Who Should Success Lie In?

Image
 God. Without God we would be nothing and have nothing. We should be bragging about Him and what He has done and is doing. He is successful we are not. If you have a nice job, nice home, nice car, thank Him and be humble and grateful everyday for those things because those things can disappear as quickly as you received them. God wants us to be successful, He wants the best for us, but our definition of success and His definition usually are two different definitions. He gives us our abilities, so shouldn't we be grateful to Him for what we have.  We should be heavenly minded everyday not earthly minded. Stop worrying about how to get ahead in life and start worrying about your eternity and your works here on earth to further His kingdom. If you were to meet your Savior face to face today what would you be able to tell Him about what you did for Him today?  He is with us, thinking about us, worrying about us and providing for us every single day. Have you even thought ab...

We Are Not Defined By Our Sin.

Every one of us is a sinner, not one of us can say we’re perfect and not one is better than another, but God likes order, He wants us to live by His word according to His order. He wants us to be free from sin. He sent His son just for that purpose. Are we meant to celebrate sin? No. Are we meant to condone sin because everyone else is acting a certain way? No. Society is wrong and depraved. The way to live has become so twisted that there is literally no coming back to any Biblical morals, but that doesn’t mean you have to comply with that in your own life.  Marriages are falling apart, if kids today even get married, they prefer to live together, have their own children out of the sanctity of marriage or have shot gun weddings. No one sees the wrong of it because it’s the new normal. God does not see it as normal. He sees it as sin.   The divorce rate in this country is the highest it’s ever been. God meant for marriages to be lasting. That’s why it’s so important not to tak...

The Rapture

Image
    The word rapture comes from the Greek word harpazo meaning caught up or taken away. It also comes from the Latin word rapere or rapturo which means to snatch away, to be caught up.  We have the promise from God that He will save us from the tribulation. How do we know this? Scripture tells us a lot of His plan, God gives us the sneak peak into future events for a reason, He’s preparing us for the moment when we will all be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. Jesus is our blessed hope, the rapture is our blessed hope, those who do not believe in a rapture are taking away that blessed hope.   God has caught up two individuals before, I like to think of those events as a trial run to the big event, In Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.   2 Kings 2:11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a wh...
