Today's Good News

JULY 12 – CHRIST

07/12          Colossians 3:11

In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

CHRIST

Whatever we face, whatever we need Jesus Christ is the solution. Christ is our victory. He sets us free. Jesus is God’s everything.

 

 

JULY 11 – DAILY

07/11          Colossians 3:10
In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you.

DAILY

We like to finalize things. Been there done THAT! The normal Christian life is lived daily. We are constantly dealing with our sin, desperately in need of forgiveness often on an hourly basis and living in victory because we believe Jesus that we are saved by grace through faith. It is a free gift of God.

JULY 10 – CHOICES

07/10          Colossians 3:6-9

God’s terrible anger will come upon those who do such things. 7 You used to do them when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old evil nature and all its wicked deeds.

CHOICES
We reap what we sow. If we live our life on our own, refusing to acknowledge the Lord, managing our life and ignoring the Lord we will reap at the end a conclusion that we have chosen. When we refuse to follow the Lord the end result is a path that leads to destruction. Our choices determine our path.

JULY 9 – RELAX

07/09          Colossians 3:5

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don’t be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry.

RELAX
We are called to live a life of abundance knowing that the victory is won. You cannot do that unless you have the right attitude: God is in control, Jesus loves you and you are valuable. Relax. Your life is worthwhile. Don’t live in poverty instead claim the abundance of a relationship with Jesus.

JULY 8 – FAMILY

07/08          Colossians 3:4

And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

FAMILY
We are in the Family of God. Jesus has saved us. We partner together with Him becoming His hands and feet and voice. Jesus is alive in us and when all things are done we will rule together with Him.

JULY 7 – ETERNAL

07/07          Colossians 3:3

For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.

ETERNAL

We are eternal creatures and when we ask Jesus to save us He does for eternity. No one, no thing can separate us from the Jesus. He is our Savior and is always looking out for our best good.

 

 

 

JULY 6 – TRAVELING

07/06          Colossians 3:1-2

1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power. 2 Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.

TRAVELING
We are traveling through this world, this place is not our home. We have a home not made with hands in heaven where God is. Every thought that the Father has towards His children is a thought for good. Fill your mind with thoughts of heaven and don’t let this world destroy you. 

 

 

JULY 5 – FOOLED

07/05          Colossians 2:20-23

You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the evil powers of this world. So why do you keep on following rules of the world, such as, 21 “Don’t handle, don’t eat, don’t touch.” 22 Such rules are mere human teaching about things that are gone as soon as we use them. 23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, humility, and severe bodily discipline. But they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person’s evil thoughts and desires.

FOOLED

We are fooled by the world’s obsession with discipline and devotion, works righteousness- don’t you be fooled. You can know for sure that Jesus is the only way to the Father, salvation is a free gift from God and Jesus is God’s everything. Go to Jesus. Jesus saves.

 

 

JULY 4 – CONNECTED

07/04          Colossians 2:19

But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.

CONNECTED
Connected to Jesus is the key to a vibrant growing Christian life. We are not controlled by the world. Jesus is Lord and Savior and we need to spend time with Him to be and to do what He calls us too. Overwhelmed? Sit down with Jesus and ask Him to fix it. He will. Jesus loves you.

JULY 3 – ONLY

07/03          Colossians 2:18

Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this. These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud.

ONLY
JESUS ONLY. He is God’s everything. No list of things you must do, no other place or entity for you to connect with-JESUS ONLY. He is Lord and if you ask Him He will be Lord of your life. He is all you need, period.
