Love

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.    Romans 5:8

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlsting life.    John 3:16

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God: and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his onlly begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.  No man hath seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.    I John 4:7-12

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.  We love him, because he first loved us.    I John 4:16, 19

As the Fther hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commndments, and abide in his love.  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.  This is my commandment.  That ye love one another, as I have loved you.  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  these things I command you, that ye love one another.    John 15:9-13, 17

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love.  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullenss of God.    Ephesians 3:17-19

I love them that love me; and those that see me early shall find me.    Proverbs 8:17

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    Romans 8:38,39

We should never be discouraged – Take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful – Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness – Take it to the Lord in prayer,

Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge – Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?  Take it to the Lord in prayer;

In His arms He;ll take and shield thee-  Thou wilt find a solace there.

http://www.reasons.org

I am so excited to share this web site with you.  Putting it simply, this group of scientists and their other staff provide powerful new reasons from science to believe in Jesus.  I will keep it simple and just tell you the very basics of their beliefs.  I encourage you to go to their web site and explore.

WHAT THEY BELIEVE ABOUT:

Scripture: They believe the the Bible is the Word of God.  As a “God-breathed” revelation, it is thus verbally inspired and completely without error (historically, scientifically, morally, and spiritually) in its original writings.

Creation:  They believe that the physical universe is the visible creation of God.  That it declares God’s existence and gives a trustworthy revelation of God’s character and purpose.

God:They believe in one infinitely perfect, eternal and personal God who is the transcendent and sovereign Sustainer of the universe.

Person of Christ:The believe that Jesus Chrsit is both true God (second person of the Trinity) man (incarnate Son of God.) 

Person of the Holy Spirit:They believe that the Holy Spirit, is indeed a Divine Person, coequal with the Father and the Son.

Mankind:God created mankind in His image and likeness(having rational, moral, relational, and spiritual capibilites) to followship with Him and give Him glory.

Redemption:They believe God has acted sovereignly to bridge the gap that separates people from himself.  He sent His Son, born of a virgin, attested by miracles and by a sinless life, to bear the full penalty for humanity’s sin.

Justification:This is a judicial act of God’s grace wherein He acquits a person of all sin and accepts that person as righteous in His sight because of the imputed righteousness of Christ.

Resurrection:Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, conquering sin, death, and all the powers of Satan.

The Church:This is the spiritual body of Jesus Chrsit and that it encompasses all true believers at all times and places.

Future Things:The Lord Jesus Christ will return to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly to establish his glorious reign in a kingdom that will never end.

The Great Commission:Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

This is a very brief statement to wet your taste buds.  I hope that this will stir your interest to spend some time on their amazing web site.  They have so much to offer in the way of wisdom and knowledge.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  John 15:4,5,7

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  I John 1:5-7

GEORGE WASHINGTION

O eternal and everlasting God, …increase my faith in the sweet promises of the gospel; give me repentance from dead works; pardon my my wanderings, and direct my thoughts unto thyself, the God of my salvation; teach me how to live in thy fear, labor in thy service, and ever to run in the ways of thy commandments; make me always watchful over my heart, that neither the terrors of conscience, the loathing of holy duties, the love of sin, nor an unwillingness to depart this life, may cast me into the spiritual slumber, but daily frame me more and more into the likeness of thy son Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time attain the resurrection of the just unto eternal life bless my family, friends, and kindred.

–undated prayer from Washington’s prayer journal, Mount Vernon

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.    1 John 4:114

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.    Luke 1:47

PRAYER

One author said:  “Our fellowship with God is not meant to wait wntil we are in heaven.  god’s greatest desire, and our greatest need, is to be in constant fellowship with Him now, and there is no greater expression of experience of fellowship than prayer.”

Colossians 4:2  Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.

Vital Prayer Life

To have a vital prayer life we must have the right attitude.  We also must avoid pride, don’t be a hypocrite or try to impress others or God.  Make your prayers personal.  After all you are talking to your Heavenly Father and Creator.    And we must follow Christ’s example.  (See  Matthew 6:5-15-Sermon on the Mount)

Proclaim

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name . . .”

Start by expressing you love to God.  Express Adoration, Thanksgiving and Praise.  To get an idea about this read Psalms 146-150.

“Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with praise”

Purpose

“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven . . .”

Commit yourself to God’s purpose.  Align your self with His will.

See these verses for God’s will in scripture:  I Thessalonians 4:3-6, 5:18; Ephesians 5:15-17; John 7:16-17

Provision

“Give us this day our daily bread . . .”

Ask god to provide for your daily needs, but be sure your motives are right.  See the following verses:  Philippians 4:6,19; James 4:2,3 *; i John 5:14; John 16:13

Pardon

“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. . .”

Ask the Holy Spiritto reveal any sin and and accepts God’s forgivness.  Confess each sin and make restitution when ever necessary.  It is best to make things right before going to the Lord in prayer.  Here are some helpful verses:  Psalm139:23-24; Proverbs 28:13; matthew 5:23-24; I John 1:9

People

Pray for other people.  See I Timothy 2:1; Ephesians 1:15-19; Colossians 1:3-12; I Thessalonians 1:2-3 

Protection

Ask God for spiritual protection.

See Ephesians 6:10-12, 18 (the armor of God); I John 4:4

Then rest in his peace.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer an supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  and the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Phil. 4:6-7
