GODS CHILDREN!
These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment." Proverbs 24:23
IN JESUS TODAY:
"There is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:11 Recently there was a program on T.V. called, "Who's black in America?" and as soon as I heard the title I felt left out and even a little not qualified to be American. If the program's intentions were to identify the variety of Americans that live here now, it failed miserably.

OUR LIFE IS IN HIM
John 15:4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."
JOHN 15:4
This is a profound truth, that is the key to bearing fruit, but it is so easy to forget. Because the fruit is borne on the branch, it is easy to credit the branch with the fruit, when it is the vine that drew the life from the earth and channeled it through the branch.
Likewise, since we are the branch through which the life of God flows, we sometimes think that it is our own holiness that produces the fruit. The moment we think that way, we are no longer abiding (trusting in; clinging to) in the vine and we...

LET GOD PRUNE YOU HIS WAY
John 15:2 "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."
JOHN 15:2
This purging has been interpreted in many ways. The illustration that Jesus is using is one of pruning; therefore, some have said this purging is a very painful process where the Lord cuts and slashes us through things like sickness, death, poverty, and other forms of tragedy so that eventually we will bear more fruit. This teaching not only promotes problems as being good, but necessary, if we want to bear more fruit.
That thinking is not consistent with the rest of God's Word or even the context...

"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Luke 11:9
IN JESUS TODAY:
One, Two, Three in that order, step by step. Step one: Ask, not demand, but verbally request as a child would request of a mother or father, with respect, and in faith believing. For more please visit: http://souls-for-christ.com/id33.html
WINNING FAMILY!
"One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus.." John 1:40-42a.
IN JESUS TODAY:
Where should we start this soul winning that we are all called to do? Why, of course we should start with our own family members that have not received Jesus yet! Do you have any family members that have not received him yet?

JESUS IN THE FLESH
John 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."
JOHN 14:28
Jesus stated His union with the Father so clearly that He was accused of blasphemy more than once. This statement about the Father being greater than Jesus must harmonize, not contradict other claims.
A key to understanding this is given in Philippians 2:6-8, where Paul states that Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God, but humbled Himself, taking on the form of a servant (speaking of His humanity). Jesus was equal to God in His divine nature but He made...
LIVING FOR OTHERS!
"I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1
IN JESUS TODAY!
The famous Evangelist F.B. Meyers said, "A yielded life to God is a life that lives for others." O.K., this is it, we must first be yielded to God, this means that our old man with our old ways are put to death, and the new man wakes each day to live unto God, surrendered and yielded to his call.

GOD IS OUR COMFORT
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"
JOHN 14:16-17
Remember that Jesus was saying these things to His disciples so that they would not be offended. Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is the front line of defense against the devil and his devices of defeat. The phrase, "The God of all comfort" carries the idea of a divine comforter who encourages, refreshes, strengthens, aids, assists, and is an ever present help in the time of need. The ways that God chooses to comfort are not always the...

GOD WORKS IN THE SIMPLE THINGS
John 14:7 "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
JOHN 14:7
Knowing Jesus is knowing the Father. This is not only because Jesus did exactly what He saw His Father do, but Jesus was God in the flesh.
The disciples didn't realize that seeing Jesus was seeing God. They were expecting something more. Many times we miss seeing God work in our lives and circumstances because we are looking for something stupendous. Although it is true that God is totally awesome, He doesn't usually choose to manifest Himself in that way.
God spoke to Elijah not in the fire, wind, or an earthquake, but in...
AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION!
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Psalm 1:1, 2
IN JESUS TODAY!
There are three ways to automatically disqualify ourselves from receiving the blessings of God in our life. First, we see that walking in the counsel of the ungodly will disqualify us. To walk in the counsel of the ungodly simply means to listen to and follow the advice of those that hate God, and would like to replace his law of mercy and grace with another rule of law....
