JESUS Gave (And So Should We)
“5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” I Peter 2:5-:6 (King James Version)
“5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:5-:8 (King James Version)
“16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” I John 3:16 (King James Version)
I expect to see the goodness of THE LORD in the land of the living. (2 Peter 2:2-:4)
I expect to see the goodness of THE LORD in the land of the living.
Why?
GOD has good for me. The WORD OF GOD reveals so much good that GOD has planned for me. GOD’S LOVE and goodness are revealed in scripture after scripture in GOD’S HOLY WORD, THE BIBLE.
“11 For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified Version)
“2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 2:2-:4 (King James Version)
These are examples of the scriptures that reveal that GOD has so much good purposed for my life. A search of the scripture will show that there are so many more such scriptures about the goodness that GOD has planned for me!
GOD is not a man that HE should lie so I know that HE means, and will honor, what HE says.
GOD is not a man that HE should lie. I trust HIM.
“19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
“13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
Thank YOU FATHER. Praise YOUR HOLY NAME!
(Please know that GOD is no respector of persons and has the same goodness planned for each and every reader of this writing.)

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-:11 (King James Version)

Seek and Save the Lost (10/03/21)
There are a lot of different programs, activities and events taking place in the church. There is a lot of “stuff” going on. We must never forget our chief objective: “To seek and save the lost”. JESUS came to seek and save the lost. We must seek and save the lost. Time “spent” doing things that do not serve Kingdom purposes is just that…time “spent”. Time “invested” in doing the work of the ministry will yield GOD ORDAINED “returns”.
“9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” 2 Peter 3:9-:10 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]” 2 Peter 3:9-:10 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)

“14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:14-:18 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g]
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” John 3:14-:18 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
Unity (10/02/21) Psalm 133:1-:3 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.” Psalm 133:1-:3 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
