“For God so loved the world that He gave..”- John 3:16 To have an attitude like the Lord is a great asset. We are glad to do things as long as we get the credit but if there is no credit to be gotten, we don’t participate. what if Christ had thought, “there is nothing in this for me so why should I give my life for these people. All they are going to do is turn around and curse me and despise me and hate me.” If He had thought like that, we would have no savior, no one to ransom us from the life of death that we were heading for. When we deny self the gratification and sacrifice the glory for Christ, our reward on earth and in Heaven is great. Sometimes we don’t see the outcome of what we do but God allows us to witness a transformation in someone else life . Sometimes that same sacrifice is the catalyst to the start of something wonderful. When we aren’t so concern about who gets the credit, God can use our sacrifices to honor...

We wake up everyday supposing that we did it on our own strength, we bow our knee and wonder how we did it, we take our hands and brush our teeth and look in the mirror never thinking that we didn’t do it, we eat our breakfast or drink our coffee and never think that we didn’t digest it by our selves, we drive our cars and look to and fro and didn’t cause an accident and didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we walk to the office perform a productive days work and didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we take the car or the transit home to our families and didn’t cause or get into an accident but we didn’t think that we didn’t do it, we watch the TV or play the game or go on the internet but we didn’t think that we didn’t do it. What did we really do through that entire day? Not a thing! God did it all, we just took all the credit and didn’t give Him any of the praise. He deserves the praise for every breath we take from when we wake up in the morning until we do the same the next day. He sustain all that we see or don’t see, do or don’t do. Give Him thanks and worship Him. He is an awesome God. He deserves...

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…” Not an easy thing to do when we have our priorities in confusion. We are less likely to believe that He will do what He says he will do when we are in confusion. Most of the time because of our priorities being in disorder we don’t know what His Word says and in that lack of knowledge, we don’t know how to trust God. God Has many promises in His Word and it is our responsibilities as “Christians” to study to show our selves approved so that we can trust Him for what He says in His Word. On Christ the Solid Rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sand. We say and sing these words so many times that it just becomes “words” with no meaning. We have to get the meaning back into the words that we say or stop saying them all together because they become meaningless unless we start trusting God for His...

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.”- Ephesians 3:20NIV Christ in us through His Holy Spirit gives us enthusiasm to do above average in all the things that we do. We are His and we have to seek Him, then we will find Him. He desires the best for us and so He will give us the power to achieve at a high level. The difference with this success and the one that the people in the world has is that it is complete. God fills the emptiness that is felt by so many successful people. He gives us a deep satisfaction inside to enjoy our achievements. Without Christ inside, there is no contentment that is lasting. It may come and go, but it never settles deep inside. Jesus said that He will give us His peace, not as the world gives us. That peace last a life time and the outcome is extraordinary living and Godly...

It is wonderful to know that another Sunday has come for us, the Body of Christ. A day to worship together and eat up the Word of God. It is a wonderful blessing to be able to come together on a Sunday. God is great isn’t He?
