God's Wondrous Love

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

1) The Greatest Lover

2) The Greatest Degree of Love

3) The Greatest Company

4) The Greatest Act

5) The Greatest Gift

6) The Greatest Opportunity

7) The Greatest Simplicity

8) The Greatest Attraction

9) The Greatest Promise
10) The Greatest Difference

11) The Greatest Certainty

12) The Greatest Possession

God's wondrous love! Nothing can describe it. Nothing can measure it. Oh, the magnitude of God's love! God loved us so much that He was willing to give His only Son to this world, that we might through Him believe and be saved. That is the greatest love! God was willing to sacrifice all that we might be saved! God literally turned His back on His Son--He Who took all of our sin upon Him--that He might bring us to God.

"The nail-pierced hands of Jesus reveal the love-filled heart of God."

Oh, how He loves

you and me!

Soldiers of Christ, Arise!

Let me turn your attention to our military for a moment. (It doesn't have to be American, although I am especially partial!)…any military will do for my illustration. What are some characteristics you can think of? Feel free to leave your comments! Here are some I thought of: looks sharp disciplined works hard defends a cause not focused on selfish desires Now, there's no doubt a number of other characteristics that could be added to this; but this gives us a good start. This is an excellent comparison for us, Christian! There are so many countless people today who call themselves "Christians," and yet really have no desire to follow the Savior. (perhaps I'll save that for another post!) At any rate, God calls us to have all of those characteristics, and yet too many Christians today would rather just do their own thing. What a shame! I think our military today would call that going "AWOL," (meaning Absent Without Official Le

It's Not about You!

Do you know what your biggest problem is? [yours and mine!] Our biggest problem is a heart that wants it's own way. I've heard it said that pride is our number one problem… but I think selfish desires is the thing ruling our hearts. You can picture it this way--either Christ is on the throne of your heart or self is. Either you're serving God or you're serving self. And that's true for every decision or choice you make throughout each day. Galatians 2:20 says, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." "yet not I, but Christ" If you're growing and maturing in Christ at all, you should have realized, "It's not about me…It's all about Christ!" He is the reason for our living. He is the reason for it all. And we are to be glorifying

Two Wolves: Cherokee Wisdom

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil . It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good . It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." The Bible probably has various verses that back this up; but the one that comes to mind is Romans 8:6 which says, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." The point is this: We can choose self and the flesh or we can choose God. God's ways are al
