The Greek word for believe that is used in Ephesians 1:18 is a present active participle. That means it is a continuous action verb. Bible teacher Beth Moore explains: "In other words, the promise given in verses 19-20 is not applied to those 'having believed' as in verse 13 where they had believed to become Christians. Rather, it is applied to those who are presently, actively, and yes, continually believing God."

MY CREDIT REPORT
If I was trying to obtain salvation, based on my score I wouldn't get it.
My history shows that I've been delinquent in praise, past due in
prayer, my worship has been in collections and I've missed a few payments
(tithes)
Or only paid half
(you know how we put $20 in the basket and feel like we've done God a favor).
Not to mention that my debt (sin) to income (Blessings) ratio is…

Letter from Jesus about Christmas --
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are
taking My name out of the season.
How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily
understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your
own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My
birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now,…

Ponderables
=========
The following is something to ponder:
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a
Roof overhead and a place to sleep ...
You are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change
In a dish someplace ...
You are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ...
You…

The Reciprocal Flow of Abundance
Giving Without Expectations
Since giving and receiving are so intimately intertwined in our lives, we often expect that we can attract abundance by simply conducting ourselves in an openhanded fashion. Yet we find ourselves wallowing in disappointment when our ample generosity is not met with the expected results. The answer to this quandary lies in the expectations that, in part, initially prompted us to give. Though our…

"Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about'" (Gen 22:2).
Have you ever wanted something so bad that you would do almost anything to get it? Have you ever gotten so close to fulfilling a dream only to have it disappear right before your eyes?…

VERSE: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God"(Romans 10:17, NKJV).
THOUGHTS: Did you know that your faith in God can grow and increase every single day? Notice today's scripture doesn't say, "Faith comes because you have heard the Word of God one time." No, it says that "faith comes by hearing"—in the present tense.
Sure, God's Word can transform us in an instant; but most of the time, we need to hear God's principles over and over again…

o Hug Certificate for You If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
you could call your very own;
a place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I can't build a…

LIFE
Life is a gift of God
given not in years, but a day at a time.
Today
is the day the Lord has made for us,
and He planned it to be
the most important day of my Life.
Yesterday

but leave it in the hands of God.
Tomorrow
and all that it holds is God's secret and it's coming is not
assured.
Only Today
is our's.Each day, arranged by God with infinite wisdom

When you allow peace flow around…

This is a hoot, but I suspect the minister didn't appreciate it.
A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.' And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it…
