We are Never Abandoned

ENCOURAGEMENT !!!: We are Never Abandoned: Christ will never abandon those for whom He has died. We may leave Him and be overwhelmed with temptation, but Christ can never turn from ...

Arms of Love

Dear friend, Jesus put His arms of love about us and took the punishment of Calvary. When we see His great love, temptation loses its force, and we are drawn to accept His power to keep us from stalling (sinning).

ENCOURAGEMENT !!!: The Ultimate Sacrifice

ENCOURAGEMENT !!!: The Ultimate Sacrifice: On the cross, Jesus' love for us was so great, that He would rather die than see us die in our sins

The Ultimate Sacrifice

On the cross, Jesus' love for us was so great, that He would rather die than see us die in our sins

Even if....

Even if we are in a bad situation at work, at home, in anything...God is still
 with us. All we need to do is pray and God is right there beside us, protecting
 us, guiding us.  Remember, God loves you. His Son died for you.

 And this same Son Jesus Christ was resurrected and is coming soon for His followers, to take them to Heaven where all is peace and love.
Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Unpardonable Sin

No one need to look upon the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit as mysterious. The unpardonable sin is the persistent refusal to repent.

In the Bible book of Acts, the apostle Paul pleaded with Governor Felix twice to repent, but Felix told Paul to go away and that he might call for Paul at a more convenient time. But Felix never called for Paul again.

Felix slighted his last offer of mercy; never was he to receive another call from God.

If we are honest with ourselves, we can count many calls from God to repent and be saved.
 How many calls will God give us? Felix had only two!

Based on writing of G Edward Reid

He could not give anything less

When God gave His Son, Jesus, to die for humanity's sins, He could not have given anything greater - and He could not have given anything less.

What is Love?

If I had the gift of speaking in foreign languages without learning them, and even if I could speak every heavenly language, but did not love others, I would only be making noise.

If I had the gift of prophecy and knew the future, but did not love others, what good would it do?

Even if I had the gift of faith and could move mountains, I still would be worth nothing without love.

If I gave all my worldly possessions to the poor, and even if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel, but did not have love, it would be of no value.

Love* is patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty, selfish or rude.

Love does not demand it's own way. Love is not irritable or grouchy. Love does not hold grudges, and will not keep score against friend or enemy.

Love is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. Love is loyal, and has faith in God under all circumstances.

Someday prophecy, foreign languages and special knowledge will disappear, but Love goes on forever.

Now we know so little even with our special gifts, but when Jesus comes and we have been made perfect and complete at His coming, then those special gifts will come to an end, for they are no longer needed.

It is like this: when I was a child, I spoke and thought as a child. But when I reached adulthood my thoughts were far above childish ways.

 In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were looking at His reflection in a poor mirror. But someday we are going to see Him as He is, face to Face! What I see now is blurry, but later I will see everything as clearly as God sees now!

There are three great things: FAITH - HOPE - LOVE. And the greatest is LOVE!

*God is Love. In this paragraph substitute your name wherever the word "Love" appears.

Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

...Even Those who Hate Him

People, God does love you. He loves you so much. Please accept what Jesus has done for you - He died on the cross and provides for you in your daily life.

Even if you do not like God He still provides for you.

God loves everyone - even those who hate Him.

God won't Force us to love Him

God is so powerful that He could force us to love Him, but God doesn’t use force, because He loves us and wants us to love Him back.

Jesus determined, (in council with His Father) to do everything possible, no matter the cost, to rescue sinners. Jesus loves you more than He values His own life – He died for you!

Bad things happen to good people – it’s because of sin, not because God hates you. God loves everyone. The devil hates everyone. You don’t believe in God? He believes in you! Trust yourself to God – He will care for you.

God planned for you before the world began. He longs for you to talk to Him about everything that is on your mind.

God always listens. I go to Him with all my problems and He always looks after me. As a small child I learned these things – it made all the difference in my life.


Often your mind may be
Clouded because of pain.
Then do not try to think.
You know that Jesus loves you!
He understands you.
You may do His will by simply
Resting in His arms.

He Died

Jesus Christ died for us. The loving, lovely One for the lost sheep. He did not have to do this, but He died so that we might have immortal life in beautiful Heaven with Him for eternity.

Destroy the Law...?

God's law and His character are inseparable. He did not and will not change either. Calvary is God's final and unanswerable argument in favor of His eternal law. Destroy the law and Calvary becomes a meaningless tragedy.
