Wear Your Best to Represent the Lord: A Devotional

Art in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, May 30, 2023 Colossians 3: 11-14 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of…

What not have a week of expressions of love? Not a bad idea — seven days dedicated to the celebration of…

Christ is Disguised Under Every Type of Humanity that Treads the Earth (Revisited)

It seems only appropriate that the eternal God of the universe, who once took on flesh and walked about disguised, as it where, in real human flesh, “very God of very God” as the Nicene Creed (*see below) puts it, would also walk about disguised in the world in the forms and lives of the poor. And yet, the teaching of Jesus concerning the final judgment, pulls the curtain back on a stunning…

Show you are a Christian

It’s the kind of heart change that is obvious. God doesn’t do anything halfway.

[walkswithmyfather]

Matthew 9:35-38 (AMP). “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages [in Galilee], teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship]. When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Matthew 6:9-13 (AMP). “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]. ��And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’”

“Lord, Teach Us to Pray” By In Touch ministries:

“Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are.”

“When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration.

As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying.

And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attempt pleases Him far more than a well-worded litany that lacks sincerity. And keep in mind that formal prayers—such as the one Jesus taught His disciples (Matthew 6:9-13)—can help us find a path back into the practice when we’re lost.

Start with the Lord’s Prayer today and return to it as often as needed. You may eventually find your own words flowing freely as a result. But if not, don’t give up. Just keep talking to the Lord.”

Let the Children Come To Me

Artist: Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein  (German, 1788–1868) 

Description

Vogel von Vogelstein was a German painter who moved to St Petersburg when he was 20 years old and at the age of 25 he moved to Rome. So these three big influences (German, Russian, Italian) make him a very interesting painter who is hard to categorise. Also stylistically he tried to run a middle ground between the classicising and romanticising schools then prevailing in Rome. We see Jesus with outstretched arms not only blessing the children, but also protecting them. All 5 children closest to Christ are depicted in various poses of prayer: folded hands, kneeling, head in arms. The little boy being brought forward in the background, shows Christ is happy to put his loving arms around anyone who is willing to walk up to Him and with Him, with fatherly affection for us all.

1 John Bonus: What is Love? (Part 2 of 3)

Probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. #WhatisLove #Agape #1Corinthians13

Expositors will often speak of heavenly love as agape, and probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13 In this chapter, Paul describes the nature of agape as patient, kind, humble, cooperative, even-tempered, generous-hearted in a way that conveys trust and loyalty, ever…

Loving Others as Christ Loved Us

The essence of Christian discipleship is love, as exemplified by Jesus' selfless and sacrificial nature. He calls us to extend unconditional love to everyone, including those difficult to love.

Loving others is the defining mark of a disciple of Christ. While the world offers many definitions of love, Jesus sets the highest standard—He calls us to love others as He has loved us. This is a love that is selfless, sacrificial, and transformational. As we explore this theme, let us examine what it truly means to love others the way Christ loves us. “A new commandment I give to you, that…

Shatter The Silence

We have been challenged by God to talk to someone today, to use our God given voice and be an encouragement heart to heart.

Talk To Someone Today Silence… we have stopped talking to each other… voice to voice. Have you heard the voice of someone in your family today, a friend, a neighbor, an acquaintance, a co worker, a church member, anyone??? There is so much silence in our families, churches, neighborhoods, communities, in our world. People are not using their voice, talking to each other heart to heart.  I am…

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

LOVE ONE ANOTHER John 13:34-35 NET. 34 “I give you a new commandment — to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples — if you have love for one another.” For several years now, we have been studying the commands of Christ. I plan to finish that major study this year. But it seems odd that we are at this…

Are You Willing to Serve?

By Adrian Rogers “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  John 13:34-35 Love does not give people what they deserve. Love gives people what they need. And love is willing to serve the lowest. Some of you may think of yourself as above…
