Basic Lessons
by David G. Rose
Every job has fundamental duties. Some of those duties included knowing where to enter the passcode in the alarm system, expected hours to work, and how to complete various reports of accountability. Each business has different lessons to learn, but all were required to succeed.
As a Christian, the scriptures provide many lessons for the Believer to learn. Of the many critical instructions we should master, we will briefly highlight 7 notable lessons that every Believer must learn to be successful in their walk with God.
1. Learn the way of Salvation - Psalm 25:5 NKJV, “Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.” Salvation is found through Christ alone. Not through good works or personal sacrifices.
2. Learn the ways of God - Psalm 27:1, “Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.” We must understand that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No other book, philosophy, or religion leads to God.
3. Learn the paths of God - Psalm 25:4, “Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.” The world says that there are many paths to God, and that we can choose whatever path is comfortable to us. Untrue! Jesus is the only way, and the path we walk must conform to the Word and Will of God.
4. Learn the statutes (laws) of God - Psalm 119:12, “Blessed are You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes.” A Christian that does not know the laws of God is dangerous, lazy, and rebellious. The new Believer rightfully has a lot to learn. But the seasoned veteran is expected to grow daily in the Word, too.
5. Learn to pray - Luke 11:1, “Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.’” Many Christians like to sing, go to church, and discuss the Bible. But to take time to pray and commune with the Lord is often ignored. All spiritual progress begins on our knees before the Throne of God.
6. Learn to have good judgment and knowledge - Psalm 119:66, “Teach me good judgment and knowledge. For I believe Your commandments.” The successful Christian loves and studies the Word of God. It is the foundational steps we can take to grow in moral and ethical dimensions that please Him.
7. Learn to cherish each day you live - Psalm 90:12, “So teach us to number our days, that we main gain a heart of wisdom.” The wise Believer understands their own frailty and the uncertainty of life. Knowing that life is short, we must live to reflect the Savior that resides within our soul, and die having acquired the favor of God.
These 7 lessons may be challenging. But the precious Holy Spirit has promised to be out Helper, and He will guide us into all truth. (John 16:13)

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

Pray for Hill Country flood victims
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Ruth 4:9-10 ESV - Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and to Mahlon. Also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his native place. You are witnesses this day.”
Prayer: Dear Lord, this story regarding Boaz is a powerful reminder that you keep your word. Often my judgments are flawed. Like Naomi and Ruth, help me to study your word and to trust you more. You will never fail, and your reasoning is far better than my best guess. May I be faithful to you. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
7 Promises for
Hard Times
7 Promises that Jesus has made for Believers who are experiencing hard times
Study is based in John 16
Christ's Intercession
by David G. Rose
In this series of brief articles based in John 16, we are discussing 7 Promises for Hard Times that Jesus has pledged for His children. Jesus warns His disciples that they would soon be experiencing great trials and suffering. But Jesus offers hope and help. So far, we discussed that Jesus promised to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit will guide and teach us, that Christ will return for us, that He will answer prayer, and that He will intercede for us with the Father.
Today, we discuss Christ’s promise of peace. Jesus comforts in John 16:33 KJV, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Through His blood on the Cross, Jesus has brought peace to mankind. And when Christ resurrected from the grave, He guaranteed peace for all who believe.
This peace is not a result of anything that we can do, nor is it based in our circumstances. It is a peace that Jesus provides and the world cannot take it away. Never doubt. Only believe that Jesus Himself is the source of eternal peace.
Next week: The Promise of Victory
All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.

ITSY BITSY SPIDER
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Phil.4:13—I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Remember this charming children’s song?
The Itsy Bitsy spider went up the water spout-
Down came the rain and washed the spider out”
It’s a colorful reminder that we all have challenges to face in life, right? If we look for excuses to sit idle, we can find them too.
Many successful folks have had big problems to face.
The famous classical icon Beethoven wrote many renowned musical selections although deaf. (Ode to Joy, Moonlight Sonata) The famous artist Claude Monet was legally blind, yet presented the world with lasting art masterpieces.
Helen Keller was both blind and deaf yet wrote words that still bless us today. Fanny Crosby wrote hundreds of gospel hymns although she was blind.
Sometimes, it’s just ‘Mind over matter”—God’s heavenly mind for us, over our earthly matters.”
Ruth Copeland wrote the book: “I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT—SO I DID IT ANYWAY” Wow, what a great inspiration to the rest of us struggling to overcome person problems.
What has God gifted you to do? With his divine help and maybe some friends, we can accomplish much more for the Kingdom of God.
Even the Itsy Bitsy Spider made it up the spout again.
PRAYER: Lord with your help today, I can do all things that you ask of me. What will thou have me to do? Amen.
