Ingratitude
Ingratitude often results from forgetting who God is, what He has done for us, and what He promises. “Ingratitude is a searing wind which dries up the springs of pity, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace.”
War
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Desire
Psalm 73:25-26 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Gratitude
The opposite of humility is pride, the epic center of every sin. Pride is what caused Satan to fall and the Fall of Adam and Eve. (Genesis 3 and Ezekiel 28:12-17) Pride prevents us form seeing the hand of God in daily life and causing us to focus on – Me!
A Sign
It was not luck or fortune that a man wrote a prediction 740 years before its time about one male baby who would be born under unusual circumstances. What were those circumstances?
Not Alone
Psalm 9:7-10 The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Thanksgiving Message
The Bible is filled with passages referring to giving thanks and praise. Psalm 95:2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Possible or Impossible?
Only God can bring or create the miracle of salvation; for any and every one without exception.
Preparing
Following the liturgical church year, we are currently in the” end times.” That means the focus is on what the bible says about the end of all things. There are numerous passages that speak of the end, especially revelation.
No Other Name
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
