ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

Ephesians 5:6-7, 11 KJV Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.  image from thomsondata.blogspot.com Are we allowing ourselves to be deceived by vain words? Is the person we are being deceived by none other than ourselves? What have we convinced ourselves is ok? And according to what standards are these convictions? Time is too far spent for toeing the line between worldliness and godliness.  It is the season, if there ever was one, that our no is no and our yes is yes. With fear and trembling is how we are to work out our own salvation; with fear and trembling, or in other words, extra-carefulness. We can not afford to take chances with so great and precious as this salvation. What lines have you grown comfortable with toeing or even crossing? Spend some tim

1 John 4:16-18 King James Version (KJV) 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.

Psalms 62:1-2, 5-6, 11-12 KJV Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. Our Father wants us to remember that he sees and and hears all. He is the master of the universe and nothing happens without his knowledge of it. He is aware of your every move and circumstance and he is all powerful and full of mercy. He is doing a work that is larger than you can even comprehend. Your life is in good hands. Trust- He knows what he is doing. As for God his way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is tried. He is a sheild to all those who put his trust in Him. Trust- He knows wha
