Knowing Your Foundation…

September 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Knowing our steps down to every fragment of our foundation is wise to insure the longevity of our stand and to know the areas which need to be addressed. For if we continue to overlook or neglect the areas which need attention then this can cause a crack in our foundation. These cracks may seem minor at first but the longer they are neglected the worse they will become. A healthy foundation is one that breaths life and is filled with love without covering something up that needs to be addressed.

A house may look good on the outside but if its foundation is struggling or falling apart then how long do you honestly expect it to stand? The foundation of a home is the most aggravating part to work on due to the hard work that is involved but if we continue to cover up the trash within the foundation it is only a matter of time before the fall. Sometimes we have to break things down in order to insure the longevity of the future…

Evil Poison…

August 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

James gave a warning of the evil poison of the tongue. He described some who try to use their tongue as praise and blessing to God, then turn around to use their tongue to speak evil of one another. “With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. These things ought not to be so” (James 3:9-10). We cannot use our tongue to curse and bad-mouth others, then continue “business as usual” with our relationship with God. The Bible says that such a tongue behavior is characteristic of hypocrites. “The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor… “(Prov. 11:9).

A Bridled Tongue…

It has been said that the “tongue” is one of the most exercised muscles of our body. It has been estimated that in a typical week, the average person will speak enough words to fill a 500 page book! However, for the Christian, the use of the tongue must be a matter of careful forethought and discipline. The Bible warns that believers who do not bring restraint to their tongue and speech have been deceived — and without such control over their words, their religious acts are worthless and hypocritical. “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless” (James 1:26). It is a deception for any of us to think that Jesus can be Lord over our life, without also becoming Lord over our tongue…

A Home Built In Love…

August 19, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In order to build a home and for our homes to stand it is vital that we understand what holds it all together. For a home that is not built on the principles of God and upon a solid foundation is a home that is destined to fall. What is it that holds us all together? Have you ever considered where we would be without the love of Jesus who set us free? Have you ever thought about how empty our lives would be without the love of God holding us all together and giving us the strength to stand?

Within every word and action we make they should be driven out of the nails of love. For a nail that is driven outside of love is a nail that will never hold and what good is a home if we never learn how to build or stand? I challenge you this morning to examine your words and actions to see whom they serve in order to insure that your home is being built on a solid foundation with rooms to help others along the Way…

There Is Great Power In Prayer

August 11, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Recently the Lord has convicted me on not praying over what little I had instead of praying for something else to be given. My prayers have been in thanks for what He has given but where I was missing the boat was in praying over the little to serve alot. Throughout the Word of God we learn where God multiplied the provisions through faith and prayer as Elisha instructed the widow to fill her jars with oil and we learn by the example of Jesus praying over the two fish with the five loaves of bread in how God multiplied the measure to serve His will.

It is one thing to say thanks over what we have but another to pray over what we have been given. It is truly amazing at what we can discover with God when we slow down enough to listen as we open our hearts up in thanksgiving. For all God wants is for us to maintain our balance through the love of Jesus Christ while edifying the Kingdom of God in serving others as we give Him all glory…amen
