For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Luke 19:10

Seeking and saving the lost was Jesus’ mission, and should be ours as well. People who lose a pet will stop everything until they find it. The same is true whenever we lose our keys, wallet or phone. If the loss of these matters to us, how much more do lost people matter to God? 

A celebration was held at a city pool, and several lifeguards were invited guests. Most had a wonderful time, but when the party was over, a fully clothed body was found at the bottom of the pool. The lifeguards were so busy enjoying themselves that they did not notice someone drowning. It is not enough to celebrate the gospel; we must bring it to those who are perishing.

"Dear Lord, make the impossible achievable, reduce the price until it becomes affordable, give encouragement to my children that it’s doable, make the rules flexible & let my blessings come in multiples."

Verse of the Day

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:5 - KJV

[thewayyahway6]

If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 

Luke 14:26

Most people assume that God is pro-family, and there is much in the Bible to support that idea. God created marriage (Genesis 2:21-22); he is against divorce (Matthew 19:8); he commands us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12); and he provided a family for Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:18).

But if God is pro-family, he is pro-Jesus even more. We are commanded to follow Christ even at the cost of losing our family. Many Christian wives have been rejected by their unbelieving husbands, and many Christian husbands have been rejected by their unbelieving wives. Many Christian children have been rejected by their unbelieving parents, and many Christian parents have been rejected by their unbelieving children.

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household (Matthew 10:34-36), said Jesus.

When Jesus said we are to hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, he did not mean that we are to wish them harm. He meant that our love for him should be so great, it makes all other loves seem like hatred by comparison.

I will bless those who bless Israel. 

(Genesis 12:3)

   Give a Tithe Unto the Lord

 

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse (of Israel), so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows."       Malachi 3:10

Give a Sunday Tithe

[thewayyahway6]

Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, Sir, open the door for us. But he will answer, I don’t know you or where you come from. 

Luke 13:25

This applies to people who want to sin a little more before they come to Christ. They know there is much at stake but assume there will always be time to make their peace with God. But according to Jesus, this may not be true. 

Years ago, I went to a store and pulled into the parking lot at 8:59 in the evening. I did not know what time they closed, so I parked the car and ran to the door. But the moment I got to the door a lady inside turned the key. I looked at her with pleading eyes, but she said, We’re closed. I threw up my hands and begged, but she shook her head and said, We’re closed. If I had arrived a few seconds earlier I could have been in, but now it was too late. That’s how it will be on the last day. And [what] he shuts no one can open (Revelation 3:7), wrote John.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” – Psalm 121:7-8
