Be Kind One to Another

Whoops, this one got stuck in the cloud.  Shoutout to the #Kid on this message.  Who could be against #kindness?  Most people like to think that they are kind.  Are there different types of kindness?  Are there limits to our natural kind tendencies?  What level of kindness are Christians supposed to show others?  On what should it be based?  What role does the Holy Spirit play?  What does it have to do with patience, compassion, service, and the undeserving?  What does kindness not involve? Have you ever heard of the three pronged test about what you should say?  Is there such a thing as counterfeit kindness?  What is the goal of Christian kindness?

THE LIVING GOD – DAY

from Barbara's Bible

In #America we have named a #day for all sorts of #events, #animals, and #people.  As a child (many moons ago) I only remember about 8 days during a year that were celebrated; however today it seems everyday has been labeled for someone or something.  While reading God’s Word, the Bible I am amazed by the coming Day of the Lord.  Time passes so much faster for me with each passing year, so I can only image God’s calendar.  11Peter 3:8-15 “beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some me are; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance  THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME as a thief in the night; the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing that all these things shall be destroyed, what manner of persons ought we to be in all our living as we look for and earnestly desire the COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD….nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells…..We are to look for such things and be diligent that we may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless through (Jesus Christ) considering  the long-suffering of our LORD IS SALVATION.   Yes, there will be a Day of Reckoning –the Bible tells me so!  Is the Lord on your Daytimer?

Are You a Christian Mother?

      19820509 Are You A Christian Mother? - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

We are going to take a break this week from the One Another series (just one left) to recognize that Sunday is #Mother’sDay.  You’re welcome for the reminder.  Do you agree with the statement, ‘as the home goes, so goes Society”?  Who is at the center of the home?  What are some of the ways modern culture tries to cut away at the Biblical role of mothers?  What can men do to support the women in their life to be a Christian mother?  What does a Christian mother have to do with leading in worship, teaching the Word, and being an example of Grace?  How does the challenge of motherhood make it easier to undermine that role?  Who should support mothers?  What contribution can be made by mothers to the Kingdom of God?

THE LIVING GOD – I COME

from Barbara's Bible

While attending college at #Wayland in #Plainview, #Texas, Tommy (later to become my husband) had the privilege of being a summer missionary in #Jamaica.  This gave him a lifelong love for the people which prompted him to lead the church he pastored to go, serve, share, and teach the Bible there each summer.  All of our family were privileged to be apart of  those trips which made a lasting imprint on each of our lives.  I remember the Jamaican people walking, singing, and talking with a joyful spirit.  As I would say, “Please come at 10:00a.m. for Bible School”  The reply would always be, “Me soon come!”  You see, they walked dirt paths over hills, valleys and streams to get to their destination and most did not have watches.  They would arrive, but not always on our timetable.  That has been a profound lesson for me when I think of God’s coming again when He returns on His time!   Hebrews 10:9-20 “I COME TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.  He takes away the first, that He may establish the second…..by which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”  In His time, Jesus came once as our substitutionary sacrifice, but shall come again (on His time clock) to redeem His own!  Rev. 22:12-13 JESUS SAID, “BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY, and My reward is with me to give to every man according to his works.  I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END”  And ‘that’s all folks’   Jamaicans got it right with their phrase — Me Soon Come!
