God also call us to suffer if need be in carrying out the Great Commission . Peter wrote , ''For to this you were called , because Christ also suffered for us , leaving us an example , that you should follow His steps '' ( Pet. 2:21 ) . Suffering and sacrifice in God's service are not popular among Christians today . But the fact is , God's call is a call to self-denial and suffering . Jesus made it clear that ''if anyone desires to come after Me , let him deny himself , and take up his…

Dearly Beloved,

IN-LAWS: BLESSING OR CURSE?

“When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite. They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah” (Genesis 26:34-35 NIV).

I was in a wedding reception some time ago when I overheard a woman sharing with another woman about her sweet experience with the sisters of her husband. According to her, her husband’s sisters are so nice to her and her son…

God's call echoes  throughout the Bible . Moses experienced that call . ''God called to him from the midst of the bush '' ( EX. 3:4 ) , and '' ( God ) called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud '' ( EX. 24:16 ) . These great heroes of the faith---Abraham, Elijah , Elisha , Daniel , Amos , Jonah , , Samuel , Matthew , John , Peter , And Paul----are but a few biblical examples among the hundreds whom God called into His service . Each person was unique , and each person was called of God…

'' For you see your calling , brethren , that not many wise according to the flesh , not many mighty , not many noble , are called . But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise , and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty,,, that no flesh should glory in His presence ( 1 Cor, 1 : 26-27 , 29 ) .

We need to let his words, His presence, and His everlasting promises find  their place back in our life, our heart, our calling, and our place of service when we are  down . Let them be our joy, our peace, and  confidence. They are our legacy, our heritage, and our sacred trust in Him our Lord Jesus Christ .God bless you all my sisters and brothers. And in Jesus name I pray Amen.

THE DUMB PREACHER 

Many preachers are giving up the old ideas about the fall and total depravity of man.  People are not often plainly told now that they are guilty sinners before a holy God.  The sermons of our forefathers – who used to press this so constantly upon their hearers – are looked upon in many quarters as relics of the dark ages, only fit for the old curiosity shop.

There is however, one preacher left of…

The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin . The leader's task is to speak the world of God , not to convict of sin . As the leader declares the truth of Jesus Christ , the Spirit convicts the world of sin . The Holy Spirit guides the leader in understanding the truth of God's World ( John 16:13 ) . He teaches the leader the deep truths of God . Jesus said , ''All things that the Father has are Mine . Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you '' (John 16:15 ) . The Holy…

Jesus could see the concern and anxiety in His disciples' faces . He urged them to trust Him and to look ahead . He said , ''Let not your heart be troubled ; you believe in God , believe also in Me...I go to prepare a place for  you .And if I go and prepare a place for you , I will come again and receive you to Myself ; that where I am , there you may be also '' ( John 14 : 1-3 ) . These diciples needed encouragement , a reason to continue . They easily could have given up , but Jesus calmed…
