Walking In The Light

            “What is walking in the light?” in reference to 1 John 1:5-10.  1 John 2:6 lets us know that if we say we abide in Him we ought to walk just as He walked. Christ tell us He is the light. (John 8:12) Therefore, we must follow Him and walk like Him to be in the light. (John 12:35-36) Hebrews 5:8 and John 4:34 lets us know that Christ walked in obedience to God.  John 12:48-50 in conjunction with Matt. 28:18-20 lets us know that we have to receive and keep Christ’s commands. We have to keep and receive Christ’s commands just like He did the Fathers. (Phil. 2:5-11) We can confirm this with Revelation 20:11-15. Where the small and great are judge according to their works by the things written in the books, the bible. Matthew 25:31-46 shows us what judgment will look like and be like.  Christ is the author of eternal life for all those who obey Him. (Heb. 5:9) Walking in the light is walking in Christ. Walking in Christ is faithfully receiving and keeping His commands.

What are you doing to faithfully walking in the light?

    “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:12

“While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.” John 12:36

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15

 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:2-3

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

The Quiet Work

“For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).      We often think that to do big things; then earth-shattering events need to be taking place around us. The Good Samaritan did a big thing, and there was not even a mention of an earthquake. Sometimes the road to success and greatness is filled with little things done right. It’s a road where every brick was placed with care, love, and service. We pursue excellence in everything that we do. We want to be great in the kingdom of God. Everyone does. Jesus says to achieve this we need to be a servant. A servant is a quiet, hardworking, and devoted person. They don’t make waves in the ocean. However, they make constant ripples in the pond. The reason for this being as servants of God, we serve everyone, everywhere, every time. That means we quietly serve everyone, even the unserviceable, undeserving, uncaring, and undesirable. No, it doesn’t bring down buildings and ch

It's A Location Problem

       Two men were walking down a street on opposite sides. It began to rain. It only rained on one side of the road. At the next crosswalk, the man who had walked in the rain looked at the other and said, "How are you dry?" he replied with this one word, "Location." We need to understand that location plays a huge role in a lot of things in our lives. Everything from our character to our mental stability is effect by our location. It would make complete sense that where our heart was located would determine how we live. Our treasure is where our heart is. Meaning that what you will live for, work for, die for, and yearn for whatever our heart is set on. As Christians, our hearts should be in God. If it is, the perfect law of liberty becomes the greatest blessing in the world. It turns from a daunting list of dos and don'ts to a beautiful guide to greatness. It's all about where your heart is. Then that leaves us with this question, "Where is your he
