Oh friends, life is never easy, but as true believers in Christ Jesus, we are expected to have a certain amount of belly and backbone that will keep us from complaining unnecessarily about life's troubles. And it's not so much that we complain, but it's how we complain and what we complain about. In today's world complaining is rampant, and over very small and petty issues, meaning that most of our complaints are worthless and sinful. So please, let's wake up and realize that we're only damaging ourselves by our constant complaining over worthless issues! Much LOVE!

The Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth is the most omnipotent and powerful being in the universe. He had to be great, to be all powerful, to do the things He's done down through the ages. And unless we believers sincerely believe that, we'll be in for an even tougher time than normal on this earth. For things will get real bad if you don't believe that God can take you out of undesirable situations, even those that you got yourself into. So please, let's believe with all our hearts, bodies and souls that to God, all things are possible. That's wisdom for the ages! Much LOVE!

It's very simple friends; if we forgive those that do us wrong, we also get forgiven for our wrongdoings. However, if we don't forgive, then we won't be forgiven by our heavenly Father either. So it's simple common sense that if we desire God's forgiveness then we must be forgiving to our earthly brothers! It couldn't get any simpler or plainer than that. And Jesus spent a lot of time trying to get that simple equation into our stubborn and hard-hearted hearts. But we still practice unforgiveness while seeking forgiveness. How foolish! Let's learn that it takes two to tango, and one hand washes the other! Much LOVE!

Without hope we are like the undead; alive, but not functioning as though we are. It's hope and faith that keep us going through all the rough times of this life. We need to believe in something bigger than ourselves when we find ourselves too small and powerless to handle our many problems. And that's where hope and faith come in, through our Christian beliefs. Christ is our Guide and Leader, our Anchor in the times of storm, the Giver of Eternal Life, through whom we have pass to get to God the Father. Now all of that doesn't just arrive in our souls and spirits and stay there. No, we have to invite Christ into our lives, then work with hope and faith in the scriptures to keep Him in first place! For if He isn't, then everything around us will soon crumble and fall, and we'll be left high and dry, like an abandoned ship on the shore. And we certainly don't want that, so let's be wise and keep Christ first place in our lives! Much LOVE!

We are all searching for wisdom, but so many of us are searching for it in the wrong places. And where should wisdom be sought eh? Wisdom, true wisdom begins and ends with God, with Hs Word and in His sanctuary. What the world terms wisdom these days is utter rot, for most of it has nothing to do with Almighty God, and if it doesn't have to do with God, then it cannot be wisdom. True wisdom though has EVERYTHING to do with God. So please, let's apply ourselves unto wisdom nuh, by studying His Word and fellowshipping with other believers in His sanctuary! Much LOVE!

Life is rough and tough, as Jesus tells us, but we can soften some of those rough edges if we completely surrender our lives to Him, because He has the wherewithal to help us do so, especially since He has already overcome the world, through His death, resurrection and ascension. And that's the best way to live this life; totally surrendered to Jesus, so He can lead and guide us in the paths of righteousness, lead us beside the still waters, and restore our souls, as well as prepare a table before us in the presence of our mortal enemies! Wow! No one else can do all of that my brethren, so please let's get wise and surrender to Jesus. It's the best decision we'll ever make! Much LOVE!

The major attribute of our God is LOVE; therefore His followers ought to be showing that attribute, at least to each other in spades, and as Jesus expects, showing it also to those who don't believe, so that they might believe. But if Christ's organization, His church is in a state of such disarray that His followers are fighting amongst each other, rather than living in LOVE as Christ desires, then it's obvious the organization will not be a welcoming sight to others, and we will be killing the very thing that Christ died to do; to bring ALL to the knowledge and LOVE of God. That will then make His 'sufferation' and sinless sacrifice a wasted effort. Now, do we want to have that on our consciences? Certainly not! So please, let's wake up and get our act together nuh. We know exactly what we need to do, so please let's start doing it, so Christ can receive some much needed glory, instead of the plenty shame He's receiving right now because of our terrible efforts at discipleship! Much LOVE!

Contrary to what we think, the Lord doesn't tell us to do stuff for Hie benefit, but for ours. He already owns everything and can do whatever He wants. However we are the sheep of His flock and need to do what we're told, and not half-heartedly or partially either, but with full reverence and total obedience. And yes, sometimes it's difficult to do all the Lord asks, but remember, He never asks or tells us to do anything without giving us the grace, the anointing to do it. But because of our laziness and fear of the world, we don't always come up to scratch, but remember what happened to Saul when he disobeyed; he lost his kingship. And when we don't do as expected of us , we also put ourselves in jeopardy of losing important things. So please, lets' wake up and smell the coffee and give the Lord full and sincere reverence, with total obedience in everything. That's the wisdom of the ages! Much LOVE!

God is our Creator and Controller, and if we have any sense of the power and wisdom that's been put into the creation of our universe, we'd continually praise the One who created it and us! Yes friends, there's nothing as stimulating, mind-bending and awe-inducing as the great universe in which we live. Nothing else is as refined and works as smoothly as God's universe, until we foolish humans come and destroy that unique and wonderful interconnectivity that exists amongst all God's creations. Mankind is the only foolish creation that disturbs the smooth and well-oiled, well-tuned running of the universe. But if we are smart, we will stop fooling with it, as climate change is warning us, and instead begin praising God for His awesome wonders! That way we might have a better chance for survival on the earth. Much LOVE!

If we believe in Christ Jesus, then it means we must behave in a certain manner, basically the way He behaved; that's LOVING, compassionate, doing His Father's will, etc. etc. Thus we cannot be hanging out with the wrong crowd, doing the things that go against God's law, otherwise we will end up like the evildoers and perish. As true believers we need to keep good company, people who truly desire to do God's will and actually do it, not merely talk it. Then we will be supernaturally blessed. God must always be first place in our lives, if we ever desire to be called a man after His own heart. That's the bottom line friends! Much LOVE!
