Seven Letters to Seven Churches-Ephesus Part 1

Wally has finally made it to the churches the Revelation letters were written to!
All joking aside, there is some great background information about Ephesus here.

Daniel

VerseD: Micah 7:18

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.
Micah 7:18, ESV

God overlooked ignorance of sin for thousands of years. He removes our sin now.

Why?

Because He delighted to come to us, to sacrifice Himself, so that, when we believe in this, He lavishes His love, grace, and forgiveness on us.

Powerful Words

Hear (or rather READ) my words: catch David’s words about the Word’s word about words over at Proverbial Thought. Good stuff.

Proverbs 12:6

“The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.”
“The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush, but the words of the godly save lives.” (NLT)

The Power of Words

Words have great power. Words can build up, and words can tear down. Words can point in the right direction, but words can also lead astray. Words can encourage, and words can cripple. Words can heal, and words can hurt. There can be no doubt that words spoken thoughtlessly or without wisdom can cause untold damage. The statement in this proverb that words can be like a murderous ambush provides a serious warning about how we choose to speak, and the words that leave our lips.

VerseD: Habakkuk 2:14

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:14, ESV

One day, Christ shall return. The Eternal Kingdom will reign on Earth, and all Creation shall give glory to God!

VerseD: James 4:3

You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
James 4:3, ESV

Too many teach God wanting our happiness and to give us good things to make us comfortable.

God desires His Word to be shared to save the lost, and He gives us what we ask for to achieve that goal.

Hmmmm …

SLIMJIM's avatarThe Domain for Truth

Seems like today people often object to Christianity from the worldview of Naturalism.

Seven Letters to Seven Churches-Introduction Part 4

VerseD: Psalm 55:22

Cast your burden on the Lord , and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22, ESV

God will help you believe and remain faithful.

Ultimately, He will bring you to His side, beside the immovable, immutable One.

Because of Christ.

VerseD: Mark 11:24

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24, ESV

The only condition here is “according to God’s will.” In Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are conforming to His likeness with access to His mind.

Believe in God, and pray for this world and your witness to it.
