Prayer

God does not want to get us to a place where we don't have to pray about anything, but instead to a place where we have to pray about everything.

Be Ye Separate

The world wants us to look like 'em and talk like 'em, and act like 'em, but the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 that we are to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?  (15)  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  (16)  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  (17)  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,  (18)  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Dead Churches

I've come to understand that it takes spiritually dead people to maintain spiritually dead churches.

World Wants vs. God Wants

The world wants us to look like 'em and talk like 'em, and act like 'em, but God says through the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?  (15)  What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?  (16)  What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."  (17)  "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."  (18)  "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

Jeremiah 8:11

What a warning this verse is for today.

Jeremiah 8:11 "They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. gPeace, peace,h they say,
when there is no peace."

Absolute Truth

Today, we are taught that truth is relative, subjective and that there are no absolutes. I wonder if they are absolutely sure about that?

No New Commandment

1 John 2:7-11 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.  (8)  Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.  (9)  He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.  (10)  He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.  (11)  But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

We need to be honest with God and confess our feelings of hatred for another person, so that God can replace our hatred with His love.

Hate kills both the person who you hate, but also yourself as well. Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
