STAND!!

1 Corinthians 16:13

 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong

 
We search for so many things to detain, and entertain us in this world. And the world has so much to offer us when it comes to entertainment.  But when we open our eyes and hearts to what this world has to offer we must remember to always keep our guard up.  “GUARD?” you may ask. . . . Yes keep your guard up.  My friends, via music, movies, and gossip we can allow all sorts of spirits into our lives.  We can be influenced, tutored, and swayed by what we here and see.   Consequently what we allow ourselves to be entertained by is what we will condone our children to watch and see.   You may say “I don’t let my kids see everything I see!”  But the fact remains that your children see and hear what you are doing!  Unfortunately this is the example that most children will follow.
 
The bible calls us to be men and women of courage! This means having the integrity to put away those things that we should not let entertain our flesh, and hinder our Christian walk.  When our children come home talking about something they have seen at school or on the internet that doesn’t fit in the pattern of Godly living that you are teaching them, please correct that behavior immediately.  It may seem trivial at times but it is what is necessary in order to stay on the path GOD has called you to be on.  It is ok to know what the world is selling. However do not buy into it.  Likewise do not buy what the world is selling only to give it to your children.
 
The bottom line is:  Do not settle your morals in the name of entertainment.  Do not idolize entertainers, their lifestyles, or their message.  Cling to what is GODLY and support those who do the same.  Let GOD’s spirit lead you to the message, music, movies, and lifestyle that pleases him.  By no means do you have to sacrifice music, or seeing movies!  However you should use a spirit of discernment when picking what music and movies to hear and see.  Be strong for yourself and your children! Stand on GOD’s word and live a life that is living proof of your stance.  Let what you do become an example and testimony to your commitment to GOD.  
 
Be encouraged. I love you always and in all ways.
 
 
Rev. M. Harrison

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...

LAW OF LOVE

Galatians 5:13-14   13  You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” _________________________________________________________________   Today I want each of you to look at your life!   Let your life answer the following question:   Do I serve myself, or God?   Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.   If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.   In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.   True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.   True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love express...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...
