Sacred Truth Friday: Baptism

Image
Today's Devo For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:27 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/gal.3.27.NKJV Baptized into Christ. Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Romans 6:3 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.6.3.NKJV Baptized into His death. Baptized for the remission (forgiveness) of sins. Therefore baptism is essential for salvation. If you have not obeyed the Gospel then please obey today before it's everlasting too late. The Gospel in a nutshell Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he

Gospel Wednesday: Galatians Chapter 2: Live for Christ

Image
Galatians Chapter 2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. But from those who seemed to be something—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man—for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gos

Sacred Truth Friday: How to Resist the Devil

Image
Today's Devo Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I Peter 5:8 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.5.8.NKJV This verse warns us to be on guard. Satan seeks to devour us spiritually. He is after those who have submitted to God in Gospel obedience. So how do you resist him? 1. Humble yourself. Realize your need and dependence upon God. But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.4.6.NKJV 2. Submit to God. Surrender all to Him Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.4.7.NKJV 3. Draw near to God Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.4.8.NKJV The devil will then flee from yo

Gospel Wednesday: Galatians Chapter 1: False Gospel

Image
We are now in our study of Galatians which is 6 chapters. Galatians Chapter 1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I n

Sacred Truth Friday: Pursue After These

Image
Today's Devo For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I Timothy 6:10 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1ti.6.10.NKJV Don't let greed, the love of money rule in your hearts. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. I Timothy 6:11 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1ti.6.11.NKJV Instead pursue after these: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. For these will lead to the greater reward: heaven itself (1 Peter 1:4). http://gbntv.org/daily_lift/daily-lift-september-14th-2018/

Poet's Corner Thursday: God Is Not Mocked

God Is Not Mocked  His holy ways are mocked He’s not allowed in our schools Backs turned on His rules America! How far she has fallen! From her Holy God she turned away. From His precepts she strayed. Woe to this nation! Abandoned her godly heritage. What is legal now? Same sex marriage. A newborn’s first cry. How sweet! But the slaughter of the innocent is within the land. Sexual immorality and murder go hand-in-hand. America has turned away from Him. Innocent children are abused. Mistreated and refused. America! Wake up! How long will you laugh and scorn? From Puritan ways you were born!  God is not mocked. You reap what you sow. America! Repent now! The line slaughter of the innocent is within the land refers to abortion, which is murder. The line mistreated and refused refers to neglect. As a country we're going downhill fast. Pray for this nation. That we turn back to God and the Bible.

Gospel Wednesday: 2 Corinthians Chapter 13: Examine Ourselves

Image
2 Corinthians Chapter 13 This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare— since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified. Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified. For we can do no

Sacred Truth Friday: Impossible to Please Him

Image
Today's Devo Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.37.NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.11.6.NKJV Without faith and love it is impossible to please God. Love obeys Him. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.14.15.NKJV For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.2.26.NKJV Faith that doesn't obey. Is a dead faith. Dead faith and lack of love will keep us from heaven. Think on this. If you have not obeyed the Gospel then please obey today before it's everlasting too late. The Gospel in a nutshell Mo

Gospel Wednesday: 2 Corinthians Chapter 12: Suffering

Image
2 Corinthians Chapter 12 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me. And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord t
