A Good Steward.

                                                                        A Good Steward. Utilizes God’s Gifts to “Love”. As each has received “a gift”, use it to “serve one another”, as “Good Stewards” of “Varied Grace”.  (1 Peter 4:10) It is to “Utilize the Gifts Given by God” to Love, not to “Make More Money”. Our Daily Nugget is giving us the job of a Good Steward.  A Good Steward’s job is to use the Gifts God has given us to Serve One Another, “Not to Get Rich”.  The amount of money we make has nothing to do with rather we are good stewards of God’s Gifts or not. Steward - A manager or overseer entrusted with managing the property, household, or affairs of another.  It signifies that God is the rightful owner of “All Things”, while we are responsible for managing His Creation,...

Judge Not!

                                                                            Judge Not! Judgement or Mercy? Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.   For the judgment you give will be the judgement you get, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.   (Matthew 7:1-2) No one can stand in the face of Judgement. Judgement, always has to do with Punishment; Give Mercy. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us that, we should not be ready to “make people pay for what they did or for what we think they did” to us.   This is what Judgement is.   There is “Judging” and there is “Speaking the Truth in Love”.   We are commanded to “Not Judge”; but, we are commanded to Speak the Truth in Love. What is your “Purpose” for saying what you said?   To Judge or to Love?   A p...

Resurrection.

                                                                            Resurrection. He Got Up! Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days”.   (John 2:19) Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life”.   The one who “Believes” in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by “Believing” in Me will never die.   Do you “Believe” this?   (John 11:25-26) Jesus Got Up, therefore, “We Can Get Up” from our “Fallen State”! Our Daily Nugget is All About “Salvation”. The Salvation that Jesus has made available is a “Three Stage Process”. We “Have Been Saved” from the “Penalty of sin”; we are “Being Saved” from the “Power of sin”; we “Shall Be” saved from the “Presence of sin”.   Now, we are living in the Second Stage of ...

After Amen.

                                                                             After Amen. Consider It Already Done. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the “Amen”, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.   (Revelation 3:14) The Amen signifies that Jesus is the firm, final, and true word of God.   Our Daily Nugget is addressed to the church of Laodicea, which was know for its “spiritual complacency and material wealth” “which they mistook for spiritual maturity”.   The Amen signifies that Jesus is the firm, final, and true word of God.   Much like the United States, especially today.   Spiritual Complacency leads to death. The Fruit of Complacency and the Love of Money. Being a “Good Steward Has Very Lit...

A Faithless and Perverse Generation.

  A Faithless and Perverse Generation. Exercise Your Faith or Lose Your Faith; your Choice. And Jesus said unto them, “Because of Your Unbelief”; for verily (Truly) I say to you, “If ye have Faith as a Grain of Mustard Seed”, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; “And It Shall Remove”; and “Nothing Shall Be Impossible Unto You”.   (Matthew 17:20) They could not drive out the demon, due to Unexercised Faith. Nothing is Impossible to us, “If We Exercise our Measure of Faith”. Our Daily Nugget symbolizes that “A Tiny Amount of Genuine Faith”, “Placed In God” (Exercised) possesses immense power to overcome massive obstacles (move mountains, physical and spiritual).   Jesus used this metaphor to teach, it’s the Quality of Faith.   Faith -   “Acting” as “Active Trust in God’s Character and Promises” rather than mere intellectual Belief. Perverse - A “willful, deliberate” turning away from God’s Truth (The Bible), righteousness, or established ...

Winter.

                                                                                Winter. Preparation for the Spring. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.   The one who “Believes” in Me will live, “even though they die”; and whoever lives by Believing in Me will never die.   Do you Believe this?   (John 11:25-26) We Can Live, But, “Only After We Believe and Die”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “Belief in Jesus” is like the Spring”; for the heart/mind that has experienced or is experiencing the “Winter of Life”.   I heard a woman say, concerning planting seeds, that “Winter, the Cold, the Dark, the Rain and Snow”, “Prepares the Ground for the Spring Planting Time”.   Spring comes, after winter. Belief in Jesus is Life for the Dead Heart/Min...
