Are you striving to be more and more like Christ every day? Seeing more good fruit?
My Creation
It took 9 months. And now I am here. A body by God. It is my time to live! I have been created by God!
Who Do You Believe?
The World – or – God Your Way – or – God’s Way (A) Belief in God’s creation – versus – (B) Belief in Common worldviews 1. Creation The World: God did not create me. God does not have a plan for my life. So I can create myself my own way. God: God did create […]
Being Who We Are
It is quite sobering to read the Bible and realize who we are, here on earth. We earthly creatures are born under God’s judgement, unworthy of Him. We can either choose to follow God’s way, or make our own way.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. This may be it. Today I choose Him, whatever comes.
The Life of Keith
What is your life all about? What drives you? What makes you what you are, today? The life of Keith (this man clicking-out these words) is “a born again life”, wholly committed to following Jesus. My goal each day: to be more and more like Christ my God. Not an overnight process. I am not the brightest bulb in the room!
2 Peter 3
2 Peter 3:1-18 The Day of the Lord Will Come 3 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them g I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 h that you should remember the predictions of i the holy prophets and the commandment of […]
What Matters
What you say you believe, will someday be examined by God Himself – in His Court. It will reveal itself by what you actually have done. We are not saved by what we do, but the sincerity of our heart is revealed to God by what we do.
You are My friends
Are you walking dead, or have you been made alive in Christ? Jesus said, “You are My friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations The context of verses (verses 7-17) around that statement […]
2 Timothy 4:1-8
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they […]
Jesus Knows Your Thoughts
God is able to see into the innermost parts of your heart. He knows what you feel. He knows what you want. He knows your thoughts. Even before you speak a word — He knows what you are going to say! God hears me as I speak to him silently in my mind – in prayer.
Sinners, versus living in sin
For as long as we are in this body of flesh, beset with its weaknesses and predilections, we believers struggle with sinning. But we will not live in a lifestyle of sin. We are all “sinners”. All of us are failing God in many ways – disobedient, time and time again. However, the born again believer does not accept sin in their life. They fight it!
Enlightened Folks
Are you one of those? The many “enlightened” folks who have tasted what God does in Christians, maybe even liked it… but you haven’t really yielded to God, you haven’t truly choosen to follow Him? Have you fallen away?
Ambition and Humility
Leaders have AMBITION—a passion for accomplishment and a drive to make a difference. But Christians are called to be HUMBLE. In a cultural and political context where winning, success, and narcissism are all rewarded, how can we balance ambition and humility? How can we achieve and seek excellence while practicing low concern for ourselves? – […]
The Scariest Verse In The Bible
Scripture says it loud and clear: It is not what you SAY, but what you DO, that counts with God. Read it here: Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many […]
Following Someone
Are you ready to meet your Maker? Have you considered the possibility that someday God might reject you? Do you truly “follow” Him?
Genuine Or False
Are you genuine? “The real thing?” If Jesus put you on trial, would there be enough evidence to prove you guilty of being a born again Christian?!
God’s Normal
There are several lists in Scripture showing us what IS part of the normal Christian life. We each must search “our inner self”. Do you know that God indeed sees you in this way? Do you truly “walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called…?” (Ephesians 4: verse 1). God knows. Here are four passages of what “normal” looks like:
Practicing Sin, Not Following Christ
Are you practicing sin? Is there sin you constantly practice? Have you grown accustomed to accepting [“your” sin] as okay with God? Are you okay with the practices of your life? Scripture teaches us very clearly what is obviously …NOT following Christ. In fact, we are warned that “that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” You are not following Christ if this is characteristic of you: Galatians 5:16-21.
Following
Where’ you going? Are you truly “following” Christ? This is what it means to be “a follower” of the real Jesus Christ…
Sonship
I thank God Almighty a million x a million-million-million (to the 10th power) for granting me sonship in His forever family. Do you? Think about it. I am bound for a heavenly home. I am so grateful. According to Jesus’ gospel, I stand before you, and God, and all His angels all around me, with a decree by God Himself, sealed in His Book of Life, granting me eternal, un-revokable status in His Kingdom —— as His own child.
Ambassadors
An ambassador “represents” something or someone or some belief. God has us here to represent Him. Who you representing?
What We Are To Be
All in one passage, Romans 12, Paul presents a thorough explanation of what God is expecting of those who want to be a true Christian. The message of James is the same: we’ve got to back-up our talk with our walk.
Put It On
God created you able to do so much, now that you are born again and created brand new inside (2 Corinthians 5:11-17). Put it on, let it become natural to you… all that His Holy Spirit enables in your new life in Christ… Colossians 3:5-25.
Dreams and Visions
All over the world people are having dreams of Jesus appearing to them personally in their sleep. They are even conversing back and forth with Jesus in dreams! God is using dreams and visions today.
God – The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is One in the Triune God. As born-again believers, followers of Christ… we have God Himself in us. The Holy Spirit, God in the form of a Spirit, was promised by Jesus as he left the earth after His resurrection from the dead.
Who Are You In Christ?
Do you know who you are? If you are truly in Christ – you are much more than what many believers think they are! See this interactive document by CGrobler.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Who on earth do you think you are? One day we will all stand before God. If we are born again, He is our Daddy (“Abba”), and we will be home! But, whether you believe in Him or not – He is our Creator God. And He, not you, will be calling the shots. Ready for that?
Looking at Others
What do you think of others? Do you size-them-up: know their sins and think less of them, or think they are great because you like how they look or like how much they have? Remember that God does not wait for us to be perfect. He wants us to come to Him just as we are, now. Even so, even as Christ, no matter the sin – we love the sinner. There is no excuse for us to put-down another. There is no sin too great – nothing that God cannot forgive.
IF You Follow Me
Scripture says IF we follow Christ, then we are worthy of Him. The very real reverse implication is – if we are NOT following Him in our daily living… then we are not worthy to stand in His presence on That Day. Scary thought.
