I am so #guilty of this...We'd rather #GOOGLE it than #PRAY.

"Stop #judging so that you will not be #judged. Otherwise, you will be judged by the same standard you use to #judge others. The standards you use for others will be applied to you." (Matthew 7:1-2)

I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in #darkness and will expose the motives of the #heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. (1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

The LORD says, ‘Am I not storing up these things, sealing them away in my treasury? I will take revenge; I will pay them back. In due time their feet will slip. Their day of #disaster will arrive, and their #destiny will overtake them.’ (Deuteronomy 32:34-35)

“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the #Alpha and the #Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (Revelation 22:12-13)

The #Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

#God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the #world so that we might have eternal #life through him. (1 John 4:9)

Do everything with #love. (1 Corinthians 16:14)

The #CHURCH is not a #BUILDING or a #DENOMINATION.

According to the #BIBLE, the church is the body of Christ—all those who have placed their #FAITH in #JESUS #CHRIST for #SALVATION.

Together you are the body of Christ. Each one of you is part of his body. (1 Corinthians 12:27)

The local church is where #BELIEVERS, regardless of background or #RACE, can gather for #FELLOWSHIP & encourage, teach, and build one another up in the knowledge and #GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things. Some people have given up the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

#DARKNESS is a result of attempting to find #TRUTH without the #WORD of the one true #GOD.

They will act #RELIGIOUS, but they will #REJECT the #POWER that could make them #GODLY. Stay away from #PEOPLE like that! (2 Timothy 3:5)

#SATAN, who is the god of this #WORLD, has blinded the minds of those who don't #BELIEVE. They are unable to see the glorious light of the #GOOD #NEWS. They don't understand this message about the glory of #CHRIST, who is the exact likeness of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

#JESUS answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the #FATHER except through me." (John 14:6)

#Peace.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (Philippians 2:3-4)

Living for #Jesus may be difficult, but it is not joyless. Peace & #God bless.

How can I be saved?

This simple, yet profound, question is the most important question that can be asked. 'How can I be saved?' deals with where we will spend eternity after our lives in this world are over. There is no more important issue than our eternal destiny. Thankfully, the #Bible is abundantly clear on how a person can be #saved.

Why do I need to be saved?

We are all infected with #sin. We are born with sin, and we all personally choose to sin. Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from #God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.

Saved from what?

Because of our sin, we all deserve death. While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God. Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction.

How did God provide salvation?

Because the just penalty for sin is infinite and eternal, only God could pay the penalty, because only He is infinite and eternal. But God, in His divine nature, could not die. So God became a human being in the person of #Jesus #Christ. God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us. When the people rejected Him and His message, and sought to kill Him, He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified. Because Jesus Christ was human, He could die; and because Jesus Christ was God, His death had an eternal and infinite value. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin. He took the consequences we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.

What do I need to do?

God has already done all of the work. All you must do is receive, in faith, the #salvation God offers. Fully trust in Jesus alone as the payment for your sins. Believe in Him, and you will not perish. God is offering you salvation as a gift. All you have to do is accept it.

#Peace.

To live with no #MOTIVATION or #PLANNING is not God’s #DESIRE. It is #GOOD to make plans, as long as we leave room for #God to change our plans. His goals take precedence over ours. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33) Pay attention to this! You're saying, "Today or tomorrow we will go into some city, stay there a year, conduct business, and make money." You don't know what will happen tomorrow. What is life? You are a mist that is seen for a moment and then disappears. Instead, you should say, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and carry out our plans." However, you brag because you're arrogant. All such bragging is evil. Whoever knows what is right but doesn't do it is sinning. (James 4:13-17) #Peace.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) A good way to gain #wisdom is to learn to live each day with an eternal perspective. #Living as if each minute counts—because it really does. #Peace.

Due to the hardness of our hearts, #FAMILY problems are nothing new. In a fallen world, those we should love the most often become the ones we fight with the most. This is a serious thing! #PEACE.

#40 #days after #Resurrection #Sunday... The #Ascension (the ascent of Christ into heaven on the fortieth day after the Resurrection.) Once, while he was meeting with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait there for what the Father had promised. Jesus said to them, "I've told you what the Father promises: John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!” (Acts 1:4-11) Peace.

#40 #days

Happy #RESURRECTION #SUNDAY or commonly known by the commercialized and possibly pagan originated term called #Easter Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. (1 Corinthians 3:3-4) Christ's resurrection is something that should be celebrated every day, not just once a year. Have a blessed day...Peace.
