 Enjoying time with my girls.

Marching Orders


1 Corinthians 16:13

New International Version (NIV)
13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

Responding to the Word


There is a sense that when someone comes to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, their work is done.  Paul however has something entirely different in mind.  He knows that each of us needs to ready to share and defend the faith of Jesus Christ.  Defend the faith?  Sounds difficult?


1.  Remember that God loved the World and sent His one and only son. John 3:16
2.  Jesus paid the price when He went to cross and died for our sins. Romans 5:8
3.  There is one way to God and this wonderful place we call heaven.  It's through Jesus Christ.           1 Tim 2:5
If you want, just walk around with your pointer finger in the air.  It will remind you that there is but "one way" for us to be saved.


Praying through the Word


Father, How I love living in this incredible community called Plant City.  If I'm not careful, I will assume all of America is like this.  Good Christian people willing to help each other.  Help me to remember that much of the world is not like this.  Help us to be on our guard and stand firm in our faith.  Help us to always be ready to give an account for the hope that lies within us.
 In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen
