Psalm 3

Imagine what your church would be like if every member took these Scriptures to heart.

I am trying to imagine what I would be like if we lived these out with greater consistency!

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS


1) "The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hall and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up."
(~ Revelation 8:7 )

2) "The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something Uke a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown Into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed."
(~ Revelation 8:8-9 )

3) "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter."
(~ Revelation 8:10-11 )

4) "The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night."
(~ Revelation 8:12 )

5) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they could only harm those that have not the seal of God in their foreheads."
(~Revelation 9:3-4 )

6) And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand."

(~ Revelation 11:15 )

A Heart That Loves God

For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

~ Hosea 6:6

No amount of activity for God will ever take the place of a heart that is right with Him.

Through the ages God's people have been persuaded that they could please Him through their service and their offerings, regardless of their heart condition.

King Saul offered generous sacrifices, hoping God would overlook his disobedience.

( ~ 1 Samuel 15:22-23 )

David may have assumed that after all he had done on God's behalf, God would overlook his sin

( ~ 2 Samuel 12:7-15 )

Ananias and Sapphira thought that their generous gift to the church would compensate for their deceitfulness

( ~ Acts 5:1-11 )

Paul was certainly one who had thought his zealousness would please God.

After his conversion, however, he concluded that even if he had faith to remove mountains, gave all he had to feed the poor, and offered his body to be burned for the sake of God, and yet had a heart that was not right, it would all be for nothing

( ~ 1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

We are susceptible to the same misunderstanding as all of these people were.

We can be deceived into assuming God is more interested in our activity for Him than He is in the condition of our hearts.

God has consistently made clear that He will not be pacified by even the most generous offerings and zealous service if our hearts are not right with Him

( ~ Micah 6:6-8 )

No matter how much we do in God's service, regardless of how active we are in our church, no matter how honorable our reputation in the Christian community,

He will not overlook a sinful heart

His desire is that we devote ourselves to knowing Him and...

Loving Him With All Of Our Hearts

Psalm 42:11 BSB
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

📖 Bibleverse of the Day 🌻✨️🌝

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
~ 1 Corinthians 13:13 KJB

Charity is the greatest form of love there is. It surpasses all other forms of love and is completely selfless. And it is what God calls us to....

Have a very blessed day 🙏🏽 🕊

WHO DID JESUS HANG OUT WITH & WHO DID HE EXCLUDE ?

Jesus hung out with outcasts because he was creating a model of how to build his Church, one lost sheep at a time.

Jesus did not operate within the parameters dictated by his culture.


Jesus did not operate within the parameters dictated by his culture.

He sought the crippled and disease-ridden, and any whom society had deemed unworthy, disreputable, and morally wrong in their lifestyle choices.

They were the ones who were lost, lonely, and in pain, and willing to admit it.

He even surrounded himself with a ragtag group of sinners to be in his inner circle.

By reaching out to those considered beyond reach, he taught and led as a living example of the

“will of God”

Society sees people according to stereotypes.

Jesus, however...

aw each individual’s needs instead of the labels society slapped upon them.

Even when Jesus taught to the masses, he always made time to reach out to the individual outcast.

He was moved to extend mercy and compassion towards

“sinners”

Because he knew they needed a Savior.

The account of the

“woman at the well”

Details that need for a Savior.

The woman was a Samaritan, hated and rejected as an outcast of the worst type, especially by the Jews.

Yet Jesus and his followers — all of whom were Jewish — made a point to walk through Samaria.

Following the will of God...

Jesus decided to stop and rest at one of the Samaritan wells.

He struck up a conversation with a woman — a sinner and an outcast.

They had a lengthy conversation which included acknowledging her adulterous life.

By the end of their talk, Jesus declared Himself the Messiah and she gratefully accepted that revelation.

Not finished with his work, he headed into town with the woman and hung out with the villagers for two additional days

( ~ John 41:1-42 )

Jesus modelled the same redemptive vision when he met Matthew, a tax collector

( ~ Matthew 9:9-10 )

Tax collectors during that time were notorious thieves and swindlers.

However...

This generalization didn’t stop Jesus from reaching out to Matthew

Or from eating dinner with him and other disreputable individuals of society.

The same scenario repeated itself in another town, with a different tax collector named Zacchaeus

( ~ Luke 19:1-10 )

His choice of company upset many of the religious leaders of the time and they taunted Jesus for His actions.

In response...

Jesus gave one of his more notable teachings:
