Love One Another
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:9,10 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34,35 KJV Through Him you have confidence in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. 1 Peter 1:21,22 RSV God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified! Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.

Scripture text: Titus 1:15, 16
“Everything is clean to those who are clean. But nothing is clean to corrupt unbelievers. Indeed, their minds and their consciences are corrupted. 16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.”

Is there anything in your life, this moment, that distorts your view of God?

THE BOOK OF DAVID...

...I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love...

The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God...
1 Peter 4:7-19

I AM WRITING THIS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT SO SPOILED AND LAZY YOU WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND USE YOUR BRAIN IN DIFFERENT WAY...THE SECRET NUMBER IS 53...E-MAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW YOU CARE ENOUGH TO GO THE EXTRA MILE...LOVE, DAVE...

I HOPE YOU ARE AS GOOD AS I BELIEVE YOU ARE...HELP SOMEONE OUT WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW...ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE ARE NO SECRETS...WE ARE ALL NAKED BEFORE GOD...

Christ's will was, and is, to unite...Christ said, "I am the Way"...the Way is simple, light and straight, and unifies the whole of life. -Kathleen Hasenberg-

IN EVERY WAY THAT JESUS IS GOOD AND TRUE, THE DEVIL IS EVIL AND A LIAR...ALTHOUGH THE WAY OF THE CROSS IS SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT, IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY AND IN A STRAIGHT LINE...THROUGH FAITH AND PRAYER IT IS MORE LIKE FOREWORD AND DECISIVE...UNITING YOUR HEART IN CHRIST ENABLES YOU TO DEFEAT THE LIES OF THE DEVIL...UNITING WITH EACH OTHER IN CHRIST ALLOWS US TO ELIMINATE THE EVILS OF GREED, LUST, PRIDE, HATRED, AND ALL THE OTHER LIES THE DEVIL WHISPERS IN OUR EARS EVERY DAY...IT IS TRULY A SPIRITUAL WAR...JESUS SAYS TO UNITE IN LOVE AND FORGIVENESS TO ACHIEVE ETERNAL LIFE...THE DEVIL WANTS US TO BE DIVIDED AND SELFISH SO WE CAN SATISFY ALL OUR EARTHLY LUSTS...THE DEVIL NEVER MENTIONS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER HERE ON EARTH...HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM AND WANTS TO TAKE YOU DOWN WITH HIM...LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS AS MUCH AS MISERY LOVES COMPANY...YOU CANNOT MAKE ANYONE BELIEVE JESUS, BUT YOU CAN LIVE IN HIM AND SHOW OTHERS THE WONDER OF HIS GRACE, MERCY AND LOVE...WE ALL WILL CHOOSE A SIDE...IN THE END IT IS NOT WHO HAS THE MOST WINS...THE TRUTH IS THERE IS ONLY ONE WINNING SIDE...LOVE CONQUERS ALL...GOD IS LOVE...JESUS IS COMING BACK AND WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON WILL DETERMINE WHERE YOU SPEND ETERNITY...JUST KNOW ANOTHER TRICK OF THE DEVIL IS NO MATTER WHERE YOU END UP YOU WILL NOT BE TAKING ANYTHING YOU HAVE WITH YOU OTHER THAN WHAT YOU STORE IN YOUR HEART...HAVING A HEART OF GOLD IS TWO EDGED...ONE MEANS LOVING AND FORGIVING...THE OTHER MEANS HARD AND YELLOW...YOURS IN JESUS...DAVE...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...

Daily Christian Wisdom:

A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.

NEWS FLASH!

There is nothing wrong with the people who enjoy doing the Will of God... They are not bound in chains, but are joyful in there choices and challenges... Jesus said His yoke is light... He never lies...When I tell the Truth, I do not have to remember what I said, as the Truth is always the same...I do not have to figure out what is right or wrong if I take the time to listen to the Spirit of Jesus in my heart...Living the "Cross Life" is quite simple and the choices and challenges I face are all to the Glory of GOD...I am free to serve, love, and forgive others...The Bible tells me so...I need only what He provides and have no expectations of Fame or Fortune...My Total Faith in Gods Promises and Jesus' Sacrifice, give me peace, knowing I am under Gods Grace and Mercy...I fear no man and require nothing from this earthly realm...One God...One Truth...My Salvation...I need only to be still and "Know" He is God..."Get behind me satan...You are blocking my view"

The Year That Is...

Welcome to the new year...

Another year has come and gone...Gone being the operative word...It is time to move forward in the word of God and Truth of Jesus...

Take the time to listen to your heart and what is going on around you...try and separate the chafe from what you know is right and true...Things as well as people are not always as they appear...Love all with everything you are...Angels come in all shapes and sizes...So do demons...Set your heart on a course of honesty and truth...count and hold every blessing precious...Love is the question, the answer, and the ultimate goal...Have faith, Love Large, stand strong, and be safe...Love someone new every day and change the world...Love to all...Dave...
