My Bible Verse of The Day - 11-6-27
Romans 8:38-39 (LSB) 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We serve an incredible God.
His love for us is unfathomable, and incomprehensible to the human intellect.
We simply cannot understand or fathom His love in its fullness.
What’s remarkable is the fact that we cannot be separated from that love.
It’s not possible.
Why?
Because God loves us despite ourselves.
And that love cannot be stopped by situations, circumstances, or outside forces.
No person can stop it.
No demon in hell can stop it.
No physical thing can stop it.
No distance can stop it.
And this, my friends, is something we should find peace and incredible reassurance in.
Absolutely NOTHING can separate us from God’s love.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 11-5-26
Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Our mind is the hardest thing to control; it wants to be free to do whatever it pleases. And believe me, it can be strong when it is pushing for what it wants.
Keeping our mind stayed means we are keeping it fixed on, supported by, anchored in, or continuously focused on God. This takes work and great effort on our part.
We may say within our heart that we want to serve and obey God, and really mean it. But if we don’t force our mind to submit and follow suit, will it do that? No. It will do what it thinks is right for that moment versus listening to what God is saying to our hearts.
We must choose to make our minds follow God. We have full control over keeping our minds stayed on Him!
Even when our mind is pushing us to go in the opposite direction of what our heart knows to do, it is up to us to make it obey.
Do we want perfect peace in our life today? Where is our mind right now? Is it following God and trusting in Him, or is it doing its own thing?
We have the control in our hands. Let’s make it happen.
Keep it stayed on Him!

My Bible Verse of The Day - 11-4-26
Matthew 11:7 (NLT) 7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind?
When Jesus speaks, He does so with purpose; intentional words spoken with absolute authority.
And in this verse, He said something that carries a lot of weight.
He questioned the people about what kind of man they thought John the Baptist was.
He was not asking for their opinion as much as He was reassuring them of John’s character and his unwillingness to compromise his faith for the sake of avoiding discomfort or persecution.
John knew that the words he spoke would bring fire and accusations against him.
He did not speak in such a way for the sake of drawing the ire of those who were the subject of his fiery words.
He called out sin when he saw it, regardless of who it might have been committing those sins.
So, in answer to the question Jesus asked of the people, no, John was not a weak reed bending in the wind.
He was a rock, standing firm on God’s truth, and not afraid to defend his faith and the truth that his faith was built on.
And that begs the question; are we a weak reed easily bent by the wind, afraid of standing for truth, and willing to compromise to avoid discomfort and fiery darts from the enemy?
If we struggle with this, we need to remember what Jesus taught.
Luke 9:23 (LSB) 23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
Is it always easy to live this way?
No. It is not. But it is what He requires of us if we wish to be faithful followers.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Paul was in prison as he wrote these words to Timothy. He was encouraging Timothy to press on, keep giving it his all, and to not get discouraged.
We must apply these words to our lives as well.
This doesn’t mean we will never be afraid when we face difficult situations or get knocked back from the impact of them.
We may struggle in our insecurities at times. We are only human. The enemy knows it, and he will use it to try and stop us.
But we are not fighting this good fight on our own.
God has blessed us with His help; that is, with His power.
We have His deep love and a sound mind to get through everything we must face as a follower of Christ.
We are not alone, and we are capable of doing more than we know as He equips us for this journey!
Lift up our eyes to the heavens today and know where are strength and stability come from; our Lord God! Trust in Him to move through us and overcome our fears.
Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 11-2-26
Matthew 6:24 (LSB) 24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
There is much in this verse for us all to learn, especially if we look at it with a wide lens, so we can see it in a broader sense than just relating to money or wealth.
While Jesus was speaking here specifically about money and wealth, if we pull back, we can see the opportunity to look also at other things.
Consider that He stated we cannot serve two masters. Serve, in this verse, also refers to being a slave to something.
We cannot be a slave to God and to something else.
If we were to replace money with various sins, this may suddenly become more relatable to us.
Drunkenness. Thievery. Sexual immorality. Lying. And the list can go on.
These represent some of the things we can become a slave to, allowing them to become our master.
Jesus said we cannot serve two masters. We must hate one and love the other.
So, if we take what Jesus has said, and we use this context to examine whatever it is that we may be a slave to at this very moment, it makes it plain and clear as to what we must do.
We must remove what has taken God’s place in our hearts. We must learn to hate whatever it is.
And we must love God more than that thing we have become enslaved to.
It is only when we hate the sin that we will make a sincere effort to separate ourselves from it.
And it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we will be able to do so.
Remember, flesh cannot overcome flesh. It requires the Spirit of God to break the chains that are holding us, and until we allow God’s Spirit in, the flesh will continue to win the battle. And we will remain a slave.
Let Him in. And win the battle once and for all.

View MoreShock rocker Alice Cooper has openly declared that his ultimate identity is rooted in faith, not stadium anthems. Speaking in an interview with Pastor Greg Laurie, the rock legend laid out his priority: ‘First, I’m a child of God. Second of all, I’m in a rock band.’
For years, substance abuse nearly destroyed him. The turning point arrived after days without sleep, facing a collapsing marriage, when Cooper looked in the mirror, saw what appeared to be blood running down his face, and flushed his cocaine stash away. He turned to Christian counseling and faith, stating bluntly: ‘Really, the only cure I had was Jesus.’
Addressing the hollow nature of fame and wealth, Cooper emphasized that human striving fails where faith provides: ‘If you don’t have the Lord in your life, you’re always going to be trying to fill that hole with something.’ #alicecooper #jesus See less
