You are such a uniquely special individual that there's not a person on this entire planet that shares your genetics. Your genes define who YOU are. However, your genes also define who your family is. It's why the Bible uses that term generations to describe a family tree. (These are the generations of Noah...) Your genes are special! In fact, in most monarchies that have ever existed, the royalty is or was only accepted by the individual's bloodline. If you don't have "royal

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. A doctor was dying. His visitor had been urging him to accept Christ. The doctor seemed to have difficulty understandin

Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Remember in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer when the kids i

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. A friend just told me about riding a zip line in Jamaica. It was a mile long and lasted several minutes and he soared from over a hilly jungle out over the beach and the ocean water, crossing a cove and landing on the sandy shore. He described this exhilarating ride including the nerv

If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Luke 12:28-30 There isn't a billionaire on the planet that could fund the care of all the world's pastures, field

You cannot stay where you are and go with God. Born with good looks, adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter, living in a palace, studying under the greatest secular Egyptian education, and surrounded by enormous wealth, Moses chose to shun all of it and to follow God's plan and God's people. He's not alone in this endeavor. In fact, every account of victory in the Scriptures is of a person who chose to go with God. Noah changed his life to build an ark. Abraham left his family to fath

Psalm 123:2 | Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us. Americans pride ourselves in our Constitutional freedom, and yet the Christian needs to recognize our true spiritual freedom, our freedom from sin, comes from our servitude. We are slaves to Jesus. It's not a pleasant word, but truthfully, the most joyous thing in

Because of King Jesus's righteousness, you belong in His Palace.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | Psalm 84:10 There is no shame in serving God, even when it means waiting a lifetime to see the fruit of that service. The world will resist your lifestyle of serving God. They resist Jesus. They resisted the prophets and church. This world is no friend of God's servants. But when you choose to serve Christ, realize you are in a place of honor! Many people work in a service-oriente
