THE BACKSLIDER AND THE GOOD MAN

“The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above” (Proverbs 14:14 NKJV).

WORDS OF WISDOM TO ALL MY READERS

The Apostle Paul tells us: “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV). And so Jesus Christ says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy’.” But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5: 43-45 NKJV). How are you dealing with your enemies and those who curse and persecute you? Let these words of wisdom guide and protect you. Remember, God is fighting your battles. You are on the winning side.

THE EVERLASTING NOW

“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3: 8 NKJV). The Lord lives in the everlasting now. Therefore, we are very safe in the Lord. God bless you all! 

GOD IS WITH US

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us” (Matthew 1: 23 NKJV). Indeed, God is with us. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

JUDGING

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6: 37).

LET EVERY SOUL BE SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES

“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practises evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’sake” (Romans 13: 1-5). “Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men – as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king”(1 Peter 2: 13-17). “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work” (Titus 3:1).

BLESSED

This is all I can say for what the LORD has done: "Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore!"(Psalm 113: 2).
