Thank God For His Peace

WordOfFaith — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:52:08 +0000

It is important everyday to walk in the peace of God. Life is full of stress and decisions to make. Let God’s peace be the arbitrator in your life. Frustration doesn’t produce anything anyways, so you might as well stay in peace.

Are You Fighting A Losing Battle?

WordOfFaith — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:11:28 +0000

James addresses the issues your tongue can create for you. The bible tells us in James chapter 3 that “no man can tame the tongue.” Then in chapter 4 it tells us to watch what we say. This almost seems to contradict itself. If I can’t tame my tongue then how can I watch what I say?! Thank God His word shows us the way and brings light. Don’t wait till the fight is at your door!

Spiritual Motion Part 2

WordOfFaith — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:33:59 +0000

We continue with our study in the book of James. It is vital that every believer goes beyond rituals and displays motion. Everyone has their rituals. From the time you get up to the time you go to sleep, there are certain parts of your day that you perform certain tasks. In our “spiritual rituals” our life must go beyond merely reading or praying to doing and performing the word. Yes, we should have rituals but if the rituals don’t point to something greater then it all comes to nothing.

How Much?

WordOfFaith — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:34:25 +0000

How do you determine the weightiness of how much something is loved? We will look at the scriptures to find out how the seemingly unrepairable gap between us and God was bridged. Happy Resurrection Day, or as my Mom would say…Happy Independence Day!

Spiritual Motion

WordOfFaith — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:22:52 +0000

Where there is motion, there is life. There is more to godliness than the acknowledgment of truth. It is the participation of it. Martin Luther once said, “You are saved by faith alone, but if faith is alone it is not faith.” We will take a look at the issues James, a leader of the Headquarter church in Jerusalem, had to address with the twelve tribes of Israel. His target audience were “religious” people who knew what to do but did not do, and even those who did not know were to prideful to ask for help.

Is There Joy In Love?

WordOfFaith — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:31:24 +0000

Everyday we make choices, but sometimes our motivations for the actions we take are not a true reflection of God’s love. The bible tells us that love rejoices in the truth. Yes, love is more than just feelings; but, no love is not less than feelings. We will look at what the Apostle Paul considered as genuine love from the example the church of Macedonia gave us. Love is an overflow of our joy in God that gladly meets the needs of people.

The Pursuit of Happiness Part 2

WordOfFaith — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:34:24 +0000

Last week we looked into God’s word about finding our happiness in Him. This week we will discover what God’s word has to say about God’s delight and happiness. God’s chief end is to glorify Himself and enjoy Himself forever. Even though God is a self exalting God we will look at how his love for promoting and preserving His own glory comes full circle back to loving us.

The Pursuit of Happiness

WordOfFaith — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 21:41:42 +0000

God wants all of us to be happy, but not apart from Him. The Bible instructs us to delight ourselves in Him. Happiness and true joy are not separate from God. There is an old saying that tells us, “The chief end of man is to glorify God AND enjoy Him forever.” The emphasis is on the “AND”. These two things are not and should not be estranged from one another. We are supposed to seek and pursue happiness but only in God. It is not bad to desire our own good. In fact, the great problem of people everywhere today is that we are to easily pleased. The only way to triumph over sin long-term, is to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

Temptation…Struggle…Victory!

WordOfFaith — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 22:45:46 +0000

Sometimes in life, we compare our lives to others and lose focus and frustrate ourselves. The devil would love for us to get off track and focused on things that do not matter in this life. We sometimes allow small and meaningless things to throw us off course and create an internal struggle. Yes, we will face adversity and trying times in life but when things come to test our beliefs we need to get refocused on what God wants.

10 Encouragements From the Thessalonian Church

WordOfFaith — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:40:43 +0000

The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the church in Thessalonica after receiving a good report from Timothy, a young man in the faith, about the church. Paul had previously visited and established this church and was concerned for them because it was still an infant church. When Timothy came and reported of the good news about how well the believers were doing, this was a great encouragement to Paul that his work was not in vain. This church is a “model church” for us to draw encouragement from.

Another Encouragement From Peter

The Apostle Peter tells us in 2 Peter chapter 1, that there are great and precious promises for us from God. The reason for these promises are so we can partake in God’s divine nature and escape the world’s corruption which is through lust and human desire.

Evangelism

WordOfFaith — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:17:13 +0000

Every Christian knows they should share their faith but statistics show how few actually do. Most Christians could tell you “ten steps to abundant living” but few could tell you how to effectively win someone to Christ. Jesus tells believers in Matthew 28:19 to “Go ye…” You will have to go outside of the church, go beyond yourself and go where you may not be comfortable. However, be assured, as you go God goes with you (Acts 1:8).

An Encouragement From Peter

WordOfFaith — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 23:51:42 +0000

The second half of 1 Peter, the Apostle encourages believers that were scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Capadocia, Asia and Bithynia to endure suffering for doing good works. He tells us that we are to arm ourselves with the same attitude that Christ had when He suffered in his body for the good news sake. Peter tells us that suffering is inevitable, so you might as well suffer for Christ which has purpose and incorruptible reward.

Are You Worthy of Jesus?

WordOfFaith — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:25:19 +0000

Sometimes in life we put people and objects in front of our fellowship with God. Jesus addresses these issues plain and simple. In Matthew’s gospel Jesus tells us plainly when we are not worthy of Him.

Christian Duties

WordOfFaith — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:23:27 +0000

There are doctrinal and theological issues the bible instructs us in, but there is also the practical side of us doing the work. The knowledge we receive from God’s word has to be more than a library of resources we stock up on the inside. There has to be application.

He Came For A Reason

WordOfFaith — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 00:55:45 +0000

At Christmas time we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. People put up nativity scenes and give gifts reflecting the love of God, but it is more than that. It is hard to look only at the birth of the Savior without also acknowledging who and what He came to save us from. This great act of God giving up deity to be wrapped in human flesh points to a much greater act of service toward the Father, the obedience of the cross even unto death.

Wisdom

WordOfFaith — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 01:17:59 +0000

The Bible does not teach for us to pray for the wisdom of Solomon but it does tells us that Christ is our wisdom. True wisdom only comes from God. The bible says we must ask in faith not doubting, and God will give us wisdom liberally and without reproach.

Blessed to Be a Blessing

WordOfFaith — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:01:32 +0000

What is the purpose of the Christian being blessed by God? It is more than just our enjoyment and our satisfaction in things or even relationships, but our satisfaction in doing the will of God.

Purpose

WordOfFaith — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:08:38 +0000

Why am I here? What is my purpose? What does God want me to do today? There is more to life than getting rich or die trying. There is more to the Christian walk than using our faith to get things that will perish, be corrupted or waste away. God’s purpose will not go without everlasting benefits.
