TIRED? WORN OUT? EXHAUSTED?

We all get this way sometimes. Here is Jesus' advice. “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30KJ “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you;ll learn to live freely and light.” The Message

HAGGLES

“The buyer haggles over the price, saying, ‘It’s worthless.’ Then brags about getting a bargain!” Proverbs 20:14

NEW NEW NEW

There are many new things. Here are three new things worth considering. “...changed into a new and different people.” Galatians 6:15 NLT. “...new mercies (compassion) morning by morning...” Lamentations 3:23. “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth...” Revelation 21:1

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

A very important part of the Christmas story is that God came “to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.” Luke 1:74,75 NIV. We, in America, have been delivered from our enemies; both from within and without. Now we must serve Him not our selfish desires. If we serve Him we win. If we serve ourselves our enemies win. God help America!

I DIDN'T DO IT

“Who can say, ‘I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin’?” “…the blood of Jesus, His (God’s) Son, cleanses us from all sin.” Thank God for the hope we have in Jesus. Proverbs 20:9, 1 John 1:7 NLT

I ONLY HAD ONE, OFFICER

Some say there’s nothing wrong with a drink now and then. But what about the next one, or two, or three…? “Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls, Those led astray by drink cannot be wise.” Proverbs 20:1 NLT

DRUNKENESS & GLUTTONY

A tough Scripture after Thanksgiving day. “Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags.” Proverbs 23:20,21
