Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
____________________________________


What would you think if you saw your favorite football team run onto the field in pajamas?  The opposing team would take the field fully suited up and ready for the game!  And your team would be just out there . . . not prepared.   This is what we do each day when we neglect to put on the armor of GOD.  God asks us to put on the “whole” armor of GOD.  Truth be told, this world is full of plots and schemes that Satan is using to try to take you down.  And sometimes, we make it so easy!  We go to the places we should not go.  We look and listen to the things we shouldn’t be looking at or listening to.  And we think about anything and everything except for pleasing GOD.


In essence we take the field in our PJs.  We do not have the armor nor the weapons to combat Satan in this world.  We set ourselves up for a very painful lesson.  Do not depend on your own strength to succeed.  Satan has been at this game for a lot longer than you have been breathing and knows what to do to tempt you to fall.  Look up, Pray up, Act up, and Suit up for Christ.


Be encouraged God is faithful and has fitted you for your armor! All you have to do is put it on!

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...

WHERE IS YOUR HEART?

Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. _____________________________________________________________ We live in a time and society that has all of us planning, working, toiling and pressing forward each day.  Every moment of our time and efforts press us towards goals and a future we carefully attempt to plan for.  Some of  us are so engulfed and focused on these plans and the temporal benefits of the perceived outcomes our plans will achieve. However, as christians our existence is more than the time we have in this world. We must make an investment into eternity.   "HOW DO WE DO THIS?" you may ask!   We must shift our thoughts and priori...
