                                                                  Where Is Your Reward? Is Your Reward in “This Life” or the “Life to Come”? Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down; with your sword “Rescue Me From The Wicked”.  By your hand “save me” from such people, Lord, from those of this world whose “Reward Is In This Life”.  May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies; may their children gorge themselves on it, and may there be leftovers for their little ones.  (Psalms 17:13&14) If our Reward is in This Life, we will utilize the World’s ways of living;  if our Reward is in the Life to come, we will utilize The Word’s way of living. Reward - A recompense, wages, or return given by God for actions, “whether good or bad”.  Our Rewards are either Life or Death. ...

                                                                             Perspective! The Word or The World? So we “Fix Our Eyes” not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary (not real), but what is unseen is eternal (is real).   (2 Corinthians 4:18) What we Think or Focus On, “Produces Our Perspective”! Our Daily Nugget encourages  “Focusing” on spiritual, everlasting truths rather than temporary earthly struggles.  A wise person thinks about death, a fool thinks about being happy.  Each “Focus” gives us a different Perspective.  To focus on death, encourages us to Live Right today.  To Focus on Being Happy leads us to Live Wrong Today.  Our Living Follows Our Focus.  Our Perspective is our Focus.  Perspec...

                                                                            Hypocrisy! The Hypocrisy of Religious Leaders, Leads People to Hell!   “Woe” to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, You Hypocrites!   You shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces.   You yourselves “do not enter”, nor will you let those who are trying to.   “Woe” to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,   “You Hypocrites”!   You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, “And When You Have Succeeded, You Make Them ‘Twice’ as much a ’Child of Hell’ As You Are”.   (Matthew 23:13-15) We must Confront Hypocrisy with The Bible; “Openly and Publicly”! Our Daily Nugget is a message to Christians that there are “Religious Leaders”, who stand behind the pulpits, every Sund...

                                                                       Completed Joy. Being Considerate makes Jesus’ Joy Complete. Then make “My Joy Complete” by being of the “same mind, having the same love, united in spirit, with one purpose”.  Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with “Humility” “Consider” others as more important than yourselves, looking out not only for your own interest but also the interest of others.  Have this “attitude” in yourselves, which was also in Christ.  (Philippians 2:2-5) “Considerate”, Jesus’ Example of “Humility”. To Love we must be Considerate; the Inconsiderate does not Love. It is Impossible to Obey the Command to Love, “If we are Inconsiderate”. Considerate - Being mindful of consequences or circumstance and “Especially  Careful o...

                                                                           Surrendered. Surrender “For Victory”! Then He said to them all: “Whoever wants to be My Disciple” “must deny themselves and take up their cross daily” and Follow Me.   For whoever wants to save their life “will lose it”, but whoever loses their life for Me “will save it”.   (Luke 9:23-24) Surrendering to God, is “Exercising Our Faith”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “Surrendering For Victory” means yielding personal control, desires, and strength to God, trusting that His Power brings triumph over spiritual battles.   Surrendering one’s life brings “spiritual salvation and victory through Christ” rather than personal striving, “Allowing God To Work Through Weakness”. When We Surrender Our Lives to God,...
