture plates and set them aside. Upon returning, he discovered that a fungus had grown on one plate and had killed off the organisms surrounding it. His observation led to the discovery of penicillin, one of the most important medical breakthroughs in history.

Sometimes unplanned events in our lives become a blessing not only for us but for many others besides. That happened when Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and was taken to Egypt. He became the second-most-powerful person in the nation because of God's blessing. When God revealed to him that a famine was coming, he created a strategy to save Egypt. But his plan also saved his brothers and their families who migrated from Canaan to Egypt for food. What the brothers meant for evil against Joseph, God used to save their lives.

When unforeseen events occur, stop and ask the Lord to show you His plan and purpose. Ask the Lord to turn your most difficult trials into blessings to you and to others.

Some of us have a hard time with grace. It just seems too easy to believe in Jesus and then make decisions on your own. Shouldn’t Christians be required to live a certain way to please the Lord? The problem with this reasoning is that it mixes legalism with grace by saying, “Sure, we are saved by grace, but after salvation, you’d better follow the rules if you want to stay in God’s favor.” Grace is a far greater and more powerful motivator than the law. If you have to perform certain works in order to please God, guilt is your constant companion because you can never be good enough (Eph. 2:8-9 Every time you fail to live up to your own expectations, you may question whether the Lord loves you—or maybe even whether you’re really saved. Our Father doesn’t want us to live in bo***ge to performance. We’ve already received His acceptance, and there is nothing more we can add to it. Grace not only sets us free from guilt but also motivates us to obey the Lord and serve Him out of love and gratitude for everything He’s done for us. Instead of feeling burned out or trapped in fear, we will have a burning passion for Him. When you truly understand and live in God’s grace, you’ll be energized because obedience and service will be a natural result of His overflowing love.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

What if the most dangerous thing a false prophet does is not lie to you outright, but just leave something out? John writes in 1 John 4:1, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" .They are out there on the radio and on television and in the bestselling books. And what makes them so hard to catch is not that everything they say is wrong. It is that they say just enough truth to keep you from noticing what they are not saying. They will talk about Heaven, but never about hell. They will talk about the love of God, but never about the holiness of God. They will talk about redemption, but they will never ask you to repent. The words you will hear most often are love, acceptance, compassion, and Jesus. The words you will almost never hear are holiness, judgment, repentance, and hell. And the only critical word that ever crosses their lips is when they are criticizing someone else for telling you the truth. A doctor who only tells you what you want to hear is not being kind. He is being dangerous.

“And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭11‬ ‭

Our outlook determines our outcome. For example, Abraham looked up at the stars, recalling God’s covenant promise to him. He became the friend of God. Lot fixed his gaze on S***m and its promise of riches and pleasure. He became a friend of the world. When S***m was destroyed, Lot lost everything, while by faith Abraham inherited an eternal city in the heavens, made by God. Two different outlooks – two different outcomes. Abraham had an enlightened outlook. Lot had a dim one.
How is your outlook? Like Lot’s, is it dimly fixed on the world with its empty promises and pleasures? Or is it like Abraham’s, enlightened by the Holy Spirit and focused on things above with the fulness of God’s promises? When our outlook is heavenward, our outcome will be the glorious inheritance of life with God in Christ Jesus today and forever

Ephesians 1:18-19
“the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. “

The “marks” Paul received for his faith and ministry in Christ were dramatic. He received 39 lashes five times from the Jews. He was beaten with rods three times. He was stoned once and shipwrecked on three occasions. He experienced hunger, thirst, and all sorts of hardships. While none of us can match Paul’s physical marks, we will be marked by what rules our lives. What are the marks of a Christian? Mercy, Love, Faith, Patience, Forgiveness, Truthfulness — to name a few. So I ask you: Can others tell by the marks on your life that you follow Christ? Is your character being conformed to His? Are His priorities your priorities? In other words, is there enough of Jesus in your life to give yourself away as belonging to Him? If not, give Him rule of your life so you will be forever marked as His.

“From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭
