Before God
by David G. Rose
One of the most sobering scriptures you will read is found in 2 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.”
But it is also important to understand that we are living each day in the sight of God. Is He pleased with your daily actions, comments, and desires? What is the proper way to live before God each day?
First, we must understand that before God we all stand guilty and condemned (Romans 3:19). Consider this question found in Job 41:10 NKJV, “Who then is able to stand against Me?”
The only way that we can come before God is through Christ. We read this powerful principle in John 14:6 NKJV, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
How are we to come before God through Christ?
1. We are to present ourselves to God through Christ in love. Ephesians 1:4 NKJV, “That we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” Anything less than love will diminish our appearance before the God of love.
2. We are to present ourselves to God through Christ in daily living. James 1:27 NKJV, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” Words matter. But actions count with equal fervor. Don’t just say, do.
3. We are to present ourselves to God through Christ in worship. Micah 6:6-8 NKJV, “With what shall I come before the LORD, And bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” Worship the Lord every minute of every day.
4. We are to present ourselves to God through Christ in prayer. Daniel 9:13 NKJV, “As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.” The truth remains that most people get into trouble when they refuse to bow their heads in prayer. They think that their wisdom and fancy footwork will sustain them. How sad.
5. Finally, we are to present ourselves to God through Christ in praise. Psalm 100:2 NKJV, “Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.” Praise and thanksgiving before God will lead to answered prayer and a fresh revelation of the glory of God.
Through Christ, make the effort to come before God today in a manner that will please Him. You will not be disappointed.

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 >>>>

His delight
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Psalm 1:1-5 ESV - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Prayer: Dear Lord, the scripture today reminds me that some of my attempts at finding happiness were selfish, unkind, and reprehensible. Please forgive those errors and help me to find my delight in your scriptures, and to meditate in them continually. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Our Responsibilities
As Believers
A Brief Study regarding the expectations
that Jesus has for His Believers
as found in John 17
The Word of God
by David G. Rose
We continue a new series of articles based in John 17 discussing our responsibilities as Believers. Along with the awesome privileges we have, there are critical obligations that we must embrace so we can fulfill the callings of Christ.
Our second responsibility is mentioned in John 17:8 NKJV, “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.” The powerful revelations that God gave to His Son, Jesus has given them to us.
Having received these truths, we now have the duty and responsibility to not only live by them, but to pass them on to future generations for their benefit. We must not bury these truths thinking that they are ours to only protect. That is a narrow and selfish position for Believers. We are to proclaim the Good News of His Word to a lost and confused world.
May our light so shine that others might see the Christ, and commit to following Him. This is our calling and blessing.
Next week: The Glory of Jesus
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.

Don't Worry. Be Happy!
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
Thought for Today: “Phil. 4:6 -“Do not be anxious”
Good News: Worry is definitely not a fruit of the spirit!
Galatians 5:22 reminds us just what the fruits are: Love, Joy, and Peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Frances de Sales said: Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit…” He also suggests that we “make friends with our trials”.
Deut. 12:7 says “You shall rejoice in all you put your hand unto and your households wherein the Lord our God has blessed you.
Here’s a nostalgic and colorful poem I recently wrote on the subject:
I worried my offspring would never grow up
----And now they’ve given me grands—
I worried I’d never ever grow old
--------- Now I’m an octogenarian gentlemen.
Worry is never a Fruit of the Spirit
-------But love, joy, and peace surely are—
Worry is worthless, but prayer is priceless
------Godly fruit is better by far.-DRR
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for Saint Matthew who reminds us: “Do not worry about tomorrow.” Don’t worry---be happy.” Amen.

Steps to
Finding
New Life
in Christ
If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
