We are one day closer to the coming of the One who saved us to serve, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:4-10

In John 9:4, Jesus said, “We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work”. We can see the shade on the window of the world is just about pulled all the way down. The night is almost here. God has given each one of us great opportunities to work in these exciting times, and He prepared us for it, “in advance”. He has blessed us with one more day to serve Him. I pray you are encouraged. With Him, we can do this! Let’s go to work!

God bless you all as we serve Him on our Mission on this amazing Monday!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who is “full of grace and truth”, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14

We may all be aware of the familiar accounts of people in God’s Word, like Noah and the ark, Moses and the Red Sea, Joshua and the walls of Jericho, David and Goliath, and too many others to name. But never forget, for every “famous” name, there have been countless others that God has used to bring the message of His love, grace and truth to the world. And that includes you! As I often mention, when the book of Acts ends, it kind of leaves us hanging, wondering what the rest of the story is. That’s because it isn’t finished! The Lord has been recording the rest of it in heaven, and it includes each one of us. One day we will all get to hear how God has used you and me, in ways we could never imagine, to bring Him glory and praise for all eternity. Keep your eyes on Him! He isn’t finished with us yet.

God bless you all on our Mission every day!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who is The First and The Last, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'” – Isaiah 46:10

All the recent activities in and around Israel, continue to show us that it is the center-ring of God’s attention in the world. No one should be surprised at this, because the prophecies of the Bible have told us that as we move closer to the time of Christ’s return, that area of the world will become God’s “cup of trembling” (Zechariah 12:2).

But do not fear! God is only setting the stage for His grand entrance. It’s all part of the script. Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The big question is, “When the movie is over, where will YOU be when the credits run?” And by the way, there is only ONE place where you can see the credits. In Heaven. The other place is total darkness.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). If you have yet to place your faith and trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, I urge you to do so today. Tomorrow may be too late!

Lord, thank You for the promise of Your return and for showing us the way to life! Grant us the wisdom and boldness to share the Gospel of Your grace and love on our Mission every day. Amen!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who is our Rock, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” – Luke 6:46-49

When Jesus said, “Why do you call me Lord and don’t do what I say?”, He was emphasizing how important it is to actually put what we say we believe into practice. Those who do will be like a house built on a rock. Those who don’t, like a house with no foundation. Doing the will of God doesn’t just automatically happen after we’ve placed our faith in Jesus. We have to first learn what His will is, and then do it! Living in obedience to what the Lord says is not easy. It takes time and effort. But always remember, that when we are walking in obedience to His Word, He will always lead us on “level” and solid ground. The devil is pulling out all the stops in our world today to throw us off in our walk with God. Let’s not forget to remain steadfast in our devotion to the teachings of the One we call our “Lord”.

Father, fill us each day with Your Spirit, that we might do Your will by following Your Word, and walk on level ground. Amen!

God bless you all on our Mission for Him today!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who is our ultimate Helper, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“I waited patiently for the Lord, and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.” – Psalm 40:1

There’s a story of a man who died at the controls of his small plane. His wife took over the controls and desperately radioed for help. But the authorities who picked up her distress call were not able to reach her because she kept changing channels. She ended up crash landing and barely survived. How often do we cry out to God for help, but switch channels before His message comes through? We turn to other sources for help, look to them for guidance, and we “crash”. Don’t switch channels when you call on God for His help. He hears you and will ultimately answer your call.

Lord, help us to trust in You for all our needs, even as we wait for Your answer. Thank You for hearing our calls to You and for being our true source of help at all times. Amen.

God bless you all on our Mission today!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who has given us an eternal inheritance, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” – 1 Peter 1:3-5

We hear the “leaders” of today make statements like, “You will own nothing and be happy”. But what else would you expect from people who are following after “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4)? We know that our arch enemy came “to steal, and kill, and destroy” (John 10:10). Thankfully, we are “not of this world” (John 17:16), and we have been given “everything that we need for life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3) while we are here on the earth. And not only that, as “citizens of heaven” (Philippians 3:20) and co-heirs with Christ, we have an inheritance that is “kept in heaven”, waiting for the day when our Redeemer comes and claims everyone that belongs to Him, on that soon coming, great and glorious day of our removal from this world! O, Happy Day!

God bless you all on our Mission, as we keep watching for that glorious day!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who has removed all our sin forever, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” – Psalm 103:11-12

There is a definite point that is “north” and another that is “south” on the globe, the North and South Poles. But there are NO such points for “east” and “west”. No matter how far you go to the east, you will NEVER arrive where west begins. The two do not meet. They will never meet and never could meet. When God says He removes our transgressions “as far as the east is from the west”, He is telling us He puts them where no one can ever find them. That is the gift of forgiveness God has offered to all. We must simply accept that gift in faith, and recognize Him as the giver.

Lord, thank You for the forgiveness You have given us through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. Amen!

God bless you all on our Mission as we wait for His return!

We are one day closer to the coming of the One who promised to return for us, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.” – John 14:3

Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus, the living Word of God in the flesh, came to earth (John 1:1; 14). Before leaving, He gave us a promise that He would return (John 14:3), and although we don’t know exactly when that will be, many things point to that happening soon. But Jesus also promised to reward all those who would do His will, and to those who have done so, they will hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21). So let’s remain steadfast and continue to “abide in Him, so that when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28).

Lord, we look forward to Your soon return. Help us to remain faithful in serving You and reaching out to others with the Good News of Your coming again! Amen!

God bless you all on our Mission for Him today!

We are one day closer to the return of the One who is always there for us, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

Did you know that 1.3 million earths could fit into the size of the sun? Yet, when the sun gets low on the horizon and glaring in our eyes, all we have to do is put our hand up and block it out. The reason this is possible is obvious. Our hand, even though it is very small, is near to us. The sun, although extremely large, is very far away. Sometimes, when we experience problems in our lives, and because they are so near to us, we allow them to block out the fact that God is bigger and can help us overcome any of our problems. Let’s make sure we stay close to God so we can keep things in proper perspective, especially during these troubling times.

Lord, help us to remember that You are always near to us as our refuge, and ready to give us the strength we need in any time of trouble. Amen.

May the Lord bless you all on our Mission for Him every day!

We are one day closer to the return of the One who gives us strength for living every day, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” – Colossians 3:16

Think about the difference between a strong and a weak cup of tea. The exact same ingredients are used for both. The difference is, the stronger cup results from the tea remaining in the water for more time, allowing more tea to get into the water. The longer the steeping process, the stronger the tea. In the same way, the length of time we spend in God’s Word determines how deeply it gets into us. Just like tea, the more time we are in the Word, the “stronger” we become.

Lord, help us to never neglect the time we need in the Word, that we may remain strong in our walk with You. Amen.

God bless you all as we serve Him on our Mission today! Keep looking up!
