Bible Verses for the Week

SUNDAY - (Matthew 24:4, 5 NKJV) Jesus warned that in the last days counterfeit Christs would arise who would masquerade as the Messiah and claim to be the savior of the world. “Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many’ ”

MONDAY - (Matthew 7:22, 23, NIV) Tragically, those who are deceived in the last days by these false Christs will sincerely regard themselves to be genuine believers, actively doing the work of Christ. They will even prophesy in the name of Jesus, cast out demons in the name of Jesus, and work miracles in His name. But they are serving a false Christ—not the real Jesus. “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers’ ”

TUESDAY - (John 14:21, NIV) The followers of the false Christ disregard the commandments of Jesus. In contrast, Jesus declares, “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him”

WEDNESDAY - (1 John 2:17) “How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?”

THURSDAY - (Matthew 25:31-46) Jesus said, “Just as you did – or did not do – to the least of these, you did – or failed to do – for me”

FRIDAY - (Leviticus 25:35-36 NIV)“If one of your countrymen becomes poor and is unable to support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a temporary resident, so he can continue to live among you. Do not take interest of any kind from him, but fear your God, so that your countrymen may continue to live among you…

SATURDAY - (1 Timothy 6:17-19 NIV)”Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Bible Opinions for the Week

God made the world and all living things. God gave us His only son ,Jesus, so that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God was crucified on the cross by those who were filled with greed, lust for power, and hatred but He arose and ascended into Heaven. He lives today!
God sets up rulers and takes them down. (“He removeth kings, and setteth up kings” (Dan. 2:21).

Since the beginning, there have been many disagreements and interpretations of the Bible; however, today it's hard to find God and His teachings in many of our churches. The New Testament is largely disregarded by many churches and it's such a strong message about how we are to treat others.  Greed, lust for power, corruption, hatred, and discrimination has blinded many to the truth of God's word.

God’s son, Jesus, was sent to spread and teach God’s message to the world.  His Deciples delivered the “Sermon on the Mount”. The Beatitudes are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount,(Matthew 5:1-10). Jesus teaches us that if we live according to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life. The Beatitudes fulfill God’s promises made to Abraham and his descendants and describe the rewards that will be ours as loyal followers of Christ.

God's word has not changed ....

The Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean in heart,
for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
