Characteristics Of A Christian
With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him Ephesians 4:17-18 (NLT) There are those who either stray from the…

The world seems, in many ways to have changed, but has it? People seem to love for love’s sake without really knowing the true meaning of love. We tolerate each other for the sake of peace, not knowing what true peace is. Our smiles sometimes disguise the hidden pit of pain we feel and endure.

Ezekiel 14:12-20 12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: 13 “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. 14

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned (John 15:6). There is a message that makes us feel good; a message that speaks to our inmost desires and points to a future

Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, “Listen to the sound of the trumpet!” But they said, “We will not listen” (Jer 6:17). Accompanying our ability to hear, is our choice to listen or ignore the messages we receive; the choice to believe or beguile what is being said. Listen carefully and you will hear

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest (Isaiah 62:6 ESV).

For every warning of judgement there is a message of hope and repentance. God wants us to turn from our sins and return to Him; He wants us to come before Him and say: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your Lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my

To an apostate, Godless, pridefull, self-righteous, self-reliant, and deceived people! The Mighty One, God the Lord, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats (Matt 25:32). I have been considering the times when I didn’t speak up about something or when my presence somewhere gave a sense of approval to what is taking place.

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:34 ESV) Ever had one of those days when you can’t seem to shake the anxiety and worry? This past weekend was just that for me. The worrying seemed to have overpowered

It is a good thing we do not have the ability to see into the future and to see how God unfolds His plans. If we did, we would no doubt spoil it but most of all we would not have that awe of God that He so richly deserves. This will not be a
