Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

King of the Nations

In Jeremiah 10:7 the Bible reads "Who would not fear thee O King of the Nations".

Being a missionary to Kenya, I am often asked the question "are you scared?". This verse must be my driving force. God is not only King of Kings but he also rules the nations. Sometimes we do not understand why God allows certain things to go on and on and on, but we must always remember He is still on the throne. So weather in Africa, Peru, China or France where ever God has called you He is still on the THRONE!

Thought for the day: With every great blessing comes a great responsibility, and with every responsibility comes a great blessing!

Measuring Up to God!

Zechariah 2:1 ¶ I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

What if the Angel of the Lord was knocking on your door with a measuring line? Would it measure up to that of the Lord Jesus? No, of course not the Bible says in Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come SHORT of the glory of God. So therefore God tells us that we could never measure up to God's standard.


But, that isn't the Question this morning. The Question is are you trying to be all that you can be for the Lord Jesus Christ? Are you listening carefully to His voice and waiting on Him to speak unto you..

You should be!

Receiving One Another!

Romans 15:7 ¶ Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

When Christ RECEIVED us he did not agree with everything we agreed with, when Christ received me He embraced me (cared for me during trouble). He accepted me (cared for me when no other believer would)


I didn't deserve Christ love. I didn't deserve His salvation. I didn't deserve His sacrifice.

Sometimes people are not going to agree with everything that you agree with, sometimes people will not deserve it, sometimes it will be difficult to love to embrace, to accept/ receive . But as the Bible says we ought to accept one another.

Romans 15:7 ¶ Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Ro 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin

There are so many comparisons in this book of Romans. But today we find another comparison. The Law of God, and the Law of the Flesh. Paul begins to write this chapter with the illustration of a woman being bound to her husband by law. And certainly she is, but in a spiritual stand point we are bound to the law of the flesh.


Now after we are saved, we are no longer under the law of the flesh, but under the Law of God.
We still have to deal with the spiritual warfare going on in our body, but we are not servants to that law. We are servants of God and we must, as Paul said mind our self to serve the Law of God. It is a conscientious decision to serve God or not today...!!!..

Servants of one or the other

Servants of Sin
Father is the devil
Free from Righteousness
Yield your members to
sin
Fruit of damnation
Sin reigns in the body


Servants of Righteousness
Obedience reigns in the body
Father is God
Free from Sin
Yield your members to Holiness
Fruit of Everlasting life
