Our Angels and Hearts for the Lost In popular culture the phrase “guardian angel” is used casually and as if it is a thing of luck. You will hear it used by those who don’t even believe in Jesus Christ. They just have a feeling that there is someone out there watching over them. For followers of Christ, it is not a fairytale. Angels are real and are all over the Scriptures and are created by God. They are servants of God to do His bidding. In our study today, Jesus makes reference to the unceasing work of angels on our behalf- that is the “little ones” those who are childlike in faith and humility. These are those who have put complete faith and trust in Jesus no matter what happens. Have you put total trust and faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior? If so these words of Jesus in Matthew 18:10-14 apply to you and are for you. 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in ...

Offenses and who is the Greatest The world says if you want to be great exact and exalt yourself and tell how wonderful you are. Beef up your resume if you want that great job. Tell them how great you are and that you are the best in your field. Sell yourself. All of that may be “common sense” for the world’s kingdom but is it Godly sense in God’s kingdom?

Note in our reading and study today, that the great that Jesus wants us to be is in the “kingdom of heaven” His kingdom. You can be great in this kingdom of the world and miss enter...

Our Unbelief “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief” Mark 9:24. That is the cry of the father whose son was tormented by the spirit of epilepsy. The disciples could not heal his son and now Jesus had to intervene and cast the spirit out and the son was made whole. The disciples asked why they could not heal the epileptic son. Jesus said, it is “because of your unbelief”. How often do we reach this point on daily basis? The disciples and all of us can learn from the father of the formerly epileptic boy. “Lord I believe, help my unbelief”. What are you facing today that you can cry out to the Lord, and say, “Lord I believe, help my unbelief”. I can tell you one of the most important things you and me are facing today; that is the salvation of a loved one or friend or co-worker. I am sure you have someone in that category. Heading to hell is worse than suffering epilepsy in this life. Only Jesus can heal both disease and sin. Let’s cry to him today for someone who is “spiritually epil...
