A Charge To Keep.

                                                                     A Charge To Keep. Avoid being an Idolater, “Keep The Charge”. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.   Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.   For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-“Such A Person Is An Idolater”-has any inheritance in the Kingdom of God.   “Let no one deceive you with empty words”, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.   Therefore do not partner with them.   (Ephesians 5:3-7) Kingdom Citizens are In The World but not Of The World! Our Daily Nugget is Paul ...

Blessed.

                                                                              Blessed. It’s Not Lucky;   The Bible Does Not Contain The Word, Lucky. “Every” good and perfect gift “is from above”, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.   (James 1:17) One of them (the ten), when he saw he was healed, “came back”, praising God in a loud voice.   He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and “Thanked Him”-and he was a Samaritan (they were not respected by the Jews).   (Luke 17:15-16) Honor God by Thanking Him, When Good Things Happen To You. Our Daily Nugget is telling us that “Every good and perfect gift is from God” and “not luck”.   God want us to say Thank You, when He does Good Things for us.   Everything, good and bad,...

Paradise.

                                                                                Paradise. The Road to Paradise. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him (Jesus): “Aren’t you the Messiah?   Save yourself and us!   But the other criminal rebuked him.   “Don’t You Fear God”, he said, since you are under the same sentence?   We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve.   But this man has done nothing wrong.   Then he said, Jesus remember me when you come into your Kingdom.   Jesus answered him, Truly I tell you, “Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise”.   (Luke 23:39-43) The Fear of God leads to Humility.   Humility is “The Road to Paradise”. Our Daily Nugget is written by Luke, he is telling us how to get to Par...

That Day.

                                                                            That Day. Prepare for That Day, Today; Repent. Even the bravest warriors will flee on “That Day”, declares the Lord.   (Amos 2:18) We run from our sins until “That Day”; When Payment is Due. Our Daily Nugget is the Prophet Amos, letting us know That Pay Day is coming.   God is slow to punish us because He is giving us time and opportunity to repent of our sins and of our wrong doing.   If we are enjoying Sin and Wrongdoing today, just remember that “That Day” is coming.   There is a “That Day” for all sin and for all obedience. That Day - When God says, Enough is Enough, and God tells us our payment for our sins and wrongdoing, are due. I heard a man say, you might think you’re slick, but, you could stand ...

Living Water.

                                                                            Living Water. The Word   or The World? Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you “Living Water”.   (John 4:10) Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks “The Water I Give” them will never thirst.   Indeed, the water I give them will become in them “A Spring of Water Welling Up To Eternal Life”.   The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.   (John 4:13-15) Physical Water Satisfy the Body for a Period of Time. Living Water, the Spiritual Life and the Holy Spirit   offered by Jesus “satisfy the d...

Love or Use?

                                                                           Love or Use? Love people and Use money. Don’t Love money and Use people. No one can serve two masters.   Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other.   You cannot serve both God and money.   (Matthew 6:24) But if we have food and clothing, we will be “Content” with that. Those who want to “get rich” fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.   For “The Love of Money” is a root of “all kinds of evil”.   Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the Faith and pierced themselves with man griefs.   (1Timothy 6:8-10) Working for a Living is not the same as Wanting...

Confession.

                                                                           Confession. The Wisdom and the Blessings in Confession. There was time when I wouldn’t admit what a sinner I was.   But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration.   (Frustration is a failure characteristic).   All day and all night “your hand was heavy on me”.   My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them.   I said to myself, “I Will Confess Them To The Lord”.   And you forgave me!   All my guilt was gone.   Now I say that “Each Believer Should Confess His Sins to God’ when he is aware of them, while there is time to be forgiven.   “Judgment will not touch him if he does”. ...
