Perseverance.

                                                                            Perseverance.   Endeavor to Persevere! Consider it “pure joy”, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of “many kinds”, because you know that the testing of your faith produces “Perseverance”.   Let Perseverance finish its work so that you may be “mature and complete”, “not lacking anything”.   (James 1:2-4) The Finished Work of Perseverance Leads to “Perfect Faith”; Maturity. Our Daily Nugget is sharing with us “The Fruit of Perseverance, Patience” and “A Wise Way To Look At The Trials we Face”.     When we “Let Perseverance” have it’s Perfect Work, we will be “Mature and Complete”, “Lacking Nothing”.   This is the way Jesus and the Disciples, Stephen, and others were; this is “Carryin...

Worship.

                                                                               Worship. The Worship that God Wants. The “Worship” that God wants is this:   Caring for orphans or widows who need help and keeping yourself free from the world’s evil influence.   (James 1:27) Do you Worship the way God Wants, or your Religion’s Way? Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that,   The Worship That God Wants Is “Love” and “Godly Living”. Therefore, we should Worship God 24/7, not just for an hour or two on Sunday. What we Do “speaks” so loud till, No One Hears What We Say! We call Going to Church Service a Worship Service; God Calls a Worship Service “Doing   acts of Love and Kindness to those in need”.   Worship Service occurs outside the walls of the Building where Believer...

His Rest.

                                                                               His Rest. Enter Into His Rest. Therefore, since the “Promise of Entering His Rest Still Stands”, let us be careful that none of you be found to have “fallen short of it”.   For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of “no value to them”, because “they did not share the Faith of those who obeyed ”.   Now “we who have believed enter that rest”, just as God has said. “So I declared on oath in my anger, They shall never enter my rest.   And yet His works have been finished since the creation of the world.   (Hebrews 4:1-3) The Offer to Enter Into His Rest “Still Stands”. This Offer is of No Value to those who “Refuse To Obey (Love)”; the...

The Testifiers.

                                                                           The Testifiers. Our Words, our Actions, are “Testimonies”. The world cannot hate you (His Brothers), but it hates me because I “testify” that its works are evil.   (John 7:7) Testifying will cause one to be Hated by the world and Loved by the Word. Our Daily Nugget is about a bad case of “sibling rivalry”, about as old as salt, but about as active as the wind blowing.   Jesus’ brothers were jealous of the notoriety that Jesus was receiving and made a “sarcastic suggestion” stating that He should go to the festival, “since you want to be a public figure”, go where the public is.   Testify - To bear witness, solemnly declare, or provide evidence regarding God’s   Truth, Character, Works, or     ...

Your Ways.

                                                                               Your Ways. Give Careful Thought To Your Ways. This is what the Lord Almighty says: “These people say, The time as not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s House.   Then the Word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: “Is it time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin”?   Now this is what the Lord says:   Give careful thought to your ways.   (Haggai 1:2-5) I Thought that, “God was Pleased with me”; But He Wasn’t. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that we must “Give Careful Thought To Our Ways” to make sure that Our Ways are Pleasing to God, not just to our selves.   The demons of selfishness, inconsideration, lack of concern, greed, etc. a...

Eyes on The Path.

                                                                         Eyes on The Path. Our Living Follows the Path We See. The “Path of the Righteous” is like the morning sun, shinning ever brighter till the full light of day.   But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.   (Proverbs 4:18&19) Above All, be careful “What You Think”, because your thoughts control your life.   Don’t bend the truth or say things that you know are not right.   “Keep Your Eyes On The Path”, and “Look Straight Ahead”.   (Proverbs 4:23-25) I Am The Way (The Path), the Truth and the Life! Jesus Took the Sting From Death, On The Cross; and “Set a New Path Way”! “Thinking” are the Eyes of the Heart/Mind; It Guides What We Do and Don’t Do. Our Daily Nugge...

When It's All Over.

                                                                       When It’s All Over. What are you Thinking About “Today”? Wise people Think about Death; Fools Think About Being Happy.  (Ecclesiastes 7:4) But Abraham replied, “Son, remember that in your lifetime you received good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony”.  (Luke 16:25) But God said to him, “You fool”!  This very night your life will be demanded from you.  Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?  (Luke 12:20) Some Facts of Living and Dying! We were not created to Get, we were created to Give!                                          ...
