Jesus' Followers Are The Salt and Light of the World

-
Salt and Light “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-15

Jesus Foretells the Future Luke 21:5-38 5 Some of his disciples began talking about the majestic stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said, 6 “The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” 8 He replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and saying, ‘The time has come!’ But don’t believe them. 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.” 10 Then he added, “Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 “But b...

November 14,  2010 International  Day of Prayer I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be ...

My Prayer: I Seek You Early In the Morning

Prayers:      O God, you are my God;   I earnestly search for you.    My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you  in this parched and weary land where there is no water.  I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.   Your unfailing love is better than life itself;  how I praise you!    I will praise you as long as I live,  lifting up my hands to you in prayer.   You satisfy me more than the richest feast.   I will praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you,  meditating on you through the night.    Because you are my helper,  I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.  I cling to you;   your strong right hand olds me securely.   But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.  They will go down into the depth...

Use Me As An Instrument of Peace

-
Image
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury , pardon ; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy . O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console ; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned ; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen God is Love 1John 4:16

God will Hold You in His Hands

"You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall and like the heat of the desert...Isaiah 25:4-5" One summer heavy downpours flooded a large area near my childhood home.  The stroms were followed by blazing heat, making cleanup miserable .  Tears fill my eyes as I saw pictures and read news stories that described the devastation.  Then I read that area churches- and some from far away had provided temporary shelters and food for those whose homes were ruined.  What blessed relief it was for these hurting people to have some respite from the forces of nature beyond their control.   God is such a shelter.  Like a welcome shade in the summer heat or a strong wall of protection agaist storms, He is there for us when   life is overwhelming. Whether our distress comes from physical troubles,...

WAITING FOR JESUS

-
Image
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me; but he said to me, ‘You must not do that! I am a fellow-servant with you and your comrades the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!’ And he said to me, ‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.’ See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.’ Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practises falsehood. ‘It is I, Jesus, who sent my a...

Blessed is the Nation whose God is the LORD

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. Psalm 33:12 Mayor defends war memorial after group calls for removal of cross A mayor has come to the defense of a war memorial that features religious symbols and prayers after a national group called for the cross to be removed. “The Firefighter’s Prayer” is a 91-year-old memorial in a Rhode Island city that honors hometown soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending their country during World War I and II, MyFoxBoston.com reports. It has stood in the parking lot of the Woonsocket fire station for decades with no complaints, until earlier this year when the Freedom from Religion Foundation called for it to be stripped of the cross, claiming it violates the First Amendment’s freedom of religion clause.  The group also wants the Woonsocket Fire Department to remove “The Firefighter’s Prayer” and a picture of an angel from its website. “We ask that you immediately remove ...
