Judgment of the Nations Where Jesus Separates the Sheep from the Goats
Ask God: Don’t take a trip through life without God’s roadmap, the Bible. Adhering to the Word will prevent you from getting lost and wandering through life. We all need direction for our lives and the Word of God provides that direction. Good Evening Reader, We have so much to be thankful for. God is with us wherever we go or whatever we do. May we strive to please Him in all we do. God Bless. Elvin Jesus Teaching His Followers Understanding the Three Judgment Seats Understanding the three...
The Last Shall be First and the First Last
Ask God: God is with you during the good and the bad times. He is faithful and just. It is good to learn how the Kingdom of God works. This lesson demonstrates that God looks at things and situations differently than we do. God looks at our hearts not the stockpile of rewards given by man. Good Evening Reader, I hope you had a good week. God loves you and He is always in your corner cheering you on. Remember, God looks at our hearts for those who give Him the glory. God Bless. Elvin God...
How To Exercise Faith in Life's Storms
Ask God: How strong is your faith? In Matthew 14, Jesus teaches an important lesson to believers: Troubles will strengthen your faith when you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. If life had no challenges, you would have no reason to grow in faith. Sometimes, God provides the trials for growth of our faith. Good Evening Reader, For without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). The Hebrew writer knew that faith is critical to our walk with Jesus. Let us strive to grow in faith....
The Kingdom of God Beings in a Believer's Heart
Ask God: One of Jesus most favorite subjects was teaching about the Kingdom of God. He wanted all to know how God's kingdom worked. For the believer, the kingdom of God is in the heart. Good Evening Reader, As believers, we have the kingdom on God in our hearts. It starts very small and grows, much like the Gospel which started with 12 disciples and today has millions and millions of believers. Even our faith grows when we exercise the faith we have. God Bless. Elvin Five Loaves and Two Fish...
Now That You Follow Christ, What Do You Do?
Ask God: In years of teaching God's Word, I have encountered individuals that have not learned what to do after accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior. Jesus said to Matthew, "Follow me." What do you think these words meant to Matthew? What do they mean to you. Good Evening Reader, Today, we will look at Psalm 121 and Matthew 9:9-17. Matthew had a decision to make. He did not ponder on the question but accepted it immediately. Now, his life would forever be changed as he absorbed the...
How to Become a Doer of the Word
Ask God: How do believers move from being only an observer to being a doer of the Word? It starts with right thinking about the Word, then believing God's Truth in your heart, and continually speaking the Word of God. By thinking, believing, and speaking God's Word, you will become a Doer of the Word. Good Evening Reader, In the following weeks we will be studying the Book of Matthew. We look at the turning point for the disciples when Jesus called them to "follow me." Many of us have had a...
What Do I Do While I Wait For Christ's Return
Ask God: What do you do when you love someone and cannot go to see them? Paul wrote to the Thessalonian believers to incourage them to remain faithful in Christ as they wait for Christ's return. He further encouraged them to live fruitful lives. Good Evening Reader, The believers in Thessalonica were very concerned about friends and relatives who had died. The believers feared their friends and relatives had missed the return of Christ. While in Thessalonica, Paul had taught them that Christ...
God Instructed Joshua to Speak the Word, to Meditate, and to Be a Doer of the Word
Ask God: Some verses in the Bible are filled with wisdom and knowledge. Joshua 1:8 is such a verse. In it, God instructs Joshua in the way to have success in the biggest challenge of his life. Moses had died and Joshua was now the Israelite leader, and it was his responsibility to lead them into the Promised Land. Good Evening Reader, All Christians want to prosper and to have a successful life. God handed Joshua the keys to an abundant life. God told Joshua to know God's Word, to continually...
We Will Meet Again in Heaven
Ask God For: Paul loved the church in Thessalonica. The church was going through tough times but were remaining faithful to Christ. Paul wanted to encourage them to look to their future with Christ. Their duty was not only to love Christ but to love each other. Good Evening Reader, Yes, the storms in life come but our hope is in Christ. He is the Sunshine beyond the storm. He is our hope and we give glory to Him. Let us encourage each other and pray for each other. This always puts a smile on...
Faith That Rings Out: Living for Christ While We Wait
Ask God: Some churches stand above all others in faithfulness. Thessalonica was such a church. They became the example for all the region of Macedonia and Achaia. Paul wrote to them in the First and Second Thessalonians to encourage them and to stand firm until the coming of Christ. Good Evening Reader, As storms cross much of the United States, we can stand warm in Christ Jesus knowing that He is our future and our hope. Let us pray for those who are affected by the ice storm. May God...
