Be the light...a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

A candle losing nothing by lighting another candle…

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven...Matthew 5:14-16. for you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord; and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of. But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light...Ephesians 5:8-13. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin...1 John 1:6-7.


Are you light or darkness…do you do what is good and right and true or do you live by some other standard?

The morality of the Ten Commandments is the light unto our feet for if we understand love your neighbor as yourself you will naturally keep the ten commandments. Have you received from any other table other than God…you shall not have no other gods before Me. Have you used God’s name in any other way other than prayer or teaching…you shall not take the name of God in vain. Have you worshipped the created…you shall not make any graven images. Have you kept yourself Holy so you can worship God…remember the sabbath day and to keep it Holy. The Jews had to offer animal sacrifices if they had sin and therefore were in the sinners section unless they kept the other nine commandments. Jesus in talking to the woman at the well said the Father seeks those who walk in Spirit and Truth to worship Him. Have you respected your dad and mom…honor your Father and mother. Have you murdered…you shall not kill. Have you committed sex with another’s spouse…you shall not commit adultery. Have you wanted what God has not given you…you shall not covet. Have you bore false witness or lied…you shall not bear false witness. Have you stolen something not yours…you shall not steal. It is all summed up in what is said by Jesus…


and you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:30-31.


Prayer

Father we renounce satan and any form of darkness…help us to be the light and to love You with all of our heart, mind, soul, spirit, and strength please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our pasts in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you worth your salt...

Are you worth your salt…

You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor (saving influence), wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men...Matthew 5:13. For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11. I charge you in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables...2 Timothy 4:1-4.


Salt not only has a taste but is a preservative extending the life of the meat it preserves. It helps save it from rot. We are the saving or preserving influence here on earth. If we have lost our saltiness then we are good for nothing. Are you worth your salt?


We will all appear before Judge Jesus either; we have done good deeds or evil and be judge properly for our deeds done. It is the fear of God knowing we will be judged for our deeds which should cause us to behave according to being judged for good deeds. Do you preach the word? Or do you preach opinions of men? Do you teach others through example and word? We are to reprove the errors we hear make the sayings line up with the truth or cause someone to rethink their position. We are to rebuke or just tell them they wrong. We are to exhort or to encourage others to be faithful with the truth from the New Agreement of Christ and teach the truth of Jesus and His Church.


Prayer

Father please help us be worth our salt and help us preach the word and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You access the grace of God through baptism…saved by grace

 

You access the grace of God through baptism…saved by grace...

For by grace (Jesus’s favor of dying on the cross and God raising Him from the dead) have you been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works (an action we do not deserve), that no man should glory. For we are His (God’s) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them...Ephesians 2:8-10.


(Jesus) who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works...Titus 2:14.


What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death...Romans 6:1-3?


In whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead...Colossians 2:11-12.


Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin...Romans 6:3-6.


I marvel that you are so quickly removing from Him that called you in the grace (death and resurrection) of Christ unto a different gospel; which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema (accursed)...Galatians 1:6-8.


For there is one God, one Mediator also between God and men, Himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times...1 Timothy 2:5-6.


Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us...Romans 8:33-34.

For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ...Galatians 3:26-27.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for Your grace which saves us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus…please cover us in Your grace, mercy, peace, joy, and love and meet our soul’s deepest needs for repentance so we can be right before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
