A Bare Necessity

2012-03-16T08:00:00.001-05:00

"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14 Water is important to our health--a bare necessity! About 2/3 of our body is water. That water helps transport oxygen, keeps us detoxified and hydrated, and helps

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Have you ever gone into a maze and tried to get out, or worked on a maze in a puzzle book? God’s path is not like a maze. He has a straight path to follow. He wants you to look for His path in your life as you share Christ

Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

The plan of salvation is from His perfect Word, the Bible. This is

God provides the power to share Christ

2012-03-03T12:51:00.002-06:00

Everything you will need to share Christ comes from God and His Power. He provides the power through the Holy Spirit. When you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, you received His power to live as a Christian and share Him with others. What has God done in your life? When your life is changed and you share the life-changing details with others, this is God’s power at work. As the

Matthew 25: 35-40 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to

Call

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

“…Turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord…" Acts 3:19 What does it mean to turn? You know the answer to that. It means to go in the other direction. In Acts 3:19, the Bible says to turn to God. That must mean that you are to go another direction. In fact, if you are turning, it often means that you are headed in the wrong

Believe

2012-02-27T09:30:00.000-06:00

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 Believe. It is a simple word; however, the subject is complex. To believe means to place confidence in, to entrust, or to place your faith in. And that's where it gets complex. It is easy to say that you believe in something yet harder to

Are We Ashamed?

2012-02-24T08:00:00.010-06:00

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
