Be Complete.

                                                                             Be Complete. My Real Love; The Word or The World? The young man said to Him, “all these I have kept; what am I still lacking”?   Jesus said to him, “If you want to be Complete”, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.   But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.   (Matthew 19:20-22) I Kept the Commandments, but I Loved The World. Our Daily Nugget is another example of the “deceit and deception” of Satan.   We have a rich young man who owned much property.   He was a Believer and wanted Jesus to tell him what he needed to do to “obtain eternal life”.   Jesus ...

Considerate.

                                                                            Considerate.   God notices when we are Considerate and when we are Inconsiderate. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.   Rather, “in humility” value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interest but each of you to the interests of the others.   (Philippians 2:3-4) The Choice to be Considerate or Inconsiderate Starts between our ears through “What We Think”. Being Considerate makes us look like Jesus; it’s   Obedience to the Command to Love. Being Inconsiderate makes us look like Satan; it’s   Disobedience to the Command to Love. Considerate - Often synonymous with gentle, forbearing, or “patient” (in various translations) means actively prioritizing the feelings, needs, and ...

Vain Belief.

                                                                           Vain Belief. Belief without “Action”, “Love”, is Vain Belief. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.   By this gospel you are saved, “If you hold firmly to the Word I preached to you”.   Otherwise, “You Have Believed In Vain”.   (1 Corinthians 15:1-2) Vain Belief is Evidence that one lied when they said, I Believe. Belief is defined as a deep, “active trust” and “reliance on God and Jesus Christ”, going beyond “intellectual agreement” to involve personal commitment.   It is synonymously linked with Faith and Trust, often “requiring obedience and loyalty”.   It implies being fully persuaded of the Truth of Scripture...

Does Size Matter?

                                                                        Does Size Matter?   Goliath would say “No”, but, he’d also say, “I Thought It Did”. Come here, Goliath said (to David), and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!   David said to the Philistine, “you come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.   This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head.   All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and “He Will Give All Of You Into Our Hands”.   (1 Samuel 17:44-47) David was Depending on The Lord. Goliath was Depending on...

Iron Sharpens Iron.

                                                                       Iron Sharpens Iron. A Sharpened Iron is Prepared to do God’s Work. As Iron Sharpens Iron, so One Person Sharpens Another.   (Proverbs 27:17) Instead, “speaking the truth in love”, “We Will Grow” To Become In Every Respect The “Mature Body of Him” who is the head”, that is Christ.   (Ephesians 4:15) Rejoice at the Sharpening, “Looking Forward To The Fruit”.. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us that Kingdom Citizens Speaking the Truth in Love to One Another   will mature us and it is How we Keep One Another Spirituality Fit to Fight in this Spiritual War; scripture call this Process of Preparation and Maintenance, of the Kingdom Citizens, “Iron Sharpening Iron”. If The Irons Do Not Sharpen One Another, “All The Irons Will Be Dull”...

Come Meet A Man.

                                                                         Come Meet a Man. He Gives Out Living Water to all who Thirst. Jesus answered her, “If You Knew” “The Gift of God” and “Who It Is That Asks You For A Drink”, you would have asked and he would have given you living water.   Sir, the woman said, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep.   Where can you get this living water?   (John 4:10-11) Living Water is “Spiritual Life”, it Leads to an Evangelistic Heart/Mind. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that Jesus is All We Need, Today, Tomorrow, and Forever.   The Living Water is Symbolic of All we need for the “Completion of Our Tasks”, which is, “Living our Purpose”.   Jesus said to the woman “If You Ask”.   This is what Jesus is saying to us also,...

Oaths.

                                                                                  Oaths. Kingdom Citizens are Not to Make Oaths. Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, “Do Not Break An Oath” but fulfill your vows to the Lord.   But I say to you, “Do Not Make Oaths At All”-not by heaven, because it is the throne of God, not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.   Do not make an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.   Let your word be “Yes, yes, or No, no”.   More than this is from the evil one.   (Matthew 5:33-37) Oaths are Not Needed for People who “Speak the Truth in Love”. An Oath - Is a solemn appeal to God as a witness and guaranto...
