Psalm 32:1-2

"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sin are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit." Psalm 32:1-2

All I can say is wow! We are wretched sinners against the Creator of the universe and yet we can be blessed with our sins forgiven and forgotten. That shows right there, that God the Creator of Heaven and earth is a loving and merciful God. We should die to ourselves everyday because we are so unworthy to live a life for us. Everything we do, say, and live for, should be for God and Him only. Do we really live like that, No! Nobody lives their life for God 24/7. We need to get in His Word and meditate on it, study it, and keep it in our hearts so that we can serve Him 24/7. Scripture says that "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11.

To God be the Glory!

Giving God Glory throughout life

Life for Christians is not supposed to be full of parties with no trials, a lot of times we think life is suppose to start with school, then college, family, career, and then retiring. Really were suppose to give God all the glory in everything we do. Now I know we hear that our purpose here in this world is to give God the glory, but what does that mean. I believe that giving God glory in everything we do means that we should put Christ first in everything we do and when we get lifted up by others we should tell them that it is not by our doing, but God's doing through us. Those are ways to give God the glory through life. The Word says "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 We should give God His glory because we have done nothing to deserve any kind of glory what so ever! We are dreadful sinners, and not to mention that he created All things! Here's a great verse to remember throughout your life. "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen." Romans 11:36

To God be the Glory!

The Narrow and wide gate

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew 7:13-14

As the passage said that narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life, and wide is the gate that leads to destruction. The wide gate will be entered by many. Those who decide to go down the easy path and stay in their comfort zone will go through life living for themselves and in the end destruction will fall on them. The narrow gate will be entered by few. Those who decide to live for Christ and put away earthly things, will have a hard life. If you choose to live for Christ you will be persecuted, the Bible says "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."2 Timothy 3:12 That clearly points out that we will be persecuted for Christ if you live for Christ. The thing is, are you walking down the narrow road and entering into the narrow gate. Or are you going down the wide road saying you believe in Jesus and yet you still love earthly things. Jesus said "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:24 We need to put away the things of the world and follow down the narrow path, no matter what we go through.

To God be the Glory!

Seek Christ! not the world

Us Christians need to start seeking after God, because without him we will be lost. The only reason we can even love God is because he first loved us. We must seek God's face because he is the only one who can get us through this life of suffering and pain. We need to love God with all of our hearts, soul, mind and we need to trust him with our lives. Like the Bible says "Trust in the Lord in all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 We should trust God with everything and acknowledge him in everything, and he promised he will make our paths straight. Come on Christians lets stand up for what's right and stop giving into the world. The world has already lost so why go on the losing side. Lets fight for the side that's already won, because that side has the God of the universe who created all things, loves us and wants us to spend our eternity with him in Heaven forever. So lets get rid of the pleasures that will send our souls to hell. Yes, I said hell, if we enjoy our sin and do it continually then we will spend our eternity in hell, whether you believe your a Christean or not. So are you seeking after God's Face? or are you wasting your life (that God gave you) away in the world?

Think about that, don't play with your soul, Seek God!

To God be the Glory!

Psalm 7:10-11

"My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day." Psalm 7:10-11

We as Christians do not need to fear anything for God is our shield. He will be our shepherd as we are his sheep. He is our shield, but he is a Just God and must judge those who are not righteous. God does express his wrath everyday and punishes those who disobey. God is God and he will judge those who need to be judge and forgive those who repent.

To God be the Glory!

Psalm 1:1-2

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1-2

Blessed are those who do not turn to their sin, but turn away from their sin. God will bless you when you turn away from your sin. We need to start hating our sin and loving God. We really need to start delighting in the law of the Lord and not just say we love it. We need to like it and enjoy it, as well as obey it. We don't need to read it and go on our way. We need to meditate on it and study it, learn what it says and follow what it says. We need to flee evil and run to Christ.

To God be the Glory!

Quote from Piper

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

John Piper

Psalm 4:2

"How long, O men will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and false gods?" Psalm 4:2

How long will we put God to shame? How long will we love the lies satan put has put out into the world? We say we love God, yet we keep sinning. Sinning against God is the same thing as spitting in the bloody face of Christ who took on our sin, to save us from God's wrath. Why can't we as believers see that, how long until we do something about it. We sit there and say we love God and yet we go watch a movie with the very things He hates. We can only love one, if we love the world then we hate God. If we love God then we hate the world. It's your choice, will you stand up and love the God who loves you and can spend eterity with Him. Or will you stay comfertable, loving the world and spend your eterity seprated from God in hell.

To God be the Glory!

Great chorus

"Angels surrounding His throne and
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
The whole earth is full of His glory
All nations bow to His name
His majesty fills the Heavens
Our hearts give thunderous praise chores
Declare the Lord is forever
Make a joyful noise in this place."

To God be the Glory!

Everyday I hear people say that they are Christians and their life doesn't show it. As Christians we don't need to get saved just so we can go to Heaven, but we need to get out of our comfort zone and put on the Armor of God so that we can fight in this spiritual war. Lots of people think that as long as I believe in God I'll be fine so I don't have to do anything, but if you are really a believer, then you will want to do something for Christ. Think about that, if you don't have a desire to doing something for Christ you might not know Him as your personal Savior. This life is not suppose to get comfortable, it's a battlefield to win as many souls to Christ as possible and give God all the Glory. In Numbers chapters 13-15 there is a story about Gods people who had to wonder in a wilderness for forty years because they didn't want to take the land that God was going to give them, they feared man more than God. They didn't trust God with their lives, so they were not able to enter the land which God had promised them. Same with us, this world is our wilderness that we have to wonder in because we have sinned and Heaven is the promise land which God has promise to those who believe in him and trust him. We have to fight for the one who gave us life and who sent his son to die for our sins, so that we could have eternal life with God forever, like it says in John 3:16. This should make us want to serve God 24-7, but sin can get in the way that's why this is a battlefield whether you believe it or not, so lets take up our Crosses and fight for the one who gives us breath.

To God be the Glory!
