GET THE DOOR!


Revelation 3:20

"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

______________________________________________________________

The world is asking: Where is God?  In all the mess we see going on in the world one could be tempted to believe that God is absent.  Yet the world forgets that slowly overtime it has shunned God and asked Him to leave.  No prayer in schools, and removing His commandments from every corner of the foundations of our society in the name of political correctness.  The saying “you don’t know what you have until it is gone” is so true.  If God were to completely take His hand off of creation the universe would dissolve and even the structure that drives complete chaos would unravel.  Yet as we push ever closer to the brink of self-annihilation, Jesus is knocking at the door.

Many Christians look at the news and the events of the world and worry, and or, hide their heads in the sand.  Like Peter who focused on the waves and the wind began sinking into the ocean we become overwhelmed within a world that tolerates our worship and seeks to assimilate us against the one we serve.  If only we would only turn our hearts and ears to the knocking at the door.  Jesus has never left.  Rather we have wheeled Him out of our hearts and lives and shut the door in His face.  And there Christ waits knocking, asking to come in and bring peace to the situations and events that fill our world.  Please whatever you do, don’t leave Christ outside knocking. Get the door, and let Christ in!

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...
