Mature Christians focus on God's continuous blessings, despite unworthiness. We exploit His goodness, yet He responds with abundant blessings. Let gratitude fill each day, praising Him for protection, provision, and peace. Pray for an end to sin-driven war and violence, but prioritize God's peace in our lives. Give thanks for His mercy and the peaceful existence He provides. https://lnkd.in/gY2Sv4YxCheck out my blog post https://wix.to/IsiblWX#newblogpost

It gives you peace and gives you grace not to take revenge knowing that God will recompense. Today I pray that grace will cause you to cloth yourself in meekness. That others will see and follow your example of love towards others and come into salvation receiving Christ as Lord.

Past and future hold no meaning; mature Christians focus on God's continual blessings. Unworthy, yet He grants us peace despite our ingratitude. Let us daily thank and praise Him for His protection, provision, and bounty, seeking His peace above all.Check out my blog post https://wix.to/TYaNtZ https://lnkd.in/g4jjWryg#newblogpost

It matters if Jesus died for us because it is only through the sacrificial death of Christ that we can be saved from the righteous judgment of God the Father. Explore a few Scriptures on this topic at: https://lnkd.in/gV2PNZWX

"Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the Lord?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God" (Prov. 30:7-9). There's a relationship between simplicity and peace. Having too little or too much wealth can lead to worry, interrupting our peace and tempting us away from the truth. Instead, we should strive to live a simple life independent of pursuing wealth, built on trusting God's provision and using that provision to honor His name. Have a great start to your week. Please keep it simple.

Why is there such a strong opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ? As a missionary for over 40 years, Delron and his wife, Peggy, teach and disciple evangelists in foreign countries through their ministry. They are holding pastors’ and leaders’ conferences all over the world and have many of their books translated into their local languages. Watch this episode and hear the tremendous stories of many people who value the truth of God’s Word more than their own lives. This is a MUST see!

We don’t do the things we do in Christ to keep from being punished; we do them because he has given us victory! That victory is ours because of our faith in Christ. Read today's post on From Fear to Faith: https://zurl.co/DvpT
