Do Not Forget That . . .

the earth is not our permanent home – we are all just passing through.

*How Humility Begins

        True humility begins with acknowledging to God that you are a sinner and need salvation with his help. There is no other way.

*Concern Devoid of Vanity

        Do not be concerned about leaving any legacy or making a mark on the world; be only concerned about storing up your treasures in heaven. 

Easy to Forget

        We usually realize that we need God when we are in a big jam, forgetting that we are dependent upon him every single moment. Wake up – God must be #1 in our life in every way!

Life's Most Essential Ingredient

        Those who do not know Christ have no idea how sad life would be without him. But those who know Christ realize this most keenly, for life would be meaningless without him, which is saying that life is completely fulfilled with him.

In God's Good Hands

        One day last month, I got sick and wondered how I was going to perform all the things that had been scheduled for the day after the next. So I placed myself completely at God's mercy. Knowing that I was in the best possible hands, I felt at peace. I did recover well enough the next day to perform all the tasks scheduled for the following day. It's best to trust in God and not worry, and he delivers. 

Urgency for Salvation!

        We are living in an imperfect, sinful world, facing tests every moment to see how perfect and holy we are. To fail these tests continuously is to invite self-condemnation at the end. How urgently we need Christ, the light of the world, the resurrection and the life, to save us for all eternity!  

*Most Foolish Game

        Also most common Game in town. You are so self-centered that you play God yourself, even though deep down you know you cannot save your own soul.

Sad Questions

        Our God the Father and our creator deservers all our trust and love, yet how many of his children truly know him and how many of those who know him truly love him?

Ideal Living

           Today I'll share thoughts that came to me within the last 5 weeks or so. 
     
      God can easily make us holy so that no evil dare touch or influence us anymore. Let him so transform you that you might enjoy living with inner peace.
