Humility - the example of Jesus
2006-08-18 21:28:00
In the book of John Chapter 1, John talks about Jesu s .In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. All things came into being through him.And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.What a glorious event in History! God became a human being. The Almighty God who created the Heavens and the earthcame down to earth from heaven and became a man. He emptied himself, took the position of a slave and identified himself as one with the human race. What an example to follow.Jesus considered others more important than himself and hence he had no problem in serving anyone. He came to serve and not to be served. Phillipians 2We as Human beings were infected with Pride way back in the garden of Eden, when Lucifer infected the human race with the spirit of Pride. Sin entered through pride and so Salvation can come only through humility, the opposite of pride.Christ asks us to follow him, in his humility.What do we have that we have not received. God created man fro...

God is light & God is love
2006-08-17 19:40:00
The Apostle John in his letter of 1 John primarily talks about two things. God is light and God is love, in other words, Life and fellowship. 1John 1:5, 4:8 John the beloved disciple of Jesus after walking with his Lord for atleast 55-65 years, talks about the most important things that a Christian should remember and practice in his life. He talks about what existed from the beginning, life, eternal life, perfect fellowship in the trinity, between the father, son and the Holy Spirit. There can be no true fellowship without life, a quality of life, the Christ life, the divine life. Our fellowship should be in two directions, vertical toward God and horizontal toward our fellow human beings. There is a Cross between us and God. God made a way for us to fellowship with Him by sending his son to die on that Cross. Likewise there is a Cross between human beings, so you and I can fellowship ONLY if I die on the cross that is between us. There is no true fellowship without the Cross. ...

True Praise
2006-05-17 10:37:00
Stan Adams In 2 Chronicles 20, when the armies of Moab, Ammon and the Meunites declared war on Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah, Jehoshaphat seeks God and prays for help. He prays "Oh Lord God of our fathers, the Only God in all the heavens, the Ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth - you are so powerful, so mighty. Who can stand against you? O our God, didn't you drive out the heathen who lived in this land when your people arrived? And didn't you give this land forever to the descendants of your friend Abraham...? Jehoshaphat recognizes God as their father, God as the sovereign ruler who rules heaven and earth. He remembers how God delivered them in the past. He reminds God of the promise that he had made to their forefather Abraham.He humbles himself and acknowledges their weakness and lack of wisdom in vs. 12Earlier, we read that Jehoshaphat gathered all his people to fast and pray to God. The message for us from this chapter is that when we are facing a impossible situat...

Repentance
2006-04-15 10:46:00
Repentance Jesus started his ministry by preaching Repentance. Mark 1: 15 John the Baptist started his ministry by preaching Repentance. Mathew 3:2 The Apostle Paul and others preached repentance. Acts 20: 21 And unfortunately this is one thing that is not preached nowadays, and that is one of the reasons Christendom is in the pathetic state that it is in right now. There is not much difference between professing believers and the people who don?t believe in Christ. We need to get back to the basics and understand what this word really means. Repentance means to turn away from our old ways of living. It is to turn from sin and turn to God. When we see the great things that God has done for us in Christ, that the Son of God himself, the Lord Jesus had to come to this earth to pay the price for our sins by his own blood on a cruel cross, it should make us turn from our rotten sins. The penalty for our sins being death, eternal separation from God. And God in his great mercy, because ...

Christ died for our sins
2006-04-14 10:50:00
Christ died for our sinsStan AdamsGod demonstrated his great Love for us when he sent his Only son Jesus Christ to this earth in the form of a human being. John 3: 16And God did this for us when we were helpless and were sinners.Romans 5: 8It was the Love of God the father that sent our Lord Jesus Christ to this earth. What a wonderful Heavenly father we have. He cares for us and loves us so very deeply.John Newton portrays the Love of God so wonderfully in this hymn.Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me!I once was lost, but now am found;Was blind, but now I see.?Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relieved;How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!Through many dangers, toils and snares,I have already come;?Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.The Lord has promised good to me,His Word my hope secures;He will my Shield and Portion be,As long as life endures.Yea, when this flesh and heart...

Watch and Pray
2006-04-10 01:43:00
Watch and Pray Stan AdamsJesus said "Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14: 38The Lord Jesus just before his crucifixion, in the garden o f Gethsemane began to be very distressed and troubled.And he said to them " My soul is crushed by sorrow to the point of death; stay here and watch with me" vs. 34 L.BThere will be seasons in our life when we are distressed, fearful, grief-stricken and depressed. What do we do then?The Lord asks us to be on the alert, observe the seasons and pray.That night in the garden, the Lord?s heart was overwhelmed with sorrow and deep anguish. His soul was deeply troubled to the point of death. And he Knelt and prayed. He asked his friends to watch and pray along with him; but they were overcome by sleep.He may have prayed atleast three hours before he came to his disciples the third time. Vs 32-41It?s good to pray until we are strengthened from above. The disciple?s couldn?t wa...

The Love of God
2006-04-08 13:51:00
The Love of God Stan Adams God so loved the World, that He gave His Only begotten Son, that Whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life? John 3: 16 God gave his Only son to us that through Him, we may have eternal life. To know him intimately is eternal life. John 17: 3 Jesus Christ is everything that we need. God has met all our needs, the Past, the Present and the future completely in Christ Jesus. God has done his part? Our Part is to believe in Jesus, to rely on Jesus, to trust in Jesus, to depend on Jesus, to adhere to Jesus, to cling to Jesus. To walk with Jesus is the greatest honor, it is the highest privilege, it is the greatest work a human being can ever do. The Past even if it is like scarlet, red like crimson, it can be whiter than snow if we will repent, turn from our sins and confess them, the bible says in 1 John 1: 9 that he is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Lord himself has promised to be with us in our tim...

How to become a Spiritual person

How to become a Spirit ual person.Stan AdamsIf you look around in Christendom today, you will find that most people arereligious and not spiritual. You may say, what do you mean.Being religious is to follow a certain set of rules, do certain activities oncertain days etc. There are many religions in the world today which peoplepractice. What makes true Christianity any different from them?If you call yourself a Christian and live a life style not much different fromthe people around you, then you are a religious person.You may ask then, what is it to be spiritual.The answer lies in Jesus Christ, God who became a human being to show us how tolive on this earth.In the gospel?s Jesus said " Not my will but thine be done" luke 22:42. This washis life style each and every day of his life on this earth. He did nothing ofhimself, He did everything in consultation with his father. That is the life weare called to live as Christians. It says in Romans 8:12-14, to be led of thespirit is to be ...

The Defeat of Satan
2006-02-03 23:51:00
The Defeat of Satan Stan AdamsOne of the greatest Joys of my life is when I understood, from the Word of God through Prophetic teaching that the enemy of our souls, Satan also known as the Devil was defeated on the cross at calvary by our Lord Jesus Christ.Christ through his death has rendered Satan powerless. Not only that, He died so that we might be delivered from all fears even the fear of death. Hebrews 2: 14,15God wants us to overcome all fears in our lives; for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7.We can overcome ALL fears with God?s help. The Bible encourages us in the book of 1Peter 5: 5-9 to clothe ourselves with humility toward one another, to HUMBLE ourselves under God?s hand that orders our circumstances in life, to cast all our anxiety on him and finally to be of sober spirit, to be on the alert because the Devil prowls like a roaring lion seeking...

God's call to Prayer
2006-02-02 22:33:00
God?s Call to Pray er Stan AdamsIt is God?s desire that in these Last days, the Body of Christ will seek Him with all their heart.God has promised us that we will FIND him IF we search for him with ALL of our heart. Jeremiah 29: 12,13 In Colossians 4:2 the Apostle Paul encourages us to devote ourselves to Prayer with an attitude of thanksgiving. Prayer is a constant communication with God throughout the day. The Lord has made a Promise to us in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave us alone and so we can confidently say "The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?"A Hymn that has blessed my life for 30 years is "What a friend we have in Jesus."I remember my Dad humming it frequently at our home, when I was a child. Jesus, the Lord of Heaven and earth is our friend. Isn?t that so wonderful? Let us then come boldly to the throne of grace and cast our burdens at his fee...
