BENEFITS OF THE LIVING GOD
When choosing a #credit #card or an #insurance #policy, do you check out the #benefits or the #rewards associated with their #terms? I know when deciding on a plan you look at the penalties, and fees associated with your commitment. Your signature means you are trusting them to keep their written word on rewards and benefits! I know there is one written Word, the Bible in which I place my trust. “Bless the LORD..forget not all HIS BENEFITS: who forgives all my iniquities and heals my diseases by redeeming my life from destruction and crowns me with lovingkindness and tender mercies. . .Mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him… and to those who keep His commandments” Psalm 103:2-4,17,18 When you sign on with the our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ there are conditions to those benefits and rewards stated in Hebrews 11::6 “Without faith it is impossible to please Him; for anyone who comes to GOD must believe that GOD IS and HE IS THE REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM..” Matthew 6:4 “Father God who sees in secret shall REWARD you openly” 5:12 “REJOICE and be exceeding GLAD: for GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN” By faith CHOOSE you this day the LORD’s written Word sealed with the blood of His son JESUS CHRIST. GOD gives us free will to accept or reject His loving sacrifice to cover our sins for all eternity. I have activated my commitment with Jesus with all God’s benefits. HAVE YOU?

#Want and #need, do you know the difference? If you put the wrong emphasis on verses like this you wind up with what is called a #prosperityGospel. Like we talked about last week, the motive matters. We don’t give to receive, we give to honor God and as a result we receive all our needs. Have you ever prayed to God for a thing you thought you needed only to realize later that it was really a want? Are all of our needs good things? Do we sometimes need correction? What does it mean when the Bible says ‘according to His riches in glory?’ Well, I haven’t met or heard of a rich man yet who can afford to create a planet full of biodiversity much less a universe. Oh and don’t forget the qualifier at the end that Paul loves to use – in Christ.

#Multitasking, are Christians told to be #spiritual or #practical? Actually, it is both. Does God use temporary things to accomplish eternal things? Is it only money that Christians are asked to give? Are only the poor truly spiritual? What made the church at Philippi such a joyous one? If Paul was joyful in poverty or abundance, why was he grateful for the Philippians’ gift and what it meant for them? Does the amount of or the motives behind the gift matter more to God?

The Joy of Jesus – Serenity In Your Contemplation – Lessons For Learning – About Enablement

#Codependency and #enablement have become buzzwords for a #toxic type of relationship. But, the #Bible tells us that it is a matter of where we focus our dependency. Philippians 4:13 is one of my favorite verses. “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Why do you think that there are so many self help books? We all need help sometimes and while we can do some things ourselves and others can assist us at times, Christ offers us the ultimate boost. Have you ever thought there is nothing I can do about that? Does this mean a Christian should push ahead with confidence without education or experience? Does that mean we have the power to do reckless or immoral acts? How does this promise apply to non-believers and God’s will? As a Believer in Jesus Christ wanting to do God’s will, what are some examples of the things with which we can expect to be enabled? What are the two things that we need to do to receive this power?
