God’s eternal, powerful, gracious & merciful nature was in Jesus at conception & in the womb of his earthly mother. This nature became evident in the life & ministry of Jesus on earth but was more powerfully made known through the Lord’s death & resurrection. • #child #son #government #Jesus #wonderful-counselor #mighty-god #everlasting-father❤️ #princeofpeace #isaiah9v6

Anyone thirsty for real life that quenches all thirst? The Lord Jesus invited us “to come...drink freely of the water of life” 💦 • #invitation #drinkfreely #wateroflife #revelation22v17

Speak an encouraging word to someone today...everyday...to many people. There’s more than enough discouragement & too much that causes anxiety & worry. Speaking encouraging words lightens the heart of others & it will bring joy to them & us as well. #encouragement #encouragingwords #joy #heart #joyful #proverbs12v25

God desires relationship with us-whoever we are, whatever our status, wherever we are. The Lord desires to give us life and favor but He will not force us into relationship with Him. We need to pursue Him, to trust in Him, to love Him that we may receive His love, favor, and true life. #proverbs8v17v35 #love #favorofgod #life #pursue #theLord

So many protests, so much divisiveness! Oh, that we all might heed this admonition- “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬ http://bible.com/111/jas.1.19.niv #listen #hear #oneanother #james1v19

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:28-29‬ ‭NIV‬‬ In a world that is being shaken around us, true believers are to be thankful. For our life hidden in our unshakeable God & His kingdom is secure. And yet, it is not to be taken for granted but should motivate us to serve the Lord with reverence & awe #unshakeable #kingdom #reverence #awe #serve #God #hebrews12v28v29

“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NKJV -‬‬ This is us Church! When we choose any other way than following Jesus our own way rather than- denying our selfishness, dying to our self & surrendering our life to Him daily #luke9v23 #2evils #jeremiah2v13

“Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ We all need hope, a sense of vision that brings clarity to our life. But this hope needs to be grounded in truth- the truth of God, wisdom & understanding that endures through times of chaos & uncertainty. Otherwise, we are overcome & lose hope because of present circumstances & times of crisis. Seek Him who reveals trustworthy wisdom so your hope is sure. Seek God! #vision #revelation #hope #wisdom #God #proverbs29v18

Every one of us bears some responsibility for those in need, those who are oppressed & those bent on destroying themselves. Reach out to someone in trouble today. Listen, encourage, comfort, help, pray for & advise if asked, just don't ignore them #rescuetheperishing #responsibility #proverbs24v11-12

Let us be peacemakers in our relationships & within the world around us. As Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matt 5:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ #gentlewords #patience #calm #peacemakers #proverbs15v1v18

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit ‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:4-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ #kindness #love #Jesus #mercy #rebirth #renewal #holyspirit #titus3v4-5

Had a peaceful & beautiful walk in a sweet little park right in the middle of Crossville 👍#obedriverpark #crossville #tennessee (at Obed River Park)

People measure forgiveness. God doesn't. We measure it based on how bad or morally wrong a person is and their need for forgiveness. Why do we try to measure God's mercy or grace or love? Because we see ourselves as the exception to the rule. Check out the story of Jesus, a religious elite & an immoral woman in Luke 7:36-50 #forgiveness #love #unmeasured #luke7v47
