The Lord's Word

Psalms 97:11 Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. (NIV)

God is love but love may not be God. Without a religion, a society, nation, or a family will crumble. The Bible was penned by men and dictated by God. The Holy Bible has love between each word. A religious life is important but not as important as a spiritual life. A Christian is a person who has given all they own to Christ and who has no fear of death. God will help you if you are willing to help Him. A church should be a refuge from the world. Marriage is sacred and holy before God. Jesus is the Savior and Messiah. In prayer you talk to God and in prayer He can talk back if you listen. Inspirational quotes are like appetizers for the soul. In Bible study, you get more out of it if you apply it. Meditation on the love of God makes the love of God real. Religion and spirituality are the keys to human progress if humans are religiously spiritual. Fear of death evaporates when you can see over the horizon and see your place in eternity. A sermon needs to be taken in and digested to be nutritious. Getting advice, especially relationship advice is easier than following the advice. Inspiration from a Bible verse or from the Bible is a drink of living water. Faith based upon love is unshakable. A Bible commentary is like a compass. Fear of God is not healthy, but fear of God’s wrath can save your life for eternity. God encourages self-help. A Christian web site is like a shiny silver dollar in a mud hole. Amazing grace is a song, but what is amazing is God’s grace. An inspirational story can change someone’s life. Jealousy is a waste of time and soul. Peace will reign after Satan inflicts his sting. A life without a goal is a life going nowhere. Spiritual love for God begets love from God. Goal setting is important but not as important as goal getting. Hope is the fuel of life. A church online can beam His love through the lines and cables. True worship starts and ends within your heart. Study the Holy Bible and you can be holy if you absorb His words. Encouragement is healing to a broken life. Grace is a goose-bumpy gift from God. Christ died just for you, hoping but not knowing whether you would accept Him but knowing you could experience a Holy Spirit transformation if you do. Saving grace can last you a long time into eternity. The Holy Spirit used to be called the Holy Ghost. A spiritual gift given in love outlasts a tangible one. A Christian site on the Internet is like spitting into the wind at night with no moonlight and no flashlight. A small sermon a day can keep Satan away. Enlightenment only happens when you are ready to be illuminated. Growth of the heart and mind is His will for all of us. Finding an inspirational saying and words of wisdom is easier than experiencing their power. Wisdom comes from making mistakes if we are not stupid. Growth in inspiration, peace, and hope helps us climb the tree of life. Salvation cannot be purchased, traded, bargained for, exchanged for, or sold…you have to ask for it. The Bible is a commentary on life. If you have faith no more larger than a mustard seed, you could move a mountain. Personal development is possible only if we are committed to climbing up the tree of life, risking our necks to get to the top, and use Bible quotes to tell us which limbs to use. Christian humor is not an oxymoron. The Holy Bible produces enlightenment to a soul eager to find the Light. The person who gives is more powerful than the person who takes. Spiritual warfare begins to really heat up as soon as you accept Christ. The Lord's prayer was given as a model, not as a mimic. Giving good gifts brings blessings. Personal development of your faith in love is God’s will. A meditation thought is a good idea if the meditation thought is a good idea. The women of faith were and are the ones at the Cross. Salvation is best kept in the heart. Encouragement in a marriage relationship is as vital as oil in machinery.
