James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Thought for today…

The wisdom of God that comes down to us from heaven is available if we are willing to yield. One of the most significant keys to unlocking God’s riches in your life is a willingness to listen, a willingness to learn and a willingness to yield to God’s wisdom in exchange for choosing your way.

II Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Thought for today…

God’s word is powerfully effective. It is the trusted source to turn to when we need to correct our path, and when we need instruction and guidance. If you want to be “complete” as a person, not struggling with gaps of inefficiency in your life, place yourself in the presence of the Bible and make it a part of your life.

Mark 1:17 – Follow Me

Mark 1:17

Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

Thought for today…

Accepting Christ as your Savior makes you a Christian, but receiving His call to “follow me” makes you a disciple. Jesus wants to give you more than a “ticket to heaven,” He wants to give you an abundant life here on earth. When God is using you to impact others for all eternity, that is abundant life. Make yourself available to Him today and become a fisher of men.

Isaiah 6:8

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Thought for today…

Your journey to know God’s grand plan for you begins with a willing heart. Ask God to help you understand the most significant unmet needs around you. Then, ask Him how He might use you to meet those needs. Once He speaks, respond with a willing heart and take action saying, “Here am I, send me.”

Ephesians 4:32 – Be Kind, Tenderhearted, And Forgiving

Ephesians 4:32 – Be Kind, Tenderhearted, And Forgiving

This Week’s Theme: The Power of Love – by Ken Turner, June 1, 2018

Ephesians 4:32

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Thought for today…

Life is full of challenges, and many of those challenges involve people. Since God is kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving toward us, why not be more kind, more tenderhearted, and more forgiving to those around you? It’s this kind of behavior that impacts the world and opens doors to share the gospel.

Luke 10:27

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Thought for today…

When we love God with all our heart, with a heart fully devoted to Him, it comes natural to love our neighbors and do all we can to make a difference in the lives of others.
