“OH, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever” – (Psalm 107:1)

This Psalm is wholly devoted to the praise of God’s mercy. In each of the twenty-six verses of (Psalm 107), we have the expression: “His mercy endures forever.” The Psalmist was full of this glad thought. Our hearts too should be filled with the blessed assurance. The everlasting, unchangeable mercy of God is cause for unceasing praise and thanksgiving. Let us read what is said about God’s mercy in the well known Psalm, …

This week is Thanksgiving and there is so much to be thankful for. I bet you and I could sit down and make quite the list of Just how the LORD has dealt bountifully this year with each of us. But concerning spiritual things I was thinking of things to thank the LORD for. That list was long, so I will give you four.

Four Things To Thank God For

1. That God Has Qualified U

Life is difficult for sure. Anyone of us could use help to live out this life on a day to day (if not minute to minute) basis. We all could not use another helper? But for the Christian, that has been provided already. We who are Christ’s, have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. (John 14:16-18) says,…..”And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, 17 “even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees …

Do you want to know God? I mean not just as an aquantance, but in a deep deep way. Then what you must do is get acquainted with Jesus through the pages of the Bible. (John 12:44-45)…..Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. “And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. Also, (John 14:7-10)…..”If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said …

Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Those are words from Paul to the believers in Rome. Prayer is a habit that, like every other good habit, must be developed. You know you need to pray. You need God’s help, His wisdom and His guidance, we need His help. But you must persevere in prayer. The activities of life try to keep you from praying. So persevere!

We are to keep watch at all times with prayer, that we might be strong enough to make it through all …

Did you know that the Bible tells you to imitate God? It does! Read (Ephesians 5:1-2). We are to be imitators of God, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. We have all seen someone imitating their parent, sibling, friend, hero, etc. Sometimes the person is glad, and sometimes embarrassed to be lifted to such a high place. However, we as children of God are supposed to imitate …

(Romans 8:31)…..What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? We all face opposition. No one likes it. But opposition is a fact of life on earth. Trials, difficulties, problems, opposition, are a reality for every human born on this planet. But here’s a more important fact: with God for us, opposition and the like doesn’t really matter. With God on our side, what does it matter who opposes us? The worst anyone can do is kill us, right? Being a martyr …

True Christianity is not a religion based on rules and rituals, but a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Many people reduce Christianity down to attending church meetings and trying not to commit a list of certain sins. But being a Christian is being united with Jesus, a member of His body, with His life in your heart. Jesus should be your focus, not religious activity, but the person of Jesus, the Lord and Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. Church …
