Walking in the Light

November 18th 2009 16:38
Ephesians teaches us about walking in the light (Ephesians 5:8-9). But what does it mean to do so? This term means to live by His teachings. Jesus showed us many times how to live each day according to God’s laws and He showed as that we can resist evil. We are to let the Holy Spirit fill us (Ephesians 5:18-21) by putting God first in ALL that we say, think and do. We have been given the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17) and pray continually (Ephesians 6:18-20). The reason for this is clear; Satan HATES prayer!

Reforming Our Lives

November 15th 2009 16:38
When a person decides to be a Christian it is not simply “believing” that a person is saved but actually living a Christian life. It is through actions that one truly believes. This is what the bible teaches and Jesus has taught Himself. We need to realize that God has given each one of us a special gift (Ephesians 4:1-3) and when we are called to become Christians we need to use them for His purpose and not our own.

We are taught to put off our old lives and all that hinders (Ephesians 4:17-19) and put on the new righteous life Ephesians 4:20-24).

Time for Reflection

November 11th 2009 16:38
In Nehemiah we see not only the miracles of the project and how God worked behind the scenes but in chapter 6 we see that Nehemiah reflected on them and saw God’s faithfulness. Upon completion of the walls Nehemiah provided a testimony to show people how He worked. We are to be salt and light and share with people in our daily walks what God has done for us or people that we know. It is also vitally important that we never take the credit for things working so smoothly. Give the glory to God. God is the reason for victory. So, don’t forget to thank God often each day for the good things that happen. At the end of each day we should take time for reflection and notice how God works in our lives.

The Miracles of Nehemiah

November 8th 2009 16:36
In Nehemiah we learn a lot of lessons. First of all, we see the miracles of God such as the way He worked for the walls to be built, bending the wills of people to allow those walls to be reconstructed, etc. We should look for these miracles in our lives as well. There are miracles in our lives all the time; we must notice and reflect these miracles. A miracle is the work of God. When you can see His hand moving in your life or certain areas that you have asked Him to help then that is a miracle.

Nehemiah 6

Being Separated From Others

November 4th 2009 16:34
Mankind is not all the same. Some of us have been called to service… a better way to put it is that we have all been called to a supernatural duty but only some of us answer that call. We are set apart to do God’s will. Nehemiah 9, Isaiah 43:7 and 1 John 2 are good scriptures that present this view. We have been separated and consecrated for a reason; because we are the children of God. We are not to conform to the world and wicked ways of man, instead we are to guided by His light, love and truth.

NO FEAR!!!

November 1st 2009 21:03
Every time I see a bumper sticker or a shirt that says “No Fear” on it, I know this stands for something altogether different but I believe that it is one of those things that works for God. All things work for God’s will. Anyone who reads the bible knows this and I think this is merely a concept that displays that very thing. We, as Christian are to fear NO man! We are not to fear the bible teaches. “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God,” not man. If we truly have faith then we are to have no fear. Do not panic- PLAN! Rally with your Christian church and pray for God’s intervention.

Satan’s Tactics

October 28th 2009 21:00
Satan is our adversary. It is his ambition to manipulate the weak minded fools of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19) into doing his will which is to destroy souls. When we work for God we should expect that Satan will oppose as he always does. These tactics can be immediate or half way through our mission when doubt looms. Satan will come is as an “angel of light” but he will only discourage us from doing what we are meant to do for God’s will. Satan’s desire to to destroy us to hurt god, there is no other motive involved. Satan uses weak people to rally and tear down Christians. Be prepared for it and when you encounter it pray, pray hard and fervently. To prevent it pray should increase during times of sadness, weakness, hunger, loneliness, exhaustion and disappointment.

Who is Satan and Why Does He Hate Us?

October 25th 2009 20:55
A very brief overview:

Satan was once a beautiful angel. But he became overcome with conceit and vanity. When God made mankind and showed us so much love and compassion Satan became jealous and began to loathe us. This turned to anger toward God for creating us as we were inferior to the angels. Many still loved us because our Father loved us, but Satan would not accept anyone stealing his attention, especially lowly humans. Therefore he gathered a few angels that also didn’t understand why God loved us so much and they tried to fight Him. God cast them out

Who are You?

October 21st 2009 20:26
Today, I am simply going to ask a question. This is a simple self examination of your ambitions and life’s works. There is no point in lying as you and God are the only people aware of the results. But this is weighing on my heart to ask you all. Maybe it can help you discover areas that you need to change or fortify with the help of God. Ask yourself one question and decide who you are based upon your efforts in life:
• Are you a constructionist?
• Are you a destructionist

The Gates in Nehemiah

October 18th 2009 20:24
In Nehemiah chapter 3 we see ten gates. Each represents something to us today. Let’s look at this quick study into what these gates symbolize to us.

1. The Sheep Gate: this was a sacrificial area and it is symbolic to Jesus and the crucifixion

on Convinced that Rifka Bari is safe...

November 4th 2009 00:29
I agree with you. This is getting out of hand. I CAN NOT believe that the judge ordered that girl back. "Honor killings" are a staple in the Islam faith. That was appalling!!!!!

I think too many people are wrapped up in being politically correct than they are in the harsh realities of life.

on LIE: Jesus was ALL about Love and Forgiveness

August 4th 2009 22:25
Well Samaritan, again, this is where we disagree. You see scripture says we are to look at our own sins but we are also to help others as well. If someone is clearly doing something that is outside the will of God but claims to be a Christian we need to explain what the problem is and how they can correct it. Just as we should welcome if a fellow Christian came to us with sins that they have seen us commit. This is called fellowship, love and encouragement. It is the same principle that if a neighbors house was on fire would you not tell them to get out? If a Christian or a believer in God is sinning we need to love them enough to remind them that their actions will keep them from eternity in heaven and they are working to spend an eternity apart from God.

We are to stand up against lies when ever the opportunity presents itself. These are tests and it measures what kind of Christian we are. When a person is living a lie and suggesting that they are allowed to sin as much or as often as they wish and they are still Christians and it won't matter to God, then that is a lie. We must defend God and His laws if we bear the title of Christian. Remember we are to bear the cross not just the title.

on Satan’s Strategy: The Goal

August 4th 2009 22:04
Thank you for the comments. I am so sorry to hear that Lester. Remember, we all run into troubles and mockers when we are on the right track in life -we can not be silenced when standing up for God and what is right. We are to persevere regardless and continue our missions. Stay strong, I will pray for you.

on Satan’s Strategy: The Deity of Mankind

August 4th 2009 21:54
yes, this was how it all started Signals.

I'm not sure how this topic turned more political than spiritual.

First, thank you all for commenting and getting involved in this topic.

SL: thank you for your comment but I try not to get political. I just write encouraging posts for Christians that incorporate the world today.

Ruby: Well, in the United States, I am referring to any group that takes a stand for life and is against abortion is typically labeled a hate group by the "politically correct" crowd also known as the liberal left. Also, if a Christian group speaks out against homosexuality or defends the sacred unity of marriage between a man and a woman, they are again classified as a hate group by the same type of people. This is what I was referring to. Of course I understand that you are an avid supporter of both abortion and homosexuality from our past encounters, but Christians are to be opposed of anything that is not Godly or things that are clearly defined as immoral behavior in the bible.

Michael 2: I understand you have political views but this is not a political blog. The post was involving society as a whole not any republican or democrat political issue.

Thank you Kristin for your comment, very true.

Excellently put! Thank you for your additions and I hope that people understand and relate to these aspects before adultery destroys what God created as a beautiful thing.
