What is the Kingdom of Heaven?
Another parable Jesus put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32
The kingdom of heaven is not like an earthly kingdom, with...

Wait, Keep Holding On
God made you a promise. He didn’t bring you this far to drop you off and abandon you. The God I know would NEVER do that. He’s a God that’s all for promotion and constant growth. Just because the pressures on and things look bleak doesn’t mean it’s time to give up. Remember, diamonds were once lumps of coal and pearls just a tiny grain of...

Build Up Blocks Brightness
God’s light cannot shine through us if there is an abundance of filth blocking it. Confess your sins and commit to living a Holy life.

Walk In the Light
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-7

My Walk With Christ: Turn my Swag Off →
selfless-kid:
Most people would agree that the word Swag or Swagger is associated with one’s appearance, style, or the way one presents themselves.
The world is good at taking words and giving them their own definitions and meanings, but if we are speaking words over our own lives and professing to be the…

WHERE I HAVE AND HAVE NOT BEEN
I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would...

Encouraged By a Cell Phone
OK,
To all of you that use the cell phone light like I do, I just want to say this. For me, as I was walking through my dark house trying to get to my bedroom, it was truly an exercise in faith. I could only see the light at my feet. I had to trust that even though I could only see three feet in front of me, if I kept following this light, I would get there. It reminded me of a scripture in...

I Know I'm Late But...
Happy new year all! Be blessed! Some advice: If you did it on your own last year and found little to no success, use this year to give Jesus a test drive (Taste and see that the Lord is good Ps 34:8) and see that He doesn’t multiply last years results. Serve Him WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
This Is Who I Am: Forget Not God's Benefits →
thepaulzone:
I love the brutal honesty of the psalmists who often examined themselves and presented what they found to God. I think more of us could use a bit of that in our closet time with God. Too bad we are so busy that we rarely even reflect on our own condition. Consider Psalm 73 for just a few…

Before Blessing Comes Brokeness
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. Mark 14:22-24

Today God is doing something in your life. You may not see it, hear it, or feel it because it’s spiritual. Your prayers have been heard and the prayers of those who have been praying for you. God has sent angels out on your behalf to work out your situation.
You are a co-heir with Christ. A…

Who Started Christmas
This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable. And after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the...

STOP.
absolutelyinlovewithhim:
Stop comparing yourself to other people. Some people are great singers, some are really smart and others are great athletes. But none of them are, or ever could be you. You are one of a kind. So stop comparing yourself to other people. You can’t be them any more than they can be you.
