A Brief Word on Reconciliation (Part One)

Have you ever been hurt by something a friend or loved one has either said or did to you? Better yet, have YOU ever said or did something that has hurt someone you love? It’s sometimes instinctive to allow the weight of the guilt that has been created to drive a wedge between us and the ones we love. However, experience and history often shows that hiding or avoiding them is not the true path

A Loving Walk

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.
2 John 1:6a

Love is not solely about telling others how much you love them. It is not about showing acts of kindness with the expectation of having it reciprocated. Love is the first and greatest commandment of God, and it ultimately boils down to OBEDIENCE.

If we look to King Saul in the Old Testament, we find him giving lip service regarding his love for God to

The Healing of Hospitality

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Peter 4:9

To show hospitality is to warmly receive strangers into your midst and treat them kindly. We are commanded by the Gospel to love others as God loves us. The Authorized Version of the Bible uses the word charity for love throughout much of the New Testament.

We are reminded here, also, to not be complainers nor murmur when showing hospitality. It must come from a repentant and regenerated

Fundamentals of Fellowship

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25

You will not find anywhere in the Bible the words, “you must go to church.” However, the church is NOT the building, but it’s the BODY of God’s believers! A body, like many other things, has different components put TOGETHER! When believers fellowship, they come TOGETHER! (Ephesians

Jesus & You, Perfect Together

And his name through faith in his name hath made his man strong…the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Acts 3:16

This verse is addressing the faith of a lame man who was unable to walk for all of his life. He was laid outside the temple daily and collected money from those entering to go pray. The Bible says that faith comes by HEARING (by

The Power of the Tongue

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21

The Scriptures describe the tongue as an unruly evil and also a source from which blessings and curses flow. We must understand, however, that the concept of words not really being harmful is simply not true. Words are planted in one’s heart as seeds are planted in the soil.

The impact of the words may not

Labor of Love

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Matthew 5:44

Labor means to work and must LABOR in order to love. From the time of man’s fall back in the Garden of Eden, the seed of a rebellious spirit has been flourishing within us. We are not in a position to truly understand love

A Perpetual Promise

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:5┬á

From the time that God has led Israel from out of Egypt, He has always been with them.┬á From being in the Ark to being in the hearts of men, He has always been with His creation.┬á No matter what you may be going through, always realize that the presence of God is closer than you think.

The word never should stand out in this Scripture.┬á God is

Love Continually

Let brotherly love continue.
Hebrews 13:1

Jesus delivered the Great Commandment to us in that we are to not only love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, but we are to love one another as well. This is known as agape love (love that has no conditions or limits attached). While it is important for us to show love to our fellow Christians, we must also extend this love to the stranger so
