The Good News!


 Christ died for us while we were yet sinners

Hear the good news! We have the love of our God even though there is nothing we have done, or could ever do to earn His love. He simply loves us because He created us as His own, and we are all in His exact image. We are His children, and He is our heavenly Father. We can even call Him “daddy” or Abba. Our Father is never far away, He is always here with us, to watch over us, and to direct our little footsteps. We are blessed by Him every day of our lives even though we may not be aware of His constant, reassuring hand upon our shoulders.

When I was a child my earthly father was always busy just trying to earn a living for his family. He got home late many times and worked on Saturdays a lot to earn enough money to keep my mom, my little brother and me in a nice home, with food on the table, and clothes on our back. I appreciate all he did for us. He was a good father and a good man. I don’t feel like I knew him very well though. He was gone a lot. There were too many times I wanted to go fishing with him, get him to go to the YMCA on Saturdays with me and just do a lot of things some dads do with their sons. I wish it could have been different. He’s long since gone now. Looking back now, we never got to talk about much about his hopes and dreams or mine. I wish we could have. I loved my dad.

Our heavenly Father is never too busy to listen to our hopes, our dreams or our fears. He never leaves our side even when we disobey Him and disappoint Him. I know He is always right here ready to love me. He is here for you too! He loves you and me so much He caused His Son Jesus to die for us, to save us and to take away all our sicknesses (Psalm 103:3). He made a promise to us to never leave us or desert us.

How long has it been since you’ve gone into to Him (in prayer) and asked; “Daddy, I need to talk to You about something that’s really bothering me…can I talk to You? And, Daddy, will you just hold me? You see, I am scared, and I don’t know what I’m going to do about this situation of mine! I need Your help.”

Don’t be afraid to act like a child. These are the times when you can. You see Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3).

So again I say, “Hear the good news!” Christ has come. He has made it possible for you and me to go directly to our heavenly Father! Behold! Your Abba Father is here…He is listening now for your voice. Go and speak to Him, now is your time!

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, / and good news gives health to the bones” (Proverbs 15:30).

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Confused By False Prophets

Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father – “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10). Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of th...

Awake Out Of Sleep

“…it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11). This verse from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans is where he was instructing them to put on Christ. He was illustrating that during the time of sleep we are in darkness, our works may be of darkness as well. He went on to say, the night is already gone , in other words before Christ we were in darkness hopelessly lost. Now that He is come and we know the truth of our salvation Paul is saying  it is time for us to wake up! Come out of our darkness, and put on the armor of light, Jesus Christ. We are to make no provision for the flesh for the flesh will only try to fulfill its lusts. This morning, unless we open our minds to the teachings of the Holy Spirit the world will start right in telling us what it expects us to be doing this day. Our night is over, we now have Jesus, He is our Morning Star, our hope, and He alone is the way . “...
