I do apologize for not updating the site or having my BTR shows on. I am under the weather and have no voice. Please bear with me.

Thanks,

Keep Your Faith Strong

Another morning and more glum news. The financial crisis is expanding around the globe, suicide bombers, and Presidential nominees who are unable to answer a question without trying to tear down their opponent.

Let's go into the book of Matthew.

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV

What is Jesus saying here. That by faith alone we can survive. Yes. God will provide for his faithful. I'm not saying you will wake up in the moring with money in the bank, but God will provide a way for you to take care of your basic needs. We do need to be attentive here. The opportunity will be offered and we must take it.

Passage of the Day October 7th

1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. Titus 3:1-8 NKJV

Read these words Paul wrote to Titus. Take them to heart today and remember that we are not to judge but to do good works toward others. We once too lived in sin and unknowing. Share the Good News with somebody today. Tell them that Jesus loves them.
