In Christ.

                                                                               In Christ. Are you “In Christ”? What Does it Mean to “Be In Christ”? Remain “In Me”, as I “Remain In You”.   No branch can “Bear Fruit” by itself; it must remain in the vine.   Neither can you bear fruit unless you “Remain In Me”.   I am the vine; you are the branches.   If you “Remain in Me” and “I In You”, “You Will Bear Much Fruit”; apart from Me you can do nothing.   (John 15:4-5) If we are “In Christ”,   we are not “Of The World”; if we are not in Christ, we are ”Of The World. In Christ - The spiritual, organic union, between a Believer and Jesus Christ           Religion nor tradition has anything to do with Being In Christ.       ...

Trust Truth.

                                                                                               Trust Truth. To Reject Truth is to Receive & Trust The Lie. Thomas said to him, Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so “How Can We Know The Way?”   Jesus answered, I am the Way and “The Truth” and the Life.   No on comes to the Father except through Me (Jesus, Truth).   If you “Really Know Me”, you will know my Father as well.   From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.   (John 14:5-7) To tell and believe a lie, is evidence that we do not “Trust Truth, Jesus”. Jesus is Truth, He Cannot Use Us If we do Trust Him, but Trust satan and His Lies. Our Daily Nugget is letting us kn...

Our Rights.

                                                                           Our Rights. Love is to “Supersede Our Rights”. I have “The Right” to do anything, “you say”-but not everything is beneficial.   I have “The Right” to do anything-but not everything “builds up”.   (1 Corinthians 10:23) Remember, Knowledge Puffs Up - Love Builds Up. Our Greatest Right is “To Love the Lord and To Love our Neighbor”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that if we Pursue Our Rights we will Forfeit our Right To Love. Our Rights to Love is A Command from God; to refuse to Obey This Command is sin.   Love is not an Option for the Kingdom Citizens.   When our heart/mind is fixed on obtaining more and more material goods, our heart/mind will not be fixed on Our Right to Love One Another. If it Ain’t ...

Religion.

                                                                             Religion. Religion Will be “Worthwhile or Worthless”. Those who consider themselves “religious” and yet “do not” keep a tight rein on their tongues “deceive themselves”, and “Their Religion Is Worthless”.   Religion that God our Father accepts as “pure and faultless” is this: “to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”.   (James 1:27) Religion is either “Pure or Impure”.   You Must Do It “Like Us”. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that our Religion is either, Worthwhile or Worthless.   The way we treat one another shows if our Religion is Worthwhile or Worthless. Worthwhile Religion   shows itself in how we Treat Our Neighbors”, th...

Knowledge & Love.

                                                                      Knowledge & Love. Knowledge Puffs Up - Love Builds Up. Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge”.   But “knowledge puffs up” while “love builds up”.   Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know.   But whoever Loves God is Known By God.   (1 Corinthians 8:1-3) Love “With Knowledge” makes us Look Like Jesus. Knowledge “Without Love” will make us look like Satan. Our Daily Nugget is Paul explaining to the Church at Corinth and to us the roll of Love and the roll of Knowledge.   Knowledge alone, can never get us to where we need to be, nor can knowledge without Love Deliver or Save us.   To place knowledge ahead of Love is to have “a god” instead of “ha...

Hard Hearts.

                                                                             Hard Hearts. The Destiny of Hard Hearts. So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live like the Gentiles do, “in the ‘futility’ of their thinking”.   They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of “the ignorance that is in them” “due to the hardening of their hearts” (minds).   Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in “every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed”.   (Ephesians 4:17-19) Hard Hearts, “The Fruit of Greed and Futile Thinking”. Our Daily Nugget is Paul telling us that “If” we really are “New Creatures”, we “Will Live Like New Creatures” because our “Thinking Is ...

Scorned Sacrifices.

                                                                    Scorned Sacrifices, Will Bring Disdain if we Honor “others or things” over Him. Why do you “scorn my sacrifice and offering” that I prescribed for my dwelling?   Why do you honor your sons “more than Me” by fattening yourselves (stealing from the offerings)   on the choice parts of every offering “made by the people of Israel. Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares:   I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.   But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me!   “Those Who Honor Me I Will Honor”, but “Those Who Despise Me Will Be Disdained”.   (1 Samuel 2:29&30) Disdain - To treat someone or something with contempt, scorn, or rejection, viewing them as worthless, inferior, or underser...
