Where Is Your Bible?

Romans 15:

[1] We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
[2] Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.
[3] For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.
[4] For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
[5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
[6] That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus.

I have a question. Have you picked up your bible since Sunday? I am going back to Sunday, even if you did not make it to church. Have you picked up your bible since Sunday other than to move from the spot that you previously laid it? Have you read/studied your bible? Have you prayed since Sunday?

If you want you can go back past last Sunday, and ask yourself; “When is the last time I prayed, read/studied my bible, meditated on the Word, praised God, and/or worshipped God? When is the last time I mentioned the scriptures to another person. When is the last time I witnessed to another?”

These are questions that need to be thought about and answered.

Do you know where your bible is?

Search the Scriptures

Acts.17
[1] Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
[2] And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
[3] Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
[4] And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
[5] But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
[6] And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
[7] Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
[8] And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
[9] And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
[10] And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
[12] Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

--------------------------------------

There is more than a wealth of knowledge housed in the scriptures. The scriptures point us to life. Life that is ONLY found in/through Christ. All we have to do is to pick up our bibles, and search for the knowledge, understanding, and life that is in it. The Bible is a road map that points us to everlasting life. Sure, we can go along and just depend on others to do all the reading, all the digging, all the searching. But that is not what is supposed to happen. When a person tells us of what they have learned in the scriptures it is helpful. But that should not be a substitute for us checking it out for ourselves. God has given each of His children a mind to know the mysteries of His kingdom. We just have to seek it out. When we search those mysteries out through careful studying of the scriptures, God makes known to us, Himself. And in doing so many issues of life do not always stay as mysteries.

I challenge you on this day to start, or continue to “search the scriptures daily”, “with all readiness of mind”. You will discover God’s love for His people, God’s purpose for you, and God’s salvation ONLY through His Son Jesus.

Novels can be fun to read, but they don’t stack up to the stories of the scriptures.

Newspapers can be informative, but you won’t learn how to obtain everlasting life.

Magazines can give us the dirt on the life of others, but the scriptures can point us to the dirt in our own life.

The bible is the only book that has life in it.

---------------------------------

Greek word for “searched” anakrinō (ä-nä-krē'-nō)
1) examine or judge
a) to investigate, examine, enquire into, scrutinise, sift, question
1) specifically in a forensic sense of a judge to hold an investigation
2) to interrogate, examine the accused or witnesses
b) to judge of, estimate, determine (the excellence or defects of any person or thing)

Would you commit to searching for the Life that is revealed in the Scriptures?

Vacations To Remember

Las Vegas is a place that will always be one of my favorite places in the United States. The last time I went on vacation to Las Vegas I had so much fun. And it is the place where I learned to play one of my favorite table games...Craps!

If someone were ever looking for me in Las Vegas, they would be sure to find me at one of the craps tables. That is where the most fun occurs, and where the liveliest people are. The other table games seem quiet and boring.

I remember when I first learned how to play craps I learned at the table for three dollar miniumum bets. I did good when I bet in moderation. But when I got greedy I almost lost all the money I had won. It is a good thing I was not addicted to it, and was able to walk away.

But, there are a lot of things to do in Las Vegas. Much more than just gamble your money away. What is that you ask? Trusted Tours & Attractions is the company that can answer that question for you. They can get you set up with sight seeing tours, local events, local attractions, museums, and much more. If I were you I would certainly visit their website the next time I were planning a vacation.

While you are on vacation check out the Metropolitan museum of art. They offer a collection of more than two million works of art offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy masterpieces from around the world.

Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America.

Let me not fail to mention that Trusted Tours & Attractions has a special promotion where a person can win a handheld GPS just by signing up for their newsletter.

The Second Commandment (connected to the 1st)

Luke 10:
[25] And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
[26] He said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read it?
[27] And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
[28] And he said to him, You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.
[29] But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
[30] And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
[31] And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
[32] And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
[33] But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
[34] And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
[35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.
[36] Which now of these three, do you think , was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?
[37] And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and you do likewise.

----------------------------------

We talked about the 1st commandment in a previous post. The 2nd commandment is directly tied to the first. They both are of the utmost importance to God. They both have to do with love. We are to love God first, and also to love our neighbor. We are commanded to love our neighbor just as we love our own selves.

We learn from other scriptures in Matthew 22:40 that "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." You can think of these two related commandments as foundation principals by which every other commandment that God has given (whether through the law or through the prophets) leans on. Every commandment that God gives has the underlying motivation of love, and underlying result being love. Love for and towards Him, and love for/towards one another.

Now, as we read in the scriptures above we see that a man asked Jesus who his neigbor is? We can learn from the story Jesus gave. Jesus helped the man to answer the question for himself. Read that story. Think about it. Meditate on it. What is it teaching us? I will comment on it in the next post.

Do you know what it is to be a neighbor?

Give Thanks

Psalms 105
[1] O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
[2] Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk of all his wondrous works.
[3] Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
[4] Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
[5] Remember his marvellous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
[6] O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
[7] He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

-------------------------------

Let's dedicate some time to letting our most holy God know that we appreciate Him. Take some time out voice your faith in Him. Give Him thanks. It does not matter what is going on in your life right now; good, bad, or otherwise. God is due our praise and worship. The bible says that God "inhabits" our praises. Don't hold them back. God is pleased when we worship Him.

For those of you that are going through a tough stretch of life right now. It is often that God comes down right in the middle of our mess as we praise Him in it, and straightens it out for us. Not to mention this fact; God is God in our good and bad times. There is never a time when we can't or should not praise God. Paul praised God while in prison. Paul praised God after being beaten for preaching the gospel.

No matter what is going on today, our salvation price has already been paid. We have a reservation in eternity with our great God. If you have nothing else to give thanks for, give thanks for that.

Give thanks.

-----------------------------

Will you give thanks today?

A Great Phrase..."I have been through that too."

2 Corinthians 1

[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
[2] Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
[3] Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
[4] Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
[5] For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
[6] And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
[7] And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

-----------------------------------------------------

For anyone who has been through anything difficult in life, hearing the words “I have been through that too” can be the best relief. Just knowing that someone else can relate to our drama, our pain, our trials, and/or our situation often provides the extra support to get us through.

That is not by accident. That is by the design of God. It is a trickle down affect. Paul, in the passages above, said that he was able to comfort the people in their trouble because he was comforted by God in his trouble. Paul took that comfort that he received and was then able to comfort others. We too should be of like mind. Many of us are connected to one another by Christ. We are all connected by life. Many of us are connected by particular issues of life. Many of us have been through some of the same issues of life.

It is one thing to get counsel from another. It is a far more reaching affect to get counsel and comfort from another that has been through what we are going through. Knowing that someone else has been through it helps us understand and see that we can get through it. After all, that person is still standing to tell us their testimony. It is also good to hear HOW another got through it.

Don’t be hesitant to share your testimony with others, when the time is right. Our testimony is part of our ministry. No matter what you do, where you live, where you work, or who you hang with, you are in ministry. And a big part of that ministry is often a ministry of comfort. It should point to how Christ has brought us through your situation. It should ultimately always give glory to God, no matter how the event ended. Our testimony is the comfort of others. It helps others connect their faith to God. It is amazing that knowing we are not alone in our distress causes a great relief, and the extra strength to carry on and make it through.

There are many that are of the notion that ministry is only in the pulpit. There are many that think that ministry is only the quoting of scripture. There are many that think that only those that have been to seminary and/or bible school can minister. Well, not so. Life is a great school. Our trials and tribulations are great teachers. Our testimony is a great witness. Our witness is a great ministry.

God often speaks through the voice of men/women. It is our voice, but His message….think about it. Comfort another.

----------------------------------------

“Have you been through that too?”

Will you share it when the time is right with those in need?

JESUS IS THE OOOOOONNNNLY WAY!

Several people have sent me information concerning Oprah Winfrey’s views on “life”. Those views, and distribution of those views are very concerning. I believe that many can be, and will be led astray by them. Oprah is a very powerful woman and millions look up to her, and see her as a hero. I am including the link so that all of you will know what I am talking about (for those of you who don’t know and have not heard all ready). I pondered as to whether I should send her message out, and have come to the conclusion that it is best to do so. That way you all can hear it first hand, and see the type of nonsense that is being distributed in the name of intelligent thought.

Oprah is off base on this issue. Do not be fooled children of God. Let the kingdom of God rule. Check it out. Let me know your thoughts.

I Corinthians 12:
[3] Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God call Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.


Acts 4:
[8] Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
[9] If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
[10] Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
[11] This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
[12] NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: for there IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.


John 14:
[6] Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Col 2:
[1] For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
[2] That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
[3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
[4] And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
[5] For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
[6] As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
[7] Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
[9] For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
[10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:


Romans 8:
[14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
[15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
[16] The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
[17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

----------------------

There is so much to say, that can’t be said in one email. You know….God is who He says He is. Not because we believe it. Not because we can teach it perfectly. Not because the powers that be teach it. God is God, because that is who HE IS. We know this fact; not because we are smart, not because we are intelligent, not because we are better those that don’t know. We know that Jesus is the Son of God because God, by His grace and mercy (amen!), reached down and pulled us out of the slum and dirt of our lives and minds, and showed (is showing) us the truth of His Great Salvation.

The whole Bible points to the fact that Jesus is the Son of God, and the ONLY WAY to the Father. Let not the people be deceived by the devices out there, the powers that be, or the rulers of this world, But let God be settled in our hearts and minds so that whatever voices reach our ears, we can rightly divide the truth, and know error when we hear it. It is vitally important that we be settled in our minds and heart, and KNOW that Jesus is the Son of God.

Now, even besides the book, the Bible; the Bible is written in our hearts. What do I mean by that?....The reason we know that Jesus is the only Way is because the Spirit of God is inside of us, and has opened our eyes to see the Truth. It is only by the Spirit of God that we can truly believe that and make that claim with utter conviction and honesty.

There is a great problem when we try to add our own philosophy and reasoning to come to a conclusion about who God is. That is what Oprah, and those with her, have done. They have thought about it with their finite mind. God has infinite wisdom, and an understanding of Him can’t be arrived at with our finite minds. Obviously That is why He gives us His Spirit. His Spirit in us bridges the gap between the infinite and the finite. The Spirit of God gives us a certain amount of understanding of something we can’t otherwise understand anything about. Oprah and her group do not have the Spirit of our God within them.

Let’s discuss this. This is important. Especially knowing the kind of pull that Oprah has. Let us pray.

Lifelock Jobs

It used to be that if a person wanted to steal from us that person had to physically go to the location of our property and remove it. Today, with the great use of electronic information transferring across the Internet there as been a new crime that has come about. Now the thief no longer has to physically go to our property to steal from us. The thief can now just access our information electronically.

The Federal Trade Commission reports that there were more than 800,000 fraud complaints in 2007. They also say that identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States, costing Americans $1.2 billion per year.

That is why company's like Netadvisors.com have teamed up with Lifelock. Lifelock helps consumers protect their information against identity thieves. They even have a $1 million service gaurantee.

Netadvisors.com is so impressed with Lifelock that in April Netadvisors.com gave them their highest rating ofr identity theft protection. Netadvisors.com was highly impressed with Lifelock's work in identity theft protection, and their great efforts to educate the public on the issue.

And one more thing. You can be a part of lifelock. They are looking for quality people to become part of their great team. It would be wise to check out their opportunities available to find the one that best fits you.

Lifelock; a company that provides a great service, and a company that is great to work for.
