Sheep and Goats

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right. Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Matthew 25: 31-35 This is the parable of the sheep and the goats. Why is it that God speaks to us at night? Maybe because it is the only time we have for ourselves. We need to run to the front of the church like the kids do. We need to love God. He will stand at your hearts door, praying you will let Him in. What are we as christians doing for this hurt...

Labor of Love

"God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Hebrews 6:10 You have to do the work and remember that God loves you. We labor for a lot of people because we love them, but do we work for God? Jesus has called us to be His hands and feet. God presents us with opportunities to help outcasts. Someone needs to care enough to love them. You have to be on a mission to love them. There is a huge need for the love of God. Jesus is encouraging us to labor for God.

Seek Him

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, all of these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 Back in this time, it was different for them to judge unlike it is today. We have to focus on not being hypocrites. Whatever you do, don't judge others. Be kind. You have to know your God, brothers, and sisters. You have to have a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Work on your problems. Get to know your Lord and Savior more. For most people, God is not mentioned on our bucket lists or on our to-do lists. We have to forget about worrying, and seek first the kingdom. What does it truly mean to seek God? Put your relationship with God on your bucket list. Seek God like you seek other things. Have determination. No one is going to stop you from going to Him. We have to stop being concerned about our surroundings. If you seek His kingdom first, He will provide. You just have to desire Him. There is a difference between God providing you and "give me w...

A Millstone

"But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!" Matthew 18: 6-7 In this passage, Jesus is telling the disciples that we as children of God need to have the approach of a child. We are all children of God. We can all be affected by someone not doing something in faith. Walk in His footsteps. Do what He does. Jesus Christ lives in you. You have to do everything in your power to follow Him. Don't leave anyone astray. Go to church regularly and worship. You have to be a Godly example to everyone around you. We have to show our children and offspring God. We need to move on with God, not without Him. You have to embrace Jesus Christ, the leader of the church. Don't deny children the privilege of going ...
