The Doors.

                                                                              The Doors. The Narrow and the Wide Doors. Go in through the “Narrow Door”.  The door is wide and the road is easy “that leads to hell”.  Many people are going through that door.  But the door is narrow and “the road is hard that leads to life” that lasts forever.  “Few People Are Finding It”.  (Matthew 7:13&14) Endeavor to “Preserve”; “It’s Worth It”; Ask Jesus. To Love your neighbor as you love yourself, is “not easy”, “it’s hard”;  Ask Jesus. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that to “Love Like Jesus Loved” is not easy, but hard.  Kingdom Citizens “welcomes hard”, because we know what’s on the other side of each door.  We are not fooled by Satan’s Temptations....

Jeremiah Wept.

                                                                          Jeremiah Wept. Why Did Jeremiah Weep? You hope for light, but He (God) will turn it to utter darkness and change it to deep gloom.  “But if you will not listen”, my soul will “weep” in secret for your pride; my eyes will “weep” bitterly and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive (destroyed).  (Jeremiah 13:16&17) Jeremiah Wept, due to “Deep Sorrow” For Jerusalem. Jeremiah Saw “The Price of Living Ungodly”, the People “Had to Pay”. Jeremiah wept due to “deep sorrow” over the “impending destruction” of Jerusalem, “the stubborn disobedience” and “rampant idolatry” of the Jewish people, and the “intense personal persecution he faced”. His grief was driven by the  “Foresight of ...

The Lying Spirit.

                                                                       The Lying Spirit. Liars Listen To Lies, Truthful People Don’t! Then the Lord said, “who will go entice Ahab to go and die at Ramoth-gilead?  Various suggestions were made, until one angel approached the Lord and said, “I’ll Do It!”  How, the Lord asked?  And he replied, I will go as a “Lying Spirit” in the mouths of “All These Prophets”.  And the Lord said, “That Will Do It; You Will Succeed. Go Ahead”.  Don’t You See?  The Lord has put a Lying Spirit in the mouths of all these prophets, but the fact of the matter is that “The Lord Has Decreed Disaster Upon You”.  1 Kings 22:21-23) An evil doer “listen to wicked lips”; A liar “listen to Lies”.  (Proverbs 17:4) If a ruler listens to lies, all h...

Submission.

                                                                            Submission. Submission is Strength, Rebellion is Weakness. Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which have been established by God.   Consequently, whoever “Rebels” against the authority is “Rebelling” against what God has instituted, and “Those Who Do So Will Bring ‘Judgement’ on Themselves”.   (Romans 13:1-2) The Submitted Heart/Mind, is a Blessed, Strong, and a Wise Heart/Mind. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “All Authority” have been established by God.   Rather we like the authority or not, rather the authority is honorable or a crook, rather the authority is honest or a liar; “We Are To Submit To Them”.   When the authority is Ruling In ...

Tame the Tongue.

                                                                         Tame the Tongue. Tame the Tongue, or “Pay The Price”! When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey, “we can turn the whole animal”.   Or take ships as an example.   Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, “they are steered by a very small rudder” wherever the pilot wants it to go.   Likewise, “the tongue is a small part of the body” but it makes great boast.   Consider what a great forest is set on fire by “a small spark”.   The tongue also is a fire, “A World Of ‘Evil’ Among Parts Of The Body”.   It corrupts the whole body, “sets the course of one’s life on fire”, and “Is Itself Set On Fire By Hell”.   (James 3:3-6) An “Untamed Tongue” is the Fruit of an “Untamed ...

Believers.

                                                                              Believers. Kingdom Citizens are “Believers”. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.  Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ “The New Creation Has Come”:  “The Old is Gone, The New Is Here”!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us a ministry of reconciliation.   (2 Corinthians 5:16-18) A man was asked a question;  Are You A Christian?  He answered, “I’m A Believer”. A Believer in Christianity is an individual who “Places Their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ” as the Son of God, Savior, and Lord.  More than just mental agreement, “this involves a ...
