Love- It's Easier Said than Done





"Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love."-Jeremiah 31:3


It has been sung, " love is a many splendid thing." Oh and it is-- isn't it?! YES INDEED! The warm fuzzies, the lavish gifts, the great times together! The feeling that you are important to whomever and that there is NOTHING that will separate you. Oh but then something(s) happen --which if you know like I know--always expect the enemy to try destroy a good thing, a God thing, and a right thing. Do you remember how that felt when the person just stopped acknowledging you? Remember the pain??? Real love will make you cry saints, but God doesn't excuse us from doing right--even in our tears or fears.

Now, think about how the Father loves. He tells us clearly what He likes and doesn't like and yet we do what we want to, and if we are not careful we will ultimatley reject Him, walk away, and abandon Him. Next thing we know the devil has taken us captive! Question. Could we handle it if God treated us the way we treat one another? Could we handle His disappointment or anger in our lovelessness. I don't think so. So here is the challenge as you share Christ today, prepare to disciple that person in the ways of love. We are taught and trained well regarding sin and the devil when we first come to the LORD, but love God's way isn't always taught or displayed well in some places. If we are going to share Jesus we NEED to learn to love like He commands. Is it easy, not at all. My dad says, "that is what separates adults from children, adults DO hard things." My co-Pastor Nakia posted once, " Excuses are for the uncommitted." Will you commit to loving and forgiving like God does today and beyond?? Those that you lead to Christ and those around you will be thankful and blessed if you DO (-:

The Poor Matter to God


Matthew 11:5

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.


Jesus said we would do the same works that He did and greater works. Those spectacular works are usually the ones that we long to do right!? How many times have we all seen a blind person, a person in a wheel chair, and just wanted to go up to them and tell them to be whole in Jesus name!!! We all have had that burning haven't we? How many times have you gone to a funeral and went up to the coffin and just prayed and really hoped that God would raise that person up?! Oh that God would use us.....Question. Do you have that same burning desire for God to work through you with the beggar, the homeless, the cast aways?? Do we only want to reach and preach in the beautiful areas of the city. Can we preach with the fire of God to those with NO loot in their bank accounts and pockets? God-family, Jesus valued the poor and He made sure they were not left off the preaching circuit. While there is nothing wrong with wealth and beauty, everybody is not wealthy, and every part of town isn't beautiful and smells like freshly cut grass and bar-b-que. Whatever you do in this life for the LORD remember that He preached to ALL people, He touched ALL people, but most of all--He died for ALL people. Don't forget the poor, they need the Gospel and the love and help from US--God's people. We have been called out of darkness saints and blessed to BE a blessing. Remember that the next time you plan an outreach, or see a beggar on the side of the rode, it is a great work indeed (-:

Christ Died for Us



I Peter 3:18

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,


THIS is the most wonderful time of the year!!! A time to reflect and rejoice in the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Jesus didn't have to do it but He did! We have the greatest reason to be thankful all year around because Jesus died for our sins AND He also rose from the grave!!! There is VICTORY for us in CHRIST!!!! REJOICE!!!
