SCRIP-BITS

Jesus is the Prince of Peace, so it stands to reason that if you don't know Him, then you cannot acquire His kind of peace, the ONLY true peace there is. The world spouts a whole lot of hogwash about peace which is only Satan's wolf-like deceit dressed in sheep's clothing, because he doesn't truly desire peace since it will spoil his evil and ungodly business. But in any case, whatever we want in this life, be it LOVE, joy, peace or kindness, we have to actively seek it, but even then, it must first begin with us. For we cannot find or encourage something that we don't have. That's why all of our wants and desires, with God's help, first have to bloom in us before we can successfully spread them to others. Let's remember that it ALL begins with us! Much LOVE!

Like everything in this world, we can only improve our knowledge and practice when we spend time learning about whatever we want to do. The same thing applies to Christianity. To be able to put it into practice, we must learn as much as possible about it, spend time in the Word of God and then put it into practice in our lives. Otherwise we'll never grow, never become mature Christians, just remain baby believers all our lives, and like babies who can't do anything for themselves or anybody else, we'll just stagnate and be useless to ourselves or anybody else. And that's not how Christ expects his followers to live. So let's wake up and walk the walk like we ought to. Remember, it's all for OUR benefit! Much LOVE!

For any organization or group to succeed, there must be a coming together of minds and ideas, and the following of one general plan, otherwise chaos will eventually take over. And unfortunately, that's what's happening in the body called Christ's church. We are supposed to be ONE, but we are so disunited and disunified that we're of not much use in the spiritual battle we're supposed to be waging against the enemy of Satan and his group of evil doers. And it must be heartbreaking for Christ to see all His sacrifices going in vain as we refuse to take up our crosses daily and sincerely follow Him. Please friends, let's develop a grateful conscience and sincerely get together so that we can fight the good fight for Christ, as we're supposed to do! Much LOVE!

There are no easy steps in this earthly life, that means we all face troubles and trials, disappointments and disillusions, as we try to walk a careful life. And those times of despair can hit us real hard, and if we're not careful even drive us to harming ourselves. But fortunately that's never the right approach to the situation. And why should it be when we have our great Friend, Comforter and Caregiver Jesus Christ always ready to fill the missing link in our lives. Yes my people, Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother, the One who understands our every care and concern, because He also experienced what we're going through. So, please, let's be wise and turn to Jesus in all our problems, for as the song so rightly says: 'No One understands like Jesus!' Much LOVE!

Man's life on earth is tough and also short. That means we have to use it to the best of our ability; make the most of the opportunities that come our way, especially that wonderful opportunity to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, and be assured of salvation and eternal life, for that's the best option we have! Satan has nothing good to offer us, but the Lord gave us free will so that we could choose. So please, let's be wise and do as Moses told the Israelites, choose life, or Jesus Christ, so that we and our children may live forever! Much LOVE!

Simply put, life is a battle, fought on the battlefield of our minds. That means all the people out there are fighting to control our minds, to control what we think, talk about and therefore do. Now there are all sorts of evil and ungodly powers and people involved in this battle for supremacy over our minds, but basically it breaks down to a battle between Satan's cronies and those of Jesus. And the wise money is on Jesus. That means we must use the spiritual weapons provided by Him, along with the Word of God to help us stay on the straight and narrow. Remember all Satan has to offer are lies and deceptions, with no substance to his arguments. So if we want to end up with Jesus, then we have to put our best foot forward and use all the tools Jesus has given us to overcome the enemy! Much LOVE!

God has made preparation for all of our needs from the time we're born to the time He takes us home. But we have to read His Word and listen to His Holy Spirit to understand what's necessary for us to get all we are entitled to. And thus, it also behooves us to give God thanks and praise for His wonderful attention to our needs, both our everyday needs like food and shelter, but also our needs in the life to come, that's salvation through belief in His Son Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on Calvary's Hill that we could be washed clean by that same sinless blood. That means we owe Him a whole lot, which we can never repay. But He doesn't want repayment as such, He just desires our obedience, our LOVE, our thanks and praise! Now is that too much to ask for all He's given us? Certainly not! Much LOVE!

Life is made good or bad by the words we speak to each other. We can speak either pleasant and uplifting words, or unpleasant and hurting ones. But as Christians, we need to focus on good and pleasant words, because that's the example Jesus set for us during His sojourn here on earth, and it's the example He expects us to follow. However, Beelzebub is so powerful on the earth these days that he's leading us to use evil and deceitful words, words that are ungodly, strife-filled, bitter, envious and chaos causing. But we believers need to push back, and push back hard against that evil doing, if we intend to make a positive difference in the here and now. And we can certainly do it, if we all get together and march as one. Remember, there's power in unity! Much LOVE!

In this evil and ungodly world, it's necessary for Christians to know bits of useful scripture that they can learn and speak out loud to help them in their everyday Christian walk. These acclamations as we call them, boost our spirits and strengthen our belief in Christ by giving us confidence in the Word of God and His many promises. They allow us to quell whatever fear(s) crop up as we journey along in life, and help us to adopt a good and right attitude to our situations. So, let's learn these useful bits of scripture and keep repeating them, so that we can build our confidence in Christ. Much LOVE!

Our Triune God is made up of three people, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son to save the world by dying on the cross at Calvary, then rising on Easter Sunday. Then when the Son returned to heaven to be seated at His right hand and intercede for us, the Father sent the Holy Spirit, as He had promised a long time ago, to dwell in the hearts of believers, so that He could remind them of Jesus' words and works and lead them in a godly direction. But like the Father, the Holy Spirit does not intrude on our free will. He gives advice, but it's up to us to accept and follow it. And only if and when we take Him seriously will we be able to make a positive and productive difference in this evil and ungodly world! Much LOVE!
