BE THOUGHTFUL

We believe that it is important to be thoughtful when considering God's Word, the Bible. We hope you will check back from time to time for thoughts on God's Word and how it applies to us daily.

A great multitude

10/28/2017

 
Picture

"After these things I looked, and behold a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands."  -Revelation 7:9

God's kingdom is not divided as we have made it. His kingdom is open to all who put their hope in Christ. How glorious to see this as God's plan. Keep in mind that this sprawling assembly of saints will endure great suffering for Jesus' sake before receiving their robes, yet they stand as one body - whole. There will come a time when all of our "other" causes will be burned like chaff for the cause of encouraging one another to endurance in our shared faith. Help me see my eternal family everyday Lord. Not by color or country but through the lens of Christ's blood.  

Where is your heaven?

10/16/2017

 

"I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they hold...then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who would be killed as they were was completed." -Revelation 6:9-11

There are some who go by the name "christian" who teach a message of heaven on earth - paradise here in the present. You can live your best life with the world's riches at your grasp! This message is preached to the extent that it has created a modern, pseudo-christian, paganism. Christ never promised us an easy discipleship with pockets big enough to carry all the treasures we would accumulate.  He promised that His yoke is easy.  We must be bound to Him - even in suffering, to experience His yoke. The saints pictured in this passage were faithfully bound to Christ even unto death.  They were not looking for a theocratic reinvigoration of earth's governments but looking expectantly and with certainty for the return of Christ. Their death bears witness to their faith, it is the evidence of their faith. May we be bound to Christ's yoke. May we be found faithful, alongside our Lord. 

Do not weep.

10/2/2017

 

​"But one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.'" -Revelation 5:5

Take heart believer! Our Lord has prevailed! Jesus Christ is the only one in eternal existence who is capable of redeeming mankind and He has prevailed! The suffering and confusion we are shadowed by is passing away and lingers on the saints of God at its own peril. Our Lord is faithful to redeem - even as He holds the deed to humanity in his bloodied hand. Do not waiver, faint or be terrified, He is with us always, even to the end of the age* - and He is coming.

*Matthew 28:20
