Faithless!!!

Without faith it is impossible to please God! That is what the writer of Hebrews has told us. Whenever God reveals something to us, He expects us to believe and adjust our lives accordingly.

"But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin." Romans 14:23.

What does this mean? It means we trust Him without question for all of our needs because He says He will provide for us. It means we approach crises with the assurance that God will bring good from them. It means we overcome anxiety during stressful situations because God instructs us to bring our requests to Him. It means that we should never worry or think we are alone in any situation because God promised He would never leave us or forsake us. It means that, no matter what happens to us in our lives, we will never doubt God's love because He has told us that He loves us with an everlasting love!

Friends, there are many times, I am sure, that we have all tried to justify our lack of faith. We know, if we are in the Word, what God has promised us. But many of us doubt that God wants to make a practical difference in our lives. Some of us are filled with anxiety and excuse ourselves with the old cliche, "I am just a worrier." Some of us become bitter during a crisis and feel that God could not possibly bring anything good out of the pain we are experiencing. We appeal for help from everyone else around us when we have a need, and fore go believing the Father and His promises. Some of us will even say that we know that God is going to provide for us, but we think we still need to do everything we can first, just in case. What is wrong with all this thinking and action? It is faithlessness. God calls this unbelief in Him and unbelief or faithlessness is sin.

Are we struggling with faithlessness? Do we struggle to believe the promises of the Father? The answer then, friends, is to approach God and ask Him to help us with our unbelief. We need not ask for miracles, we only ask God to give us help with our unbelief. Then, stand on the promises of His Word believing that God will do what He says!

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

We Are Royal Priests!!!

If you are a Christian, you are a priest, chosen by God. As members of the royal priesthood we have constant access to the King. If there is ever a need in our life, we don't have to find an intermediary or enlist another priest in order to gain a hearing from the King. Our position as royal priests allows us direct access. This privilege describes our position as a priest. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9. We need to also understand that priests also have a function. It is the responsibility of a priest to work within a priesthood. Scripture does not promote the practice of individual priests, each with a separate ministry. Priests are supposed to function together. (Lev. 9:1). An unbiblical sense of individualism can isolate us from functioning within God's royal priesthood as He intend...

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

To Give or Not To Give!

  As a society in today's world, we are taught that money is everything.  We will spend 3/4 of our lives amassing money and things to make us comfortable for the last part of our lives. The Bible teaches us that, "Money is the root of all kinds of evil." 1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV.  It does not say that money it's self is evil, but that it can lead to evil. There is nothing wrong with having vast amounts of money, the question is, where is the heart in great fortune?  Where is the heart with little fortune? Today I want us to visit a passage of scripture that deals with fortune and where the heart is:   "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.   You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.   Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you ...
