RISE ABOVE!
"Explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ." Acts 17:3
IN JESUS TODAY!
This is the Christian way of life, when we are knocked down we rise again! Jesus came before us to demonstrate this, that we will live, we will rise from the dead to be with our Lord in heaven for eternity, nothing or no one in the world can keep us down, no one can hold us back, we are the only ones that can allow ourselves to be defeated!

MARRIAGE IS A COVENANT
Matthew 19:9 "And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
MATTHEW 19:7-9
Although adultery denotes one who has unlawful intercourse with the spouse of another, in its much broader term, it means to violate or pollute. Israel violated or polluted their covenant with God. Jeremiah says, "She (Judah) defiled the land, and committed adultery"...
UNDER THE SHADOW!
"Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me under the shadow of your wings," Psalm 17:8
IN JESUS TODAY!
What is it about shadows or shade that we like? It is a place of safety or refuge, the shade that preserves us from the heat of the day. Jesus is this shade and refuge as he preserves us from the fiery inferno that some deny exists. However, there is a hell friends just as there is a heaven, both of these exist. For more please visit:

ONE FLESH
Matthew 19:5 "And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"
MATTHEW 19:3-5
What does it mean for a man and a woman to become "one flesh?" The act of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman produces this one flesh relationship. Whether or not the man and woman ever cleave to each other in marriage; the physical act still binds them together as one flesh.
This is the reason that sexual...

DIVORCE IS NOT GOD'S BEST
Mark 10:2 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him."
MARK 10:2-6
The Pharisees didn't really want to know what Jesus taught on divorce and remarriage. They didn't value His opinion but were tempting Him and desired to get Him mired in the big dispute of their day between liberal and conservative views on divorce. This was a very emotional issue then, just as it is today, and they thought they had Jesus in a "no win"...
FLESH AND BLOOD!
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age." Ephesians 6:12
IN JESUS TODAY!
Our real battle in life is not with other people, or even with ourselves, but our real battle is spiritual and working through these exalted principalities, places, territories of the prince of darkness within our cities or country that promotes sin, and within these are powers that are exalted in high places, often using leaders who are unaware of their demonic influence, not knowing or seeing these hidden rulers of influence they...

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT
Luke 18:9 "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:"
LUKE 18:9-14
People who are self-righteous often despise others. No one can compare himself with God's perfect standard and feel good about himself. To trust in ourselves, we have to constantly compare ourselves with others. This breeds a critical attitude towards others that exalts self by debasing others.
No one can ever be...

GOD ANSWERS PRAYER
Luke 18:7 "And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? "
LUKE 18:1-8
This is not an exact comparison of God to this unjust judge, teaching us that we should badger God until we weary Him and He grants us our request.
Rather, Jesus is contrasting His willingness to answer our prayers with this unjust judge's unwillingness. The parable is a contrast, not a representation.
Arise And Eat!
"And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, "Arise and eat." 1 Kings 19:5
IN JESUS TODAY!
Now Elijah had been through a tremendous difficulty and was ready to quit life, even pleading with God to take his life, saying, "It is enough, now, O lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my Fathers." 1 Kings 19:4 Have you ever been to this place where you are throwing up your hands in surrender, just wanting the pain to go away, or the troubles to disappear?

LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Luke 17:24 "For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day."
LUKE 17:24-31
This scripture and the parallel scripture in Matthew 24:27 make it very clear that the second return of Jesus will be no secret to anyone. In Matthew's account, it is especially clear that this statement about the lightning was made so that we wouldn't be deceived by false Christs. Just as lightning is...
