Thanksgiving Already!

Wow!! I can't believe that it's Thanksgiving time already, can you? It seemed like just last month it was Christmas. I know sometimes we can get all caught up with the baking of pies and turkey and all the fixings. But let us not forget the true meaning of thanksgiving. Here are a few verses to reflect upon and meditate why we are truely thankful.

"Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" Psalm 107:8 nkjv

"It is a time of deep thanksgiving to the Lordfor blessing you with a good harvest and in so many other ways; it shall be a time of great joy." Deuteronomy 16:15b tlb

" it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." Psalm 92:1a

" We thank You, O God! We give thanks because You are near." Psalm 75:1a nlt

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:4-5

"giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Eph 5:20

"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." I Thessalonians 5:18

"Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name. Psalm 18:49

"I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people." Psalm 35:18

" Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms." Psalm 95:1-2

These are just a few verses that talk about giving thanks to the Lord. So as we prepare our thanksgiving meal don't forget to thank Him for all He has done in your life. Thank you Lord, for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on that cross for our sins. Thank you for your grace, mercy, forgiveness and love.

God Bless your Thanksgiving!!

What is the Truth?

What is the truth?
Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible.Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.Truth is what God says is true.The truth is important not because it is simply true. It is important because truth is what defines who and what we believe in.Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Especially about Jesus.

What me and my Family Believe

What We Believe
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be spiritual! Therefore we remain flexible so the Holy Spirit may direct our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be inspirational! Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be intelligent! Therefore, in our services, we emphasize Bible teaching so God may instruct us how He would be worshipped.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be fruitful! Therefore we look for His love in our lives as the greatest evidence that we are truly worshipping Him.

How To Know God

How to Know God

Realize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.Repent of your sin.The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.Receive Jesus Christ into your life.Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in...” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven.

The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).

Praise the Lord, if you just asked Jesus in your heart I want you to know that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing for you and so am I. Go to http://www.calvarychapel.com/?show=Churches and click on churches to find the closest church to you and go. Go and tell them that you've just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. They will be able to lead you to the next step.

God Bless you Brethren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen!!!
Your sister in Christ Jesus!!!
