The last thing a Christian ought to say is that "I am bored!" With so many lives void of hope in Christ Jesus, how can you dare say, I have nothing to do when there are unsaved family members staring at you. We know where to buy the hottest outfits but in time of trouble, no Word in our heart to speak to the situation. Phone is ringing off the hook but how often have you had a little talk with Jesus? Bored, nothing to do? I'm pretty sure there is someone in the nursing home or hospital that wouldn't mind a visit or too! No wonder the laborers are few when their hands are too busy with NOTHING to do!

As often as you remind her that she's beautiful, tell her that she's smart, brilliant, amazing, and has the capacity to accomplish much in Christ Jesus, so when she gets older, she won't rely so much on superficiality but being a woman of substance. Now that's beautiful! #Raisingourdaughterstobemorethaneyecandy

How deep is your Forgiveness?

Stephen was stoned (actually stoned) but the Spirit took him to another place where he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin!" At what end of the pool does your forgiveness for others run? The shallow end? or the Deep end? Ask yourself that question the next time someone cuts you off, someone curses you out, steps on your toe, or if and when someone hurts you in any regard. Prayerfully in the face of opposition when your stance is for righteousness and the other opposes because of the cause of Christ, you will cry out from the deep end of the pool, "Lord please forgive them for they know not what they do!"

I'M ABOUT TO CHANGE MY MIND!

Well Loyal Baptist Church is about to change her mind! Minister Vanessa Hambrick preached from the text Romans 12:1-2 and echoing from the pulpit are the words, "you must have the willingness to be transformed!" Esther not only was willing to make a drastic change (transformed) but desired to have "fresh life and strength to her mind" (renewed). That's right, Esther while facing adversity changed he mindset in order to be victorious not just for her benefit but for her entire nation! Loyal, a church going M.A.D. (Making A Difference) must have this mindset! Praise God we got what we need in order to move in the right direction! Thank you Min.Vanessa Hambrick for challenging us that we may do greater works in Jesus' name!

#willtherealchristiansstandup!

We need to stop asking for the "real Jesus to stand up."  The real Jesus did stand up, stood up, rose up with all power in His hand and now sits at the right hand of the Father.  The real Jesus also spoke up, spoke out about sin and against the self-righteousness many of us are living in.  The real Jesus is God, is truth, is the way, is the life......For we who know the "real" JESUS, submit to his LORDSHIP and walk in truth outlined in Scripture, the way that is life and the life you live should reflect an old nature passing away while the inner man/woman is being renewed everyday. 

This is a walk by faith and not by feelings....
It was not meant to feel good but it's for your good
Hold on my sister
Hold on my brother
I understand what the older saints mean when they say,
I am yet holding on!
We are yet holding on
Praise God
In Jesus' name
Amen!
