Revelation 14-16

In Revelation 16 we see the great power of God, the wickedness of humanity and the unwillingness to repent. We see how the kingdoms of earth will all crumble. Chapter 16 is a difficult chapter to read. It will be such a horrible time, yet even that is temporary. The sufferings of Hell are eternal. Scripture is clear that there are two eternal destinations. We have the answer of how to live with God forever, are you willing to tell others about it? 

 We know that God wins in the end, yet we know that he has charged us with spreading His gospel to the world. We live in a society that is focused on legacy. "Being remembered". Why? Should that be what drives the way that we live our lives? If this life is temporary, and we are to be eternally focused should we be hoping that people remember us, or that they remember Jesus? 

Listen to this song and ask God to open your eyes to someone in your life that needs to hear the gospel message.

2 Thessalonians 1-3

There are a lot of significant thoughts about the return of the Lord Jesus in 2 Thessalonians, but there is something else of great importance that we can be doing right now. We can be praying for missionaries.    We talk a lot about the need for praying for missionaries.  We also need to talk a lot about how we should be praying for them.  Here is an acronym, taken from Scripture, that may be of some help. The acronym spells PEWBOARD.  It reminds us that although it may seem insignificant to us that all we are doing is sitting on a pew, we can be a vital part of missionary work.  We can pray.   There are a lot of missionary agencies, boards, and sending societies, on which we will never serve, but just because we are on the “pewboard” doesn’t mean we are ineffective in supporting those on the front lines.   All throughout the epistles we read of personal prayer requests from that great missionary – the Apostle Paul.  His specific prayer concerns can be a pattern to help us to

Colossians 1-2

Colossians 2 speaks of being rooted in Christ. How is that possible to be rooted in Christ? It is possible through growing in your relationship with Him, that comes with time. How long does it take for a tree’s roots to grow deep? It takes a while, it does not happen overnight. We grow in that relationship through the study of the Word, fellowship with believers, prayer and other spiritual disciplines. We grow in that relationship as we go through this life and turn to Him again and again. Reading through this chapter reminded me of this older song by Phillips, Craig and Dean. Chapter 2 speaks of being alive in Christ. We are alive in Christ! https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_0_1jazh454 Actually, this week's Bible study touches on some of these same themes. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_81kE14c6zI&feature=youtu.be
