Good Sunday morning! Today’s message is from Ephesians 6:10-18 on the subject Standing Against Evil. Because sooner or later, and sometimes daily, as a Christian we will come face to face with the attacks of Satan. When we do, we must know how to keep standing.

Consider that roughly one-third of the miracles of Jesus include His confrontation and casting out of demons. If you believe the Bible, as I do, you cannot ignore the reality of pure evil in our world. It was true in Jesus’ day, and it is true in ours.

The Bible teaches that Satan is busy destroying peoples’ lives. And while Satan has no authority over the life of a Christian (except for the footholds we give him), his broad influence in our culture is readily apparent. Scripture outlines three levels of Satanic activity: demonic influence (Ananias and Sapphira) , demonic oppression (the thorn in Paul’s flesh), and demonic possession (the lost who are under total control of Evil).

So when we face evil attacks, Ephesians 6 shows us three spiritual steps we need to take as a Christian.

First, we must understand who our true Enemy is. Ephesians 6:12 teaches us something critical. Our enemy not the person hurling the attacks. It’s not the slanderer seeking to drag us down. It’s not the circumstances we find ourselves in. For we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. Our Enemy is Satan and his demonic influence behind those attacks. Understand your Enemy. Satan is your Enemy.

Second, we need to take up the armor our Lord has prepared and provided for us. You’d never go on a grueling journey without being outfitted in the proper gear. You cannot face the attacks and schemes of Satan in your pajamas. Put on the whole armor, Ephesians 6:13 says, so you can stand against the Evil coming against you. Truth. Righteousness. The Gospel. Certainty of your Salvation. Faith. The Word. Prayer. Put these on every day.

Finally, we have to choose to Stand. Don’t turn your back and run. Don’t hide. Don’t try to outmaneuver the Enemy of your soul. The simplicity of Ephesians 6:13 is that when you’ve done all you can, just Stand. Stand in the Lord. Stand in His strength. Stand in His armor and He will fight for you. He will defend you. Having done all you can to prepare, keep standing.

The good news of the Gospel is this: The War between Good and Evil is already won. Jesus Christ has fully and totally defeated Satan, by Christ’s death on the Cross and His Resurrection. Satan is defeated, and we find our strength and our total defense in the Lord.

Christian, when you face the Enemy hold on to this verse from Psalm 27:1:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?”

In Jesus’ Name, you have the victory. Satan has already lost. Have a blessed Lord’s Day!

Keep Standing!

Good Sunday morning! You will always know the root by the evidence of the fruit.

We have flower beds around our home, and they store a constant variety of God’s beauty depending on the season. Earlier this year, a strange plant began to grow and I almost pulled it up by the roots. I had no idea what kind of plant it was, but I let it keep growing. Its stem was woody and tough, almost like an okra plant. Its leaves were large and rough. Frankly, it was ugly. Out of sheer curiosity we just let it mature.

Then one day this ugly plant began to bloom. Suddenly these beautiful red sunflowers began to blossom. The beautiful flowers revealed the inner nature of this ugly plant. On its outside it looked so plain, but deep inside a beauty was growing that could not be contained.

And that’s how it is with us as Christians, too. We who have been born again - born by the Spirit - we may look the same on the outside, we may even have ugly characteristics outwardly. But inwardly we bear within us a new nature whose flower, whose fruit, is going to come eventually come to the surface as we mature. On the outside we may look rough and nothing special. On the inside God is doing a pure miracle of beauty.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-25

As we mature and learn to walk day by day as a Christian, let’s keep on walking as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

Let the Holy Spirit do His work. As we walk in the Holy Spirit, He will:

Replace Hatred with Love;
Replace Misery with Joy;
Replace Sleepless nights with Peace;
Replace Anxiousness with Patience;
Replace Lashing out with Kindness;
Replace Malice with Goodness;
Replace Fear with Faith;
Replace Pride with Humility; and
Replace Aimlessness with Self-Control.

Walk in the Spirit and let His fruit be the evidence of your new life in Him. Have a blessed Lord’s Day!

Good Sunday morning! I’ve been bringing a series of messages on Characteristics of a Christian, and this week we open the Bible to II Timothy 1:13, where Paul instructs Timothy, the next generation: “Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus …”.

In other words, Hold Onto the Truth.

Have you considered that at any given time, the Truth is only one generation away from being forgotten and lost? The Bible is the Truth of God, and as Christians we must hold fast to the Word! Last Sunday I brought a message on the need to develop an appetite for the Word. You can listen to it beginning at the 30 minute mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQvmNzoqPs.

We need to spend time digesting the Word daily. Make it part of your daily routine.

Today I’m sharing the urgent need for Christians to double down on something: Grab hold of the Truth of the Bible and intentionally pass it on to the next generation.

I am so concerned about the slippage and loss of truth between today and the next generation of Believers. Like never before we must grasp and hold onto the Word of God so that we can pass it down to our children and grandchildren.

Don’t miss how important this is for you and your family. The Truth will beat a lie every time, but we must hold onto it and pass it on.

Take your family and children to Church today! Hold onto the Word, in faith and love of Jesus Christ!

Good Sunday morning! I am so thankful for the unchanging Word of God, the Bible. I Peter 1:22-2:3 says:

“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because

“All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”

As Christians, we understand that we are saved by grace! We’ve been born again as we heard the Word and place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

From that point forward, as believers we have the privilege to grow in Christ.

How do we grow? By developing our desire, appetite and discipline for the Word of God. Make it a point - make it a daily habit - just as a baby regularly desires food to grow, desire the Word of God, take it inside of you and grow in the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you today!

Good Sunday morning! It’s a new day, the Lord’s Day, and the Lord wants us to begin a new day in dealing with broken relationships with our fellow Believers. Today I am sharing a message at our church, “Taking Biblical Steps Toward Reconciliation.”

Broken relationships are inevitable, aren’t they? Even among fellow Christian believers, divisions come because of sin and the hardness of our human hearts. While forgiveness from one person to another is always possible, reconciliation of fellowship is not always possible this side of Heaven. Sometimes, circumstances result in relationships that are broken beyond repair this side of Heaven: Toxic people. Abusive situations. Messy divorces. Awful betrayals. Sometimes, healthy boundaries in these irreparable situations are both necessary and appropriate.

But most of the time, broken relationships between fellow Christians can be restored. The break in fellowship usually comes from simple misunderstandings, basic failures to communicate, careless words or actions that hurt far beyond their intent. Broken relationships, broken friendships between Christians can be restored. In fact, Jesus himself teaches us specifically in Matthew 18:15-18, there is hope for restoring broken relationships. Today consider three steps we can take toward reconciliation:

1) A prayerful Private Conversation, Matthew 18:15.

2) A Personal Confrontation with fellow witnesses present, Matthew 18:16.

3) As a last resort, Public Communication through the body of Believers, the church, Matthew 18:17.

The goal of all these steps should be repentance, restoration and reconciliation. That’s not always possible, because the fact is it does “take two” to resolve their differences and move on in agreed fellowship. But what Jesus wants us to understand is this: it should be the heart of every Christian, the goal of every born-again child of God, to seek restoration whenever it is within our ability to do so. It’s a sign of maturity as a Believer!

Read the verses below and ask yourself: “Is there a step toward reconciliation with a fellow Believer, a friend, a family member, I should take?”

Even if it’s not ultimately successful, it’s worth taking that step. Because in doing so we follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ who personally stepped out of Heaven to reconcile us to Himself. And regardless of the result, in prayer you can trust and surrender the entire situation to God. In Jesus Christ, one day, maybe here, maybe in Heaven - there will be reconciliation and fellowship restored. God bless you and yours today!

—————

Jesus said “15 Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’

17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Good Sunday morning! You can’t tell it from this photo, but these horses don’t always get along. Yet somehow they manage to move on and eventually return to a peaceful setting. As Christians, we who have been forgiven by God so very much are called to forgive our brothers and sisters very much and return to fellowship if at all possible.

Yet because forgiveness is a characteristic of God, it goes against every part of our human nature. Our nature screams out for Justice! God’s heart in His children cries for forgiveness. As Christians, we are Learning to Let Go of Unforgiveness.

The parable Jesus told in Matthew 18 is a story about a great and powerful King who was owed an enormous debt by one of His subjects. Ten thousand talents was the equivalent of over 164,000 years’ worth of day’s wages. It was an enormous debt the servant could never in over a hundred lifetimes repay. But the servant begged for the King patience.

The King, from a compassionate heart, released him and forgave him all the debt. For the King, forgiveness was very costly. Yet the indebted servant walked away totally free and forgiven.

The main point of the parable comes in verse 28, which says:

“But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’”

This totally forgiven man had refused to let go of his own heart’s unforgiveness. What’s more, he did to his fellow servant what he had begged not happen to him. He cast him into prison until he could pay back the equivalent of three months’ daily wages.

When the other servants saw it, they reported him to the King. And as you can imagine, the King was very angry. Angry enough to punish the servant intensely until he could repay. Then Jesus said:

“So shall my heavenly Father do unto you, if you from your hearts do not forgive every one his brother their trespasses.”

The first question for you and me is “Have I been forgiven by the King?” Jesus died for us that we might be free and forgiven. Have you received His free gift of salvation? From God’s heart of compassion, He is ready willing and able to free and forgive you.

The second question for us: “Am I carrying around an angry heart filled with unforgiveness toward my family, my friends or my fellow believers?” If we cannot forgive them, we certainly cannot forgive others.

Because of the circumstances, you may never be fully reconciled to them, but can you let the hurt go and forgive, trusting the King to bring justice to the situation in His good time? You can trust God to deal with those who have hurt you so deeply.

And - if you’ve been the one to cause pain to others, will you let God bring you to the point of repentance and confession? Because God does want reconciliation whenever it can happen.

May we all let the heart of God’s forgiveness pe*****te our hearts and change us. May the Lord make us more like Him as we learn to let go of the bitter and angry root of unforgiveness.

Christian, let’s forgive others as Christ has forgiven us. Have a blessed Lord’s Day!

Good Sunday morning! As we prepare to celebrate our Nation’s 250th birthday, and 250 years of American Freedom, we pause this morning to acknowledge, with our founders, that our freedoms come from God. As they expressed so clearly on July 4, 1776, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” They expressed their faith in God with a “firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence.” God was there, July 4, 1776, overseeing the birth of our United States of America!

And the Bible makes it crystal clear in Proverbs 14:34 that “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” That remains absolutely true today!

America has been blessed by God so mightily because America was founded upon God in faith. Our Nation’s foundations are solid. To truly celebrate and preserve our freedom, we Americans must return to those foundations. This morning I’ll be bringing the first of a two-part message “God Blessed America.”” America was birthed on the heels of a great Revival, the Great Awakening. We need another Great Awakening today! God bless you, take your family to church today and thank GOD for our freedom and for eternal Freedom through His only Son, Jesus Christ. Pray for Revival!! Join me in praying for another Great Awakening!
