a God-Filled Life

Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine....Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone looking down on God’s Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live disciplined lives. But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching, your words solid and sane. Then anyone who is dead set against us, when he finds nothing weird or misguided, might eventually come around. ~ Titus 2:5-8        

the aroma of Jesus

“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.” May the aroma of Jesus permeate our words and actions drawing others to God (2 Corinthians 2:14).

enduring pressures

Exodus 18:23 'If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure the pressures...' - It is always good to get advice and counsel from others before proceeding. - But after all the advice we need to hear from God and follow His instructions. - When we do what He tells us to do, we can handle anything that comes our way. - Let us endeavour to hear His voice on all matters and obey His leading in our lives. PRAYER: Lord, thank You that I don't have to walk this road alone and in my own wisdom. I pray that You will come and lead and guide me so that I can walk in Your ways and avoid unnecessary pressures. Amen. Pastor Andrew Roebert ALIVE TO GOD

You're shattered like you've never been before The life you knew In a thousand pieces on the floor And words fall short in times like these When this world drives you to your knees You think you're never gonna get back To the you that used to be Beginning - Just let that word wash over you It's alright now Love's healing hands have pulled you through So get back up, take step one Leave the darkness, feel the sun Cause your story's far from over And your journey's just begun Tell your heart to beat again Close your eyes and breathe it in Let the shadows fall away Step into the light of grace Yesterday's a closing door You don't live there anymore Say goodbye to where you've been And tell your heart to beat again Let every heartbreak and every scar Be a picture that reminds you Who has carried you this far 'Cause love sees farther than you ever could In this moment heaven's working Everything for your good ...

take this HOPE seriously

Friends don’t you let anyone anything cheat you of this hope; it is your spiritual lifeline. You have barely begun to take hold of it. Do not let anything diminish the beauty, power and significance of this hope above all hopes. Jesus lived the way He did in this world, for this world, because His hope was set beyond this world; that is the secret of his life. He never lost sight of where He was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God – He could put up with anything along the way; cross, shame, whatever. And now He’s there…I the place of honor, right alongside with God. Oh yes, we need to make this practical. we need to take this hope so seriously we sell everything to buy this field. We must make this utterly real and tangible so that over time our souls are truly anchored by it. Of all the things we could do that would be most practical, that has the most staggering implications. Friends it is as simple as this; if you do not give your heart over to the renewal of...
