See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does...

Luke 6:32-33
Are you really showing true love by only loving those who love you back? Even those who don’t know God will do that. Are you really showing compassion when you do good deeds only to those who do good deeds to you? Even those who don’t know God will do that.”

Selfless Love

The Quiet Brook - Time in His Presence is a unique daily devotional with topics that benefit all Christians. The two-day format allows extra time to meditate on the word of God. Get it today: Click here


“…the one who truly loves a fellow believer lives in the light, and there is nothing in Him that will cause someone else to stumble. But whoever hates a fellow believer lives in the darkness – stumbling around in the dark with no clue where he is going, for he is blinded by the darkness.” I John 2:10-11

“God so loved…that He gave His only begoken Son.” John 3:16 The selfless act of God’s love to reach you required Him to be separated from His Son. It required Jesus to be separated from His Father, endure the agony of a humiliating death and the ultimate shame of going to hell…in your place. He was without sin; but became your sin. Your love for Jesus and knowing what He demonstrated for you gives you the...

“If someone claims, ‘I have come to know God by experience,’ yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony, and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word.” I John 2:4-5

Hear and Obey. This simple concept separates adults from children. Maturity vs. Immaturity. Warrior vs. Wimp!

My Thoughts on Finishing 2020 #Epic Strong:
 
The Covid-19 pandemic, although difficult, has had its benefits as well. For many, it has given us space to get our priorities in right order. It has helped us to find out that GOD is THE Source of our identity, provision, and joy…not any other human...

The Power of One

Power of One

 

"For, if, by the trespass of the one man,
death reigned through that one man,
how much more will those who receive
God's abundant provision of grace and
of the gift of righteousness reign in life
through the one man, Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:17
Life has a way of throwing curve balls. One minute it seems "all is well" and the next like "all hell broke loose." Ever noticed that?

When things are going well we have the tendency to have a song in our hearts and a whistle on our lips. BUT, when things go sideways and upside down, oh my. That's often a different story. Gone is the song AND the whistle.

In our text notice the Power of One.
Through ONE man, Adam, death reigned. We were sold out to being born with a sin nature.
Through ONE man, Jesus Christ, that debt was paid on our behalf. When we accepted His gift, invited Him into our lives to be our Lord and Savior...that changed everything.
Now, through the ONE man, Jesus Christ we receive some powerful gifts to see...

Holiness

This Episode: Holiness


In this episode Mama J and Chad have a great conversation about infectiousness, Love, Holiness and choice.


"Holiness is not infectious." Haggai 2:10-14

Haggai describes how God's glory will fill His house. We are God's house, His dwelling place. God was teaching His priests (which we are also) the principle that holiness and unholiness don't mix.

If I put a drop of saltwater into a container of pure water; it's no longer pure. If a moldy piece of fruit is in a basket with good fruit, what happens? The moldy fruit contaminates the whole basket.

However, the reverse is not true. Saltwater is not made pure by pouring pure water into it. Good apples in the basket will not un-contaminate the moldy one. Same with us. God gave Adam and Eve freedom, authority and access to Himself. He only had one restriction: "Don't eat from that tree!"

There HAD to be a choice involved. Otherwise their relationship with God would not be based on love-because-I-want-to, but...

Overcoming - Negative Inner Dialogue - use your words wisely

chad smanjak forgive love Mar 14, 2019

EPIC CONQUERORS PODCAST:

OVERCOMING NEGATIVE INNER DIALOGUE - EPISODE 2


Use your words wisely.

"The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences."  -Proverbs 18:21 
No doubt someone has hurt you, offended you, betrayed you, or slandered you… it's time to stop the cycle. Don’t lower yourself to their level and become another “accuser.” Don’t allow the inner negative dialogue to suck you in to that dark place.
Forgive.  Forgive yourself…It’s so difficult; especially when it keeps coming up; but we have to let it go… again, and again, if necessary. 
There’s a God in heaven who sees and knows and will see you through. Stay the course. 
So… how are you using your words? 
Are you speaking life or death?  We have a choice. I choose life. What do you choose?
Some of us had parents or adult role models in our life that screwed this up. They...
