“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. ” – Romans 11:29

“I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.   The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” –

“On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrate” – Genesis 15:18

God has not changed His mind.

There is no “replacement theology” becausejust as the New Testament does not replace the Old Testament, God’s Word is everlasting!

The Jewish People are and will always be God’s Chosen People for He loves them in a very special way and that will never change!

“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;” – Genesis 12:3

That is something we need to remember always…

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”-Matthew 10:29-31

How many times have we heard, “Jesus loves us”. It has been said so many times, does it really mean a lot to us?

But the Truth is that Jesus really does love us! If only one of us existed, Jesus would have come and died on that Cross for us. He would have gone through everything just to rescue one of us! Jesus would not even want even one of us to suffer!

And it’s not just Heaven that Jesus wants for each of us. He created the bridge we needed to have a relationship with His Father. A Read Relationship. One in which we can bring every single thing to our Father, good and bad, all of us 🙂

And He’s here. Walking with us every step of the way through our lives. He really cares about every worry we have and every happiness. He’s reaching out to each of us, we just have to take His Hand-and hold on to it!

One really important part of keeping our faith strong, is keeping our hearts soft. One way to do that is to ask God to keep our hearts soft for us. Another way is to watch videos such as the one above.

Another way is to choose the movies and TV we watch wisely. Is what we choose helping to keep our hearts soft or hardening them? Does it have good values and good endings? Do we like the roles the people play in it and want to be like them?

Ever heard the saying, “garbage in, garbage out”? If we put “garbage” in our hearts, that’s what we will be. However, if we fill our hearts with God and the very best that people can be, than we will be that as well.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” -Michah 6:8

There is so much happening in our world right now. Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes… And there is also our personal lives, which can have their own time-consuming stuggles.

It’s easy to forget what it is that God truly wants us to focus on:

^“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind’.  This is the first and greatest commandment.   And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”-Matthew 22:37-39

Perhaps today, this is enough 🙂

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; ” – 2 Corinthian 5:17-21

” It changes a sinner to a saint; it doesn’t give him a heart makeover, it gives him a new heart” – (“It” is the Blood of Christ)

Rev. George Ellis

A new heart, a fresh start, is available to us all. All we need to do is to ask Jesus for it 🙂

Many of us share a desire to see our nation become once again the “City on the Hill”and a “Light for all nations”.  But there is really only one way we can accomplish that, and that is to see as many Americans as possible, truly accept and follow Jesus.  It is only in this way, that the Holy Spirit can live in the hearts of each human being.

Many of us wonder what we can possibly do to help those that are lost? There is always one thing we can do, and that is to pray for them every single day. Sometimes life gets so busy, we forget the true power of simple and heartfelt prayer.

Chuck Colson said, “Where is the hope? I meet millions of people who feel demoralized by the decay around us. The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, or what laws we pass, or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people.”

“Our Hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people”.  All of His people.

Don’t give up.  Don’t give in.  Pray for the lost.

“Do not fear to tell Jesus that you love Him, even though you may not feel that love. In this way, you will compel Him to come to your aid and carry you like a little child who is too weak to walk.”

St. Theresa

One thing that sets Christians apart is that we do not earn our salvation, it is a gift from God:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast” -Ephesians 2:8-9

Christians are also different in that they are to love their enemies:

“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.  To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. ³¹ And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.”-Luke 27-31

“In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity”

Rupertus Meldenius, Germans Theologian appears in 1627 tract during the 30 year war

The real question is: what are the Essentials?

We need to ask the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will be so glad we did, and so will we!

“Helping one person may not change the word, but it may change the world for one person”

Helen Barry

I heard a great question on the radio. A woman said that every night they went around the table and each person shared how they had made someone’s life better. What a wonderful way to keep both the adults and children focused on helping others!

And what an idea for each of us to think about each day! When life gets so busy, it’s easy to let loving each other kind of slip away. But this family was focused daily on making another person’s life at least a little better (if not a lot lol).

You will be amazed at how much happiness one act of kindness will give you!
