Victory of the church, and your individual victory are due to Jesus’ death and resurrection!

The victory of the church, your individual victory is due to Jesus’ death and resurrection!  In dying he took our sin and in rising again he gave us victory over death.  Through Jesus we have LIFE and LIFE Eternal.  We are to live and work in life. 

Allow me to draw your attention to verse 6 and ask this same question.  If you are of life, why do you seek to live among the dead works?  Seek Jesus, choose life today.  If Jesus is not where we live, where we work, where we play or even where we worship it is because we have chosen to exclude Him from our existence.  We will not find Life among the Dead things of this world.


1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, 
     bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining 
     garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, why seek ye the 
     living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the 
     third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,  Luke 24:1-8 (KJV)

Choose today to stay informed of God’s Will for your Life

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.  Luke 21:8 (KJV) Four times in the New Testament we find the phrase “Be not deceived” each a warning to guard against a serious danger that can derail your life and render your testimony inert.   I Cor. 6:9 warns us to guard against false salvation doctrine.  I Cor. 15:33 warns us to guard against listening to and using evil language that ultimately spoils our image as Christians.     Gal. 6:7 warns us to stay true to God as we cannot truly serve Him and the world.   Our greatest danger is not from external physical or political attacks but from personal lackadaisical attitudes which attacks our morality and spirituality.  We hold the key to a wholesome relationship with God; we can refuse to be deceived.     Choose today to stay informed of God’s ...

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro...

Spiritual gifts and wisdom are not accidents nor are they only for an elite few believers

1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5 (NKJV) Spiritual gifts and wisdom are not accidents nor are they only for an elite few believers. Wisdom, deep and profound wisdom is, to be sure, one of the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit. God endows a select few with supernaturally deep and profound wisdom that it may be shared and used for the edification of the church. While this true it is also true that wisdom can be attained through diligent study. Wisdom, counsels Solomon, should be sought after with the same diligence that we pursue our livelihood and the most valuable things in life. The benefit? One will come to understan...
