The Attitude of Christ (Isaiah 52:13-15)
5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus; 6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God; 7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men; 8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 | 1890 Darby Bible (DARBY) The Darby Translation of the Holy Bible is in the public domain.

Isaiah 50: The Obedient Servant
The third Servant Song describes Messiah as one who trusts and relies completely on God, and knows with conviction that He will be vindicated. That is every Christian's calling and grace. #Isaiah50 #ObedientFaith #ServantSong
In the third Servant Song, Isaiah prophesied about the Messiah as both a scholar and as a willing sufferer in complete submission to the Father’s will, as the pioneer and perfecter of faith. Perfect Faith The Lord God helps me;    therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint,    and I know that I shall not be put to shame;    he who vindicates me is near.Who will…

Nine Biblical Reasons to Reject Donald Trump as a Candidate for President
Wednesday is for Political Controversy I don’t want to write this post.  Despite the fact that I wrote a book with the title Picking a President or Any Other Elected Official, I’m not a really political person.  I’m a registered Independent. Have been all my life. I wish all Christians were registered Independents. I don’t think it is wise for Christians to be identified with either or any…

Philippians 2:5-11: Change your mind
Our mind is incredibly powerful, shaping the realities that surround us. Our thoughts become manifested in our lives. Negative thoughts yield negative results, while positive thoughts yield positive outcomes. Yet, godly thoughts can produce miraculous experiences that are sometimes challenging to grasp. We are the product of our thought processes, and thus, it’s crucial to consistently prune our…

"GOD SEES YOUR POTENTIAL"
Judges 6:15-16, “But Gideon said to Him, “Please Lord, how am I to rescue Israel? Behold, my family is the least [significant] in Manasseh, and I am the youngest (smallest) in my father’s house.” The Lord answered him, “I will certainly be with you, and you will strike down the Midianites as [if they were only] one man.” (AMP) There was a sign that read Antique Auto Show, so Rob and his wife…

Can you imagine that what GOD meant by my cup overfloweth in the presence of my enemies.. it meant HIS joy/comfort will flow freely out to us, as they too drink from it to a much different effect if not Chosen, kind of like Indiana Jones & the Holy Grail even in the movie it was the rich man’s female counterpart who gave him the apple/sinful choice [gold goblet] that led to his demise which was not immediate either..wait for it
He chose poorly.. or wisely to suffer
Not to say any of us can choose wisely in & of our own volition, we can't [Phil 2:13] Psalm 23:5; 45:7; 75:8;  2 Corinthians 2:16
Psalm 23:5 | The LORD Is My Shepherd [Ezekiel 34:11-24; John 10:1-21] ⁵ YOU prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. YOU anoint my head with oil [oil of joy]; my cup overflows.
Psalm 45:7 | ⁷ You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore GOD, your GOD, anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy. Psalm 75:8 | For a cup is in the hand of the LORD — full of foaming #wine mixed w/ spices. HE pours from HIS cup, and all the #wicked of the Earth drink it down to the dregs. But I will proclaim HIM forever; I will sing praise to the GOD of Jacob.
2 Corinthians 2:16 | Triumph in CHRIST ¹⁶ To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?

Have the Same Attitude as Christ
5 In your life together, think the way Christ Jesus thought.
6 He was like God in every way,    but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit. 7 Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God.    He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form. During his life as a man, 8 he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God,    even when that caused his death—death on a cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 | Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) The Holy Bible, Easy-to-Read Version Copyright © 2006 by Bible League International. Cross References: Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 50:5; Matthew 11:29; Matthew 20:28; Matthew 26:39; John 1:1; John 5:18; Romans 15:3; Hebrews 5:8

Revelation 3: Of Crowns and Thrones
Jesus’s promises included crowns and a throne, rewards that may seem anachronistic to those of us who never grew up with kings and queens in our governments. So, how do we understand what Jesus is saying to people like us today? #Revelation3 #Philadelphia
Jesus’s promises to the assembly in Philadelphia included crowns and a throne, rewards that may seem anachronistic to those of us who never grew up with kings and queens in our governments. So, how do we understand what Jesus is saying to people like us, today? Crowns show up pretty regularly in the Greek scriptures, probably because crowns had a number of relevant contexts. Crown of…

How Can I Be Sure I am Saved?
How Can I Be Sure I am Saved?
“How Can I Be Sure I am Saved.” Some time ago, a member of the church wrote to tell me that they were confused on the issues of works and salvation. The following is a copy of an e-mail correspondence that resulted. I wrote the e-mail to help clarify the issues of works versus grace and how they work together in the Christian life. It is a brief attempt for sure, but I thought it might be helpful…

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:4
"Surround yourself with positive people.” I am sure you have heard that phrase so often, but the question is: “Is it Christlike?”
Is it possible for all of us to be positive all of the time? Imagine, what would happen if Jesus did that? Where would all of us be? The Bible says, "while we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son." (Romans 5:10)
And again in Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Jesus truly loved us when we had nothing positive in us. His love is limitless. Let us love like Him and love those who are unlovable, unlovely and demonstrate Christ's love to the world.

Parable of the Prodigal Son:
Jesus conveyed a profound message about forgiveness, redemption, and the boundless love of God. Let's reframe the narrative within this Christian context, drawing from Luke 15:11-32, and infuse it with additional biblical insights.
A certain man had two sons. The younger son asked for his share of the inheritance and journeyed to a distant land where he squandered his wealth in reckless living. Soon, a severe famine swept through the land, and the young man found himself in dire need.
In his desperation, he sought employment feeding pigs, a job that symbolized his degradation and distance from his upbringing. Yet, in his lowest moment, he came to his senses and decided to return to his father, confessing his sins and seeking forgiveness.
His father, filled with compassion, ran to greet him while he was still far off. Instead of condemnation, the father embraced his wayward son, clothing him in the finest robe and celebrating his return with a lavish feast.
Meanwhile, the older son, who had remained obedient and dutiful, grew resentful at the extravagant welcome given to his brother. But the father, ever merciful, reminded him of the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation.
This parable echoes the essence of divine mercy and the unconditional love of God. Just as the father welcomed back his repentant son, so too does our Heavenly Father eagerly await our return, ready to forgive and restore us to fellowship with Him.
The Prodigal Son reminds us of the importance of humility, repentance, and forgiveness in our Christian journey. It challenges us to examine our attitudes towards others, particularly those who have strayed from the path, and to emulate God's boundless love and compassion.
Broader context:
Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32):
This is the main passage where the parable is found.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation:
Matthew 18:21-22 - Jesus teaches about forgiveness.
Colossians 3:13 - Encouragement to forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another.
Luke 6:37 - Judge not, and you will not be judged; forgive, and you will be forgiven.
God's Unconditional Love:
Romans 8:38-39 - Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
1 John 4:16 - God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God.
Romans 5:8 - God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Ephesians 2:4-5 - But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.
Repentance and Restoration:
Acts 3:19 - Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.
Joel 2:13 - Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.
Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Celebration in Heaven over Repentance:
Luke 15:7 - Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Luke 15:10 - Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
God's Provision and Restoration:
Philippians 4:19 - And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 23:1 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
God's Sovereignty and Compassion:
Psalm 103:8 - The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Lamentations 3:22-23 - The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
James 5:11 - Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
Questions:
How does the parable of the Prodigal Son reflect God's unconditional love and forgiveness?
In what ways do we, like the older brother, struggle with forgiveness and harbor resentment towards others?
How can we cultivate a spirit of compassion and reconciliation in our interactions with those who have gone astray?
What steps can we take to emulate the father's example of mercy and grace in our daily lives?
Let us pray: Heavenly Father, we thank you for the timeless wisdom and grace revealed in the parable of the Prodigal Son. Teach us to extend forgiveness, show compassion, and embrace reconciliation in our relationships, reflecting your boundless love for all your children. Amen.

When you let go and let God, He can perform the work that he started in you , and he will bring it to completion, you only have to trust his process.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
