Stay inspired in the word.

GREETINGS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This world of ours has witnessed many incredible things. Today we celebrate its very greatest mystery: God became man! Two thousand years ago, our Creator God became Emmanuel, God with us. On this day we mark the moment that God became incarnate as a baby born in a manger, and begin His trek toward the Cross.

Like 2:10-12 (NKJV) Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. [11] For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. [12] And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."

We needed a Savior for we could not redeem ourselves. God loved us so much that He sent His Son, the Holy Lamb of God, to pay the price for our forgiveness. Such love is amazing, overwhelming, astonishing and yet real. Why Christ would love us so much that He would come into our sin blighted and broken world to live among us, be betrayed, then suffer and die for us is beyond our understanding. Now that’s LOVE!

So how should we respond to such a gift? Thankfully, reverentially and thoughtfully are good ways to begin. Thankfully because we would have been lost had He not come and taken our place; reverentially, for a God so Holy that all of heaven praises Him deserves our deepest worship; and thoughtfully because we should not take what Christ did for us lightly or for granted.

Dear Jesus, thank You! I worship You, and today I focus my thoughts and attention upon You. I was not worthy, yet You came to redeem me anyway. The greatest gift anyone could ever possibly receive, not just today but any day, is the gift of salvation that You brought to us. How could I ever take it lightly?

Today I’m worshiping to MY JESUS I LOVE THEE BY DARLENE ZSCHECH

We love you and are praying for you. BE INSPIRED!

Greetings,

God wants you to enjoy the very best life you could possibly have! Does that surprise you? Many people believe that if they serve God, their life will be dull, boring, and unexciting. But that simply isn’t so!

Psalm 81:16 (NKJV) – “He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you."

How many people do you know who are truly satisfied? They might have fine cars, houses, clothes and many possessions—but their souls are still empty on the inside. The truth is, God wants to feed us with the “finest of wheat” and “honey from the rock,” until our souls are fully satisfied!

So, what does that mean? It means that you will never be truly happy until your “inner man” is filled. Possessions, fame and fortune are never enough to satiate the hunger within us for more of God.

My precious Father, feed me with Your goodness until I am so satisfied that I want no more! You are the Water of Life that quenches the thirst of my desperate soul. You are the Bread of Life that fills me completely. Let my heart be filled with You.

Today, I’m worshiping with Leon Timbo and “I Lean Not on My Own Understanding.”  

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

Child of God, never forget that God is not against you, He is FOR you! Based on the following scripture, I can assure you that He is on your side:

Psalm 56:9 (NKJV) – “When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because GOD IS FOR ME.”

Because we were born into this world as sinners who desperately needed a Savior, we must make a conscious decision to surrender our hearts and lives to Christ. But even after receiving salvation, many continue to think of themselves as a guilty criminal standing before a righteous Judge who just hasn’t been judged yet. Nothing could be further from the truth once He has cleansed and washed you with His blood. Such erroneous beliefs will certainly hinder your prayers and your worship!  

Because of His grace, God sought you out and then saved you. Jesus cared so much for you, that He willingly suffered the terrible penalty of crucifixion for you so that you could be saved and paid the price in full. Let’s rejoice in the fact that God is on our side! Each one of us is highly favored and loved by God!

Today, Lord Jesus, I declare what You have said about me to be true. I am clean, I am forgiven and I am Yours. You have accepted me and I thank You for paying what it cost for You to save me. I affirm that You are for me and not against me.

Today. I’m worshiping with Upper Room and “One Thirst.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

People who don’t know better question the reliability of the Bible. They believe that our faith is founded upon fables and myths. However the things that we have been taught from God’s Word are certain and sure.

Luke 1:3-4 (NKJV) – “it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, [4] that you may know the CERTAINTY of those things in which you were instructed.”

People say there have been errors in translation. How can we believe the Bible when it was translated incorrectly from one copy to another. They even say there are contradictions found in the scripture.

Here are the facts: each of the so-called contradictions is easily explained. There remain over 5,000 ancient copies of the Bible written in Greek—plus another 8,000 copies in Latin, and 1,000 in other languages. Complete books from the Bible have been found that were written hundreds of years before Christ was born. As further proof of its reliability, tens of thousands of citations are still available from early church fathers who wrote them in the early centuries.  

Where are all of the mistranslations? They aren’t there.

If we compare the Bible with other written documents from ages past, only 2,000 copies from Homer still exist, 7 from Plato, 49 from Aristotle, 10 from Caesar, and 20 from Tacitus. Yet no one ever questions whether they are accurate. With so many more manuscripts of the original texts remaining of the Bible, why doesn’t everyone accept it as accurate? I think you already know the answer!

Father, we thank You for the certainty of Your Word that is forever settled in the heavens! I’m glad that I can rely upon the truthfulness of Your promises. If You said it, I believe it, for You cannot lie.

Today, I’m worshiping with All Nations and “Yahweh.”  

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
