  Follow the Smart Money Scripture: Matthew 6:20 “…But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven….”  (Matthew 6:20) You can have an eternal 401 (k). Yes, it lasts forever! Yes, it is guaranteed. The returns are fantastic!  In fact, they are beyond our human ability to measure. In this world crowds of people follow “stock tips.” They follow what they perceive to be “smart money” and invest in companies for which they have little or no information. Most of the time this type of investing results in losses. Jesus gives us an “eternal investment tip.” He says the smart money of this world will be sure to invest in treasures in heaven. He also says we should use the unrighteous mammon (money) of this world to win friends for eternity! Yes, you can take it with you by investing it in the world to come. You can only do this by sending it ahead by giving or investing in the kingdom while you are in this world. Just think; he is giving us the opportunity to trade the paper currenc...

  Are You Being Transformed? Scripture: Romans 12:2 “ Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect  will. ” (Romans 12: 2) God is in the life changing business. He wants to transform us into being more Christlike in all areas of our life. The first step occurs when we place our  faith and trust in Christ alone  to be our personal Lord and Savior. This is a huge step of faith for us to take. All other religions have people attempt to reach God through works of self-effort, trusting in themselves rather than trusting in the person of Jesus Christ alone to save them. Only the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. In Kingdom of God , we learn to exercise the same faith when it comes to living the Christian life. Only Christ can live it through us, because we do not have that power in and of ourselves to live it. The experi...

  So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. Hebrews 2:1 Careful to Not Drift It’s interesting to watch children at the beach who are playing in the waves of the ocean. After an extended period of play, you’ll see them look up and realize that they are a hundred yards down the beach from where they started. They didn’t realize that that whole time they were slowly drifting. It wasn’t a big storm or huge waves that caused them to drift. It was just the normal movement of the ocean. If you are not careful and aware, the normal currents of life will cause you to drift from the faith. To drift does not require a major sickness or a divorce; just everyday life will do it. Perhaps you don’t realize it, but you may have drifted into a place of doubt. You used to be excited about your dreams, but the passion is gone. Maybe you’ve drifted into bitterness because you had a bad break, a person did you wrong. The good news is that you can stop th...

  Show Me Your Ways, O God, That I Might Know You Better Scripture: Isaiah 64:5 “You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways.”  (Isaiah 64:5) This is an incredible statement. Almighty God will actually come to the help of those who gladly do right and remember his ways! I am awestruck when I read passages in the Bible like this. My first response is to ask, “How can this truth of Scripture operate in my life?” I want to experience it to the fullest possibility! Maybe Moses had this in mind when he said to God he wanted God to show him his ways so that he might know him, and thus, find grace or favor in his sight. After all, if we have God’s favor in this world, what else do we really need?  He will come to our aid. He will make provision for us in a multitude of ways. In fact, he will do more than we could ever ask, think, or imagine according to his immeasurable power that is at work in us and our circumstances. Passages like these create a ...

  Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John 11:40 If You Believe In John 11, Mary and Martha were hurting and disappointed that Jesus had not come quickly enough to heal their brother, Lazarus. Every thought was telling, “It’s not fair that he died. Jesus, why did You let this happen to him?” Jesus told them to trust Him when it didn’t seem good, when sorrow was overwhelming them. They had hoped for a healing, but Jesus had a resurrection in mind. You may be dealing with an illness, or struggling in a relationship, or have people coming against you. It feels dark, lonely, discouraging. You don’t see how it could ever work out. Stay in faith. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it weren’t going to move you forward. You don’t know what God is doing behind the scenes. This is what faith is all about. The good news is that a resurrection is coming, so to speak, when God vindicates you, heals you, promotes you, restores you. Just believe ...

  The Importance of Living God’s Way Scripture: Genesis 24:27 “….As for me, being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.”  (Genesis 24:27) For our life to echo into eternity properly, we have to make sure we are on the path the Lord has established for us to follow. Most of us have experienced being lost or heading in the wrong direction because we have taken a wrong turn. Life is full of “detours” that lead us astray and hinder us from being the effective servants God wants us to be. The Lord has specific plans for each of us while we are on this side of eternity. In this passage, the servant of Abraham was sent on a mission to obtain a wife for Isaac, the son of Abraham. The servant acknowledged that the Lord had led him since he was in the way God planned for him. A practitioner of Kingdom of God is not only focused on the mission God gives, but also is sensitive to the importance of doing things God’s way. This is another reason why it is critica...
