“Let God Arise and let His enemies be scattered” ......Psalm 68:1
___________________________________________________________________________
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters and he lives in all of us. Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Colossians 3:1-17 NLT
“Celebrating 33+ years of service to Jesus Christ since September 1992.
Do you remember the song made popular by Country Singer Johnny Lee, “Looking for love in all the wrong places?” We were all born prisoners of our carnal nature desperately searching for answers to life (purpose, identity and value). Top of the list, we were all looking for love & acceptance. The wisest person in all the Scripture was King David’s son “Solomon” who searched life’s meaning through every avenue at his disposal (relationships, knowledge, money, power, position, architecture, religion etc.) Every thing he entertained with his eyes and sought after with his heart & soul was meaningless and chasing after the wind. “When will we learn that we are all created beings by the same loving God for the purpose of enjoying our Creator and giving Him all glory, honor and praise?” Jesus Christ said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” He also said, “You can do all things through me who gives you strength”. In His word if I truly want to know my true identity then I must seek an eternal relationship with the one who made me. As we chase God He encourages us to seek those things which are above not earthly things. Then those shackles and chains that bind our body, soul and spirit fall off. The new birth and reality of our true identity and purpose floods our entire being. Jesus Christ said, “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” “We are not natural beings on a spiritual journey rather we are spiritual beings on a natural journey.” Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ and seek those things which are above not those things of the earth. God is love and Jesus Christ died for you demonstrating God’s love for you. The right place for true love is above and not beneath. Seek & love Jesus with all your heart, soul & strength!!! Love Always, Tom & Beth
