The words of encouragement

For God loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
( John 3:16)

Run Your Own Race

The discipline of our desires forms backbone of our character. Know what tempts you and avoid it. If you want to exhibit self-control, walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. He will produce that fruit in your life.

A runner intending to win must know where is going. The finish line for the Christians is the person of Jesus Christ. Keep your eyes on Him. Know Him. Grow in your love for Him. Serve Him. Yield totally to Him. Make Him your train.

The Christian life will cost you your life. You and I must die to ourselves, deny our rights. Anything, any prize, any relationship, anything of value costs. You may find that working through a problem in a relationship is harder than working out. Doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest option, but it’s always the best option.

Any long-distance runner will tell you that finishing a race successfully often means pain. But they will also tell you that the pain is worth it! The same is true for us. How about you? Are you running for the prize? By God’s grace yes you can!

Never out of Reach

If you have received Christ as your Savior, God has given you His helper, the Holy Spirit, who can empower you to full-fill God’s commandments. And when you are disobedient and blow it (and you will), remember that the message of the gospel is that by God’ grace we can repent and we are forgiven. Turn away from your sin and simply admit (confess) your sins to God and thank Him for His forgiveness. Yield your will to Him and thank Him, by faith that He will fill (empower) you again with the Holy Spirit.

A Comparable Helper

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And ADAM SAID: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh on my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Gen 2:21-24)

“It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him; (Ge 2:18)This remarkable verse tells us that God has designed wives to be very much like their husbands comparable but also different in ways that complement or help their husbands become all that God intends them to be.

Paul's Valedictory

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7)

The Man Will Not Rest

AS STRANGER in a strange land, Ruth could not have known much about life in Israel. So at the beginning of her short courtship with Boaz, she had little idea of what to expect. She must have felt unsure, uneasy, and more than a little frightened. Yet from the very beginning, Boaz demonstrated himself to be a godly man as a strong character who would certainly keep his word, whatever it was. When marriage to him became a district possibility, it must have reassured her to hear Naomi say, “The man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day” (Ruth 3:18).

Profiting from Trials

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who loved Him. (James 1:12)

Meet a Worth queen Easter

Why did the King loved Easter more than all the other women and obtained favor in his sight more than all the virgins? I believe its because she became humbly, standing and waiting for the King to notice her. She didn't barge into the throne room, and so the King set the royal crown upon her head and she became a worthy queen. To God be the glory! You maght be the one today that God is speaking too. Open your eyes and and see. For God is at work at all time. God bless you!

A Reward for Righteousness

WHY WOULD AN ALL-POWERFUL, loving God allow evil to exist? That’s one of the oldest questions facing humankind, and the question lying at the heart of the book of job. Satan comes before God to suggest that Job worships God only because of His kindness to him. Satan implies that if God were to remove His blessings from Job’s life, the man would renounce his faith and denounce God. So God allows Satan to put Job to the test. In a single day, Job’s livestock, his servants and his sons and daughters all die. In addition, sores break out all over Job’s body. Job’s wife tells her husband to “curse God and die” (2:9), but Job responds with the profound question, “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (2:10). Three friends eventually come by to offer Job a variety of explanations for his personal tragedy; these conversations make up the majority of the book. Finally, God speaks directly to Job (37:1), showing him that the best way to face tragic events is with faith.

A kind and loving God remains in control, working out His plan for our good and His glory. When we face tragedies, we must remember that a sovereign God remains in control. We may never understand His purposes in this life, but we can trust Him. As Job said, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God” (19:25,26)

Believe That God Can

Unbelief begins with dangerous assumptions and concludes that the problem is too big for God, that God doesn’t want to act on our belief, and that we might as well eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die (1Cor. 15.32).

Don’t give in to it! Learn to take a small steps of faith by choosing to believe Gods Word and acting on that belief, whether you feel like it or not. Keep in mind the words of Martin Luther King, “Feelings come and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving; my warrant is the word of God, naught else is worth believing.”
