As churches begin #regathering, we can find stability by congregating with other believers.  Whether it is online worship, zoom meetings with small groups, or limited #socialdistance in person services, we can all draw strength from other Christ followers.  What kind of relationship should we expect to form when we join together with other Christians?  Did Paul have any reason to believe that he would be accepted by the church he zealously persecuted?  If you have ever missed a couple of meetings in a row, you should have felt a longing to be back with your family.  If you have stopped attending altogether, you may not even remember what it is you are missing.  What does Paul mean by his joy and future crown?  What can we learn from Roman soldiers about standing firm?  Since we can’t run around in Roman armor, how are we to stabilize our Christian stance?

STRENGTH OF THE LIVING GOD

from Barbara's Bible

How is your #strength these days ?   Do you have a regime of #walking, #exercising, #cleaning, and #eating to maintain good health during times of isolation and masks and demonstrations?  Maybe you’re coping by sheltering inside just watching TV or Videos.  If I had to guess, I would say that you have not read a prayer from Habakkuk chapter 3 in the Holy Bible.  Soooo here goes: The prophet Habakkuk was very troubled by the wickiness of the people and pleads for God to intervene.   “O Lord revive Thy work ..with radiance of rays flashing from God’s hand for there is the hiding of Thy power..”  Habakkuk wanted God to judge their evil ways.  He sought a place of solitude to wait on God’s answer where   he learned that the just must live by faith & the righteous shall be preserved during troubled times.  vs.13 “Thou went forth for the salvation of Thy people by striking the head of the house of the evil….. Yet I will exult in the LORD and rejoice in GOD of my salvation for THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH.”  Peter writes about strength in the New Testament 1Peter4:11 “Whoever speaks and serves of the utterances of God, let them do so by the STRENGTH WHICH GOD SUPPLIES: so that God maybe glorified”  In times like these we need strength from the LIVING GOD who is just waiting for your call.  Psalm 105:1,4 “CALL upon HIS NAME…SEEK the LORD AND HIS STRENGTH”

These days most people want to #change your mind.  #Jesus Christ promised to change more than that now and when He returns.  For now, when you come to a saving knowledge and relationship with the Lord your mind will be renewed.  When Christ returns He will give His followers a new body, too.  Do we know when that will be?  What will a new body involve?  Why will that be necessary?  What examples did Jesus give us with His new body after resurrection?

THE LIVING GOD STANDS

from Barbara's Bible

United we stand divided we fall is a statement I heard in school from first grade onward thru many wars, trials, and tribulations.  Seems to me that many individuals believe that diversity and harmony cannot coexist; however, I have observed many people standing by the word of God around the world with love in their hearts for their fellow man.  I have two grown children sitting in wheelchairs, but they are standing on the word of God.  “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL STAND FOREVER” Isaiah 40:8  Words, words, words, we hear so much hot air over various media.  What withstands the turbulence?  the right foundation? – Stand on God’s Word.  Does God stand?  “Behold (Jesus, first & last, the Alpha and Omega), I STAND AT THE DOOR and knock:  if ANYONE hear my voice and open the door, I WILL COME INTO HIM and dine with him and he with me.” Revelation 3:20   (no discrimination)  Listen for God’s voice through all the noise and doorbells.  Know His special knock , open your heart & invite Him in.  You will receive His grand prize – “To the one that overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne” Rev.3:21   STAND WITH GOD NOW & ETERNALLY

When you think ahead to the inevitable end of this #life, do you feel #scared, #anxious, #confused, or #excited?  Christians have something to look forward to at the end of this life.  Not in the sense that they can’t wait, but that there is a reward at the end of the race.  Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, who were Roman citizens, to remind them that they were also citizens of an even better place.  Where should our focus be?  We look forward to the return of the Savior.  How should we prepare?  Who is the Savior, is it a politician, a celebrity, or a current leader?  What will be different about Jesus when He returns in the fullness of God?  Is it possible to be so heavenly minded that you’re of no earthly good?
