For Lovers of Pleasure

March 26, 2008 No Comments

As I see it, a lot of pleasures are of course God-given and its good for us to give thanks for them. But I want to say something to people who believe that their whole pursuit in life should basically be for pleasure in one form or another. I would say it is a pretty popular view and one worth addressing.

An early Christian leader, Paul, wrote that if there is no resurrection, “Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die”. In other words, if this life is all there is to live for, then let’s live it up and enjoy it.

Praise and Worship

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)

God is seeking something. The Bible says in another place that the eyes of the Lord run over the earth, looking for someone whose heart is completely devoted to Him. God wants to work strongly in that man or woman’s life. And God is seeking worshipers. Are they so hard to find? Men and women everywhere are worshiping. There are billions of religious people on the earth.

Prayers to Abide in Christ

Lord Jesus, you told us to abide in You, and You in us. Otherwise we cannot bear fruit. Apart from you we can do nothing. We thank You that you will abide in us, as we obey your command to love one another. We thank You that through You we will bear much fruit. (John 15:4,5)

Lord, we pray for all those not abiding in You. We pray that they will repent, and not be thrown away as worthless branches. We pray that those in the church will never dry up. We pray they will never be cast into the fire and burned (John 15:6).

This is what my Faithful Lord who cannot lie has declared to me!

If you abide in Me, and my Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:7)

Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:24)

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. (Matthew 21:22)

And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Lord, I devote myself to prayer. Help me to keep myself alert in it, with thanksgiving. (Col. 3:2)

Lord, I ought always to pray and not lose heart. (Lk 18:1)

O Lord, keep me from the sin of ceasing to pray for the people of God. (1 Samuel 12:23)

Praying the Word

Pray without ceasing. (1 Thes. 5:17)

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ears to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. (Pr. 4:20-22)

Lord, by your grace I will pray the Word as much as I can, so that while never ceasing to pray, I will keep my eyes on your Word for all the situations that confront me and all you want to say to me.

Lord, help me to pray without ceasing without letting your Word depart from my eyes.

Resisting Worry, Anxiety, Frustration

February 26, 2007 3 Comments

I cast all my anxieties (worries) upon the Lord, because He cares for me. 1Pet 5.7

I have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving I let my requests be made known to God. Php 4.6

I do not fret or worry or get anxious because of wicked people. I am not envious of wrongdoers. Ps 37.1

I am still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him. I do not get uptight or worry over the one who prospers through dirty tricks and dishonest methods. Ps 37.7

I will hold myself from getting angry about this stuff.

Confessions of What I Speak

February 24, 2007 No Comments

WHAT I MUST SPEAK AND WHAT I MUST NOT SPEAK I must let no corrupt word proceed out of my mouth, but only such a word as is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Eph 4.29

I must speak evil of no man. Tit 3.2

I must restrain my lips. Pr 10.19

I must be continually filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 5.18-5.20
