Joy! Trifecta of God’s Kingdom

Posted in Christ, Joy, Podcast, tagged , on December 20, 2021| 1 Comment »

“For the kingdom of God is … righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.”

Romans 14:17-18

This was written to a diverse group of believers in an international city, Rome, blending many ideas and cultures.

Some were vegetarians and others were carnivores, some revered special days (the Jewish culture had many holidays with fasting and feasting, totally lost on those not Jewish) others disregarding.  Paul indicates these are not what’s important in God’s kingdom.

There are three important things in God’s Kingdom: 1) Righteousness; 2) Peace; and 3) Joy from the Holy Spirit – here is where the focus should be.

We should allow each other to enjoy Jesus!

If your faith is not allowing you to live at peace with God and have Joy in your heart, something is wrong. Be fully convinced in what you think is “right” while allowing others to be “wrong”, in your opinion.  Encourage even the “wrong” ones to love Jesus and serve him with joy and peace. Don’t be shaken by what someone else thinks of how you serve Jesus.

Prayer: “Jesus, for this new week, help me to find a way to enjoy you in what I do, to live in the peace of Christ, and act right, allowing others to do the same.

Throwback Thursday: Purpose for “Lost” Causes

Our Throwback, this week, is from April 2nd, 2010; The purpose for “lost” causes

If some things will never change, why do anything about them; they are lost causes, why not cut our losses and move on? But God doesn’t cut his losses and move on, “lost causes” have their purpose.

Faith Change – Hymn: I must Tell Jesus

Posted in Christ on July 9, 2018| Leave a Comment »

I found a better way for me to sing the old hymn, “I Must Tell Jesus”

I have told Jesus all of my trials;
I do not bear these burdens alone;
In my distress, He kindly did help me
He every loves and cares for his own.

Chorus:
I have told Jesus!  I have told Jesus!
I do not bear my burdens alone;
I have told Jesus!  I have told Jesus!
Jesus has helped me, Jesus alone.

I have told Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
I did but ask him, He did deliver,
Made of my troubles, quickly an end.

Tempted and tried I have a great Savior;
One who has helped my burdens to bear;
I have told Jesus, I have told Jesus,
He all my cares and sorrows has shared.

O how the word to evil allured me!
O how my heart was tempted to sin!
I have told Jesus, he has enabled
Over the world the vic'try to win.
