Today's Good News

OCTOBER 14 – LIFE

10/14               Ephesians 5:5-7 

You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.  7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 

LIFE

How we live matters.  How we live before a watching world matters.  It is important for us to let Jesus give us the wisdom, mercy, grace and understanding we need to live a Christ like life.  It takes time with Jesus to appropriate His strength into our life.  Today spend time with Jesus.  Let Him have control of your mind and your heart. 

 

OCTOBER 13 – GRATITUDE

10/13               Ephesians 5:3-4 

Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 

GRATITUDE

We are called to have an attitude of gratitude.  Today, make a list of the things for which you are grateful.  Keep the list and think about it.  Jesus will help you add to the list.  An amazing experience for every one of us.   

 

OCTOBER 12 – SURRENDER

SURRENDER

We cannot work our way into the kingdom of God nor can we work our way into receiving good things in our life.  Surrender your life to Jesus and get to know Him.  He is the light and life that we need for living for the Lord.  Jesus in us fulfills the first and greatest commandment for our life is hid Christ for God.  Let Jesus equip you to lead a Godly life. 

OCTOBER 11 – TODAY

10/11               Matthew 6:33-34

TODAY

We are now creatures assigned to live in the moment.  Let us not fantasize about the future but instead deal with today in confidence of the Lord’s presence and His good intentions toward us.  Do not fear.  Walk in joy.  Jesus loves you.
