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 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 return of the One who speaks to us through His Word, our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes. I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.” – Psalm 119:145-148

Do these words describe your love for God and His Word? Like David, we are all far from where we could be in our relationship with the Lord. But the only way our love and desire for Him can grow is when we spend time with Him. And the only way we can know what He wants for our lives is by getting into His Word. David understood this and even though he had his failings, God still called him “a man after my own heart”. Why? Because of his great love for God’s Word! We are certainly living in perilous times, and God is speaking to us louder than ever. I pray we love Him enough to take time to listen.

Lord, put the desire in our hearts that will cause us to seek Your Word constantly while we are on our Mission for You. God bless you all!

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

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.” – 1 Corinthians 15:51-53

People may debate as to when this glorious event will happen, but regardless of anyone’s ideas, this “mystery” will come to pass. That wonderful day will come, and it is truly something all believers in Jesus can look forward to. Right now, it certainly looks like this could happen soon. I have heard people say that there are so many things happening in our world today, they’re not watching for more “signs”, they are listening for “the trumpet”. That’s an interesting way of putting it. But the important thing is, no matter when this ultimate day comes, it WILL happen! You can count on it! “Therefore, encourage one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

Lord, help us to keep our eyes AND ears open as we work for You on our Mission every day! God bless you all and keep looking up!

We are one day closer to the return of our glorious Redeemer, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” – Luke 21:28

Jesus tells us that no one but the Father in heaven knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return (Matthew 24:36). But Jesus also tells us many times that we are to be ready and WATCHING (Matthew 24:42-44). What are we watching for? Let me just say this: if we are so busy with the things in life that we rarely take the time to read the living Word of God, listen to the Holy Spirit of God, and commune with God our Father in prayer, how can we expect to see what He wants us to be “looking” for? In case you haven’t noticed, our redemption IS drawing near! Look around you. That time is almost here. So let’s be ready, and be watching!

Lord, help us not neglect the precious resources You have given us, to help keep our hearts and minds looking up for Your promised return!

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

We are one day closer to the return of the One who saves us by His grace, the Lord Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” – Titus 2:11-14

Let these verses sink in, for Paul covers all the bases of what God has done for us, and all by His loving grace. He “appeared” to JUSTIFY us by the sacrifice of His Son and to give us a new life by His grace, and to SANCTIFY us by His grace, teaching us to live “godly lives” by the power of His Spirit, and finally, to GLORIFY us by His grace, on the Day of His appearing determined by the Father that we “wait” for. What an amazing gift God’s redeeming grace is! I pray it’s a gift we’ll use every day!

Lord, may we always live in the light of Your glorious grace on our Mission for You! God bless you all!

We are one day closer to the return of the One who has won the battle over the devil, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Keep looking up!

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

From the first time that the Adversary said, “Did God really say…” (Genesis 3:1), the Word of Truth has been under attack. And the list of how God’s Word and those who follow the Truth have been attacked is endless. That is because it is “The Word of God”, the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:13), that will ultimately prevail against the devil and all his lies and deceptions that have led countless souls to a godless eternity. And Satan is not done yet. The greatest deception is still to come, and the conditions in our world are ripe for the Deceiver to make his move. And when he does, it may appear that his deception is working, but it will ultimately be his biggest mistake. “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:8). Praise God Almighty!

Brothers and sisters, let’s make sure we put on the full armor of God every day so that we don’t fall victim to the devil’s attacks. And may the Lord give us the boldness and the strength to faithfully share the Truth of His Word, that many may be saved from what is coming!

Lord, give us the wisdom we need to help others see the deceptions of our enemy and come to the saving truth of Your Word, for Your glory! Amen. God bless you all on our Mission today!

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

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.” – 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13

If you could be granted ONE wish, what would it be? That is a question that, from time to time, I’m sure we’ve all heard. And although it is a rhetorical question, still, what would your answer truly be? I’m not going to speculate on what some responses might be, but, having just a bit of knowledge of what has gone on in the world over time, may I share what my wish would be? It would be for God’s perfect love to become the new way of life for everyone in the world, and that it would, as Paul writes, “increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else”.

Think of what that might look like. Could that ever happen? Yes, in fact, that day is coming! But it won’t happen as the result of a wish. It will only come about due to the ultimate creation of “a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13), AND the transforming power of the Gospel for anyone who will believe and trust in Jesus as their Savior. My prayer for all who read this is that they have placed their faith in the only One who can answer that wish — the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that we might truly live in His love forever!

Lord, although our time here may be short, help us to be an expression of Your love to all we meet, on our Mission for You, every day! God bless you all!

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

“For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11

It doesn’t take much to see how evil and disturbing things have become in the world. And the deeper you dig, the darker it becomes. But we, as believers in Jesus Christ, have hope in the promises of God to encourage and build us up as we serve the One who gave His life so that we may live with Him! Keep up the good work, brothers and sisters, and be encouraged. I think the Day we are all waiting for will be here soon!

May the living hope we have in Jesus, encourage and comfort each one of us, as we serve Him on our Mission today, waiting for our blessed tomorrow! God bless you all!
